GPL Exception
So the CDDL gets added to the GPL Exception, and the Eclipse Public License still hasn't been? What's the deal, where's the holdup?
By David Walser at Sun, 2007/12/16 - 6:00am
Re: GPL Exception
Isn't the Eclipse license a BSD like license? In that case it will never get added, just like the lgpl will never get added. (oh, and if you need to ask why, you haven't thought about it long enough)
By T at Sun, 2007/12/16 - 6:00am
Re: GPL Exception
Eclipse Public License is one of the few popular licenses not on the exception list actually, BSD MIT and LGPL are all present.
By Skeith at Sun, 2007/12/16 - 6:00am
Re: GPL Exception
No, in fact, the EPL is a newer version of the Common Public License (the difference between the two being very minor), and the CPL is in the GPL Exception!

Wow... does this mean that SWT could finally get a Qt backend?
By chris.w at Mon, 2007/12/17 - 6:00am
Re: GPL Exception
No, it means that bringing up licences as an excuse will finally not be possible any more.
The QPL, one of the licences of Qt/X11 has always made it possible to do an SWT backend implementation, but it has been a convenient excuse to "forget" this option and just point out the incompatability with the GPL option.
By Kevin Krammer at Mon, 2007/12/17 - 6:00am
Re: GPL Exception
I had waited for something like this for a long time, but the wait was so long (and is unlikely to be over, since an actual SWT/Qt would still have to be coded and released) that I've switched to QtJambi. It gets me that native LAF I missed in KDE, but is nicely cross platform as well, completely obviating my need for SWT.
I'd still like to see it for those apps that are written with SWT, but I have no need of it for future projects of my own.

Anyway, as biased as your post may seem, I totally agree with you. All the passive reading I've done on the web (and in magazines like Wire) seems to confirm this.

Re: frak facebook, frack orkut!
Why scams? Yes they collect data, and in return they provide a service. Actually a pretty damned good one. Social networks are part of life, just like email, they make it easier to keep in contact with people you know. I am more than willing to let them know which music and books I like, I trust them email as much as I trust Google, and yes they also know the city where I live in, Amazon and a bunch of other online shops know my full address. What is the big deal...

Re: frak facebook, frack orkut!
yeah... the big deal is ..putting all the little pieces of the puzzle together into one big picture... the big deal is __to combine__ the data. Your order some meds online, you leave traces in social networks, you order books online, you store your mail on gmail. As much as we don't feel it right now we're shifting from consumers/buyers to "targets".

Re: frak facebook, frack orkut!
At some point, there will be a time where many people will get some backlash of putting so much of themselves publically. Of course, they'll complain but that'll be too late and honestly, the only ones they should blame in that case is themselves. There has already been reports of people who were discarded from jobs because of some things they did put on Facebook and like. You may feel sour about the way companies may have disregarded you, but in the end, you shouldn't have made public information that may threaten you in the first place.

Re: frak facebook, frack orkut!
The Weimar republic was nowhere near being a good democracy. It was terribly immature. There were hundreds of rivaling parties, and worst of all, it was a constant battle between extreme ideologies. If the Nazis wouldn't have won, some other Fascists or Marxists would have. Well, probably every other option than the Nazis would have been the lesser, but the chances for a true, lasting and stable democracy under post-WWI conditions were extremely low to begin with.
By chris.w at Mon, 2007/12/17 - 6:00am
Nah. You are basing this entirely on extrapolation backwards from the known outcome. It is the kind of wishful thinking you see on e.g. a skydiving forum. As soon as an accident is reported everyone wants to know what exact make the equipment was. This is a perfectly legitimate question, except that some people, mostly those new to the sport, only want to be told that the equipment was different from their own, so that they can convince themselves that it couldn't happen to them and continue to feel safe.
I agree with grandparent that Weimar was perfectly good as democracies go. From a political perspective it was certainly better than certain stale, contemporary two-party systems. The problems were more in the economy and in the sociological situation. But let's not blame the outcome on Weimar, or even on the Communists. (That was already done, by you-know-who.) And most of all, let's not convince ourselves that everything was different back then, because Weimar was "immature," and that such things could therefore not happen in the "modern" world.

By Gerry at Mon, 2007/12/17 - 6:00am
Re: frak facebook, frack orkut!
Yeah stop being paranoid. Unless you are stupid and allow everyone to see your profile, then there is little risk of people finding out secret information. Besides apart from your data of birth, and perhaps address and phone number there isn't really any useful information there anyway!
Now consider how many online shops you have given your address, date of birth, credit card details, etc. etc. to. I think you just want to seem superior in your non-use of facebook.
On the other hand, many people have social lives and find it useful and fun to use facebook to organise events, look at photos of people, and basically stalk your friends. If the stupid applications/idiot-spam* continues I may have to leave it though. Why oh why did they open it up to everyone?!

Re: frak facebook, frack orkut!
Idiot spam is good. ;) I do usually have a dozen or so "application notification" things that I clean up once every couple of months.
Luckily Facebook does categorize everything really well, so for instance I've never gotten any spam on the Facebook Messaging system. Which is really just amazing given that any Facebook user can message me, they must have sophisticated spam-fighting measures to keep spam bots from signing up.

I don't know how you're handling this, but for me there applies a simple rule... i don't give an online shop personal information that isn't actually needed. If amazon for example knows my adress and name that's enough to get the book or CD or whatever i bought to my house. I pay per bank transfer and that's it. Why would you provide them with correct date of birth, credit card and other stuff they don't need? Don't tell me you also answer all these questions about household income, personal interests and so on, too.
By Marc at Tue, 2007/12/18 - 6:00am
Re: frak facebook, frack orkut!
I see your point (although off topic) and there are many ways the targeting you talk about to be blocked.
I think that the only way to prevent such "social" networks, and huge information aggregators from targeting you (even if you use them) to behave illogically, here are few ideas how:
All this systems are based on statistics, the more you mess up their stats, the less ROI their advertisers will get. In the end if you can just join "for pay" service where you will never get annoyed or targeted from any demographically or statistically based popups, ads or flashes.
Happy Holidays!

