“You don’t need a lot of stuff to make a shot. You don’t need lights and tripods. Just look at your subject, look at the light and shoot. You don’t need to take a thousand pictures to get a good picture. You need one good picture. One shot." “Most photographers don’t have a good picture of themselves,” he explained. “They think nobody can take as good a picture as they can. So, I prove them wrong. There’s good money there.” I want my photo taken! --dmg Sunday, January 3. 2010Saturday, January 2. 2010Xournal: Opening evince on the same page and org remember support
My latest modification to xournal is the ability to open the same PDF in evince, and a menu option to open the same PDF (when annotating one) in Evince. This way you can cut and paste text from the PDF (a feature that does not exist in xournal).
Available in my fork of xournal: http://github.com/dmgerman/xournal --dmg Saturday, January 2. 2010As if she heard me...
A day after I claimed I did not align with her reviews, she offers a piece that exudes her love for the medium, and I could not agree more.
I rarely go to the movies these days, but out of the last 4 times I did, 2 were to see Batman in Imax, and one to see Avatar in 3d (the last one to see Coraline in 3D, plus one attempt at the Imax to see Star Trek, but it was sold-out). I soo much wish one day to see Avatar in 3d in Imax. Our movie theaters are too small to properly cover my field of view (the old rule of the width of the view should be twice my distance to the screen). Avatar will be shown in iMax in Victoria, but I don't think with 3D. I'll have to check... --dmg Saturday, January 2. 2010Paper #2010:001 How NOT to review a paper.
How NOT to review a paper: the tools and techniques of the adversarial reviewer
is an entertaining paper that invites for self reflection. A must-read for anybody who has to review a paper in computer science. --dmg Saturday, January 2. 2010Friday, January 1. 2010Knuth Cheques
This is old news... but new to me...
Being the owner of one of Donald Knuth's cheques, I am sadden by the fact that he no longer writes real ones. They are not replaced by a digital certificate and a fake cheque.. His cheque is without question my geekiest memento. Yes, mine is framed. -dmg Friday, January 1. 2010Why org-protocol does not work under Ubuntu 9.10
If you are trying to get org-protocol to work under Ubuntu, the instructions will not work.
if you have tried to enable org-protocol under Firefox you might run into the issue that firefox does not start emacsclient, no matter what the about:config variables say. After spending some time I discovered that this is an issue of Firefox's integration with Gnome. What you need is to tell Gnome that you have a new URI protocol called org-protocol, and that emacsclient is responsible for it. This is done with the following two commands (be careful to indicate the correct full path of emacsclient): gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/org-protocol/command -t string '/usr/bin/emacsclient %s' gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/org-protocol/enabled -t boolean true --dmg Friday, January 1. 2010Monday, December 14. 2009Sunday, December 13. 2009Sunday, December 13. 2009 |
