links for 2008-08-17

  • Wine 1.1.2 Has been build for OpenSolaris
    Awesome, I need to try this before the tax return deadline so I'm not panicking to get Quicken working.
  • Communities and stuff
    Bob Sokol posts a photo of me in a hockey shirt. Possibly the only time you will ever see this...
  • Using Photographs to Enhance Videos of a Static Scene
    This research work is simply amazing. I wonder what the processing time for these samples was?
  • Still posting manually, still looking for an alternative to delicious that doesn't need me to own a server. Dave J has a solution that needs a cron job - I could run it manually I suppose. Or perhaps Yahoo will decide to offer support for delicious after all?

Re "Wine", I am running into the err 1359 problem (start_wineboot failed to start wineboot). The original blogger has closed his comments. Perhaps someone can post comments here?

Hi Simon,

I manage links using HTML templates. It becomes a simple copy and paste job (multiple clipboard selectionw).

Just make a fit-in template.

I am answering my own question (somewhat). I was able to install and load GoogleEarth (on osol 08.05), but it went into a blank screen.

AFAIC, this will be the extent of my adventure.

"In it's current unoptimized state the code takes about 5 minutes to process a single 800x600 resolution video frame (from start to finish)"
