The Coffee machine on Twitter - flash and physical computing

by karlcow

This is an overview of the hardware/software/services I used:

Sensor > Arduino > Processing > PHP > Twitter

A LDR (light dependent resistor) is glued on the on/off led of the coffeemachine. When the coffeemachine is switched on the led turns on, the ldr detects this light. This LDR is connected to an Arduino microcontroller, Processing reads the value from the Arduino using Firmata and Processing sends this to a php file which will send it to Twitter.

Paul Ramsey: OpenStreetMap moves to PostgreSQL

by karlcow

The speedy success of the hardware appeal (target reached in less than three days) was pretty impressive, but what really perked my (PostgreSQL fanboi) ears up was the news that the new hardware was going to run PostgreSQL, instead of the MySQL database OSM has used from the start. As of April 19, OSM is running their new API live on PostgreSQL.

Tech Your Universe » PHP vs Java vs C/C for web applications

by kasi77
For the other 99.9% of web applications, scripting languages or C/C is a better choice, and the complexity that Java introduces is despicable, and in my opinion, making the choice for Java is doing a disservice to your company in terms of cost (both development time and hardware).

Vega - Opera's vector graphics library - By Opera Core Concerns

by karlcow

Vega was created shortly after we started working on SVG support. When we added SVG support in Opera we needed a vector graphics library. We looked into what what available to use and met our requirements (fast, low memory usage and works on platforms ranging from phones to TVs and desktop computers). We did not find and good match for our needs, so we decided to write our own.

Shortly after we created Vega we added <canvas> support, which also uses Vega.

The most recent addition to Vega is the ability to use a hardware accelerated back-end. The back-ends we are using at the moment are OpenGL and Direct3D.
