It is hard to believe that Linux can be news, because what you usually see are versions and versions of the same, but this time I was surprised a new design, and when I say design I mean it from inside, as Asturix, although based on UBUNTU and in the next version "Asturix 4" next to leave before the end of the year, will have a new desk, a lightweight, fast and reliable, created XHTML5, Javascript, C + and some PHP, changing everything now known. With the full support of Maddog, currently president of Linux International.

I can say that this is a breakthrough in terms of free software is known, allowing each day more people come to this world.

I recommend that you not proveis disappointed, and I say from the depths of my knowledge, since from this week belong to the design group, supporting the project as I allow my knowledge.

For my part, as is logical, because I have it on your computer from the girl and in my MacOSX with Parallels.

Scheduled expiration, or rather why more and less durable appliances and electronic equipment ...???

lamps that last x hours ... or printers that print x copies ... because you can actually do something that will last decades.??? as antoaño all products ... things that my grandparents had dauraban almost a life ... not to mention cars, if you have a FIAT over 10 years, is falling apart ... and the old CHEVY / FORD / CITROEN keep rolling the roads ...

But until recently but I had an amplifier balbulas that was better than any current computer.

Here's an example that you can, a lamp that is lit from 1901 (well so they say), but you can see on for Internet, and have burned 3 webcam, but the lamp still on.

Here the original link ... http://www.centennialbulb.org/cam.htm

After viewing a movie name (Into Eternity), I pretty scared ... looking like we're killing off a bit crap so we generate. On the other hand surprised because I find that watching a movie, there's so much nonsense on television and nobody has mentioned, at least I have not seen ...

After investigating and I have more information, is a tunnel 400 meters deep at its deepest galleries will be constructed to house nuclear waste, the first test gallery will be ready in late 2012, when they began to fill all the galleries, while fill the company will continue building more and more galleries, to complete the project, about 2100, when all the galleries are full, is thought to seal the tunnel with cement, and colocal monoliths around the tunnel to warn of what exists in the land so that no future attempt to dig there ...

For now the only information I see in Spanish is a note on Terra ... but so little I see advertised, maybe people of "green peace" should do something ... do not know.

Here you have several links have information for the topic that interests you ...

This is the company doing the project:

POSIVA http://www.posiva.fi/en/research_development/onkalo/

And an animation project http://www.posiva.fi/en/research_development/onkalo/

This is a picture of the project to end in 2100 (but is expected in 2012 have completed the test gallery and begin saving garbage)

It is assumed that 2100 is the date that is full of rubbish and completely seal the tunnel with concrete.

I have long been amazed by the signal so strong that I have in the MOBILE, now I understand why ...
Just camouflaged and concealed antenna I have seen a telephone, uselessly hidden inside a mesh cylinder I guess it's colored plastic to cover metal ... thinking a bit ... because I can not think that is not nothing but a telephone antenna ... irradiandonos to face ...
And to give me more to think, just a building rented by Banco Santander, where there are no owners, only weekly rentals.

Well I put the pictures you draw your conclusions.

This is mostly a memory aid, not having to search the internet or in the oracle. These circuits are tested and if followed correctly scheme gives good results.

Here is how to connect switches or buttons, either for positive or negative ramp.

We also see how to connect an LM35 thermostat.

Recall that this transistor has a large measurement range, with a definition of 10mVolts by grade.

Having measured from -55 º to 150 º C operating voltages of 4 to 30Volts. With only 4 volts can measure your maximum would be 150 ° C.

If we obtain for example:

In our reading 1.5 volts output is +150 ° C

If you have serious reading 0.25 Volts to +25 º C

And the next end is -0.55 volts would represent at -55 ° C

Here is an infrared sensor, which works perfectly.

In its construction verify that the receiver diode has to be negative to the positive pin, or connected to 47K resistor.

Finally we like to connect a simple LED (considering a 5 volt supply).

Also a LDR which gives a positive output pulse inverted, or negative ramp.

Later programs will put to use each.

Here's a project that I've been trying to finish, and finally I did.

