And it’s another Sunday at Raymond.cc, which means that it’s time once more for games to be played. While I’m still offering games on Sundays, I now am expanding it to free games, not just open source. Since Flash is closed source but free of charge for every operating system, I figured this would be [...]
Technology has had long & wide strides in terms of contributing to the world a lot in both the quality of living & inspiring man to do more. The innovations that have been created are encouraging that increasingly people & groups claw their way day in & day out towards generating new things & ideas that can readily place them in the ranks of the notables. One innovation which is reaching a high-level of confidence globally is the satellite tv.
Through the years, it's improved its expertise in order to give more efficient services to its subscribers. Another brand of development that is linked with it is the idea of satellite TV on PC. Let's take a glance on the way you can get transportable satellite TV. Watching tv has come a long way. In the elderly times it can be a boring task to sit on your couch & change channels that are not worth watching. At present an evolution has taken place. The arrival of regular cable companies & the growth of the satellite TV industry are not to quench the thirst for better entertainment & information access. There is a new revolutionized process in the market. It's come to be known as Satellite TV for PC. Are you fed up & down right beginning to query why you're wasting your hard-earned funds on some sub-par cable service? Then it's time to join the craze & put your desktop computer or laptop computer in to proper use. You only must acquire web connection which is not hard & you're on your way to better TV time. The important thing to think about is this. You work your way in to the office or wherever you do your thing as a professional & when you come home you require to relax & accomplish that well-deserved entertainment. You earn your bucks & unload it to things that matter & one of which is watching your favourite TV programs, shows, movies, & sports. With this in mind, don't let your local cable & satellite TV providers dictate the way you spend your money. Go ahead & try satellite TV on your laptop computer. You can have leisure time while doing business on the net or even speaking together with your relatives & friends. Get it fresh in your own time wherever you are. Satellite TV for PC can give you a wider array of choices in terms of channel line-up as compared to those offered by regular cable TV companies. You don't must content yourself with those boring re-runs & replays of movies & shows. You are not caged in to having only a few channels you can think about as your favourite. The power of the world wide web is in the palm of your hands. Come & take it. Portability & affordability are the two main attraction of this new process. In case you are that sports fanatic & you're team's game is not on regular cable showing or that anticipated fight is way out of reach.

A transportable satellite tv experience is one thing you shouldn't think one time about.
Which tools you are using to take quality screen shot of a web page loaded in your browser ? If you just needed to take the screen shot of the visible portion of the web page, you can just use the [PrtScn] key on your keyboard. What if you need to capture the full screen shot (full page loaded in your browser )? In Firefox you can capture full web page using one screen capture addon called Fireshot. This Firefox extension let you take the full capture of the web page loaded in Firefox.
If you are looking for a way to take full screenshot using Google Chrome browser., click on the link below.
I came across the following video and link when I visited Jonathan Brill's Multi-touch Maven blog. The multi-touch project was developed as part of the Patric Baudisch's Human Computer Interaction Research class at the Hasso Plattner Institute.
Detailed directions, along with pictures, can be found on the Designer Multi-touch Padwebsite. From there, you can download the OpenCV source code, which requires Microsoft's Visual Studio, from the project's website, along with a copy of the how-to video, a nice shopping list, and references.

The following information is from the CCC/CRA Roadmapping for Interactive Technologies website, describing an upcoming series of three three-day workshops that I think have the potential for changing the way interactive technology is designed and implemented in the future:
"The modern computing experience is shaped by the ways in which people interact with their computers. Underlying that interaction are the technologies of input, sensing, interactive techniques and interactive architecture. This is a series of workshops that will create a research agenda for revolutionizing these foundational technologies."
The last few decades have produced many new interactive technologies and many interactive techniques. Few of them are making their way into actual use because they are so hard to integrate. This workshop will create an agenda for new architectures for building interactive systems that integrate basic interaction in powerful new ways and provide new opportunities and foundations on which to build usable systems.
A culture is defined by its shared stories and the messages that people communicate with each other. Computing has created new ways for stories to be told in entertainment and education. This workshop will outline how we can bring digital storytelling from the realm of multimillion dollar productions down to the practical needs of everyday social, educational and political discourse.
A byproduct of the Internet's success is that large numbers of people can interact with each other and with large stores of loosely interconnected data. This workshop will create an agenda for interactions that involve thousands of participants.
NOTE: Organizers for the Interactive System Architecture Workshop include Dan Olsen, from Brigham Young University, Andy Wilson, from Microsoft Research, and Celine Latulipe, from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. (Dr. Latulipe was my HCI professor.) Joe Marks is a VP at Disney Research. The organizers for the Ultra-large Scale Interaction Workshop include Mark Ackerman and Mark Newman, from the University of Michigan, Keith Edwards, from Georgia Tech, and Scott Klemmer, from Stanford.
I'd really like to attend all three workshops. I will try to learn all I can about these workshops and share what I find during periodic blog posts over the next several months.
"To keep your adrenaline pumping while waiting for SIGGRAPH to start, here's a few juicy bits of inspiration:
"Simulating Real-world Film Lighting Techniques in 3D. Light, shadows, and rendering play together to create realism in your 3D models. Learn to bring these art techniques into your 3D scenes to create compelling cinematic views."
"Creating UVs for Characters in Autodesk Maya*. Regardless of whether you're using a model in a real-time environment or as part of a rendered sequence, here are some tips and tricks to making UV mapping work efficiently."
I’m aware that recently I’ve covered a lot of security posts for Windows, so today I’m going to share some advice for the Linux users. Unlike Windows, at this point, there is no need for an antivirus, though there are some solutions that presently exist, such as BitDefender for Unix, Avast for Linux, as well [...]
