# I like to set up a c9.io ssh workspace for terminal access and editing files.
# In order to do that it's necessairy to install a recent version of node.js
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y gcc g++ make nodejs git
# This is the c9 set-up script. I'm not positive it will remain valid forever.
curl https://raw.github.com/c9/install/master/install.sh | bash
# You will also need to add your c9 key to .ssh/authorized_keys

FLOSS Weekly

A talk show about open source software. Every week a different open source project is featured along with a guest who is somehow involved in it.

Clarksworld Magazine

SciFi short stories. These are some of my favorites:

• The Urashima Effect

//Implementation of Fastie's macro for identifying emission or absorption lines
//see: https://github.com/jywarren/spectral-workbench/issues/184
/*
Description:
To objectively determine the wavelengths of emission or absorption lines,
you have to separate signal from noise in a graph of wavelength intensities.
Especially when looking for peaks or valleys that disrupt a continuous (black body radiation) spectrum,
the low frequency (maybe > 20 nm) information becomes noise.
To eliminate it, fit a cubic spline or other easily adjustable curve to each color channel separately.
Compute the deviations of each channel from its curve and average the three new curves into a single curve,

zoho mail Webmail provider that supports custom domains (see also: mail.live.com)

mx domain lookup Used it to debug issues when setting up custom email domains.

image proxy Caches and resizes images for websites

picozu web image editor I like this one because there is no sign-up and you can drag and drop onto it.
