Setting Up Name Based Virtual Hosting on Ubuntu Server. If you've enjoyed this blog, please consider picking up a copy of my Ubuntu book, Instant Ubuntu. Thanks for visiting! I do apologize again for some of the recent downtime on the blog. I’ve been researching tuning options all evening to try to bring the memory consumption lower. I did also add an additionl 256M RAM to the machine hoping that will help. Thanks for the patience during this bumpy ride. I wanted to put down some of my notes concerning configuring Apache2 with virtual hosts for hosting multiple sites.
Installing Apache 2 I’ll be discussing name based virtual hosting with Apache (Apache 2 to be specific). Sudo aptitude install apache2 Once these are setup you should be able to connect to localhost in your browser and see a test page. NameVirtualHost With the default configuration you are only serving up one site, and that site is based on your IP address. My preferred method of using name based virtual hosting is creating a seperate file for each domain. Testing Conclusion. DIY. R/HowTo.

Video What is Photoshop CC? With the release of Photoshop CC (here in the middle of 2013), Adobe has decided that they will no longer sell their software, instead opting to rent it to those who wish to use it. (I’ll avoid all the technical jargon about perpetual licenses, etc…) Bottom line is, if you want to upgrade past your current version of Photoshop anytime in the foreseeable future, you will have to pay-per-month to have access to Photoshop.
Things could get hairy if I can’t kick my $60 a month addiction to McDonald’s McNuggets. Darn. Alas, My Paint Brush! The crux of my objection with the new CC model has nothing to do with the price (although CC is more expensive-I’ll get to that), but rather with the fact that I can’t purchase and own my tools. Not only am I no longer able to own my tools, but if I can’t pay ‘rent’ on those tools, I lose the tools and I also lose access to the files created by that set of tools. We own the artwork which we’ve created in Photoshop.

If you can think of a device, someone has probably found a way to control it with Bluetooth. This hack is a little different, though. Kai Aras put together a simple guide to adding Bluetooth to just about anything with an infrared receiver. In the video below, you can see him take pictures with his DSLR via Bluetooth using his iPhone and MetaWatch smartwatch. It's actually really easy to do. Kai attached an infrared LED to a Bluetooth headset through the audio output, then mounted the headset to the camera with the LED turned towards camera's infrared receiver. When he has his iPhone play an audio file through the headset, it uses the LED to convert the signal to infrared, which triggers the shutter release.
Check out the video above to see the trick in action, and you can find more details on Kai's blog. Processes How-To. Instructions and recipes on how to work in alternative photographic processes and non-silver techniques. Instructions are provided by photographers and teachers working in the process, written with a practical approach, so; enjoy learning a new process. Have fun! If you are new a good starting point is the cyanotype process and if you want an environmetally friendly process start with anthotypes.

LightScythe - The Mechatronics Guy.
Battery power is provided from a 6V SLA battery, which is able to power the strip directly without regulation. Parts list (Per scythe): Software: Arduino code: The arduino code is quite simple. The use of the ‘M’ allows for easy synchronisation with the start of the colum, as well as allowing future codes using other letters.
To aid in triggering, there’s a button on each scythe controller that sends a serial ‘1’ or ‘2’ (depending on scythe number) to the PC. To prevent the battery from being drained excessively, there’s a snippet of code to check the voltage (via a 2:1 voltage divider and analog in pin), and flash the top 3 LEDs red to let the user know it’s time to charge. There’s also a potentiometer on each control box, which I might use in future code to add demo modes, etc. to the firmware. Xbee setup: The Xbee module setup is quite minimal for this application. Other people have used custom bootloaders more amenable to wireless links, but I decided not to bother.

Introduction The following project describes how to hack an IKEA DIODER RGB Led Strip to add a WiFi connectivity and access to an internal Web Server for configuring colors using low budget solutions! The hack utilizes an openPicus Flyport WiFi module and a Proto NEST expansion board, enabling RGB color selection through a Web page.
The selection of the various color values is done within a Web page using a Color Picker The Concept The concept is to replace the RGB controller “intelligence”, with our own microcontroller firmware. For this purpose the Flyport WiFi module has been used. The List of Materials The Build Process Step 1 First of all, you have to remove the microcontroller inside the RGB controller of the IKEA DIODER Controller. These sub-steps will help you perform the removal of the components easier: n this way we can use 3 PWMs to control the 3 different colors brightness from our microcontroller. Step 2 Next comes the Proto Nest connection. The Software DOWNLOAD project source cod. Top 5 Web Design Mistakes Small Businesses Make. If you're a small business owner, your website is the central hub of your company, and it's a pivotal part of your marketing and branding. April 05, 2011 Potential customers visit your site specifically for its content—its appearance and usability are critical to its success and how those users view your company.
Getting your Web design wrong can have a very negative impact on your business. Here are five common design mistakes to avoid in order to create a great user experience and grow your bottom line. 1.

Website navigation affects usability and accessibility, so make it a primary concern. 2. 3. 4. 5.
How To: Remote Control Your Home Computer From Anywhere With VNC. Use Your Wii as a Media Center. I have the orb working on my PC -> Wii setup. Overall, I am very unhappy with the whole thing. Here's my list: As many have already stated, the video playback in the Opera Web Channel is horrible; wireless OR wired, it doesn't matter. The Opera browser currently has this annoying feature you can't turn off that it makes a sound whenever you select an item ... gets annoying as you navigate. The interface is overall functional but not customizable or skinable. The file browser is OK (for a Wii), but not what I had in mind. The audio playback is lacking some pizazz ... the controls are mezza-mezza, and you stare at a black screen ... it needs a big face-lift and a few visualizations.
