Theo Verelst Local Diary Page 62
I've ditched the usual header for the
moment, I think it doesn't help much anyhow.
This page is copyrighted by me, and may be read and transfered by any
means only as a whole and including the references to me. I
guess thats normal, the writer can chose that of course, maybe
I´ll make some creative commons stuff one day, of course I have
made Free and Open Source software and even hardware designs available!
This
page is under contruction, so check back later, too.

Of course you don't NEED to use an full HD screen to view this page,
but it sure helps...
Sausalito Summernights
NOT MY PICTURES !!!!
These are downscales and slightly processed example images from
google-earth, see that
environment to see the originals. (It's for an
imrpession I hope that's fair use)
Is this there, too? I don't think so, but it looks like fun, from the
Cinelerra-heroineworrior
site, a self controlling (sort of autopilot, but also for takeoff and
landing, with gps and motion sensor) chopper flying machine with good
camera:
The film has been motion compensated, but there's so much motion the
blocks show clearly.
Another Fedora install!
This time, I put on the recent Fedora 10/64 on a pentium D (3Ghz)
machine with the GF9500GT graphics card, and of course CUDA is
installed an working, and a lot of tools like Cinepaint, Maxima,
This is from an upgraded 8/64:

Cinelerra 2.1CV on Fedora 10/64
(Fully unprocessed (except progressive JPG compressed)
screen dump. And no editing.)
Well, the KWIZART and and FUSION versions wouldn't work, so I had to
once more compile cinelerra myself, which I did. A small error with
some audio plugins, I don't know why.
For the rest it works, appears in the gnome video menu but has the same
lame limitations the previous versions suffered from. It appears to
work with 1080HD in the compositor window it doesn't fully keep up in
every case, maybe I coudld tune it to.
I guess a more logical next move would be to use RGB image files and
construct a preferably over 150MegaByte/sec disc solution. And cuda, of
course..............
Nextstep/Openstep/Gnustep
Well, putting windowmaker on is as easy as specifying it during the
install and choosing it from the startup menu with the login (after
having clicked on the default). BUT GWORKSPACE was not! It isn't
on the Redhat reositories or LIVNA or FUSION, so I had to make it
myself, and the gnustep foundation too. Weird, but working installation
scripts got the work done. Screen-filling wihtout the png encoding in
between on a bright ad big (28 inch) screen, that looks still very good.
Putting desktopeffects on gnome on and dragging window around is also
fun:
mplayer is playing alive stream over the local network from the server
TV capture box. I used the XV renderer. I've made the NVidia XMMC
library work with the self compiled mpeg at some point, but the messing
with the system libraries at the moment didn't indicate it's using it
anymore. This rendering to full 1920x1200 pixels does work, and it
appears mostly glitch free even with 1080 materials.
On windows, there is a example CUDA application which can apply cuda
processing to purevideo decoded video! That's cool, but the windows on
the particular machine is messed up because I had to power the machine
of while running the old graphics card with the broken fan much long.
and it appeared the disc cache was on so I need to fsck it but windows
fsck doesn't run with windows from the the same partition. Brr, I like
Linux better, that's for sure.
With that added though the few year old supermarket machinw would be
even more of a workstation!
Carwash ?
Tuneup then ? Gotta do something!
That car needs a wash,Theo ! Mwaa, I don't care that much, it's winter
time, and it gets dirty in a few days of wind it seems.
But it does have new brakes! All four of them, and new braking discs,
too. Not 4, Theo! Oh yes, 4...
Picture of I think a rear wheel of the car, the new disc shining still
after very little use.
