there must be some sort of organic electronizm middle way.

i think mine is a mix of the following.

I keep all my vimfiles in /svno/appl/vim/vimfiles and my vimrc as /svno/appl/vim/_vimrc

When I make a change on one of the machines I must check it in for the others to benefit from it - on windows I use tortoise, on linux i use the svn command for this.

This setup helps me to have the same setup on all 3 machines.

Oh - just one thing - keep the files in vimfiles as unix files - my linux vim does not like ^M’s in the vim script files.

Kind regards - Your daddy

.net: What’s the process you go through when you create something like Cycles?

CH: I’d had the idea for Cycles a few years ago. It’s a recurring theme of mine to take a basic piece of video footage and mess about with it to the point of insanity. I also had a teddy bear that I’d created for some other project who wanted to star in his own film. Added to this was a new video camera I wanted to test out, and a song I had made that needed some visuals – so with all these ingredients the film more or less made itself. I don’t usually even storyboard my animations – I start with a vague version of the finished film in my head, and spend the next few weeks throwing the elements together until they do what I want. The results aren’t always predictable, but usually interesting.

how to make data moshing

use a plugin by

my diy vj controller using theremin
its now cripled away and defunct. but it was a fun project.

It made me realise that you should take great care in what you choose - often in a cavalier moment - to place in your memory, because some things will sit there for ever, like a bad seed; like a shadow on the moon; like a crow on a fence in a dream.

but recently i realized there is another way to do it.
using a small lcd monitor sub 3″ and equipment salvaged from a slide projector plus an ultra brite LED you can make an ok projector for relatively small money.

here is an instructables on how to do just that:
http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Multimedia-LED-Projector/step2/Materials-and-Tools/

when building such a device you have to get your hands on some ultra bright leds.
for example a 50 w LED
or a 100W LED

im going deep with a dj controller project and faced an old enemy. the potentiometers and their high cost (for a no budget project)

bythe way im talking about variable resistors!

well ive learned that there are some sollutions
here are my chosen:

• salvage potentiometers from old electronic equipment like stereos and stuff (takes time, lack of standards in equipment)
• build your own using a high resistance material and a pointer to be the variable piece. (look for paper resistor)
• use old equipment from optical mice (optical encoders and stuff to track the rotation of an element which is locked so it cant go more than 360 turn)
• use salvaged parts from mechanical mice(same as the one above)
  both optical and mechanical mice have the option to be interfaced directly using the ps2 protocol, or the actual used parts can be taken out)
• use some kind of motor that gives output when it turns (reversed motor for rotation input)

thats about it.
for info on the above look here:

another thing is that i need to have more inputs than i can get from the few arduino ports.
here comes fluidforms to help on that. they have made a project describing just that here:

How did we make the Cassius Punching Bag
The Fluidforms Punching Bag contains a matrix of 9×7 force sensors that measure the force exerted by a blow to the punching bag. The sensors are plugged into an Arduino board that sends the values over USB to a computer using the MIDI protocol….