A Good KDE Distro? Recommendations, please!
This is just a general question for KDE people not really related to today's articles on the "Dot"...
I am a long-time GNOME user looking to move to KDE. I won't mention the reasons why here, as I definitely do not want to start a flame war. In the past, I have always used Fedora as my distro of choice and it is an excellent GNOME-based distro. However, most people seem to think that the implementation of KDE on Fedora is far from the best available. Since I haven't used other distros (at least, not for years) I don't really have a yardstick to go by.
I would therefore like to ask what distro most KDE people use. Which distro has the best default installation of KDE? I must confess that I started to play with OpenSuSE a few nights ago and wasn't really that impressed by it, despite its good reputation. Not to be too negative but I really could not take to the Start Menu and the distro seemed to be lacking a lot of tools needed whilst others did not work (for example, kppp was missing but there was another network tool which did not agree with my modem). I obtained OpenSuSE from a magazine cover DVD, so perhaps not all the software was on there???
I am really only looking for a general purpose distribution. I would prefer something I can download from FTP in ISO format. I do not want a commercial distro that I have to pay for. I would class my Linux experience level is "moderate". My only real pre-requisite is that it have excellent hardware support and configuration tools.
Any suggestions? As I said before, I do not want to start a flame war, so please do not be too critical or condemnatory of other distros. Only positive suggestions are needed! Cheers and thanks in advance.
By Kerr Avon at Wed, 2007/12/19 - 6:00am
Re: A Good KDE Distro? Recommendations, please!
Well, I predict you will get told to ask this on another list/forum but don't take it personally. I too, am a relative newcomer but I have to say that I would vote for openSuse. It has good configuration tools (Yast) and I would say the most polished and cutting-edge packages (eg for kde4 and backports) this is mostly due to several of the higher-ups being prominent kde code contributors. Regarding your dislike of that menu (I like it) you can just right-click on it to switch it to a more traditional tree view menu. And if you can get hold of the DVD version of 10.3 you should have all the packages you'll need and can usually get the rest from their build service (http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=openSUSE:10.3). I'll stop now lest I be accused of being an eevil MS-lovin novell astroturfer.
Note I found kubuntu to be in many ways just as good but the default desktop was a little bit less 'sharp' and they annoyed me by being petty and removing the terminal shortcut from konqueror. On the other hand 'buntu seems to be popular and has healthy forums. I have not (but plan to) tried fedora but hear good things about it and I believe it also has up to date kde packages which are actually a focus of the project going forward (I think I read?).
I would expect all the latest distros to have very similar levels of hardware support so I would get some livecds and play with them over a free weekend.
Good luck.
By anon at Wed, 2007/12/19 - 6:00am
Re: A Good KDE Distro? Recommendations, please!
I use Mandriva right now for KDE with great success, however there are a great number of good KDE distros. Immediately, I think of OpenSuse, PCLinuxOS, Kubuntu, and even the Fedora KDE-spin is fairly well received. I'd even recommend Slackware if you're a power user that just wants a "virgin" KDE :)
There are many good ones out there too if you are looking for something that is more localized, depending on your language: for example Red Flag Linux is a KDE distro that is popular in China; there's ALT Linux in Russia; in India there are several good KDE distros too. These distros might give you a better experience in your language, depending on where you are from...
Of course, most BSD's also have pretty good KDE support (at least in 3.x, I'm not sure how well 4.x is doing in the *bsd world these days...)
Have fun :)

No matter what rumors run around (mostly due to old gripes about Red Hat Linux 8 which are entirely obsolete these days), we're hard at work bringing you a nice KDE experience, see:
By Kevin Kofler at Wed, 2007/12/19 - 6:00am
Re: A Good KDE Distro? Recommendations, please!
Well, I really appreciate the addition of Scribus recently but why was k3b dropped from the installation disk? It is painful for those of us who only have dial-up internet access to obtain it from a repository.
Also are there more KDE packages available on the new KDE live spin then there are on the "main" Fedora DVD?
By Kerr Avon at Wed, 2007/12/19 - 6:00am
Re: A Good KDE Distro? Recommendations, please!
> why was k3b dropped from the installation disk?
The DVD contents are now determined differently. Prior to Fedora 7, it was easy to determine: there was Core and there was Extras, the DVD simply contained everything in Core and nothing from Extras. Now that we have one big collection, the contents of the DVD have to be actually specified. The problem is that K3b is listed as an "optional" rather than a "default" component ("optional" means "optional and not installed by default", "default" means "optional, but installed by default") of the "Sound and Video" group, so it isn't dragged in automatically by the reference to that group, nor is it listed explicitely in the DVD compose configuration. I'll ask the folks responsible for the DVD if K3b can be made available on the DVD in future releases (Fedora 9 and later).
> Also are there more KDE packages available on the new KDE live spin then
Yes, there are more KDE packages on the KDE live spin than on the DVD. K3b is included on the KDE live spin.
By Kevin Kofler at Thu, 2007/12/20 - 6:00am
Re: A Good KDE Distro? Recommendations, please!
I just asked on the fedora-devel-list about K3b on future DVD spins:
By Kevin Kofler at Thu, 2007/12/20 - 6:00am
Re: A Good KDE Distro? Recommendations, please!
Thanks for doing that for me. On forums like OSNews.com, in the past, I have read some people citing k3b as THE "killer" KDE application, so it was strange to see it dropped from the install DVD. It would be great to have it back.
It is excellent that Amarok, Digikam and Scribus are now on the DVD though. As I said, my main problem is I am on a slow network connection so downloading things from repositories is a problem. However, I think for other people, especially Linux newcomers, the DVD should showcase the best applications available and cover a wide range of areas as first impressions do count. Therefore, if we show them applications like Scribus, without them needing to fossick in the respositories to find them, they can see the potential for Linux as a desktop publishing system straightaway. Although Scribus may not yet be of the standard of professional industry level applications like Adobe or Quark at least it covers home user needs, so that is one more niche that desktop Linux has covered.
Thanks again for your response and following this up on your mailing list for me. Great to see a community that listens to the needs and concerns of humble users like myself! :-)

Re: A Good KDE Distro? Recommendations, please!
The best KDE distribution I've tested is Kubuntu. It comes with a good set of packages, good hardware detection, and a good community.
By Michael at Wed, 2008/01/02 - 6:00am
try out Mandriva, this distribution doesn't get as much attention as a few years ago, but it's stable, it's user-friendly, it has a nice community and a huge repository, it's available for for free and last but not least, it has top notch KDE integration.

Re: also,
this should have been a reply to "Kerr Avon" actually....
By ypsilon at Wed, 2007/12/19 - 6:00am
Re: also,
Thanks to all of you for your thoughts. I'd prefer not to use Slackware, though I have heard it is extremely stable. Since it has only one maintainer, do they have any contingency plan if something happens to him? Also, I'd probably opt for something a little more user-friendly at this stage.
Kubuntu is tempting but I am not sure if it would have a wide-enough range of packages on the install disk. I am only on dial-up in my location, so downloading from online repositories is a pain in the rump.
I might play with Open SuSe a bit more and also look at Mandriva.
I am definitely interested to hear the Fedora person respond to my extra questions that I posted above. Yes, if they provide good KDE support, then there is little point in moving to another distro as they have good community support and excellent hardware detection (at least for my set-up).
Thanks again.

