How would you mount your projector? Driling some holes in the walls? Buying some ugly docking stations and again driling the walls or living room ceiling? I came to simple solution by playing with the regular tripod and two monopods:

1. stable.
2. portable.
3. ajustable.
4. durable & resistant even to the golder retriever tail movements

p.s. In my family there’s no place for TV. And we keep this status for about 3 years.

There’s a metrics based on which you can make a decision about the person occupation. You can tell from this metrics is the person is overloaded or he has some free time to make some entertainment activities such as RSS digging.
Let’s take an example my RSS reading trends:

There’s was some rss reading blackouts which were related to the travel days and there’s few past rss reading blackouts days which are related to the busy days. Show me your RSS reading trends and I will tell you about your past

Instead of eureka I would say CONKY!
I have search for sys monitor tool for ubuntu.
Very simple, very stable with low load on CPU (~0.5%) and lots of configuration possibilities. There’s a Conky markup language for your configuration, but also you can write your monitors with python or awk.
Check is out at: http://conky.sourceforge.net/

“<...>Conky is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, that displays any information on your desktop. Conky is licensed under the GPL and runs on Linux and BSD.”

And some examples from the net to be clear what can be configured with this tool:

How to setup your iPhone camera to stream the video through the livestream.com?

It’s easy if you have a
1. jailbroken iPhone
2. installed veency (vnc server for iPhone)
3. VNC viewer at your streaming box
4. any iPhone app which has live view capture (let’s say Camera)
5. an account at livestream.com
6. livestream.com “Procaster” app
7. wifi router or adhoc wifi network between the iPhone and your streaming box.

livestream.com & iPhone camera from gadominas-trash on Vimeo.

If you have all this then you’re ready to go. Connect your iPhone to local wifi network. Open a vnc session from you streaming box (laptop or whatever). Start the iPhone app which supports live capture and start the Procaster as a remote screen streamer. Ajust the streaming area to fit the vnc screen and you’re LIVE with the portable video camera for live streaming to livestreamer.com. Veency is not so fast to get more than 5fps to your streaming box.

Good job – Nesnausk!

Yesterday (07/08) google announced about a yet another new toy “gOS – Google Chrome OS”. But I’m not about this news isself, but how it was published through the most famous dev news portals. InfoQ was a first with in on this deal with the “re-typed” fiction without any fresh idea on this from InfoQ itself. The whole article was copied-retyped from googleblogspot performing some smart “phrase-find-replace”.
Then was a TheServerside.com with the same new. The content is much more informative. The link to the original google blogpost and that’s all, without any smart fiction on it.
From the comment perspective, TheServerSide has ~15 comments (until 07/09) and 6 comments at InfoQ for the same new item. The comments at ServerSide looks much more …
