Modify the language in GIMP
Hello good this is a brief explanation of how to modify the language in the drawing program and opensource GIMP ...
This program is installed by default and uses the default operating system language where it is installed. In my case Spanish, as was the case with my Windows XP, as I do I handle English well and / or want to use the tutorials available on the Internet which are 99% in English, should have the same terms as to command and / or explanations of effect and application.
For these cases there is a solution, and once installed does not allow GIMP via its interface, change the language. For this we locate the folder "locale" directory that exists within our facility share GIMP.
In my case: "C: \ Program Files \ Gimp-2.0 \ share \ locale"
Modifying the directory "is" changing the name to any other, for example "es-backup" for the Spanish dictionary, then generate a copy of "en-CA or en-GB" corresponding to the English language and such copy made , we changed the name to "is".
We started the GIMP, and see how they have changed all the menus.
Where is your username? and where you can register with it.
When one takes a username to use on all accounts, it is advisable to avoid omissions or for reasons of image, have the same user to all sites where we checked in with this page we can see where you are registered and where there . And we can go directly to the registration page of each web directly with one click.

Webcam for use in the Hubble
This is a project to convert a webcam, and adapt it to a telescope, in general should work on any ... but I'm not 100% sure.
To capture images of the planet, many photographs are required to be sumarizadas later with some program ... and the brilliance that captures the webcam, is very poor and really needed some extra work to make it right.

Firefox to the max!
How to Increase the Speed of Mozilla Firefox to Maximo
We started typing about: config in the Mozilla Firefox browser
This will go to the settings of Mozilla Firefox. It is recommended to play with these settings when configured as badly affect the performance of the browser.
We started writing where it says filter:
1. pipe
And leaving modify the following settings as follows.
network.http.pipelining - true
network.http.proxy.pipelining - true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests - 1000
2. delay
browser.download.manager.openDelay - 0
dom.disable_open_click_delay - 0
network.http.request.max-start-delay - 0
security.dialog_enable_delay - 0
toolkit.scrollbox.clickToScroll.scrollDelay - 0
3. timeout
accessibility.typeaheadfind.enabletimeout - false
accessibility.typeaheadfind.timeout - 0
network.ftp.idleConnectionTimeout - 0
network.http.keep-alive.timeout - 0
network.proxy.failover_timeout - 0
4. flashCount
browser.download.manager.flashCount - 1000
5. max
browser.chrome.image_icons.max_size - 500
browser.sessionhistory.max_entries - 1000
browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo - 500
dom.max_chrome_script_run_time - 1
network.proxy.autoconfig_retry_interval_max - 1
Then look for the following configurations and leaving modify as follows:
* Dom.max_script_run_time - 1
* Dom.popup_maximum - 2
* Intl.charsetmenu.browser.cache.size - 1000
* Network.http.max-connections - 1000
* Network.http.max-connections-per-server - 1000
* Network.prefetch-next - false
* Layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word - false
* Browser.cache.disk.capacity - For devices with
memory between 512 MB and 1GB, we insert the value 15000. To
equipment between 128MB and 512MB memory, we insert the value 5000
This configuration is used to disable the close buttons on each tab of Mozilla Firefox, if you can modify
* Browser.tabs.closeButtons 0 or 1
0: only close button appears in the active tab.
1: button appears on all tabs.
And then we'll create the following configurations:
* Type: logical (Spanish) boolean (English), Name: config.trim_on_minimize, Value: true
* Type: integer (Spanish) integer (English), Name: browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers, Value: 0
* Type: integer (Spanish) integer (English), Name: browser.cache.memory.capacity, Value: 16000
* Type: integer (Spanish) integer (English), Name: nglayout.intialpaint.delay, Value: 0
* Type: integer (Spanish) integer (English), Name: content.notify.interval, Value: 500000
* Type: logical (Spanish) boolean (English), Name: content.notify.ontimer, Value: true
* Type: logical (Spanish) boolean (English), Name: config.trim_on_minimize, Value: bring
At the end we will restart the browser and observe the results.
There are different ways to speed up Mozilla Firefox. When you download or Fasterfox FireTune can achieve similar results.
Thanks BA

