How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Shell So far, I’ve used GNOME-Shell for at least 10 minutes and Unity for at least 15. And it was six months ago. Just to tell you how much I’m competent on the subject. And I didn’t like them. Transcript of Rendering the World Presentation This is a transcript of my Rendering the World session for anyone who was not able to attend the FOSS4G conference.

Read the World's Best Books for Free With the Harvard Classics Advertisement Most of us struggle to choose which book to read next.

JavaScript secrets of worrydream.com I recently came across the site worrydream.com, which implements an amazing navigation experience through JavaScript and HTML5. The page displays dozens of page icons arranged into angled strips that fit the page, and when you click on one, the icons fly around the page while the clicked link slides in at the bottom. It's an amazing effect - if you haven't seen the site, click on the image below to try it. (Otherwise this article won't make much sense.) Looking at the page, I couldn't figure out how CSS and JavaScript could perform the effects on the page - the way the icons moved around, the angles of the icons and the page, or the way the page blurred and appeared. Using Inspect Element in the browser showed a whole bunch of complex divs, but didn't give much clue as to how it works.
Keith Newstead Automata My original design. To make the base,I bend galvanised wire to shape and place it on a jig. Then the pieces are soldered together (this is one of two sides) The two sides are joined together. The wheels of the flying machine will rest on these wooden rollers. The rollers will be rotated by an electric motor Poor Man's Scalability - The Art Of Delightful Software Last week, Famigo was featured in both TechCrunch and VentureBeat. I knew about these in advance, and I also knew that while both would drive a lot of traffic, the traffic wouldn't stick around for long. We needed to scale up, but we didn't need to scale up for long. Add to that the fact that we wanted to scale up temporarily without spending any money and you have a fun little optimization problem!
About IMOS Home About IMOS IMOS stands for "In Memory Of Socrates." Socrates urged us all to use our minds and, more specifically, our intellectual abilities to examine our lives, our beliefs, our principles, our actions and our ideas. As individuals and as a society, we far too often fail to follow this good advice. We are so often woefully in error because we fail to scrutinise what we say, what we do and what we believe by using the intellectual capacities at our disposal. Tarkovsky Films Now Free Online Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-1986) firmly positioned himself as the finest Soviet director of the post-War period. But his influence extended well beyond the Soviet Union. The Cahiers du cinéma consistently ranked his films on their top ten annual lists. Ingmar Bergman went so far as to say, "Tarkovsky for me is the greatest [director], the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream."

In my years of programming in Python and roaming around GitHub's Explore section, I've come across a few libraries that stood out to me as being particularly enjoyable to use. This blog post is an effort to further spread that knowledge. I specifically excluded awesome libs like requests, SQLAlchemy, Flask, fabricetc. because I think they're already pretty "main-stream". If you know what you're trying to do, it's almost guaranteed that you'll stumble over the aforementioned.
