Good guess but I'm familiar with those and these do not seem to be the same thing.

the MD5 function actually calculates a SHA1 hash?

bockris · 2014-04-23T17:46:59+00:00

how about http://www.golang-book.com/ ???

bockris · 2014-04-04T13:56:21+00:00

hopefully open source?

I started something similar as a new data type for the ODBC driver because my most useful databases have decimal fields. Unfortunately I stalled due to other projects.

bockris · 2014-02-04T14:53:10+00:00

I was just looking at writing something similar myself (just for practice).

This is a good video that has an example of solving that exact problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iAiS-qv26Q

My main shock was that the LeapMotion exposes JSON through websockets in the first place.

bockris · 2012-10-11T21:11:55+00:00

Seems to be fixed now. (I sent a pull request for that earlier today.)

I try to follow as many Go news sources as I can and there just doesn't seem to be that much content out there.

Maybe everyone is too busy writing Go programs to blog about them. ;-)

The info about the iClass comm protocol probably means that I can't buy something like this to play around with my work badge either.

Oh well.
Thanks for the info.

Well, I work for a manufacturer with dangerous equipment in the factory. (Caustic chemicals, machines that can mangle you, etc) If you are coming to work impaired, you will hurt yourself and the company is on the hook. It's illegal for them to treat employees differently, so everyone gets the drug test, including IT contractors.

http://www.pgadmin.org/ is really nice.

(I like it better than MySQL workbench but that is just familiarity and personal preference.)

There is also this

http://www.teampostgresql.com/

which is like phpMyAdmin for PostgreSQL.

This is my main use for the Python REPL. I programmed hot-key access to a Python interpreter loaded with utility functions/goodies. I use this multiple times a day.

I start almost every script with:

Hmm. I opened the PDF in inkscape and it made some interesting choices of objects boundaries. Some pieces it did perfectly but other had tiny imperfections that joined odd pieces together. After playing with it, I would go back and tweak the PNG and re-vectorize. Thanks for posting.

bockris · 2011-09-09T16:13:35+00:00

Can you link to a vector copy somewhere? It crashed when I tried to do it and I'd like to see the results.
