Okay, last addition and then we'll put it to rest. For those freaks who enjoy a headache inducing andalucian colorsplash as a wallpaper, here's a multicolored version. <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="96" height="96"> <path d="M-2-2H98V98H-2z" fi...

Thanks solo and vovchik, two nice tiles for my collection :) This is how solo's looks when rox does the tiling on my 1440x900 monitor. That looks .....not so nice, step! I think there's an issue with how ROX handles SVG transparancy. Here's the same tile, but this time I've put a colored rectangle ...

Thank you, sir! I'm going to challenge you to do any of the Alhambra tiles covering the full monitor area. If you're inspired and interested, of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra#In_mathematics You'll have to excuse me for picking a relatively simple pattern. Making a mosaic from scrat...

Spiroj - spirograph graphics - exports to SVG

Found this little program at Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/spiroj/?source=directory It's Java, so you only have to unpack it somewhere and click on SpiroJ.jar in the SpiroJ folder for it to run. Of course, you also need to have your Java sfs loaded One of the nice things about it is ...

Re: @overall net security (& freedom) purposes, was this wise??

You know, I should really look at getting a place at that retirement oasis of Chongjin or, maybe even Duba. Among many things, most definitely will have more net and free speech freedoms there and not have to worry about the big, bad things the US guv does to their citizens. Well, you had to go the...

Using Shinobar's portable FF on Precise 5.7.1, but had to turn off automatic updates because FF required GTK3 to run, and I don't want to go through the motions of updating GTK with all the hassle that comes with it. Using FF 44 now, and the only add-on I have is NoScript, which is perfectly safe, b...

If you have gained an awareness that a government body you work for is comitting crimes against its own people, then it is in fact your moral obligation to expose this knowledge.

It appears that Solo's locale uses 'comma' instead of 'dot' as a decimal separator. If so, all '0.5' values must be replaced with '0,5' (wallmaker, lines 515-516). Yes. Confirmed! When the dots are replaced by comma's, wallmaker works as intended. Incidentally, my locale is the Netherlands, and yes...

There's also this initiative, which, before anyone starts, will also be available without Windows 10. That is of course, if they ever meet their Kickstarter goal.
