european panoramas, part 1
Throughout our tour, Stephanie and I have been capturing some of our sights through photography that can be processed into three-dimensional panorama scenes. The following are some of our favorites:
Nordkennemerland dunes near Den Helder, Holland. Alexanderplatz and the Hauptbahnhof (central train station) in Berlin, Germany. Dresden cityscape from the Augustusbruecke over the Elbe River. City wall around Luxembourg. Monk statue outside a village along the Alsatian Wine Route. Ruins of Castle Ortenbourg. Vineyard on the Schlossberg in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
Youth hostel at Schlossli Altenburg in Brugg, Switzerland. Sunset along the Swiss National Cycling Route #8 in Heimberg, Switzerland. Alpine perspective outside of the town of Stechelberg at the end of the Lauterbrunnen Valley. From the panorama path on Schynige Platte near Interlaken, Switzerland. Near Oberberghorn along Schynige Platte.
using flash with drupal
welcome to a new arithmetric.
if you have adobe flash player installed, you should be reading this post in a flash-based interface. some directions for use: the green boxes on the left side represent my images, the red boxes at the bottom are my articles, and the blue boxes on the right side are notes. if you'd prefer the html version of the site, please navigate here.
this is the result of some recent work with drupal services, a module that provides remote access to the drupal subsystem, and with amfphp, an open-source php-based implementation of adobe's action message format. amf is the native communication protocol of adobe flash, flex, and air. its specification was opened recently by adobe.

what you can do with a meraki
meraki is building wireless networking hardware that aims 'to bring internet access to the next billion people.' their products (including the meraki mini for $49, pictured) are wireless router/repeaters with applicious design. a meraki can be used to create a public or private wireless access point from an ethernet connection (from a cable/dsl modem) or from another wireless network. merakis are designed to create mesh networks, meaning that meraki devices can look for routes to the internet through other merakis in wireless range, rather than each requiring its own direct connection to the internet.
