PR-Challenge: January 1st PR

January 4, 2015January 4, 2015ambs1 Comment on PR-Challenge: January 1st PR

Cross Posted from my Perl Blogs blog. So, yeah, to make me more active in the Perl community I decided to join the Pull Request Challenge. I have a quite big number of modules to maintain, but sometimes it is good to look to some other people code to learn something. My attribution for January […]

From Tamagotchi to SimCity Build It

December 28, 2014ambsLeave a Comment on From Tamagotchi to SimCity Build It

I am not sure if you remember the Tamagotchi at all. It was a small device, kind of “Chinese electronics” (sorry, I know most electronics are made in China anyway, so not sure why the ones that does not have a non-Chinese mark are mostly so creepy), where the child needed to take care of […]

Java, and Cloning Arrays

October 12, 2014October 12, 2014ambsLeave a Comment on Java, and Cloning Arrays

Just to let you know, in case you find this kind of problem… Java is able to clone uni-dimensional arrays of built-in types, like int, but it is not able to clone multidimensional arrays, as a multidimensional array is an array of arrays, and an array is an object. Not sure this is the explanation, […]

Octave Wonders

July 28, 2013July 28, 2013ambsLeave a Comment on Octave Wonders

Was looking around the Octave language… and requested help about the fact function. Display an amazing and random fact about the world’s greatest hacker. I decided to experiment: Richard Stallman once used GDB to reverse-engineer Windows 7 into a free operating system – able to run on GNU Emacs! And tried again Richard Stallman won […]

Watching 720p matroska on ASUS Transformer

March 12, 2013ambs1 Comment on Watching 720p matroska on ASUS Transformer

Yesterday I decided to try and watch a series episode on my Eee ASUS Transformer (TF101). First, notice that I rooted it, and it is running CyanogenMod, with Android version 4.1.2. The episode was stored on a SD card. It is not a fast SD card (class 4), but should suffice. The file was encoded […]

Javascript Reversi

December 29, 2012ambs1 Comment on Javascript Reversi

In the last two days I engaged in developing Reversi, just to learn how the minimax algorithm works. To make it easier to share, and remove GUI toolkit dependencies, my approach was using HTML (a simple page with a 8×8 table), three images (empty cell, black or white cells), a CSS file that fills empty […]

Dotcloud and Perl Versions

November 24, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on Dotcloud and Perl Versions

Today I waste all my afternoon trying to solve a problem with Perl versions and DotCloud. I say I wasted the afternoon because I could not solve the issue during the afternoon, only in the beginning of the night. Enough complain, and let me explain what was going on. Yes, this post is a little […]

Panoramic Photos – Hugin

August 12, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on Panoramic Photos – Hugin

Hugin is the only free alternative to AutoPano Giga/Pro that I have found. In these cases the number of photos is smaller (and mostly horizontal). This tool is not as good as AutoPano in guessing the position of photos, but does a good overall job.

Panoramic Photos – AutoPano Giga

August 12, 2012August 12, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on Panoramic Photos – AutoPano Giga

These are my two first experiences with AutoPano Giga. They have plenty of problems. One of the photos has a lot of inconsistencies, most of which are my fault, for moving while taking the photos (and not just rotating over an axis). Nevertheless, I like these pictures.