Not really; I imagine someone would probably step up though. You might want to look at vector linux, a derivative maintained by more of a community. (But I very much recommend actual slackware)

A 3-year-old boy was found wandering on Interstate-75 last week after he managed to get out of his house in the middle of the night.
According to Sgt. Robert Reed of the Williamstown Police Department, the child was left home with his 16-year-old sister while his father went to pick up his mother from work due to the road conditions on Feb. 3.
"Both were asleep when the father left, so there was nothing out of the ordinary," Reed said.
Police estimate the child was outside 40 to 45 minutes.
The boy was found near the 156-mile marker around 2:30 a.m. by a passing motorist who called 911.
He was wearing only a T-shirt, jogging pants and no shoes.
Reed estimate he walked over a mile and a half in the snow, down a steep embankment, before he wandered onto I-75.
He was taken to the St. Elizabeth-Grant County where he was treated for swollen feet, but he was later released to his parents.
Not knowing where the toddler came from, police tracked his footprints back through the snow when they ran into his father who was frantically searching for him after he returned home and realized he wasn't inside, Reed said.
"He's one very lucky little guy," Reed said. "This was pretty sobering that it could happen to anyone. It could have been really bad, but it worked out as the best case scenario."
Reed said no charges were filed because no crime was committed.
Also assisting at the scene were Trooper Josh Whitton, Deputy Kevin Burke and Rural Metro Ambulance.
Three-year-old wanders 1.5 miles from home at 2:30 a.m. with no shoes or coat.

I'm so excited that the first book in the Maggie Brooklyn series, A Girl's Best Friend by Leslie Margolis, is out and available at your local bookstores! Like so many projects I'm working on these days, I was so very delighted to be a part of this. I once lived in Brooklyn NY and when walking alongside the many brownstones lining the street it's not hard to feel a bit of magic and mystery, like you find in this book. I loved learning more about Maggie and finding out who she really is. This is also one of the first books where I did all of the hand lettering for the title and author's name as well as the top banner with the brooklyn skyline. I'm really happy with how it all turned out.
This morning while going through my emails I found out about this wonderful interview by Melissa Walker with author Leslie Margolis which highlights Leslie's perspective on how the cover came to be. When people find out that I am illustrator I often get asked whether or not the author has any input or feelings on how the cover, character, etc. turns out. This interview is a wonderful, up close and informative excerpt that shows just what the journey is like from the author's side of things. Thanks so much Melissa and Leslie. It was a treat reading this!
And speaking of reading...I highly recommend you go out and get this book and get to reading it as well!
**Oh and I just found out that there is a Maggie Brooklyn website! check it out!

Peanut Butter Comfort by Averie Sunshine
February 16, 2014
Ahhhh… I feel better.
Ever have an almost addict-like urge to bake something? Sometimes the feeling of wanting to bake is almost as strong as the urge to eat whatever tasty treat will come from it. I'm sure that's a feeling that would seem completely ridiculous to people who don't truly enjoy baking or cooking, but there's something so peaceful and satisfying about creating something in the kitchen on a lazy weekend that has consistently kept it as one of my favorite activities.
I was excited to receive Averie Sunshine's Peanut Butter Comfort last Christmas and these Butterscotch Cream Peanut Butter Cookies mark the second tasty recipe I've made from it. The name of these cookies is true to their flavor - if you under-bake them just right, they have a wonderfully creamy consistency and a flavor that's a lovely hybrid of butterscotch and peanut butter.
We are leaving tomorrow for a couple of weeks in Austin, TX during which I doubt I'll be undertaking too many crazy kitchen sessions, so I'm glad I got one last hurrah in while I could. Is it weird that our luggage tends to consist of the normal clothes and toiletries along with a chef's knife, ridiculous amounts of coffee-making supplies and the occasional jar of peanut butter? Nah.
Oh and cookies… can't forget the cookies!
Clear some space on your cookbook shelf (or in your luggage) for a copy of Averie's Peanut Butter Comfort.

Barcode readers read damaged 2D codes
Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ: CGNX) has integrated advanced 2DMax+ code reading software technology into the compact DataMan 100 and 200 fixed-mount barcode readers. With 2DMax+, the readers can now identify and decode severely damaged or poorly marked 2-D matrix codes. Most importantly, the the company said, the barcode readers are unaffected by variations in lighting, marking method, code quality or surface finish.
Though Data Matrix codes have built-in error correction, "no-reads" can still occur when codes are incomplete. 2DMax+ can read Data Matrix codes even when critical elements are missing. 2DMax+ can also locate and decode Data Matrix codes that are overexposed or underexposed, without requiring multiple retries.
The DataMan 100 and 200 readers have an industrial-rated housing, measuring just 23 x 42 x 64mm. The DataMan 200 series incorporates variable focus liquid lens technology for applications that require a larger depth of field or refocusing after a product changeover. The DataMan 200 models also support Ethernet connectivity with a wide range of industrial protocols, for real-time part tracking, image archiving, data transfer and seamless integration with plant controllers and information networks. The DataMan 100 series provides USB and RS-232 communication options.

FACT: "Argentina's first coup, supported by middle-class groups, occurred in 1930 when General José F. Uriburu attempted to establish a praetorian regime in some ways akin to Benito Mussolini's fascist state. Following Uriburu's brief reign, the military was in an out of power—with truly civilian governments seldom enjoying more than a few consecutive years in office—until 1983. The army's political involvement was partially motivated by their aversion to Peronist influences in politics. Juan Perón, a former army colonel who took an important role in the 1943 coup and subsequently served as minister of labor, was thrice elected president (1946, 1952, and 1973) and became immensely popular among the lower classes. The armed forces detested Perón's left-wing populist polices and, backed by opposition parties and the Roman Catholic Church, toppled his regime in 1955. Following an eighteen-year exile, Perón returned to Buenos Aires and to power in 1973 only to be felled by heart attacks nine months later."
The Soldier and the Changing State: Building Democratic
Armies in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas
by Zoltan Barany
The Soldier and the Changing State is the first book to systematically explore, on a global scale, civil-military relations in democratizing and changing states. Looking at how armies supportive of democracy are built, Zoltan Barany argues that the military is the most important institution that states maintain, for without military elites who support democratic governance, democracy cannot be consolidated. Barany also demonstrates that building democratic armies is the quintessential task of newly democratizing regimes. But how do democratic armies come about? What conditions encourage or impede democratic civil-military relations? And how can the state ensure the allegiance of its soldiers?
Barany examines the experiences of developing countries and the armed forces in the context of major political change in six specific settings: in the wake of war and civil war, after military and communist regimes, and following colonialism and unification/apartheid. He evaluates the army-building and democratization experiences of twenty-seven countries and explains which predemocratic settings are most conducive to creating a military that will support democracy. Highlighting important factors and suggesting which reforms can be expected to work and fail in different environments, he offers practical policy recommendations to state-builders and democratizers.

