I've just been wresting with this so I thought I'd save someone some time:

Django + Nginx and shared media
I've been struggling with this for a couple of days - so I'm sticking them here for memoryade. I'm building a site from Django, using Nginx as the front end.

Arduino Dome Control
I'm looking for a way to replace the AMX/Netlinx in the dome. This is as proprietary as it gets - AMX panel is expensive, the Netlinx is expensive, the SDK is expensive - and the whole shebang ends up completely non extensible without access to a £400 per day contractor.

Fisheyes in the Clouds

I'm rendering a piece for a competition at this year's Jena Domefest. The piece comprises various visual data representations of a work by Liszt. This needs to rendered at 2k fisheye - that is 2048x2048. It should be rendered at 3.2k - but I'm entering as a student.

Métamorphose
Let's hear it for Metamophose a bulk file renamer. I used to swear by Thunar - part of XFCE. But I've just had to rename 4000 TGA files, out of 14,000 TGA files to have proper zero padding and Thunar gave up. Metamophose was the only thing that could handle it...

Dome Mandelbulber

I've seen a lot of fractals in domes. Pretty much all of them have been 2D, with no dome correction, which I find quite nausea inducing, and definitely non-immersive. I was revisiting some sites I'd found looking into genuine 3D fractal rendering. Cool things were happening before with GPUs, but on this visit I came across Mandelbulber - looking through the manual I came across a reference to a 'fish eye' option, and got quite excited...

multi-projector Mplayer
I was looking at cave-mplayer last night. Wondering if I could face patching the mplayer sources, and installing onto multiple machines, when I came across this link - which suggested that someone was trying to check-in a similar feature - synced multiple instances of mplayer over UDP.

wayland=homeless?
I've been a bit concerned about Canonical's announcement that it was moving to Wayland. Nursing machines through the pulse-audio adoption was hard - particularly for multi-channel audio. I'm sure it'll be fine in the end, it's the interim that worries me.

From Ridley to Ragley
I've been out of the saddle for over a month. Looking at a pile of new Capagnolo components on my desk.