REMEMBER IT IS A PROTOTYPE, NOT A MODEL OF PRODUCTION.

After the news of so many fires in many parts of Europe, it struck me that perhaps if we had an early warning in each case, can control the fire more efficiently. For example, if my idea, sensors XBEE WIFI technology which provides a range of 1500mtrs to each node, we could put one of these sensors in an area bounded by 1000mtrs sectors, these sensors communicate with a wireless technology and cascade can work, moving and routing all messages to a common point, which might be an alarm center.

Each sensor would your GPS location stored in the alarm message every 30 seconds and controlled levels of temperature and infrared emission, to detect a significant difference between readings may warn well in advance where fires occur, and each sensor may have minimal maintenance, and that would be self powered by a battery charged by a solar panel.

Basically these sensors only send the signal would consume staying asleep during the rest of the time. So the battery would last many days in low solar load.

I think it's a very good idea and can help you keep as many forests and parks. An additional point could be the safety of these modules, but I think introducing each sensor in a tube embedded in the earth, and only peep the solar cell (and this at a considerable height) could prevent theft or destruction.

Another point to consider would be the viable and inexpensive product because it could be built for less than 90euros, in cases of massive orders clear.

The prototype is as follows, as you can see has a solar panel for testing actually works correctly but need something bigger, always depending on the performance and the incidence of sunlight. This sensor has a waterproof case that protects it from rain and lower output for infrared sensors and temperature.

Here we see the appliances that receives the computer in charge of organizing and identifying the alarms. To his right XBEE receiver protocol, this is connected via USB to any computer and receive the signal wirelessly to a maximum distance "without obstacles" 1500mtrs, has a power of 60mW.

Here we see the present in the sensor module, which has adapted to connect to the micro controller, which makes all the magic.

Below this you can see the PIC board and the general lithium batteries that the 3.7 volts needed for the set.

Here is the set without the packaging.

Here to separate the parts we can see the micro controller, which is who captures and sends data via serial port to be transmitted to XBEE later.

Here are seen more clearly both plates.

The point of the whole project is the low-power transmitter provides XBEE, and intelligence held by the micro controller, since this is responsible for data capture, process and send them via the communications port.

For the general case consumption is 100mA continuous communication, but if you configure it to only to ship every 30 seconds and the rest of the time is sleeping, consumption falls precipitously to 30mA, offering an interesting range.

The first tests with the battery installed I've only had a duration of 10 hours continuous transmission, which I think would be enough, if we had cloudy days and the solar panel could charge batteries daily, but in the case of a single cloudy day would not be useful.

Now if we lower the consumption sleep settings, can be extended to 30hours of autonomy, and that is not enough, because I have lived weeks of cloudy weather, so I need to find a solution for batteries or solar panels with some performance.

With this tutorial pretend that people like me who have a IPHONE of the Elderly (SNIIFFFF, SNIIIFF) with little RAM, we can see how free flowing the New iPhone OS 4.X A respectable speed.

In my case and installed this version of IOS for the iphone, and I have removed the option of multitasking ... but I've tested this much more active and works decently. I have removed the option of multitasking to avoid memory remember to remove the programs you no longer use, because there were cases that I have found that programs in memory to 3 weeks is not used, and the resources consumed seemed a waste, therefore decided to remove the option of multitasking but likes the colors and each do what he wants.

Still on the subject, without multitasking and with the patch activated my phone works like a charm ... and does not stop at any time without memory, at least I had was about 20 megs free ... never less ...

Basically the patch consists of a file. "Plis" normalitos would like LINUX scripts, which tells us to reserve an amount IPHONE flash memory for use as a RAM, a kind of PAGEFILE.SYS Windows.

Previous requirements:

Obviously we need access to our internal directory IPHONE, so by CYDIA install the SSH server with SFTP access to this disk will get our IPHONE. Additionally of course need a program on your computer that can speak SFTP to the phone, I recommend FILEZILLA .

And then we just download the file from this LINK, is private and virus free. The key file is "walii.es" without quotes.

