Bleurgh.

“Dear Diary” — feel impelled to confess that I’m mainly typing this as a cranking-over exercise for my brain this morning rather than from my normal drive to randomise other people’s brains.

Did a presentation for the PLUG crew last night at the OpenSource WA venue (called “The Crimson Panacea” [link coming after I fire up my lapatop] and co-starring a red sapphire) and shouldn’t have. A big problem with burning the candle at both ends is that sooner or later the flames meet in the middle.

If you’re a Sandgroper and haven’t visited the OSWA centre yet, do. Director Kevin Russell and manager Phill Twiss are happy to provide rooms, power, networking and access to scores of computers to practically anyone who is pushing hte Open SOurce agenda in Western Australia.

OSWA also have a pair of shiny new projectors, one of which I broke in last night. Only 1024x768 but incredibly crisp for all of that. And a portable PA. And a really well fitted-out kitchen, dishwasher and all (and almost enough dishes to fill it). Oops — I can feel an urge to ramble on overtaking me, so ciao for now!

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.

every-application-is-part-of-a-toolkit at work

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.
