Building a led cube is one of those many awesome things to do when you get hands on arduino kit; I found a few tutorials explaining how to make those led cubes; however every extra dimension brings extra problems; so I think the best way to start building a large cube with no real experience is to start small; way small; In fact so small you don’t need allot extra beside a small arduino kit!

On ubuntu and variants :  (check version of python)

sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev

On fedora and variants :

sudo yum install python-devel

thx interwebz!

I assumed someone had done this before, but google couldn’t find it, so here you go; a quick how-to. Its easy to have ssh inside your favorite editor, like me, I work under SVN so I don’t need an FTP, I need a linux console !

1. download this notepad++ plugin : console plugin
2. install it & restart notepad++
3. download plink.exe (console based putty) : plink.exe
4. download ansicon.exe (translates the ANSI code from linux to windows readable shizzle)
5. fire up notepad++ and start the console, you should see the cmd boxed in your screen
6. run the command “ansicon.exe plink.exe -ssh user@location -pw yourpasword”
7. have fun !

here a screen of my favorite editor, running a console in it.

tar xvfz blablaba.tar.gz

The magic of extracting a .tar.gz file

The crap of having to extract a .bz2 file

gunzip filename.gz

The weird fact that this is not a tar, but a gunzipped file

unrar x fasta.rar

unrar’ring

svn –force delete _directory_

First its name, it reminds me on THC the psychoactive drug in cannabis, but that might just be me switching letters. On the other hand you can also pronounce it a “tickle”, however when I say tickle my brain connects it to “Tickeling” which makes no sense. Then again saying you work in “Tickling” makes people think you work with children. In short, its a horrible name for me. Second, is based on the experience I had so far.

I was  looking for the sequence (/genome) of Arabidopsis Thaliana, googled way to long to use the wrong resource after all; next time use :

ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/Arabidopsis_thaliana/

Fair enough: “Idiot”

This is a fair source anyways : ftp://ftp.arabidopsis.org/home/tair/Sequences/whole_chromosomes/

Op zoek naar een goeie serie ? must see : The Wire

Een kritische politie serie, die beide kanten van het plaatje toont.  Vergelijkbaar met The Shield maar beter, minder echt geweld, meer realiteit.

Already seen the latest version of windows 8 ? Check this video. Then compare to this one. However I had horrible days using Linux in the past, I still hope :

- Windows 8 makes a huge last-minute design turnover.

- user-friendly Linux distro’s use this opportunity to make a solid, easy-to-use system.

Dear ubuntu community, your OS rocked in the past. There is no doubt about that, but somewhere along the way. You lost the coolness it had. It still looks nice, but the amount of hours I have lost, using Ubuntu, is so big, I cannot longer hold tong about it. On this page I will drop my issues, not the ones that are normal using a computer, but the ones that need better support.
