These are a few weeks old but I couldn’t be bothered posting at the time. Now I’m trying to work through older tabs..

IBM’s ‘Seer’ Brings Augmented Reality to Wimbledon “Everything from tennis matches to dining and points of interest will be plotted using the combination of GPS, camera, compass. Users get a ‘heads up display’ to so they can see exactly what it is they are looking at. One added feature that other AR apps don’t use is tying in live data. For instance if you point your G1 towards a tennis court, users not only get basic information like the court number, but also details about the current and subsequent matches.”

and

TwittARound - augmented reality Twitter viewer on the iPhone “It shows live tweets around your loca­tion on the hori­zon. Because of video see-through effect you see where the tweet comes from and how far it is away.”

elevated - a stunning 4 kilobyte demo released in April of this year. I wish this computer could play HD video. 4 friggin K! The app uses Perlin noise procedural textures (a more detailed explanation here) among other things to get it that small.

Also from April, Excelence, done in Excel.

And, again, the fantastically psychedelic palindromeda suger, not for epileptics. The switchback occurs at 2:00.

That and a couple of my older favourites by tpolm; the sorrowful Staying Pictures and the eerie tomthumb.

After salvaging a fairly new mobo, ram and hdd from a mini-tower I found abandoned next to a recycling bin a couple of weeks ago, I’m looking to put together a firewall/gateway/misc server box for kicks and educational purposes.

After a Wikipedia/Google trawl, the options I’ve come up with for a suitable set-up are Endian, eBox Platform , SME Server and pfSense.

I’m wondering if anyone has comments on these or alternative suggestions? Thanks!

I’ve just shifted all my piccies from Google Picasa Web to Flickr using Migratr (which can migrate between multiple services). Bah, I’m sure I’ll be bothered to sort titles and descriptions at some point.

“The term ?warwalking? isn?t used very often, but the Ekahau HeatMapper adds a new tool to the pod bound hacker?s arsenal. The tool maps out wireless access points as well as their signal strength within a facility. A test of the HeatMapper on a map made with AutoDesk Dragonfly accurately determined the location of a router within 3 feet and helped tune the angle it needed to be at for maximum range.” link

Love the advert.

also

Track the strength of received signal in dBm over time. Filter access points in an easy to use format. Highlight access points for areas with high Wi-Fi concentration.” link

Anyone got similar software tool recommendations?

Also, need to try make me one of these soon..

Open source SingStar clone + some of these + maybe those + requisite hard drive space = wai nice!

Has anyone tried Auto Gordian Knot for DVD ripping? I’m [again] looking for an elegant DVD to MKV on the back of reading this /. post. Uh, not that I have the space to actually try it out right now..
