'''Steve Redler IV''' - aka [SRIV] email: steve-tclwiki at sr-tech.com '''09-11-2007''' Built a new quad-core computer, 8gig RAM with dual 30" LCDs driven by two Nvidia 8800s, here a pic: [http://server.linuxsys.net/images/dual30sm.jpg] '''1-20-2005''' I stopped at a big cigar store in Delaware today and got a new Humidor. [http://www.sriv.net/images/acid-humi-classic-logo.jpg] '''12-20-2004''' Got a new Apple Bluetooth keyboard for my Linux workstation. In order to make it more plug and play, I wrote a small daemon to monitor for the keyboards presence and reconnect it automatically for when I turn off the keyboard but keep the computer running. Added multi-device capability so it auto-detects my MX900 mouse too. [http://www.sriv.net/images/bluetoothkey.jpg] [http://www.sriv.net/images/sr3lcd.jpg] [http://www.sriv.net/images/mx900.jpg] In rc.local, load all the proper Linux bluetooth drivers. ie: modprobe hci_usb /usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 up /usr/sbin/hcid modprobe hidp /usr/bin/hcitool scan #connect my Apple keyboard /usr/bin/hidd --connect 00:0A:95:3B:95:19 #connect my Logitech mouse /usr/bin/hidd --connect 00:07:61:15:61:B0 /root/bin/tclkit /root/bin/bluekbd > /dev/null & The last line runs the bluekbd daemon, which is the following tcl script: #!/bin/sh # the next line restarts using wish \ exec `which tclkit` "$0" "$@" while 1 { set command "/usr/bin/hidd --show" set status [eval exec $command] set ::delay 0 foreach device {00:0A:95:3B:95:19 00:07:61:15:61:B0} { if {[string first $device $status] == -1} { set command "/usr/bin/hidd --connect $device" catch { eval exec $command } err puts "$device $err" after 1000 [list set ::delay 1] } else { after 10000 [list set ::delay 1] } } vwait ::delay } # end of file Change the device address 00:0A:95:3B:95:19 to that of your keyboard, as determined by hcitool scan.

[http://www.sriv.net/images/conf20042003010104494301.jpg] '''Tips for pipe smokers:''' Place a pinch or two of sugar in the bottom of the bowl before you pack in the tobacco. Keep your tobacco barely hydrated. It should feel dry, but still be springy. Pack it tight to get a slow cool burn. Typically pack the bowl in 3 stages, pressing the tobaco in the bowl frimly. Gently draw on the pipe between packs to make sure air still flows adequately. Beginners, try Captain Black pipe tobaco in the white pouch. ---- '''Tips for cigar smokers:''' To maximize the flavor of a cigar, dont knock off the ash until its 2 inches long or longer, then relight the cigar just to get a continuous even burn. ---- Heres my first wiki contibution, a quick hack-up demo to rotate text and or graphics drawn on a canvas. [Rotate text and images using img extension] It unfortunately relies on a feature of the [img] extension, but, since its not difficult to place img into a tclkit, I find this preferable to using [BLT] to accomplish the same. '''07-08-2003''' My mission for today was to create a tcl [DNS] server. I compiled the [tcludp] extension on Linux, which was a snap. Next, I sat down with some books, packet captures, and an xterm running dig. Alas 12 hours later, I have a minimal [Tcl DNS server]. '''11-27-2003''' Finally got [tclkit] built on Windows in MinGW! With the help of Wojciech Kocjan's genkit which needed a little updating, I blended Wojciech's script with JCW's current genkit to develop a smooth working version that currently only works on Windows.