The AdS/CFT correspondence provides new insights and tools to answer
previously inaccessible questions in quantum gravity. Among the most
interesting is whether it is possible to describe a cosmological
"bounce" in a mathematically complete and consistent way. In the
talk, I'll discuss joint work with M. Smolkin, developing the dual description
of the simplest possible 4d M-theory cosmology in the stringy regime, employing
the full quantum dynamics of its dual CFT. I'll also present evidence that the
description extends to the Einstein-gravity regime.

BANGKOK — Thailand's government on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in Bangkok and surrounding areas to cope with protests that have stirred up violent attacks, adding to the country's monthslong sense of crisis.
Labor Minister Chalerm Yubumrung announced that the measure will continue for 60 days. He did not announce any specific actions.
The decree greatly expands the power of security forces to issue orders and search, arrest and detain people, with limited judicial and parliamentary oversight. The areas covered had already been placed under tougher-than-normal security under the country's Internal Security Act.
The state of emergency follows increasing attacks at protest sites for which the government and the protesters blame each other. These include grenades thrown in daylight and drive-by shootings. On Sunday, 28 people were wounded when two grenades were tossed at one of several protest sites set up at key Bangkok intersections.
Another grenade attack on a protest march last Friday killed one man and wounded dozens. No arrests have been made in either attack. Nine people have been killed and hundreds hurt in violence since the protests began in early November. The protesters escalated their tactics this month with a threat to "shut down" the capital to prevent the government from functioning.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said she has emphasized that every officer in a newly established emergency center under the decree "must work with patience and exercise caution."
"We have repeated that we will take care of the situation according to international practices, which is something we have always said. Primarily, we have to use the principle of negotiation first," she said.
Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban, in a speech to followers, questioned whether the declaration was justified, saying the demonstrators had been peaceful.
"Is it right for them to use the emergency decree to declare a state of emergency to come and deal with us? Come and get us," he declared to an enthusiastic crowd of hundreds at a park in downtown Bangkok. Thousands more are encamped at other locations in the capital.
The protesters have been demanding Yingluck's resignation to make way for an appointed government to implement reforms to fight corruption. Yingluck called elections for Feb. 2 but the protesters are insisting they not be held.
The opposition Democrat Party, closely aligned with the protesters, is boycotting the polls.
The announcement of the emergency decree said the elections would proceed as planned. But the state Election Commission has repeatedly urged that the polls be postponed, and it is hard to say if they can be held in strongholds of the protest movement in southern Thailand.
The protesters charge that Yingluck's government is carrying on the practices of Thaksin Shinawatra, her billionaire brother who was prime minister from 2001 to 2006, by using the family fortune and state funds to influence voters and cement its power. Thaksin was ousted by a military coup in 2006 after street protests accused him of corruption and abuse of power. He fled into exile in 2008 to avoid a two-year prison sentence for a conflict of interest conviction.
Deputy Prime Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul said that in the view of security officials, "the protesters have constantly violated the law, especially in closing down government offices and banks and harassment against civil servants to prevent them from working."
He added that Suthep's group "had gone overboard, and attacks were carried out by ill-intentioned people, causing people to be injured and killed, affecting the country's stability."
As many as 200,000 people have joined the biggest of the opposition protests in the past two months. The demonstrators are mainly middle class, and are generally backed by big business and the financial elite. They include a large contingent of people from southern Thailand, a stronghold of the Democrat Party.
Thaksin and his political allies have easily won every national election since 2001, with Yingluck's Pheu Thai party winning a majority of lower house seats in 2011.
Pro-Thaksin "Red Shirt" activists staged their own disruptive protests in Bangkok in 2010 against a Democrat-led government. Thaksin draws support from the lower and lower middle classes, mostly rural people who benefited from his populist policies, including virtually free health care.
The emergency decree was last used during the 2010 unrest, when Suthep was deputy prime minister in the Democrat government and headed the agency overseeing its application. The Red Shirt protesters were assisted by a small, shadowy armed militia, and at least 90 people, mostly protesters, died in violence which peaked when soldiers in combat gear swept demonstrators from the streets. Suthep has been charged with murder for his role in the crackdown.
There are fears the current protesters are trying to incite violence to prompt the military to intervene, and Yingluck has dealt softly with demonstrators in a bid to keep the situation calm.
The powerful army commander, Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha, has repeatedly said he does not want his forces drawn into the conflict, but has also refused to rule out the possibility of a military takeover.
"The military will support the government's working by providing our force as it is needed," deputy army spokesman Col. Winthai Suvaree said after the decree was announced.
Since Yingluck took office, she has walked a careful tightrope with the army and her opponents that succeeded in maintaining political calm. The trigger for the latest protests was an ill-advised attempt late last year by ruling party lawmakers to push through a bill that would have allowed Thaksin to return from overseas exile.
Since then, demonstrators have steadily escalated their pressure, attacking Yingluck's office at government house and the city's police headquarters for several days in December with slingshots and homemade rocket launchers, and periodically occupying the compounds of several government agencies.

