Open source electronic modules that snap!
2012-04-18 05:14:00 Little Bits One of my favorite electronic kit of all time is the one I had found in a yard sale, the Lectron, magnetic electronic blocks to discover the magic of electronics in a minute! This was very cool to find at a yard sale, but I was always wandering why such kits did not exist today. Well... a friend of mine from the MIT Media Lab, Ayah Bdeir, did it beautifully with LittleBits: the magnetic blocks hands-on remain, there is less an "electronic understanding" per se and more of an an "experiment me first" attitude. The design is very well thought out too with the color coded modules and the easy snap-on pieces.Electronic components are classified: input, output, power and wire, are color coded (sooo cute) and easily snap-able. With 50 modules in hands, everything can happen! I can't wait to put my hand on the started kit and see how my little one (just turned 2!) will adjust to this new creative medium!

Open-Source Slideshare alternative
2012-02-21 12:47:00 There were 2 reasons for me to create an alternative to slidehsare's slide-show plugin : My uncle had a 170MB PPT file which is over-the-limit of Slideshare's 100MB size limit.My previous company's CEO wanted to display 6 slideshows on the company's homepage and 6 slideshare plugins was being extremely heavy esp on the flash part. So I created a simple slide-show using jQuery as a jQuery plugin. There are some advantages as well as disadvantages.AdvantagesThis is completely customizable using CSS.Flexible slide sizeUnlimited slidesDisadvantagesThe slides are all images though, not HTML on the inside. Images would consume more space than HTML sildes.You need to export the slides to images, which you can do using Open Office.Require basic programming knowledge in HTML, CSS & JavaScript to embed this.An example of this :Usage : $(document).ready(function() { $('#div-element').jscoin_slide(-{effect:'slideUp'}); });The other options for effect are fade, flip and slideThis proj...

Free Open Source Cloning and Software Deployment
2012-01-30 09:30:00 I once wrote here on Bauer-Power about a really great open source cloning solution called FOG. Not only does it handle disk cloning though, but it can do a lot of computer management tasks. It can deploy software, it can rename computers, it can map printers, it can even join computers to Active Directory. All of this for free!I also wrote an article on how to Sysprep Windows 7 easily. The main reason I wrote that one is because the standard method for creating an answer XML file for Sysprep in Windows 7 is kind of a pain in the butt. My way simplifies it with the help of a free 3rd party tool.Well I got a related email from Bauer-Power reader, Matt Bradley, on Sysprepping Windows 7 based on my article above, and how FOG's FOGCrypt program fit in. In this latest Tech Chop, I tell you more about FOG, and I try to answer Matt's question about FOGCrypt!What do you think? Did I answer Matt's question? Do you have a question yourself about FOG?

Free Open Source Quote and Invoice Software
2011-12-21 09:00:00 In the IT world we deal with a lot of different VARs (Value Added Resellers) to provide us with quotes for purchasing hardware and software. A couple of my vendors use an online quote and invoice management service called Autotask. It's pretty handy, when I ask for a quote on a product, they load it into Autotask and it emails me a link that is good for 30 days or something. If I decide to buy, they can turn around and use that same quote to invoice me, and provide me with a receipt.Now I'm not sure how much Autodesk runs, but I'm sure it isn't cheap. At the beginning of the month I wrote a post on why new business start-ups should use open source instead of paying for expensive software and services like Autodesk. I mentioned a few types of products one can find an open source alternative for, and I found another one to add to the list. It's an open source Invoice, and quote management system called Simple Invoices.From their page:Simple Invoices is a free, open source, web ba...

Why Start-Ups Should Use Open Source
2011-12-07 09:00:00 I currently work for a relatively small start-up firm in La Jolla California, and it's budget time. I'm not going to lie, I am not fond of justifying IT spending, and it rather gets me sick to my stomach. To me IT spending is very necessary in this day and age. Everything runs on computers, and everything is stored as little ones and zeros on hard drives. You really can't escape it any more. If you are a technology company, which is to say you provide some kind of computer based product, IT spending is even more critical.Where I think a lot of start-ups go wrong is in their choice of software. You can't really get away from buying server hardware, but you can get away from spending gobs of money on software if you go with open source from the get go. Even if you have the money to spend on software, why would you not want to take that money and better spend it on faster, more robust hardware?What got me thinking of this is I recently got some quotes on VMware, and Microsoft for n...

