Windows users can crash in non-Windows situations too

Didn’t have time to get any photos (or have my camera in the car) but a Windows user last night almost crashed and did make my day.

MY L33T HAXXOR CH1LD OWN3S YOUR HONNA STUDENTZ WINDOZE BOX I have a sign in the back window of my car, along the bottom edge where people like to put stickers announcing the academic success of their offspring, except that it says something like the pictured bumper sticker.

As I cruised past a chap in screensaver mode and wearing “MSCP###” on his number plate (where ### is some random number), his numbed after-work gaze travelled across to my rear window, then stopped. Presently, he frowned. Then the penny dropped and the lights came on inside. He started laughing. And laughing. And laughing. And drove across the lane markers (“brrrump, brrrump, brrrump”) a couple of times, scaring the lady behind me into driving all scribbley herself and slowing down to leave an empty spot next to him. He was still laughing when he exited.

I guess it made his day, too.

new life for an old (FTX) PSU, improved life for one human

the LEDs on this 5m strip happen to emit light centred on a red that does unexpectedly helpful things to (and surprisingly deeply within) a human routinely exposed to it. it has been soldered to a Molex connector, plugged into a TFX power supply from a (retired: the MoBo is cactus) Small Form Factor PC, the assorted PSU connectors (and loose end from the strip) have been taped over. the LED strip cost $10.24 including postage, the rest cost $0, the PSU is running at 12½% of capacity, consumes less power than a laptop plug-pack despite running a fan. trial runs begin today.

I have a LibreOffice Impress slideshow that I wish to turn into a narrated video. 1. export the slideshow as PNG images (if that is partially broken — as at now — at higher resolutions, Export Directly as PDF then use ‘pdftoppm’ (from the poppler-utils package) to do the same). 2. write a small C program (63 lines including comments) to display those images one at a time, writing a config file entry for Imagination (default transition: ‘cross fade’) based on when the image-viewer application (‘display,’ from the GraphicsMagick suite) is closed on each one; run that, read each image aloud, then close each image in turn. 3. run ‘Imagination’ over the config file to produce a silent MP4 video with the correct timings. 4. run ‘Audacity’ to record speech while using ‘SMPlayer’ to display the silent video, then export that recording as a WAV file. 4a. optionally, use ‘TiMIDIty’ to convert a non-copyright-encumbered MIDI tune to WAV, then import that and blend it with the speech (as a quiet b...

boundaries

pushing the actual boundaries of the physical (not extremes, the boundaries themselves) can often remove barriers not otherwise perceived. one can then often resolve an issue itself, rather than merely stonewalling at the physical consequences of the issue.