Light a button ATX without CPU ... and without ...
What if we need to test at hand and not a button? There is a homemade solution that is not the most elegant in the world, but it works. Is to make a bridge between the green wire and one black connector on the power supply that goes to the motherboard.
For this, a simple molded clip is properly all we need:


We introduce the clip on the connector so that it touches the metal contacts of the green wire and one black:


Of course, all this should be done with the power disconnected from the mains. If the source has a switch, we close it. If not, we will remove the power cord or unplug it. In any case, it is important to remember that as soon as we put the green wire in contact with one of the black light if the source is connected to food, so better to have the power off and on again after making the bridge. On Of course, do not touch the clip you use to make the bridge with his hands, and if you're leaving for some time, fórralo with electrical tape.

On the Internet we found a lot of websites showing how to make the bridge as well :

... But it does not take Einstein to realize that if we do, we can not connect the power to the motherboard!
The theory of this is very simple. If you look at the use of each of the connector pins of the source to the plate:
| Color | Signal | Pin | Pin | Signal | Color |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +3.3 V | 1 | 13 | +3.3 V sense | ||
| +3.3 V | 2 | 14 | -12 V | ||
| Ground | 3 | 15 | Ground | ||
| +5 V | 4 | 16 | Power on | ||
| Ground | 5 | 17 | Ground | ||
| +5 V | 6 | 18 | Ground | ||
| Ground | 7 | 19 | Ground | ||
| Power good | 8 | 20 | -5 V | ||
| +5 V standby | 9 | 21 | +5 V | ||
| +12 V | 10 | 22 | +5 V | ||
| +12 V | 11 | 23 | +5 V | ||
| +3.3 V | 12 | 24 | Ground |
(Table obtained from the ATX article WikiPedia )

(Diagram taken from PC Stuff Wiring 12v DC )
We can see that besides voltage connectors +3.3 V, +5 V,-5V, +12 V,-12V and ground, only three additional connectors: 5VSB, and PWR_OK PS_ON.
5VSB connector is what keeps a small current to power the circuit board that is responsible for managing the boot time (remember: at a certain time, by pressing the keyboard, Wake On Lan, after loss current, etc..) and that causes even see the computer off the network card still has the power link LED and the LEDs on the keyboard and optical mouse. Even sometimes the motherboard itself has a LED that indicates we change the memory while it is on because the plate is being fed and may be damaged.
The connector PS_ON motherboard uses it to tell the power supply is turned completely. Activates the voltage down to 0V, and therefore, bypass it with a cable to ground the source starts.
Finally, the source puts PWR_OK active signal to tell the motherboard that is providing voltages within specification.
And finally, an important caveat: It is inadvisable to operate the power vacuum or very low load: Can damage / burn / harm very seriously. Use this little trick really just to feed the components of a PC.

USB fake? not know whether your USB key is original ... or the ability to claim to be?
Hello ... good morning ...
after multiple complaints EBAY sales of fake USB keys which indicate 2.4 or 8Gb and end corruption always generate files ... I lost them ... we offer a tool to see the true potential of the same ....
BMP image placed on your USB key preformatted with any program ... "can be from windows" ...
edited with any word processor "wordpad", "notepad", etc, the ". bat" and change the drive letter "z" with the letter of your USB key ...
And run the program .... bat double click.
This opens a DOS window, and tell us that we press the spacebar to continue ... in doing so, begins to generate copies of the BMP file, which weighs 10MB ... generate a lot ... when done for lack of space ... (may take a while ), then we will open the file browser, thumbnails mode (when viewing images chiquitinas), and observe the BMP copied, when we see begin to see flaws in the BMP, it is up to the actual capacity of our USB key ... for example see 100 images correctly BMP ... then we have a key 100x10mb 1GB ... so depending on how many images we see correctly.
Greetings and I hope will be all right. ![]()