April 08, 2009
By Paul Feinberg
LOS ANGELES -- Linda Baldwin, UCLA Anderson's assistant dean of diversity initiatives, was honored by Anderson's Riordan Fellows at their annual Gala on April 18th, 2009. Baldwin was the Riordan Program's first executive director and a member of the original team that created and conceived the program. The Riordan Program is a career-based outreach program that motivates high school students, college students and recent college graduates from diverse backgrounds and under-served communities to consider and prepare for careers in management through education, mentorship and professional development.
Under the direction of Executive Director Alex Lawrence ('99) and Associate Director Roxanne Mendez, the Riordan Program - named for former Los Angeles Mayor and program benefactor Richard Riordan -- includes the Riordan Fellows (targeting recent college graduates who are considering graduate education in business management), as well as the Riordan Scholars Program (targeting college bound high school students interested in learning about business and developing leadership skills ) and the Healthcare Management Program (targeting current college students interested in careers in the healthcare industry).
Lawrence notes that the Riordan team is serving more participants than ever while Mendez notes that "even in today's tough economic times, we're able to get our participants internships. We're working very hard to make sure our students are more competitive as they make the transition from college to the workplace." Mendez points out that the Riordan Fellows Program has historically attracted primarily local Southern California students, but that now there are participants flying in from across the country to attend the weekend sessions.
Baldwin was there in the beginning.
"My role was 'the implementer'," she recalled. "When I came aboard in 1987, there was already a combination of thoughts and processes devised by Professor Bill Ouchi and his team, who had done a lot of research on how to increase diversity at UCLA Anderson."
"I, along with some very dedicated staff, looked at what they had developed and hammered out what we thought might become the key components," Baldwin said. "We were tasked with taking something that existed only on paper and making it happen. I'm proud to say that we laid the foundation, and much of the curriculum we developed is still used today."
Baldwin remains steadfast in her commitment to bringing greater diversity to the UCLA Anderson community. Diversity has been one of her core values -- while serving the Riordan programs, in her current position and during her 15 year stint as Anderson's director of MBA admissions. "Diversity is important, the best solutions come from developing and valuing different perspectives," Baldwin said. "In today's world, with the complex problems we face, diversity has even more relevance because it is about bringing the best of these thoughts and ideas together to create effective results. "
"I'm humbled by this honor," Baldwin continued. "It's been incredibly meaningful to me to be a part of this program, that has over the last 20-plus years contributed to the development of individuals who have gone on to achieve so much not only for themselves but also for the greater community."

Here comes video:
Now here is a video showing the same demo in PC, with "cheat mode" turned on:
So it's mostly useless... but somewhat f-f-f-fun :)
I suppose this is just using the "merged" blob position that you get with the single touch screen and interpreting it as the middle of two or more equal-pressure points, or is there more to this?
thp: Yes, only tricky part is building "touch grid" so that it actually feels like working all the time, here with 3 touch points. Usable enough for some specific games etc. but waiting for real multitouch devices(s) and support in Qt!
Multitouch "simulation" on a resistive touch screen is not very precise as the amount of pressure on each pressure point has an impact on the reported position.
But watching your video gives me the idea that this technique would still be useful for bringing joypad controls on screen. Great work!
hmm, joypad controls.
if that really worked, those emulators would be a whole lot more interesting.
that looks really good.
there has already been multitouch available on n810 for a long time.
These joypad discussions remind me about "analogpad" http://kgronholm.blogspot.com/2008/12/happy-new-year.html
Not sure how usable that would be with real (action) games, but should be doable anyways =)
Anonymous: Ah I have missed that, thanks for the link! Damn liquid/lcuk, he makes us average hackers look so... average ;-)
Kaitsu, you are anything but average, i like seeing the stuff you are playing with in qt :)
I'm guessing for now if you press in the centre of all the dots they light up
your analogpad is already multitouch friendly isnt it? i mean, it can do diagonal presses like a real gamepad and pressing left+right together would cancel themselves out.
btw anonymous, that video does not do justice with what i want multitouch for ;)
happy hacking!
This looks pretty neat, but I imagine (as lcuk pointed out) that this demo worked as well as it did due to the geometry of the touch-points? Even so, pretty cool.
@liquid/lcuk "that video does not do justice with what i want multitouch for ;)":
Are you teasing us, or did you mention something about that elsewhere already? Your liqbase demos are enough to make me drool, but concrete information is lacking...
liquid & ffejery: Thanks! Yes, that's the way demo works, updated post now to show video with "cheat mode" on. So liquid, what's the status with liqbase, haven't seen you blogging about it lately...? =)
Far from average (as Gary says)... This is so cool to see. The possibilities are endless -- even with the input being less than accurate. Exciting! :)
I've been busy with a few little things.
you just haven't been looking in the right places :P
couple of snapshots, not ready just yet and there is much more besides.
quite happy with my coding, making use of things I have developed.
the graffiti wall is now completely merged and has the ability to view sketches/photos/calendar entries (and other things) in the nice wall.
the database I created (over 100mb on device) contains every single sketch/photo/screenshot ever taken and includes full tagging and grouping capabilities. its being hammered into proper shape atm and proper sync is coming (its one way at the moment)
all in all its goin well :)
Tim Samoff: Thanks! I'll wait for real multitouch support into Qt and suitable device(s), then provide r-e-a-l-l-y cool UI's utilizing them. Promise ;-)
liquid: Sounds (and looks) nice! Didn't know you have browser backend in there also, cool! =)

The conclusion of Christopher Nolan's epic Batman trilogy has left a batwing shaped hole in our collective heart. However, a proposed web series could provide us with the Dark Knight fix we need. Producers Dan Petruccio and Mike Lupla have launched an Indiegogo campaign for The Batman Chronicles, which is primed to make use of the bleak, gritty tone set by Nolan's lauded film series.
Thus far, we've only seen a teaser for Batman Chronicles, but the sharp visuals and crisp sound design give the impression of a sterling product. Lupla and Petrucclo are seeking $15,000 to shoot multiple episodes at a high level of production value.
The production team seems like a typical group of film school artistes, while several of the actors (including Petruccio, who plays Batman) are known for their costumed portrayals of Batman characters. You'd be surprised at how many tribute web series are put together by non-specific production companies, and the fact that fans are involved is an immediate plus. Perhaps Batman Chronicles will join Mortal Kombat: Legacy in the land of fan series that play with the big boys.
There's only room for a certain amount of Caped Crusader media in my heart, and College Humor's riotous Badman series currently takes up a large chunk of it. However, there is currently an opening for a serious Batman series, and if Batman Chronicles can scrounge up the requisite funds, the resulting series could be a doozy. You can drop some dough on it right here.

DARIEN, Ga. - A Georgia man convicted in the death of his teenage stepson is demanding a new trial after one of the jurors confessed to sending text messages to the victim's family during the proceedings.
A McIntosh County jury in October convicted Brian Gale of voluntary manslaughter and depriving a minor. His 15-year-old stepson, Daniel Head, was found dead in March 2010 in a swamp where they were scouting for wild turkey.
The Georgia Times-Union reports (bit.ly/UZDOCc) juror Michael Sinclair testified at a hearing Tuesday that he sent text messages to the victim's brother, Christopher Head. One of them said: "Dude. We're doing everything we can."
Defense lawyer Carlton Gibson wants a judge to order a new trial. But prosecutors say there's no evidence the juror discussed details of the case.

