If the JUCY Excess Reduction has not been selected, customers are required to leave a bond of NZD $3000 at time of pick-up.
For security reasons, only a credit card can be used to provide a bond. The credit card holder must be present and able to sign for the bond at time of pick-up. If the vehicle is returned damaged, the bond will be held and used to cover the cost of the damage up to the amount of relevant liability. If the terms of the Rental Contract are breached, and the bond is insufficient to cover the damage, any extra cost will be charged to the customer.
a) If the RISK-TAKER or CHANCE-IT Excess Reduction Cover has been chosen, the Bond is payable by credit card only. Please note the relevant amount will be debited from the Hirer's credit card immediately. Subject to (b) below, the Bond is fully refundable provided the Vehicle is returned on time on the Return Date and to the Return Point, undamaged with a clean interior and with a full fuel tank.
b) The Hirer authorises JUCY to deduct from the Bond any amounts due by the Hirer to JUCY arising as a result of the Agreement, including the amount of any damage, the charges as set out in the Agreement and as listed in clauses RENTAL DURATION, PAYMENT BY HIRER, BOND, ADDITIONAL HIRE COSTS, TOLL NOTICES AND INFRINGEMENT FEES, MECHANICAL REPAIRS, ACCIDENTS AND EQUIPMENT FAILURE, RETURN OF THE VEHICLE and BREACH OF CONTRACT/TERMINATION. JUCY will give the Hirer notice, by contacting them at the email address specified in the Rental Agreement, of the deduction of such amounts.
c) JUCY reserves the right to retain all or part of the Bond for such period as JUCY may determine (acting reasonably) after the Term of Hire to cover the cost of un-notified damage, infringements or damage to third parties or their property. Once a refund is processed by JUCY, it may take five or more business days for the funds to become available.
d) In the event of an Excess Reduction Cover claim, to allow JUCY to determine who is at fault, the Bond may be retained by JUCY irrespective of who is at fault and such amount must be paid to JUCY (if not already held by JUCY) at the time the accident report is completed and not at the expiry of the Term of Hire. The Bond will be refunded only if JUCY is successful in recovering the complete cost of the damages from the third party. If JUCY is not successful in recovering the complete cost of the damages from the third party JUCY may retain all or part of the Bond being in respect of such amount of damages that JUCY was not able to recover from the third party provided that JUCY shall not be entitled to retain any amounts to the extent that any damages have been caused by or contributed to by a breach of the agreement or the negligent act, error or omission of JUCY or any of its officers, employees or agents. The Hirer acknowledges that third party claims can take many months to resolve.
e) As insurance is not compulsory in New Zealand there is no guarantee that these damages will be recovered, therefore where a third party causes damage, the Hirer is liable for damages as specified in their Rental Agreement and if JUCY is not able to recover from the third party the amount of the damages the Bond may not be refunded to the Hirer.
f) In the event of a replacement Vehicle is dispatched due to an accident, the applicable Bond will be twice that of the Bond for the original Vehicle.
g) In the event that a replacement Vehicle is given due to an accident, any Excess Reduction Cover taken is not transferable to the replacement Vehicle.
h) For the purposes of this clause BOND, 'damage' includes any and all damage to third party property (including vehicle(s), damage to the Vehicle including tyres and windscreens, towing and recovery costs, theft, fire, break-in or vandalism costs and the cost of the daily rental rate for the Vehicle for the period the Vehicle is unavailable for hire by JUCY due to repair.
i) Where the Vehicle has been returned during or outside office hours and the Vehicle has undiscovered damage to the windscreen or body that has not been reported or is not covered by the Hirer's chosen excess reduction cover, the Hirer will be contacted summarising the cost of repairs and charged for such repairs.
At the time that the customer collects the vehicle, JUCY will authorise the applicable excess to the customer's credit card.
Please note: this is not a charge, it is an authorisation made against their credit card. The release of the funds can take five or more working days to be processed depending on the customer's bank's procedures.
a) If multiple persons are described as the Hirer in the Rental Agreement, each person is jointly and severally responsible for all fees, charges and other obligations pursuant to the Agreement.

e) This clause will survive termination of the Agreement.

