Free Audio Editor and Recorder Launchpad Open GPS Tracker Dia Welcome to Dia's new homepage. Dia is a GTK+ based diagram creation program for GNU/Linux, MacOS X, Unix, and Windows, and is released under the GPL license. Dia is roughly inspired by the commercial Windows program 'Visio,' though more geared towards informal diagrams for casual use. It can load and save diagrams to a custom XML format (gzipped by default, to save space), can export diagrams to a number of formats, including EPS, SVG, XFIG, WMF and PNG, and can print diagrams (including ones that span multiple pages). Download Dia and try using it; tell us what you think of it (visit the Contact page), including to report bugs if you find them. CategoryProject
The Trac Project Producing Open Source Software Online Diagramming and Flowcharting Tool project-open AC Motor / Generator Project | Ohmpie.com This project started one night while I was lying in bed trying to visualize how an AC motor worked. I knew that it was different from a DC motor as in it did not require brushes and the speed was controlled by frequency instead of voltage. After some research I came up with this project to better my understanding of AC motors.AC Theory: AC Current is different from DC in that the polarity is constantly inverting in a given period. For example: Lets say you have a standard battery hooked up to a volt meter. Normally you would connect the positive lead to the positive terminal of the battery as well as the negative lead to the negative terminal. Quick Magnet Theory: A more in depth theory about magnets can be found here. Quick Electromagnet Theory: An electromagnet is a magnet that is created with a coil. AC Motor/Generator theory Most of the information I used to design this motor came from this page. Construction: The base for the motor Dividing the rotor into 6 sections
Avahi - Trac Design*Sponge » Blog Archive » diy project: kate’s homemade c i don’t want to make you all jealous, but in our lovely oakland climate mosquito problems are almost unheard of. but since i am originally from new hampshire, i can totally sympathize with the bug issue in the summer. and i didn’t realize this until recently but citronella candles are just regular old candles scented with citronella oil, which is available at health food stores and even some specialty hardware stores (like ace or osh for example). for much less money, you can make an entire arsenal of citronella candles to keep those evil pests at bay. this is a great recycle project because you can use old tins and jars form your pantry (big tomato tins would make great long-burning mega candles). i also recommend using old crayons as a coloring agent. while they are not good for regular candles because of their smoke, the smoke in these candles will help repel the bugs. let’s win those patios back!! have fun! – kate CLICK HERE for the full project after the jump! materials:

19 Eponymous Laws Of Software Development One surefire way to sound really really smart is to invoke a law or principle named after some long dead guy (an alive guy is acceptable too, but lacks slightly in smart points). hammurapisThis realization struck me the other day while I was reading a blog post that made a reference to Postel’s law. Immediately I knew the author of this post must be a highly intelligent card carrying member of MENSA. He was probably sporting some geeky XKCD t-shirt with a lame unix joke while writing the post. Well friends, I admit I had to look that law up, and in the process realized I could sound just as scary smart as that guy if I just made reference to every eponymous (I’ll wait while you look that one up) “law” I could find. And as a public service, I am going to help all of you appear smart by posting my findings here! Make sure to invoke one of these in your next blog post and sound scary smart just like me. Postel’s Law The law that inspired this post... Parkinson’s Law Pareto Principle Murphy’s Law