Piano sounds are plunky. somewhat like a mirimba or guitar. Any ideas how to edit the sound to be more like an acoustical piano?
It sounds like you have an issue with your sound system setup. I've used similar keyboard amps and portable PAs like Roland and they all performed poorly. They may be tolerable for live and outdoor applications but they suck in the studio. What you need is a descent pair of studio monitors to achieve the sonic clarity you are desiring and the Yamaha S90 ES deserves.

So I walked into PlayNetwork the other morning, and was making my morning tea, when I noticed the overhead was playing some classic jazz – no idea who it was, but I was enjoying it. It kind of struck me that here I was listening to something I was completely unfamiliar with, yet I trusted it was good, and that the next song would probably also be something interesting; I asked myself why I felt this way, and it struck me, it was because I 'trusted my DJ'. I know the music programmers at PlayNetwork don't put together crap, so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt instead of 'changing the station'.
Commercial radio have transformed DJ's into voices, but don't trust them to pick music anymore. What is interesting is that with the tracking capabilities of the 'Personal People Monitors' that are used to track ratings, it has been shown how much people will jump from station to station when they here a song they don't like or are unfamiliar with. If they actually trusted their DJ, would they be so quick to move? If commercial radio empowered their DJ's to be more than voices, and allowed that trust to be rebuilt, would you see as much jumping around? Looking at the success of stations like KEXP and KCRW, which do have real DJ's, I think they would – what do you think?
Do you trust your DJ?

The Washington Post is reporting that CIA officials are leaning on President Obama to green light the expansion of the intelligence agency's fleet of drones. The increasing militarization of the CIA has accelerated its "decade-long transformation into a paramilitary force" according to a government official quoted in the Post article.
CIA Director and retired Gen. David Petraeus (a member of the internationalist Council on Foreign Relations) claims that a beefed up drone presence would help his agents keep up with the "threats in North Africa," a region the government insists is attracting al-Qaeda militants fleeing from the constant barrage of Hellfire missiles fired from drones patrolling the skies over Pakistan and Yemen.
It's not like North Africa hasn't seen its share of drone sorties. On July 24, the Washington Post published an article describing the congestion of the skies over Somalia caused by drone traffic. The situation is so bad, says the Post, that there is a "danger to air traffic" in the area.
An additional problem posed by the proliferation of the unmanned aircraft above the east African nation is that their presence might be evidence of a violation of a 1992 United Nations Security Council arms embargo still in effect.
The article in the Post cites a UN report in which officials of the international body recount several instances where collisions between drones and commercial aircraft or objects on the ground were "narrowly averted." One such incident involved a drone and a passenger plane flying above Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.
The authors of the report of the investigation did not directly implicate the United States. That said, the report indicated that "at least two of the unmanned aircraft appeared to be U.S.-manufactured and suggested that Washington has been less than forthcoming about its drone operations in Somalia."
According to the report, there have been 64 unauthorized drone deployments, fighter jet missions, or attack helicopter flights recorded in Somalia since June 2011. At least 10 of the documented flights involved drones.
While the U.S. military keeps mum about its use of drones around the world, it is known that drones are deployed and launched from American military bases in Djibouti, the Seychelles, and Ethiopia. In fact, in a statement released in June, the Obama administration admitted that it "is engaged in a robust range of operations to target Al-Qaeda and associated forces, including in Somalia." In 2011, the military acknowledged that as part of that operation a drone strike was launched against two suspected leaders of al-Shabaab, an alleged al-Qaeda affiliate based in Somalia. Again, the use of these drones and the firing of missiles at militants seemingly violates the 1992 embargo, as drones carrying Hellfire missiles are inarguably deployed for uses that are "exclusively military," in direct contravention of the terms of the embargo.
The story in the Post indicates that the Pentagon is not bothered by accusations of breaking the embargo. To the contrary, the article claims that the U.S. military intends to deploy additional drones in the region, including the supplying of eight hand-launched Raven drones to Kenyan forces stationed in Somalia as part of the African Union mission.
While the overlords at the UN are aware and approve of the sale of small low-flying drones to the African Union troops, the reports of high-altitude large Predator and Reaper drones are not covered by any exception to the embargo. While the U.S. military should take no orders from the United Nations, it is curious that the global body will deign to permit the United States to supply drones to the armed forces operating under the blue UN flag, while forbidding their use by the American military.
The documented increase in the use of drones in Somalia — many, if not most, of which are believed to belong to the United States — coincides with the missions being carried out in the area by Special Operations units and their CIA cohorts. The Post reports that these operatives "have gradually stepped up secret missions inside Somalia to rescue hostages and hunt for al-Shabaab leaders."
While the leaders of al-Shabaab, al-Qaeda, and other suspected militant groups will undoubtedly be the announced target of the expanded CIA drone fleet (is there any doubt the request will be granted?), figures reported by Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik and research compiled by New York and Stanford Universities, cast serious doubt on the success of these future sorties to eliminate the alleged threat posed by these alleged terrorists.
Last week, reports Digital Journal, Malik said that up to 80 percent of those killed in Pakistan by U.S. drones were innocent civilians.
Further proof of the indiscriminate destruction caused by these drone attacks was provided by data published by the Bureau for Investigative Journalism. According to this London-based advocacy group, there have been at least 350 U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004. Nearly 300 of these have occurred after the inauguration of President Barack Obama. As many as 885 innocent civilians — including 176 children — have been needlessly, summarily, and callously killed in drone strikes ordered by the White House and the CIA.
And as we have reported, the NYU/Stanford report entitled Living Under Drones: Death, Injury and Trauma to Civilians From US Drone Practices in Pakistan contains tragic details of the myriad ways that President Obama's death-by-drone program is devastating the lives of ordinary Pakistanis who have no connection to terror other than the fact that they are being constantly terrorized by the government of the United States.
Information contained in that report indicate that only two percent of drone strikes result in the death of known leaders of terrorist organizations.
What has the United States' drone war wrought? Peace? A reduction in the number of suspected militants formulating plans to attack the United States, its people, or its interests at home or overseas?
Beyond the effect the winnowing of the president's kill list is having on domestic politics in countries in the Middle East, there is a larger threat to American security from blowback.
Blowback is defined as violent counter-attacks carried out as revenge for covert operations.
After a drone attack killed 13 Yemenis by "mistake" in September, relatives of those killed in the strike spoke with the clarity and carelessness that comes from the mixture of mourning with rage.
"You want us to stay quiet while our wives and brothers are being killed for no reason. This attack is the real terrorism," declared Mansoor al-Maweri, whom CNN reports as being "near the scene of the strike."
Then there was this from "an activist" who lives near the site of the September massacre: "I would not be surprised if a hundred tribesmen joined the lines of al Qaeda as a result of the latest drone mistake," said Nasr Abdullah. "This part of Yemen takes revenge very seriously."
Reuters explains that "Western diplomats in Sanaa say al Qaeda is a threat to Yemen and the rest of the world." An argument can be made that a bigger threat to the world is the United States' daily drone attacks that destroy our own dedication to the rule of law and serve as an effective recruiting tool for those seeking revenge for the killings.
The former CIA Pakistan station chief agrees. Speaking of the rapid expansion of the drone war in Yemen, Robert Grenier told the Guardian (U.K.):
That brings you to a place where young men, who are typically armed, are in the same area and may hold these militants in a certain form of high regard. If you strike them indiscriminately you are running the risk of creating a terrific amount of popular anger. They have tribes and clans and large families. Now all of a sudden you have a big problem.... I am very concerned about the creation of a larger terrorist safe haven in Yemen.
We have gone a long way down the road of creating a situation where we are creating more enemies than we are removing from the battlefield. We are already there with regards to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Ultimately, the decision of whether to ship additional drones to the CIA will be made by "a group led by President Obama's counterterrorism adviser, John O. Brennan," according to officials cited in the Washington Post article.
This group is reportedly the same powerful cabal that decides which names get added to the president's infamous "kill list" and how soon those targets are erased from the list by way of a presidential order of summary execution. No charges. No trial. No problem.

