NodeCopter Ideas

A brain dump of ideas for potential nodecopter projects

Acurate position feedback from kinect

Watch a flying nodecopter using a kinect, allowing for a much more precise positioning system and tighter feedback loop.

Flight recorder (and replayer)

Objective-C (to the tune of Under the Sea)

If you're shipping iOS apps,

and dream of the bucks you'll make,

you might think of "going native",

but Xcode's a big headache.

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

madrobby

function isRetina(){
  return (('devicePixelRatio' in window && devicePixelRatio > 1) ||
    ('matchMedia' in window && matchMedia("(min-resolution:144dpi)").matches))
}

## Most important settings

Create a new facebook app (1) and make sure the canvas url (2) in the basic tab matches the host and port configured with Capybara.server_port and Capybara.app_host. Activating sandbox mode (3) in the advanced tab enables you to roll without providing an SSL canvas url. You want to set the display mode (4) of your facebook dialogs to page, which is also the default.

Chemex Quick Guide

Not this is rocket sience :)

Water

Fill the water heater with a finger more than 1 liter of water. Set it on its power-base, hit the button that’s all the way out on the handle. This starts the heating process. Now hit the “minus” (“-”) button so you see a red light on the 90° marker. Let it heat up. In the meantime:

Don't forget to look at the suggestions at the bottom, there's some cool stuff in there.
