Spezify

by gregg & 1 other
Spezify is a search tool presenting results from a large number of websites in different visual ways. We take web search further, away from endless lists of blue text links and towards a more intuitive experience. We want you to get a good overview of a subject, find useful information and be inspired with Spezify. We mix all media types and make no difference between blogs, videos, microblogs and images. Everything communicates and helps building the bigger picture.

moominstuff: Polaroid 110A covertomation. Convertomizing. Okay, just conversion.

by karlcow

I chose to use a 110A because I got a good deal on eBay. 110Bs are the most popular just because they have a couple minor improvements over the 110A. Some people convert the 'lesser' models as well. Here is my 150 next to my 110A. See the obvious difference in the lens quality.

Installing APC in Windows - MoodleDocs

by holyver (via)
APC (Alternative PHP Cache) is a PHP opcode cache. It stores PHP pages in RAM and reduces hard disk activity. This makes a real difference to the performance in Moodle, and you should be able to achieve a 50% increase in system capacity and your CPU will be 50% less busy. This guide is for installation of APC on a Windows server. The instructions have been tested on a Windows 2003 server, and they should also be applicable if you are using Windows XP as a test server.

OneSwarm: Privacy preserving P2P

by gregg & 3 others
OneSwarm is an interesting new software technology coming from University of Washington. It’s a whole new peer-to-peer technology (like bittorrent) with the big difference that it’s completely anonymous. It will be interesting to follow the development of this new piece of software, but the usage of it will probably explode within the next year or so. The client is available for Mac OS X, XP, Vista and Linux - and the source code is open.

jquery.scrollable 1.0.1 - Make your HTML elements move

by Tiagut & 4 others
The purpose of this tool is to provide generic scrolling capability to your pages. Anytime you want to scroll your HTML elements in a visually appealing way you should use this tool. The difference between "normal" scrolling is that you don't have browser's default scrollbars available and you can perform scrolling in more sophisticated ways like on the above example. The main goals are visual customization and programmability. Here are some example cases where you will definitely benefit on using this tool

Decisions vs. Choices

The difference between choices and decisions is subtle , some of it has to do with the quality of your ingredients and some of it has to do with compromise at the wrong stage of development. Is the process all that matters? A process that is used to constantly create new possible options and choose from those instead of making Frankenstein out of the options given? The design process will constantly emphasize the goal in the iteration of options leading to a choice. I don’t think that definition clear, but it’s the best we came up with.

Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. ... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good." Je me roule de bonheur par terre là même si ça ne se voit pas :D

click opera - Song of the fields

by karlcow

If the Guardian's Apocalypse Survival Guide models a return to the land on a dystopian Hobbesian-Hollywood model of selfishness and violence, Hatake No Uta goes completely the other way. Here, survival in the countryside is a matter of semi-religious respect for nature, love of food, poetry, gentleness, wholesomeness, teamwork, beautiful scenery, simple, heart-warming people, something utopian. Now, sure, I wouldn't know country life if it bit me on the nose. But I do recognise cultural difference when I see it.

et surtout

I welcome there being cultural differences in the ways we respond to the current crisis, because differences mean choices.

Workshop Lahti 2009 » FINAL DAY: And yet… it works!

by karlcow

I find this extremely fascinating. In a way, the Japanese are looking at these products like pieces of abstract art. On the other hand, if you understand English and especially it’s cultural connotations, there is a good chance that these will look funny to you. In today’s visually over-saturated world, various brands compete in trying to produce striking graphics to influence the consumers. But free trade and competition in today’s global economy has made many of the products essentially the same in content. So in some cases, the only difference with those products is the packaging, or the form.

Zend Framework: Documentation

For year there are two specifiers available which are often mistaken. The Y specifier for the ISO year and the y specifier for the real year. The difference is small but significant. Y calculates the ISO year, which is often used for calendar formats. See for example the 31. December 2007. The real year is 2007, but it is the first day of the first week in the week 1 of the year 2008. So, if you are using 'dd.MM.yyyy' you will get '31.December.2007' but if you use 'dd.MM.YYYY' you will get '31.December.2008'. As you see this is no bug but a expected behaviour depending on the used specifiers.

Flutter : WordPress CMS Plugin by Freshout

by delavigne (via)
Flutter is a plugin that allows you to create and manage custom "Write Panels." One of the big difference between a blog and a CMS is the higher control of content types. By default, WordPress supports Posts and Pages. With Flutter, you can edit how you enter data, so not only would you have Posts and Pages, you could have Downloads, Events, and Quotes.

Setting Up Master-Master Replication On Four Nodes With MySQL 5 On Debian Etch | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

by camel & 1 other (via)
This tutorial explains how you can set up MySQL master-master replication on four MySQL nodes (running on Debian Etch). The difference to a two node master-master replication (which is explained here) is that if you have more than two nodes, the replication goes in a circle, i.e., with four nodes, the replication goes from node1 to node2, from node2 to node3, from node3 to node4, and from node4 to node1. Since version 5, MySQL comes with built-in support for master-master replication, solving the problem that can happen with self-generated keys. In former MySQL versions, the problem with master-master replication was that conflicts arose immediately if node A and node B both inserted an auto-incrementing key on the same table. The advantages of master-master replication over the traditional master-slave replication are that you don't have to modify your applications to make write accesses only to the master, and that it is easier to provide high-availability because if the master fails, you still have the other master.

XEN Cluster HowTo

by camel
I have tried to run both Debian Etch and Ubuntu 8.04 Server on the cluster nodes, in Dom0. I started my tests with Debian, but I had some issues with slow samba performance in one VM that I couldn't fix so I decided to try Ubuntu Server, for the first time. Both installation went OK, the main difference was that I used mainly source code in Debian, but only packages in Ubuntu. I actually ran into more problems with Ubuntu due to some early bugs in the 8.04 release, will describe them below as I go along. And I have still to prove that running this setup in Ubuntu is stable.

Security, Crypto, and Random Topics - there's whitelisting, and then there's whitelisting

It's been clear for some time that blacklisting the "bad" apps was a losing battle.

One big difference: on Wiki the new, corrected edition, is just minutes away. What it means: the idea of full-of-crap wiki systems is dead. Fact is: due to its contributive structure, Wikipedia is a fairly accurate tool.

Faut pas pousser mémé dans les orties non plus. Tout ce que cela signifie est que Wikipedia est aussi précis que le dernier admin qui aura bloqué la page pendant une guerre d'édition. La seule conclusion à en tirer est qu'on ne devrait jamais lire une page Wikipédia sans lire la page de discussion associée.