With the program FileZilla, we connect to our phone and transfer the unzipped file, only the file named "com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist" not transfer the RAR.

This file should be housed in the following directory:

System / Library / LaunchDaemons

This is the catch to find out how much memory you had before applying the patch ....

After closing all programs and clear the cache, we have only 37MB of RAM.

After reboot (power cycle) your phone with the patch in place, we have a memory of 87MB, which

leaving is stable with normal programs, phone, ipod, mail. We still have about 50MB.

This has significantly improved test how the speed of your phone and if verified with tests before and after we won several seconds at speeds of opening heavy programs such as TOMTOM or NAVIGON.

Additional information and useful for our IPHONE.

Hi ... I wanted to make note of this configuration to recover as you need it, and that people have at their disposal.

BRIDGE is a configuration, this means that connects to the VPN, and once connected is assigned an IP from the same range as the destination network, and for all logical operation, is how it is connected with a cable long sooo its private network. Being able to print to your printers, see your network drives or even network play, from anywhere in the world as if it were connected to a cable in your local area network.

You need several things:

Install the OPENVPN:

Opkg update

Opkg install openvpn

Install the compression drivers:

opkg install liblzo

Create a key for distribution to customers wishing to connect:

In this case we will call "secret.key"

Openvpn-genkey-secret secret.key

And put it in the appropriate directory ... (See the setup openvpn)

Create a tunnel initiator, this file is created in the / etc / init.d with any name eg openw

Now finally we will create a configuration for our tunnel (remember that all that is behind, "" does not apply to the config is only description:

Get to know the position of everything you need ... for example the log file and secret.key have to be in the right direction.

Finally we need to create a script that starts the tunnel interface, and create everything for our tunnel.

This file may be called "startupscript"

We created it, and put into the following:

There are a few lines, because I filter all that we do not need.

This leads to when connecting, verifies the digital signature file secret.key and we assigned a private IP network.

Need in order to connect a client configuration, and copy digitally previously config directory of your installation (Windows / Linux)

The client config is as follows:

Usually we could connect. If we need extra information, we can see the server log with the command "logread". And review information on the link OPENVPN http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/88-1xhowto.html Greetings.

I've had an occasional problem to run tunnels l home server, then an up-grade from KAMIKAZE to backfire, and it has taken me about 45 minutes to find the problem ... and to save myself later disgust, I put here the solution .

Basically the latest version of OpenWRT "Backfire" installing a PPP server (the server PPPD) of version 2.4.4, and when we install the pptpd server system only offers us a choice and version, which has a controller which is only compatible with the PPPD 2.4.3 for that little detail, the pptpd server does not work. And round and round I found that the driver only calls for more user information so "pa out," we remove the configuration and set up already.

The error message

Aug 22 7:44:19 gateway daemon.info pptpd-fon [2135]: CTRL: Starting call (Launching pppd, opening GRE)

Aug 22 7:44:19 daemon.err-fon gateway pppd [2136]: Plugin / usr / lib / pptpd / pptpd-logwtmp.so is for pppd version 2.4.3, this is 2.4.4

Aug 22 7:44:19 gateway-fon daemon.err pptpd [2135]: GRE: read (fd = 7, buffer = 41fd7c, len = 8196) from PTY failed: status = -1 error = Input / output error, Usually Caused by unexpected termination of pppd, check option syntax and pppd logs

Aug 22 7:44:19 gateway-fon daemon.err pptpd [2135]: CTRL: PTY read or GRE write failed (pty, gre) = (7,8)

The solution was to comment on this: # logwtmp

What is this ........ PICNIC WIFI??

A custom is the practice in countries like France, UK or U.S., and it seems nice and practical either to spend time outdoors and to meet people and share interests and hobbies ...

I like the idea and as the CAMPUS PARTY are so busy and are so rare ... I propose to organize a WIFI PICNIC in Madrid ... we can organize and get to share knowledge ... connection and also to make friends with the same concerns as us ...

