Exacto.

Exacto knife to an existing page. One nice thing is that if you find a page with an educational tool that you need, under certain circumstances, you can save the page for later use. In some cases, if it is going into an educational environment, the advertisements have to go away. That is what was done with this web page. See pictures. You will also need to save the images and then edit the code to look for them locally. for example we have a web page that has the script we want to use and the dots represent code that is not needed, we can just remote those unneeded lines lined. before: [code] <html> <body> <h1>My First Web Page</h1> ... ... ... ... .... .... <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("<p>" + Date() + "</p>"); </script> ... ... ... ... </body> </html> [/code] after; [code] <html> <body> <h1>My First...

Couple of legacy web tricks.

Legacy way to combine text and a graphic. <table>     <tr>         <td>                 <img src="prof.png" alt="">        </td>        <td>06/01/2008 The Info pages are done <br> 06/09/2008 Locally on-line as of 03/05/2008 <br> 06/08/2009 Some web pages updated <br> 06/30/2010 Redoing student services web pages. <br> 09/15/2014 Menus are restructured        </td>    </tr> </table ---------------------------------- Change text in many files with one command. Say you want to duplicate some web pages to another server, but the web server names are different. That means all the links in the pages will be wrong. For example take the following simple web page: [code] <html> <t...

Chitchat.

According to WSJ: “The pay-TV industry lost about 400,000 subscribers in the second quarter, the latest sign that cord-cutting may be under way.” Maybe? it is underway. But what worries me is that people are not really cutting the cord completely. They are just replacing it with another cable via the internet.  What is really gained? Must of connected an lm35de wrong it smoked real bad. ———————————————————————————————- You might already have access to the program you need: $sudo apt-cache search progname | grep detailof progname ———————————————————————————————- Extract animated gif convert p5.gif preggo%05d.jpg Create animated gif $ convert preggo%05d.jpg p6.gif ———————————————————————————————- Ubuntu’s own server seem to have dropped the ball on security. Apparently, Apple servers did so also. Why get an rf modulator, when you can use an old vcr. Dear vendors: if you have to give an email address to get an item, it is NOT FREE.  ——————————————————...

Names changed to protect the innocent.

Say you want to duplicate some web pages to another server, but the web server names are different. That means all the links in the pages will be wrong. For example take the following simple web page: [code] <html> <title> Offshore Educators (C1001) </title>  <title> Send us some comments </title>  <body bgcolor="aquamarine">     <CENTER><h2><B><I>Offshore Educators</I></B></h2></CENTER> Sylabus: C1001 - Introduction to computing 1. <hr> <br> <p> This course introduces students to fundamental hardware concepts in the use of microcomputers and to some practical applications of software. The course focuses primarily on word processing, spreadsheets and business charts and presentation software using the Open Office products on the Linux platform. The course examines the use of computers for communication and collaboration including e-mail, conferencing...

My old pads.... and squeeze a video.

Image
Hope to have an Ipad2 soon to show. Squeeze a video. I may have talked about this before, but I just wanted to spent a bit more time on it. I hear people complain all the time that they do not have enough space to hold all of their allegedly legitimate movie backups. I am concerned with space also but just for the movies we make ourselves. They are usually .avi format. Usually it takes two commands to get the files to the .ogv (ogg video) format. The .ogv formatted files can be at least 1/3 smaller than the original .avi file. Not only do the .avi files consume space but take a lot longer to upload. Usually it takes two commands to get the job done. I made a special command file to deal with converting one file to save a log of typing. sv.sh 01 echo Squeezing video of $1.avi 02 echo -------------------------------------------------- 03 echo Going from avi to mpeg. 04 ffmpeg -i $1.avi -b 100000k -ab 128k -ar 44100 $1.mpeg 05 06 echo Avi to mpe...
