Herd is a single-command Bittorrent-based file distribution system, based on Twitter's Murder. It was designed for pushing code out to a number of production systems. You can probably use it for other things. Herd requires no extra Python modules on the destination system as it ships around its own (lightly modified) copy of BitTornado.

I started off using a sample from Google's code repository, modified the

javascript to load a php page via an iframe. For each stop in the driving directions I

pass the php page the panoid, iterator, etc.

and construct the urls to the 21 tiles,

download them and call:montage $tempTilesdir/* -tile 7x3 -geometry

128x128 $basedir/$itr.jpg"Each tile sized down from 512x512 resulting

in the equirectangular panorama at 896x384

(easier to work with when there are a few

hundred frames).Once the driving directions reach the

destination I call:ffmpeg -f image2 -i %d.jpg -s 896x384 -r 5 -b

2000kbs $basedir/$datestamp_5-2000.aviWhich generates an avi encapsulated movie,

mpeg-4 encoded @ 2000kbs (5fps)I'd be interested in collaborating on

projects. PM with what you have going on.

thx.

The blimp (a modified BlimpDuino) was controlled by an iPad which was receiving the live video-feed from the cockpit.

The ad-hoc mailing list is cool. But you never know when a discussion stop and restart. There are some ongoing discussions I have with friends which last for years but at a very irregular pace and sometimes with 6 months of inactivity.

The last year and a half I have been confronted to a similar issue:

1. It costs to create a mailing list (admin work, email addresses, etc.)

2. Archives are good, specifically in a work context. It helps rebuild context for people who are late in the discussion. It helps remembering some decisions.

3. People do not know how to use dynamic folders for managing their emails. (Unfortunately) (All my mails of the last 20 years are in dated space folder with dynamic folders created for the current needs)

4. People do not know how to unsubscribe a mailing-list, but they know how to cc someone.

5. Some mails really belongs to more than one context, and it is a struggle for some people to know where to send them.

Some thoughts about a possible system (all issues not solved)

1. So I was wondering about a system where each mail has a unique id (already the case) and is saved online with its own archive.

2. The mail before being sent to the recipients has its header modified with a Archived-At: containing the URI of this specific mail.

3. It could have another header X-Thread-Archive-at: with the list or content of all emails in this thread.

4. The ACLs are dynamically set on each Web individual archive depending on who has been copied to this email.

5. The ACLs are inclusive for any new persons who is being added to the thread, including previous messages.

6. There is a possibility to tag and/or do positive bias filtering on emails the same way we do with spam, in a working context we would have a kind of shared vocabulary of contexts dynamically created. So the mails would be showing in dynamic contextual views.

Casio is squeezing a little more from the accelerometer a new prototype, a modified Exilim EX-H10, with something called “hybrid GPS”. The camera has a GPS unit inside, which will geo-tag your images as you shoot. The clever twist is that when the camera can’t see the GPS satellites (ie. nearly always), the camera actually uses the accelerometers to track your movements in space and location-stamp the images based on this guesstimate.
