Silence

Just a short entry before the month ends (I hate having months with no posts in my archive). So consider this like a status update … at the moment I am even more silent than usual because I am trying to finish my MSc. thesis as soon as possible … to get that burden off my shoulders. I am looking forward towards new (possibly exciting) horizons … but since my future is not totally clear at the moment I will talk about it some other time.

Quote of the Day: Apple Multi-touch

I found this quote in some post comment while browsing some open-source/multitouch related sites/blogs:

Humans have been using multiple fingers to do things for quite a long time. If Apple does indeed hold patents on such basic concepts as multi-finger interaction, then I count myself lucky that the gesture I have for them only really requires one.

I agree with it 100%.

Below is a screenshot cutout of a WD ShareSpace web-based configuration interface. … How come Ljubljana is probably the only city that is spelled incorrectly … wait … so is Prague!

LaTeX text in Inkscape

My LaTeX paper-writing workflow had suffered a severe blow when Inkscape 0.47 was introduced into Ubuntu repositories. With this version Inkscape switched to Cairo library for EPS export and that produced this bug for those of us who use pstricks to make the text in figures look more LaTeX-like.

So excited!

I have just discovered a project called MyPaint. And I am so excited about it that I can hold myself together :D … from the look of it it is everything that I have ever wished that Gimp would be … it has everything that I missed when I abandoned Photoshop for moral/philosophical reasons and moved completely to Linux. And it is open source! Can't wait to try it out …

Since the project has a Facebook page now I guess it is also time to write a blog post about it. More than half of a year ago I have joined the wlan ljubljana project, first as a designer of the logo. Then I helped with the overall web design and now I am also getting into the actual node hosting.

The table is all done now, transported to its permanent location at the faculty. Photos available in my gallery, more will be added soon. While this series of blog posts ends here, nearly a year after it started, the entire story about our exploration multitouch multi-user interfaces only begins … or so I hope at least.