Grease, what, how and how much?
How to Apply Thermal Compound optimally?
First the thermal paste that is used to ensure full contact between the surface of the micro core and heatsink surface. Why? then because if there are gaps (and between two surfaces that are not perfectly smooth, as is the case, there are) the thermal conductivity of air (which is what would be within the gap) is lower than the thermal paste, ie , for purposes of thermal conductivity is better than the hole are filled with thermal grease that of air.
But we must also say that no matter how good the thermal paste (I mean the ones in the market) will NEVER have rates that has the aluminum conductivity (and in no case copper), for Therefore, any amount that exceeds what is necessary is to act as thermal resistance (and detrimental to the dissipation of heat) ...
A comment, it is true that if you catch the chipset heatsink and you take away (or the micro of a graphics card) you would find a good glob of thermal paste (usually white).
I guess the reasons are twofold. Firstly the chip surface is different from a micro AMD XP. There is no well-defined core in these components (not protruding) so what makes contact with the heatsink is the entire chip, so you have to apply paste on all of it (as if for example a bus ride with intel heatspreader or a new AMD64).
So you take a number to ensure that by the pressure of the heatsink itself extends over the entire surface (as if you press a jam sandwich). Ideally, applying a film on the whole chip but in an assembly line (I suppose it is for this) is easier and faster to have a machine that puts a glob in the center and stop trifles.
Recently I had an idea I am about to see, to deduce what the ideal case where the application of thermal paste.
I want to measure temperatures in the following situations:
- Without thermal paste (or voids filled with air)
- With thermal paste in the holes (Core).
- With thermal paste in the holes (Core + sink).
- With excess thermal paste (applying even more dough)
- With thermal paste STRICTLY in the gaps.
In which I think is closest to the ideal situation. Obtained by applying a film, then placing the heatsink for the pressure to extend the pasta .. and then remove the heat sink with a toilet paper wiping the surface of both micro and sink .. But this does not return to the 1st case? because I think no, because if we imagine the surface of core and heatsink we view with much increased something like saw teeth .. on the tips of which has passed the toilet paper but not on the gaps between teeth (which are holes to fill with pasta) would therefore ONLY paste in the holes.
Thereby maximizing the contact surface (principle for applying paste) but instead is minimized aquaplaning effect between pulp and core (that gaps do not absorb all of the paste applied and is between micro and heatsink surface, exercising thermal resistance) .. I think this would be the best way to apply thermal paste
Finally, it occurred to me the other day re-reading forum posts and not if a round jar or if you have real substance (it will take to make measurements and see what happens).
The Experiment:
The fact is that value is not good or bad the whole: Heatsink + Fan + Heatsink. What I see is the temperature differences in relation to the application of thermal paste
I plan to do so as follows:
Idle = 15 minutes looking at your desktop without even moving the mouse (only rulando program monitoring temperatures and voltages on my Abit NF7-S 2.0) .. After this period record the temperature
Full = 15 minutes using a program to check the stability of the micro (the Burn Wizard of SiSoft Sandra or something like that)
1, No thermal paste: obviously ride without putting anything of pasta .. First record the temperature Idle, and then the full ..
2 and 3 with thermal paste voids: ie applying a film of thermal paste as thick as a cigarette paper. Idle and Full. This section I have considered splitting into two parts to add more cases to the experiment. For one thing will apply a film thickness of a cigarette paper on the micro core. Later repeat measurements with an equivalent amount on the heatsink also
4 ° With excess thermal paste: applying more of paste on the q and there .. Idle and Full
5 ° with thermal paste STRICTLY in the gaps: clean up all visible thermal paste with a tissue or the like. Assuming q in the microvoids and surface thermal paste has been filling them, and only I am using strictly necessary .. Idle and Full
I want to measure temperature itself not to take the mike, if not changes that occur to see which is the most efficient way to apply thermal paste.
Participants:
1st. Case. No Thermal Compound:
| Just put the mic and the sink without any thermal paste.
|
2 nd case. With Thermal Compound in holes (Core):
|
|
If you look there is thermal grease on the surface of the micro. This is because once the experiment I realized that some pictures were blurry, so I had to clean the components (there is always some pasta) and repeat
