Slingshot! Preview Slingshot! is my new personal project. It is a work-in-progress suite of tools aimed at enabling the coordination of design information among different software environments. The project is open ended in its trajectory and may take some radical turns in the course of its development. Below is a preview of my plug-in for Grasshopper which aims at combining the power of parametric design with 'the world's most popular open source database': MySQL. I am placing the finishing touches on this plug-in... so hopefully you will see a release for testing this month. My questions: Will this be useful to you? Release date for testing: April, 2011 Copyright Nathan Miller, 2011
SQL Server 2008 R2 Capabilities Breakthrough, in-memory performance With SQL Server 2014, new in-memory capabilities for transaction processing and enhancements for data warehousing complement our existing technologies for data warehousing and analytics. Scale and transform your business with, on average, a 10x performance gain for transaction processing while still using existing hardware, and a greater-than 100x performance gain for data warehousing.

Welcome to MariaDB! - MariaDB Open source software Open-source software (OSS) is computer software with its source code made available and licensed with a license in which the copyright holder provides the rights to study, change and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose.[1] Open-source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-source development and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open-content movements.[2] A report by the Standish Group (from 2008) states that adoption of open-source software models has resulted in savings of about $60 billion per year to consumers.[3][4] Definitions[edit] The Open Source Initiative's (OSI) definition is recognized[who?] OSI uses The Open Source Definition to determine whether it considers a software license open source.

Slingshot! GH+MySQL v0.6 Released A new version of the Slingshot GH+MySQL plug-in has been released. The release improves on the workflow for writing information to a MySQL table. A new Write Table component is included which allows the user to dynamically insert and update multiple columns of data. A workflow example for creating, writing, and querying is also included in this release. Licensing Valve Technology Valve's Source engine technology--the same used to power Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal--is available for license to any game developer. Source is widely recognized as the most flexible, comprehensive, and powerful game development environment available. Source combines leading-edge character animation, advanced AI, real-world physics, shader-based rendering, and a highly extensible development environment to produce some of the most popular computer and console games. These games deliver the most intense, visually-stunning gameplay experiences on modern hardware, while scaling smoothly on older systems, enabling developers to reach a diverse range of gamers. At its core, Source is designed with a modular, component-based architecture that enables the seamless integration of new features and technologies. A Comprehensive Set of Tools and Technologies Create state-of-the-art games with the same tools and content used to build Half-Life 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2:
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor horsterTools for Grasshopper: camera control and reference facilities. New plug-ins for GH. (first release) horsterReference horsterCamera horsterReference tools make it easy to reference objects by type, layer and other attributes from Rhino to Grasshopper. for now it consists of four components: Reference by layer - gets the Guids of objects that are on specified layer.Reference by type - gets the Guids of object of specified type.Reference by attributes - allows the user to filter the objects in Rhino document depending on their name, type, layer and colorRead text objects - references all dots and annotation from Rhino document into Grasshopper. horster cameraControl tools make it easy to control camera in Rhino viewport via Grasshopper. for now it consists of three components: getCamera - gets the location, target, lens length and 'up' vector of current viewport camera.setCamera - sets the current viewport camera. to install: i recommend starting with example files. thx, Jacek Markusiewicz Architect.
