Not Connery, honest, but ninety percent Scottish ancestry from 1610 to 1730. Did not realize it was resurfacing  ;D

My latest attempts at storing large amounts of data in a small space use a zoomable user interface (ZUI) and readily available or open source apps. The best I can do is fit 1200 words of text in a 156 KB bitmap file. My goals were: easy selection and viewing and fast access.

Eagle Mode (ZUI) v 0.84.0 livecd (from sourceforge) has a practically infinite desktop with file structure and names in SVG that show all drives and files. Navigation is fast and clicking on a file allows zooming in on the contents. My test file was a monochrome bitmap saved with MS Paint from a Windows PrtScr of a screen full of 'test' random letter, five letter words of 6pt Courier New, 24 words by 50 lines.

Living Room / Re: Raspberry Pi's $35 Linux PC
« on: August 24, 2012, 05:40 PM »
I hope to get a Raspberry Pi but I would like a bit more memory. Maybe next version. I'm going to try making a case with silicon rubber that can be shaped (mix with corn starch, carbon fibers, aluminum powder, UVdye or paint), leave some clear spots for the LEDs and use polyethylene for the shape that it can be peeled off when dry.

Thanks. I'm glad you both liked it. More to come. Drawn with a two-button mouse, Logitech model M-CAA42.

Photoshop. One color, a warm orange-brown (226 - 199 - 115). Layers: 40% transparent line sketch above a couple of layers for lighter and darker 'washes' and above a mid-tone fill layer. The 'washes' were about 15% to 30% transparent blurry edge brushes. It is fast to do. Daumier liked combining ink, charcoal and transparent watercolor for a fresh 'sketch' look.

General Software Discussion / Re: Simplifying Your Computer
« on: August 22, 2012, 02:19 PM »
I've been doing this for years but I'm taking a slightly different approach. With hardware being so cheap...
First, my needs are basic. No huge files or big downloads, mostly text, gathering data and processing it.
Box 1:
Linux Mint 12 by Ethernet cable to modem and Firefox for gathering and forums. Linux Shutter, editors, and side-interests (Bender, Inkscape, Getting Things Gnome, org-mode, Freeplane, prolog), AV, Web Of Trust. No file storage except temporary/daily.
Windows 2K, not connected to the Internet. Wordperfect, Irfanview. Temporary processing and to CD/USB
Box 2:
Laptop XP email, software download, ImageBurn ViaVoice 8 Advanced. No file storage. Save to CD or USB. Occasional Live Linux CD use.
Box 3:
Windows 2K, not connected to modem or Internet. Wordperfect, Photoshop, Imageburn.
Box 4:
Windows 2K, not connected to modem or Internet. Wordperfect, Photoshop.
I removed XP from several boxes and have the licenses but prefer 2K. It serves all of my needs and I know it better.

I'm planning on simplifying further with a box/board with no hard drive for Live CD/USB Linux. I am also watching for developments in small specialized OSes like Puppy for RPi. My wife has Ubuntu on a laptop and we share email accounts on the same ISP. Her start was Pascal, mine was Fortran. We are not Luddites but we do like efficiency.   ;D

I have wiped lots of database apps, OneNote, Access, firewalls, AV and file organizing apps and keep going back to basics.

« on: August 21, 2012, 02:38 PM »
Thanks. The whole concept of simplifying is great. I'm always on the look-out for ideas about todo/GTD.
The Freeplane approach is easy. Getting Things Gnome works well. Org-mode has good features. I like tagging in todo.

Dark matrix one.

Cody and highly suspect genealogy.  :) Just for fun.

@app103
Thanks. I could make any next designs using pale yellow or something. Others are doing a better job. I have only owned two, plain dark green sweat shirts and know almost nothing about them  :)

97
Criticize, correct or suggest away. I'm not 'sensitive'.  ;D

Dark Cody.

Tshirt samples. Separate colors easily changeable.

I will try a T shirt design. My understanding is that the design should have few colors so I will try one in the style of Tiepolo. What dimensions or formats are best?
Possible style influence: Tiepolo, Daumier, Klee, Goya, Manet, Rembrandt, other.
Based on: watercolor, ink, charcoal, pastel.