Open Source Software To Be Used For E-Governance Projects
2011-07-08 06:09:00 The Economic Times carries a report on a draft policy which says all new E-Governance projects should use open source software on computers and attached devices. The Department of Information Technology which is behind the draft has put forward the draft to hardware manufacturers and others before finalizing it. A major benefit after this draft gets implemented is of course ‘saving money‘. Open source projects are available to use for absolutely no cost at all. In addition to that it would even give the implementing agencies control over their hardware and the ability to further customize it as per their needs. The report goes on to say that the Aadhar Project makes extensive use of Blackberry phones, a closed platform. It is ironic that the government has been taking steps to jeopardize the existence of Blackberry phones in India, and the same phones are being used in a very important government project. India has been a supporter of Free and Open source software...

The Importance of Library Level Integration in Open Source Environment
2011-03-19 09:03:00 By Jonathan FlackOpen Systems Engineer, Likewise SoftwareAs an Open Systems Engineer at Likewise Software I routinely encounter unique customer problems. Most of these problems require a clever solution which tends to be specific to the customer site.Earlier today, however, I got a query from an Ubuntu user that really made me consider how important library level integration by application developers can be when administering an open source environment. A lot of vendors out there provide free solutions without being open source, and a lot of these solutions solve one problem or another in your environment, but it's rare to come across a piece of software that really cleanly integrates into your deployed OS in a way that provides a multitude of very clean solutions to everyday problems.This user had a simple Linux application for which he needed to verify user authentication by simply passing the username and password to generate a pass/fail response.

Symbian OS, Now Fully Open Source
2010-02-06 06:06:00 As of 4th February, the source code of Symbian 3 mobile OS will be offered as a free open source download for anyone wanting to dabble with it. Nokia, which in 2008 had acquired Symbian and established the independent non-profit Symbian Foundation, has decided to publish the source code under the Eclipse Public License (EPL). Being the most widely distributed smartphone platform, this event marks the biggest relocation from proprietary to open source software in history. According to Larry Berkin, head of global alliances for the Symbian Foundation, there are currently 330 million Symbian-based mobile devices in use around the world. Five manufacturers build Symbian devices namely Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Fujitsu and Sharp.

Is Open Source Now Getting More Unopen?
2009-07-30 09:45:00 Shockingly yes, if nothing else in the mobile world. Dr Andreas Constantinou’s research report on Mobile megatrends in 2009 points out that now open is the new closed. Let’s quickly look at how OSI has defined Open Source Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in. Hence, Open Source is basically an approach which let’s a vendor/developer benefit from the community effort and in-return makes sure the vendor contributes to the community in re-turn. Android, Sybmian and Limo are Open source, great!! So why are they closed?

The main cause of the formation of such a Lab was to make sure that their customers, who are struggling with running Open-Source software’s along with the Microsoft Software’s, could find solutions. Now, what Microsoft has really done that is making this story. Microsoft has unleashed 20,000 lines of Linux Code to the Linux Kernel Community and to my surprise under the GNU General Public License V2 (notably the most preferred license by the Linux Community). This is indeed the first time that they have ever released their own code under GPL. What will the code do? The code includes three Linux Drivers necessary to enhance the performance of the Linux Operating System when virtualized on Microsoft’s Hyper-V Server 2008 virtualization software. Inspite of over 1000 developers for the open Source Co...

New open-source software permits faster desktop computer simulations of mol
2009-02-23 01:55:00 A snapshot from a molecular dynamic simulation of the folding of a mutant protein found in chicken intestines. New open-source software permits faster simulations of molecular motion on desktop computers.Whether vibrating in place or taking part in protein folding to ensure cells function properly, molecules are never still. Simulating molecular motions provides researchers with information critical to designing vaccines and helps them decipher the bases of certain diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, that result from molecular motion gone awry.In the past, researchers needed either supercomputers or large computer clusters to run simulations. Or they had to be content to run only a tiny fraction of the process on their desktop computers. But a new open-source software package developed at Stanford University is making it possible to do complex simulations of molecular motion on desktop computers at much faster speeds than has been previously possible."Simulations that u... |