| In the latter case, apply a film of thermal paste on the surface of the core the micro, the thickness of a cigarette paper. This paste applied on a pegotillo the core, and extend it with your finger.
|
3rd case. With Thermal Compound in holes (Core + sink)
|
|
|
For this case, removing the heatsink, it looks like the effect of the surface pressure has been impregnated by the thermal paste that was in the core.
I then apply a little paste on the surface of the sink and I extend a finger to give a layer thickness of a cigarette paper.
4 th Case. Excess of Pasta:
|
|
With the cooler with pasta extended after the effect of pressure, apply more paste on the core of the micro, to achieve a surplus.
| Measurements:
|
5 th case. Strictly Pasta in the gaps:
|
|
|
The objective is to remove all thermal grease that is not inserted in the holes of the surface of the heatsink and the core, and thus maximize the contact surface.
To remove the heat sink can be observed as the effect of the excess pressure builds up in pasta edges contact surface
Then with a piece of toilet paper (also serves the role of kitchen) clean pulp sink both the surface and the core of the micro.
| Measurements:
|
Conclusions:
|
|
The first conclusion is that it is clear that cooling is much improved with the use of thermal paste. On the other hand the latter case is quite similar to 1, which goes to show that either I was wrong, or the method I used is not appropriate for the environment that I wanted (pasta strictly in the gaps). It also shows that using toilet paper or paper towels is quite effective in removing thermal paste.
The best method seems to be a cross between the 2nd and 3rd case. Staying with temperature idle than 2 ° the full 3rd (SUBSECTION: you noticed as in the 3rd case is best conveyed the temperature in full?, While the temperature of mciro is 0.5 degrees lower temperature is 1 ° higher . The temperature generated in the microprocessor transmits better environment).
The fact improve the temperature in the 3rd full case is due to conclude that "settling" of the pulp, ie its tendency to temperature is to liquefy (or at least become less viscous), whereupon the distributes pressure the better, and the remaining is accumulated on the edges of the contact surface. While in idle, the temperature is higher because the amount of paste produces a "aquaplaning", preventing the heatsink surface touches the surface of micro and exerts thermal resistance.
After this experiment I conclude that the best way to apply silicone corresponds to that explained in the 3rd case. But BEWARE, because once the experiment I replaced pasta to leave the computer running and I did as the 3rd. case, obtaining higher temperatures thereafter. This is because I applied more paste and also already had something impregnated surfaces. So if aplicáis as the 3rd case, do it carefully to make two layers with the thickness of a cigarette paper (if you pass there, you will begin to fall in excess).
You can also follow Case 2 but being a bit more generous, the alternative of Case 2 has an advantage is that you make sure only going to be paste on the contact surface, and this makes it easier than the pressure expels to the quantity remaining edges.
As for the type of thermal paste that you use, consider that the better (higher rate of thermal conduction), will increase the difference between the 1st case and the rest, however be reduced between cases 2, 3, and 4.
Finally you can see in this pair of links to the manufacturers recommendations in implementing pasta:
- Artic Silver Recommendation
- Recommendation of Titan
- Arctic Cooling Recommendation 1
- Recommendation 2 Arctic Cooling
- ThermalTake Recommendation 1
- ThermalTake Recommendation 2
- ThermalTake Recommendation 3
As you can see some manufacturers provide different methods to others .. hence q I decided to do the experiment to know which way is best.

Headcam (based on the movie "I Am Legend")
A useful device that is really helping me with my projects and documentation.
Based on the nifty gadget that appears in the film by Will Smit, I Am Legend, in which the protagonist has a webcam, which grabs its normal site (like all webcam) from the top of the monitor, and placed in the ear like a bluetooth headset, and with it to the side of the head, is transmitted wirelessly to a computer in everything he sees and does.
It seemed like a great idea, but for people like us, we're all day trying to document everything we do, and this can be a very particular and useful ...
I have relied on a tiny camera that transmits at 1.2 GHz to a receiver that I connected the composite video input of my computer (then plowed to incorporate into a hack and feed with the same source as PC), the micro camera I have stayed in the typical wire helmet, we all do with the tinkering of the head, which resembles a neck headset, the kind that are worn behind the ears, where one end I made a holder for the webcam and one for the battery (this works with one of 9Volts, but short term I'm going to replace a smaller one.). And nothing more, to transmit to the computer.
The recording obtained is this ... you enjoy, then will insert the workaround of the head support of the camera.