For the third December in a row, the identity of Texas' starting quarterback remains a mystery.
At a press conference in San Antonio, UT coach Mack Brown declined Thursday to name either David Ash or Case McCoy as his starter for the Longhorns' Dec. 29 Alamo Bowl matchup against Oregon State.
Ash started the first 11 games of this season, and finished 20th nationally in pass efficiency. But he was ineffective against Oklahoma, Kansas and TCU, and was benched for the regular-season finale against Kansas State. McCoy started that game, but threw two interceptions in a 42-24 loss.

Change Your World
Michael Ungar talks with CTV host Ana Almeida about the self-help industry and his new book Change Your World.
Building Resilience Against Violent Extremism (BRAVE Measure)
The Building Resilience Against Violent Extremism (BRAVE) measure is now available for download. BRAVE is a brief questionnaire tool that can be used to assess risk and protective factors for young people's resilience to violent extremism.
Check out the Child and Youth Refugee Research Coalition
The Child & Youth Refugee Research Coalition is a coalition started by the Resilience Research Centre's Dr. Michael Ungar to connect scholars, community partners and government agencies committed to promoting the successful integration of refugee children, youth and their families. While the Coalition was formed to contribute meaningfully to policies and interventions to facilitate the integration of recently arrived Syrian refugees to Canada, it has a much larger goal of helping all young refugees succeed, both in Canada and around the world.
Jan Höltge - Visiting Scholar
Jan Höltge is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Resilience Research Centre. Jan completed both his Bachelor in Psychology and Master in Environmental, Social and Clinical Psychology at the University of Vienna, Austria. He received his Ph.D. in Clinical and Positive Psychology at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. He has joined the Resilience Research Centre supported by the Early Postdoc. Mobility Scholarship granted by the Swiss National Science Foundation. Jan is passionately interested in how stressful circumstances can have positive effects on human life, especially resilience-enhancement, ranging from daily hassles to traumatic experiences. While taking a lifespan perspective, he has a focus on higher age, the long-term effects of early life stress and the positive effects of collective adversities on social values and behaviors. Additionally, he is interested in how the physical environment contributes to human resilience and wellbeing.

LeTourneau University students, led by senior biology education major Megan Hillmann of Simla, Colo., will lead a new event on campus called "Pray the Loop" at 4 p.m. on Friday, April 13. The event is designed to unite people in prayer around the university's campus loop. Hillmann said she hopes the event will become an annual tradition.
"Pray the Loop is a call to all believers from every facet of LeTourneau University to take just 30 minutes to stand together to pray for God's direction, protection and will to be done at our alma mater so that we can fulfill His will in every area," Hillman said. "We will lay down our worries, stresses, and fears as we pray that the common heart on campus will be to 'Seek ye first the Kingdom of God' before we pursue 'all that will be added unto you.' Whether you are a student, faculty, staff, alumni, trustee, parent, donor and any anyone else who has been touched at all by this wonderful university, we want to see you there!"
Hillmann said that prayer sheets will be available, and she hopes about 1,800 people will completely ring the loop of the university.
LETU President Dr. Dale A. Lunsford applauds the student's initiative.
"This Pray the Loop event is a great example of how our students seek God's direction for themselves and for their university, and it is especially gratifying that this event will focus on our founder's life verse during our homecoming weekend when so many will be back on campus," Lunsford said. "We hope community members who support the university will feel welcome to come participate with us." LETU's homecoming weekend is April 12-14.

LeTourneau University has named Matthew Henry to serve as the new Dean of Innovative Education and as the leader of the LETU's new Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning. As an administrative dean over academic technology, Henry will also serve as the senior academic technology officer, and the leader in quality control of online/blended educational delivery. In his new role, Henry will join LETU's Deans Council and continue to serve on the President's Cabinet.
Henry has served as the head of LETU's Information Technology Department as Chief Information Officer since Aug. 2009. He will continue to serve as CIO, with a shift of some of his former duties to expand the roles of others in IT.
"Matthew's technology expertise, tireless hard work, excellent character and leadership of Information Technology will serve him well in this new role," said LETU Provost Dr. Philip A. Coyle.

He will come alongside our academic deans and faculty to assist with online delivery systems and curriculum designs to enable LETU to richly engage students online and ensure effective learning outcomes.
LETU places the ownership of degree programs, curriculum, instruction, and outcomes under the oversight of faculty who are experts in their fields. The new CITL will support the educational initiatives of LETU faculty, chairs, program directors and deans. Henry's work will insure quality academic programs and delivery of those programs honor the content expertise of the faculty and enable the students to achieve the learning outcomes desired.
Henry will be the lead strategist in leading LETU in the appropriate direction for academic disciplines as related to emerging academic technologies. He will be responsible for the operational budget of nontraditional education and serve as a voice for LETU's Office of the Provost in matters related to nontraditional education.
LETU's new Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning will serve as a hub for nontraditional instruction at LETU in any venue or delivery system, including on-ground, online, and hybrid or blended programming.
Henry will also oversee innovative instructional techniques such as flipped classrooms and problem-based learning. He will also be involved in faculty development and technology training in partnership with the Associate Provost-Dean of Faculty Dr. Steve Mason.
The CITL will be located in the LETU library and will include offices for the Director of Curriculum Design and Technology, the Director of the Learning Resource Center, four Academic Technologists, a Faculty Instructional Videographer, Coordinator of Curriculum and Resources, and the CITL Administrative Assistant.

