beautiful photostitching in Linux

5.5: web.cyb/mac#lion/photo stitch replacement:
. the new Lion system doesn’t include Rosetta,
which means the older PowerPC-only programs
can’t run on it;
so, I'm going to be out Canon's Photo Stitch?
what are some linux replacements?
. another term for Photo Stitching is Panoramas .
[6.11:
... and if linux doesn't work out;
Canon upgraded the PhotoStitch to work with Lion
(freeware -- not just an upgrade).

 6.19: have the cd?:
. there is also a version for Windows,
but it's only an upgrade,
you'll need the cd that came with your Canon .]

[6.19: tried the linux openware:
. after installing Hugin on linux
with Ubuntu's Software Center,
the tips suggested I see the tutorial;
and, trying that out, it was truly amazing .
. someone in 2007 said you had to install Enblend too,
but that seems to be already in place now .]

Fusion sharing external Linux drive #Mac #Vmware

9.22: cyb/mac/formats sharable with linux
9.30: intro:
. I have 2 machines: mac and linux,
and I want an external drive they can both use:
however last time I checked,
fusion couldn't allow a linux vm to
directly access a mac's external drive .
. if that is true, then I need some
mac drivers that access linux`ext{2,3,4} .
9.22: summary:
. it looks like the openware community
isn't really interested in ntfs support;
fat32 is sufficient if you minimize exposure:
having it mounted only for loading bak's,
and using that card only for a bak .
. I should use version control systems
to notice when corruptions have happened .

health advice on knol needs full disclosure

2.14: health/knol/CAVEAT:
. I'm an evangelist for the dieticians I believe in,
but I'm not myself a certified dietician;
I'm simply practicing my freedom to speak
(often against the GRAINS of
the current dietary professionals) .
. don't even bother with checking my references:
you need to see a doctor or certified dietician
before acting on this advice .
. moreover, keep in mind that my highest calling
is to keep finding the most healthful advice;
so, please read with an eye toward helping me
in this open source self-help effort .

proj.health/knol/CAVEAT added:
. added caveat to all health articles,
and also changed summary of
primary USA cancer source is mold toxins .

pc antivirus with avg

12.4: proj.addn/xpw/security/avg:

. look at avg free antivirus:

has download time cutoff issues;

... but softpedia.com points out that's just ms`ie: try firefox

[later I'd learn that you download a downloader]

web.addn/xpw/security.ware:

Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus 9.0.0.415

A file change monitor. Used with BlackICE Defender.

FileWatch (originally called ICEWatch 1.x)

can monitor a given file for changes.

Monitoring can detect file size changes or simply file writes,

both with minimal impact on system resources (no polling is performed).

The primary use of this utility is for monitoring

changes in the log file of a personal firewall program

and being able to spawn a separate application

when changes are detected,

but the tool can be applied to any number of other uses.

12.17: mis.addn/xpw/busy overnight with script:

. xpw is very busy with fan blaring

after seamonkey has found a script that won't quit?

and yesterday it kept thrashing?

re-login to flush things .

mis.addn/xpw/thrashing:

. get more fields in view that might be related to thrashing,

and give some idea if some app has a mem leak .

12.18: mis.xpw/Exploit Rogue scanner attacker:

. agv complains accessed file is infected:

antivirusguard22.com/1/img/listfile.js

threat name:Exploit Rogue scanner (type 961),

find out more: http://free.avg.com/us-en/virus-encyclopedia

. it wouldn't let me close the popup alert,

I used the close button, but after I did that it started scanning

until I closed the parent window .

. anyway,

there's the reason I don't have my password.file on this!

you have to be smarter than foggy headded about

whether all your browsers on every system have noscript

and whatever else ... .

. don't I have noscript on seamonkey?

maybe that was just mac, do it now .

. seamonkey did not record where it was coming

from with that rogue page .

[... not sure how I lost it; found history page later]

12.19: mis.addn/xpw/low v.mem with much page faulting:

. why is mem furiously page flipping right now?

I must have a virus;

see what is doing mem io and kill it: file explore? close;

seamonkey? kill process tree .

41: restart,

on the way out it said my v'mem was low,

so maybe things were just flipping because of a leak,

and the wild disk activity was gc

which it might do when it sees I have done much in a while

(mostly staring at the editor ) .

mis.addn/xpw.seamonkey/confused about history:

12.20:

. I did find history

and the link was found with the bad redirect:

http://antivirusguard22.com/1/?sess=%3DGG39jDwMS01MSZpcD03Mi4yMDAuMTI3LjE0NCZ0aW1lPTEyNjYxMgkMMQkN

. trying the newscientist.com site again,

http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/culturelab/2009/12/how-complexity-rules-our-lives.php

and this time the redirect was to

http://fast-scan37.com/1/?sess=%3DGGz9jDwMS01MSZpcD03Mi4yMDAuMTI3LjE0NCZ0aW1lPTEyNjYzMcgMMQkM

I again got another avg alert, again for

Threat name: Exploit Rogue scanner (type 992),

and it said threat was blocked .

. so then I searched the site for the original page:

http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/culturelab/2009/12/

how-complexity-rules-our-lives.php

seems to have something to do with

new-count.cn counting how many times you been there?

going to it again didn't result in a new redirect .

12.21:

. can't find any mention of the site;

whois claims it's available .

. might be some trick in the spelling of the name

or in some other way affects the say browser records the link ?

gpl can be american not communism

6.14:

co.apt/pol/gpl can be american not communism:

[. gpl was once accused of being unamerican communism

in that it stifled competition and reduced quality

by giving the masses low-quality but free substitutes .]

. the key to good competition while revealing source code,

is the fair use of software patents .

. patents are fair when they do not interfere with creativity:

there should be multiple algorithms for doing a job

and a patent goes to those who prove they have an algorithm that is not obvious,

and that is performing better than the obvious .

. even without patents,

the gpl doesn't require documentation be distributed;

so then openware can still demand pay for their programs

by having a copyright on their documentation .

[also, the original vision of the gpl

was that if we all bought your software,

we should be able to share improvements on your software .

. we are not locked into your unamerican but natural habit

of trying to lock us into buying an endless progression of fixes .

. gpl does not mean that we can share your code among

those who did not buy your program . ]
