Digital Ocean vs Atlantic.net: Some simple (and simplistic) benchmarks
https://emergent.unpythonic.net/01412172608
Digital Ocean vs Atlantic.net: Some simple (and simplistic) benchmarks. Newer: Halls Gap Zoo. A few months ago I moved most of my web presence to Digital Ocean. With the cheapest instance costing $5 a month, this beat my former provider dreamhost.com (at about $9 a month for shared hosting), while offering much better performance. My Digital Ocean instance is in the nyc2 region, and my Atlantic.net instance is in the USA-Central-1 region. I ran tests from each cloud server as well as from windstr...While...

LinuxCNC at TXRX Labs
https://emergent.unpythonic.net/01414165219
LinuxCNC at TXRX Labs. Newer: Great Ocean Road. Older: Sprint recompression of JPEG files. This past week, TXRX Labs. Of Houston opened its doors to LinuxCNC users and developers. I was there from Friday to Tuesday, and enjoyed the time talking to fellow users and developers. Seb volunteered to be the release manager for 2.7, we accepted his offer, and he created the 2.7 branch, which should now be considered to be in a stabalization phase. On the social side, it was fun to hang out with fellow LinuxCNC ...

Maria Island
https://emergent.unpythonic.net/01421163790
Newer: Cheating at incremental games using angularjs. Older: One year in a Prius. We spent one of our last days at Maria Island, just off the east coast of Tasmania. It was a beautiful, uninhabited island, with tons of amazing scenery. I've narrowed down our pictures to a few of the best. Iron stained sandstone on Maria Island. Ingrid exploring the rocks. Snails attached to the rocks. Looking back at the forest on the island. All kinds of neat stuff in here. Waratah Anemone (closed up).

In October and November 2012, we honeymooned in Australia, visiting Queensland, Victoria, and Tasmaia; we also took brief trips into New South Wales and South Australia. We took 8446 photos in all (mostly on Jeff's camera), but we've trid to be reserved in the number we put online. Jeff and Ingrid, December 2012. 25 March 2013, 1:52 UTC. Sandstone carved by the sea and colored with iron. 18 March 2013, 1:51 UTC. First Half of Tasmania. Water droplets in the Tasmanian temperate rain forest. The Great Ocea...

Cheating at incremental games using angularjs
https://emergent.unpythonic.net/01424374319
Cheating at incremental games using angularjs. Newer: Hazelnut Coffee and Hazelnut-Sunflower-Chocolate Butter. I don't know a thing about javascript frameworks, but I like to cheat at incremental games. So it's frustrating when a game is made with some framework that seems to leave everything inaccessible. (I think this is more about the framework trying to be hygenic than anti-cheating). So I was happy to learn enough about angularjs to cheat at my favorite incremental game of the moment, Swarm Simulator.

The most recent 25 photos from my blog. Truetype-tracer linuxcnc in vector outline. From NEJE ROSH 300mW laser engraver with LinuxCNC. Sierpinski gasket in paper, 3 levels, triangles fully cut out in vector mode. Looks like I could have achieved 4 levels. Not sure why bottom left triangle is stunted, possibly due to being at end of travel for the axis, possibly due to backlash. From NEJE ROSH 300mW laser engraver with LinuxCNC. First recognizable dithered image test. Test with GRBL firmware. Unsuccessful...

Newer: Digital Ocean vs Atlantic.net: Some simple (and simplistic) benchmarks. Older: Odroid U3 with kernel 3.8.13.14-rt31. We took a lovely cruise on the Murray River, between the border of Victoria and New South Wales, courtesy of Kingfisher Cruises. It was a fun trip exploring a shallow river area with a wide mix of birds. Pomegrante tree in bloom. Plague soldier beetle on orange blossoms. Orange ready to eat!

One year in a Prius
https://emergent.unpythonic.net/01420206916
One year in a Prius. Older: First Half of Tasmania. We got our 2013 Prius just about a year ago, and I ran TRIP A without resetting it for that whole first year. Here are the final numbers:. For everyone not still suffering under the tyrrany of imperial measures, 44.4mpg is around 5.3l/100km and the distance driven is about 12000km. 260 hours total driving time. 43 minutes driving time per day. 21 average miles a day (33km). 170 gallons of fuel (640l). 2/3 gallon per hour of driving (2.4l/hour).