FileSalvage is an extremely powerful Macintosh application for exploring and recovering deleted files from a drive or volume. FileSalvage is designed to restore files that have:
- Been accidentally deleted.
- Become unreadable due to media faults.
- Been stored on a drive before it was re-initialized/formatted.
Use FileSalvage to recover your lost files, iTunes libraries, iPhoto collections, and to rescue data that has been lost.
FileSalvage is device and file system independent, which means that the user can recover files from a normal Mac OS hard drive, USB key, PC disk, Linux disk, FAT32 disk, FLASH card, scratched CD, Digital Cameras, iPods, and almost any other media or file system that can be recognized in Mac OS X.
FileSalvage also supports the ability to process disk images. This means that defense attorney's, law enforcement and corporate agencies can now access EnCase® (unencrypted images only), Unix DDM and CopyCatX image file systems without purchasing expensive computer forensics software.
And so, even with its advanced features and performance, FileSalvage is extremely straightforward to handle. The easy-to-use interface is designed with any level of OS X user in mind and is highly accessible to all, with the potential completion of the whole recovery process in just a few clicks.
SubRosaSoft.com Inc. also offers special versions of their file recovery product that recover specific types of data:
- PodSalvage - Rescue lost music from your iPod or storage media.
- CameraSalvage - Get back lost pictures and photos from your digital camera.
- OfficeSalvage - Recover lost or deleted office files.
CopyCatX allows you to create exact duplicates of your hard drive, Apple iPod, or Mac OS X startup drive. CopyCatX is the fastest way to duplicate devices in most formats on your Apple Macintosh computer.
The fastest software duplication system for Mac OS X. CopyCatX is extremely fast. It works on drives that other systems cannot recover by using our proprietary resumable/fault tolerant algorithms.
Backups include every single detail of the original including permissions, icons, placement, and content.
Unlike most backup programs which copy file-by-file, CopyCatX utilizes a method called device copying. Device copying enables you to retain every detail of the original volume. It's a lot faster than the traditional method of backing up file-by-file. When duplicating a volume, CopyCatX is smart enough to skip all the blank space of a drive during the copying process to further improve the speed.
VolumeWorks is an extremely powerful OS X software application for managing the partitions on your hard drive. VolumeWorks is designed to allow the end user the ability to:
- Rebuild a partition table
- Add partitions to a device
- Hide partitions
- Shift partitions
- Resize partitions

DasBoot Do you have a shiny new flash drive, or multi use storage device in your pocket ? Now you can turn it into a Mac OS X diagnostic, repair, and maintenance tool. DasBoot allows you to take any third party boot CD (such as those shipped by SubRosaSoft.com Inc, Prosoft Engineering Inc, Alsoft Inc, or Micromat Inc) and quickly create a bootable diagnostic device that contains any of your own utilities you may wish to install.
You can use your device to boot and repair Mac OS X computers* as needed without erasing it and taking away your ability to use it for other purposes such as playing music, or watching videos. With the help of DasBoot™ you get to carry all the tools you'll need with you. But unlike expensive third party alternatives, you'll have plenty of space left over in case you need to recover data.
DasBoot™ devices run software much faster than a CD/DVD repair disk. In addition you can re-configure the device at any time to add new utilities, updated versions of software or newer versions of Mac OS X.
MusicRenamer is Mac OS X software to quickly and easily rename large numbers of music files. MusicRenamer is a powerful mp3 file renaming tool. It helps to avoid spending hours of hard boring manual editing of mp3 filenames. You will rename your mp3 filenames easier and faster and...you'll see your mp3 list with consistent order in filenames. The renamer converts easily any rare and strange filename to a simple format containing the album name, track number, artist and title. You will be asked to select a folder that contains MP3, AAC, M4A, or M4P files. These files will be renamed based on the ID3 tags contained within them. If no ID3 tags are found the filename will be left unaltered.
NetSpeedometer allows you to graphically monitor the speed of your internet connection. NetSpeedometer shows a graphic of your traffic speeds on your Apple Macintosh screen to help you keep track of data as it goes in and out of your machine. Free to download and distribute.
NetSpeedometer is Mac OS X software to expand part of your view for a closer look. NetSpeedometer shows a magnified section of your Apple Macintosh screen to help viewing up close. Free to download and distribute.
SubRosaSoft's NetSpeedometer displays a magnified portion of your screen in a separate window. Originally designed as a helper application to assist the visually impaired - it has become an ideal tool for Mac graphic design professionals who need pixel perfect placement and control.
It allows variable zooming, and variable speed refresh. This ability is helpful for the visually impaired and is almost essential for precision work in graphics design programs.
Screenboard allows the user to share their view with other users over the internet using Screenboard and the "Web Sharing" capability built into your Apple Macintosh Computer.
SubRosaSoft's Screenboard lets others on your network watch your screen in a web browser. Ideal for labs, demonstrations, conferences, presentations, and any time you want to show others what you are doing.
You can select how often you want it and Screenboard will save a screenshot (in jpeg format) and a web page (in html format) to the folder of your choice. If you select to save the files into your built in personal web server folder - users on your network (or internet) can view your screen in their web browser.

Silly? Yes, at times. Poor Audio? It could be better, sure. (sorry Sheila). Off contrant? If I knew what that meant, I might be offended. ( But I certainly get your drift.) I get comments from those who love our style and those who do not. I think it's all in how different people are tuning in for different reasons with different expectations. Our style is not for everyone. I'm sure you'd enjoy part two much more than one, though you might just be happier with the Podcasts from Joe and John. They are highly informative and direct, like a classroom lecture.
Frank, your point about sealing the attic before you insulate is highly important!! I wish we had said something to that effect in this podcast. I am very thankful for this forum and for people like you who chime in to contribute. Seriously, I thank you very much for that.
Phil and I are just architects doing what a lot of you do every day, we are not professional teachers or radio personalities. (I have become so impressed with public speakers who never utter a single "um", or "you know") We discuss what we want to talk about, we make an outline, we get together, make a cocktail, and hit record. I appreciate you giving us a listen all the same.