For example, I put "FREE WIFI" for a weekend (28 and 29 August 2010 two full days) and a connection area, and I'm close and I can extend my wifi to share ... This is MADRID, CP 28050 , across from the metro station of the tables.

Those who register in the web of wifi point, then appear on the web ...

Here I attached some links on the subject.

At home I have many POMPEROS as they are often called in Spain the jars sold to soap bubbles, and I have all these empty, whether for use or accident where the mixture ends up on the floor ... J

So I came to investigate and put these formulas home to more than one can recover those pomperos ... can be made only with water and detergent, but it is not always as we want or the bubbles do not last 3 seconds. With these formulas we can make almost professional. J

Leave the soap mixture in an open container overnight. Avoid formation of bubbles or foam on the surface of the mixture stirring gently, removing them or just waiting for them to disappear. Environmental conditions influencing the quality of the bubbles. For example, the dusty air is disadvantageous, as the wind. The more humid the air, the better, which means it is easier to make soap bubbles on rainy days, of course "in house" J

This is a design by Jean Bossy PEAR, which I tested and it works great, I also include one that is more complicated but it is nice to have.

Basically what they do is to regulate the voltages at the input and output pulses, coupling them accordingly. Since the penguins run on a UART communication 5volts ... and most ROUTERS (Fonera) operating at voltages of 3.3Volts.

This is the easy, though it works, it is very likely to have problems with some routers

This though is more complicated, we make sure that always works.

Today I return to bore you with another photo of the moon ... because it seemed very nice time, I wanted to get to the moon and Mars that had a good angle and color ... and the end came a plane passing by.

Note: These photos have no retouching or settlement ... are as they were taken.

Or as we say in Creole ... make an icon link to your page to be added in the menu on your iPhone or iTouch to represent access to your web.

When you visit a website, we can save in two ways, as a favorite, where the iPhone keeps a full picture of your website, and the second way is to store it in the start menu of the iphone or rather as if a more . This automatically takes the default "capture" a snapshot of your website, if you like and want to customize it by some kind of logo or brand, we can do as follows:

We create in Photoshop or GIMP, or any design program, an image with dimensions of 57 × 57 pixels, which will not use any kind of gloss or rounded corners, that the iPhone will automatically (same for those who want to customize the icon to 100% can tell the iphone that does not touch anything, just change the name of the image).

In short words ...

Image of 57 × 57 pixels

No glitter, rounding or transparencies. (If you want to do the iPHONE)

Finish by saving the image format. PNG

Get this:

Enlarged size.

The long-awaited development of our beloved M740 with internal disk and play HD possibilities, but with a default, only has a Freeview tuner. Thus it has finished recording two programs and watch a third at the same time ... or make streamen network of channels, and seeing one on TV.

But that's something, is the beginning and when people will start to complain and version 2.0

Gigaset has presented a multimedia hard disk that has been part of their experience in the world of television. Input has provided a high definition digital tuner. And we add that this Gigaset HD790 T can handle 1080p video in MKV, and are input to a very interesting player. Too bad it's a simple and double tuner.

This Gigaset HD790 T also highlight its electronic program guide InOut and two USB ports to expand the capacity of your hard drive of 1 TB. Or connect a key and have WIFI internet access.

The video formats supported are enough, AVI, MKV, TS, TP, TRP, M2TS, MPG, MP4, MOV, M4V, VOB, ISO, IFO, DAT, WMV, ASF, RM, RMVB and FLV and more. Captions include supporting almost all that we can find: SRT, SMI, SSA, ASS, IDX / SUB and SUB. Can audio MP3, OGG, WMA, WAV, AAC and FLAC, while for the images we use enough: JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIF and PNG

In addition to all this, to have an embedded Linux operating system, we can modify it at will and installing new things.

Rarely have I felt intimidated by a team that looked and felt afraid to touch ... but I see this mass and the truth would scare me touch it.

NO is the best in audio brands, but in electronics and innovation ... I see it too well. And to think that the layout tab is not the front, but only later, and attention.