Information disclosure
In booking on this website you acknowledge that we disclose your information to your selected Supplier in order to provide the requested rental services.
Please note that some suppliers treat an amendment as a new booking and apply the rate current at the time the amendment is made to recalculate the entire booking amount (not just the days changed). If the rental period is increased, an additional deposit may be required. If the rental period is shortened which results in a reduction of the rental charges, the deposit amount will remain unchanged, and the difference between the original and revised deposit is forfeited (it cannot be used towards remaining rental charges). To request a change to a confirmed booking, please use the alterations request link on your confirmation. Any alterations are subject to availability and the approval of the supplier.

In such circumstances we will have no further liability to you.

Slow clap for Rashida Jones' recent take on Miley Cyrus types
Last fall, Rashida Jones was vilified when she went to Twitter to express her disdain for oversexualized images of young female celebrities. It would appear Jones is more committed to her cause than caring what the haters think, because she's not backing down.
"The year of the visible vagina"
In October 2013, Rashida Jones decided she had had enough of young female celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus and Rihanna shoving their lady parts in everyone's faces, and she took to Twitter to express her outrage. She tweeted, "This week's celeb news takeaway: she who comes closest to showing the actual inside of her vagina is most popular. #stopactinglikewhores. Let me clarify. I don't shame ANYone for anything they choose to do with their lives or bodies... BUT I think we ALL need to take a look at what we are accepting as 'the norm'... There is a whole generation of young women watching. Sure, be SEXY but leave something to the imagination."
Miley Cyrus nude on a horse: Proof she still doesn't get "sexy" >>
Jones' #stopactinglikewhores campaign didn't stop there. Because of the backlash her spot-on comments received, Jones said she learned a very valuable lesson about social media. The Parks and Recreation actress explains, "Twitter is a dark alley and you shouldn't go down it alone, because you'll get beat up."
A gay man's perspective: Rashida Jones' #girlsarewatching campaign >>
Jones was accused of being everything from anti-woman to anti-feminist because she dared to suggest that young women celebrities could do a better job with their responsibility as role models to other young women. When Jones was invited to write a column for Glamour, she used it as a platform to better explain what she meant by her Twitter rant, clarifying that there was nothing wrong with being sexy but that today's standard for "sexy" for teen and young adult girls has become oversexualized.
Kim Kardashian's army of celebrity clones grows >>
Back for more
On April 5 at the Women in the World Summit, Jones joined a panel to revisit the topic. Here are a few of our favorite quotes from what Jones had to say on the subject of overly sexualized images and acts of young female performers.
"It's not just Miley [Cyrus], you know. I don't blame anybody individually for their expression of themselves. I'm just worried about the collective messaging that's happening for girls."
"Say what you will. 'You're not a role model.' Fine, you are. You have no choice in the matter. You're selling tickets to lots of young girls."
"Young girls don't know the difference between what's real and what's entertainment."
"I mention in my article that men need to be a part of this conversation because what's ended up happening is it's a bunch of women just, like, duking it out between each other and we're not including men."
"You can't invest in your looks as your only thing because it's a depreciating asset. It's like putting money into a stock that's going down. Invest in your brain, invest in your talents. Those things can appreciate and they get better as you get older."

NEW Refer-a-friend Scheme
Saturday morning dental and hygiene appointments are available. Please phone reception for more details.
Wayside Dental Practice | Family Dentist in Harpenden, Hertfordshire & St Albans area
Wayside is the longest established practice in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. There have been few personnel changes in that time, most dentists staying for their entire careers. Continuity is a very important part of care and we are able to offer comprehensive treatments to our patients. Whilst still maintaining our profile as family dentists, as treatments become more high-tech and specialised, we will continue to provide new treatments, including the latest in teeth whitening, invisible braces and dental implants. An example is our recent investment in a CT scanner, to provide highly-accurate imaging with reduced radiation. This allows us to perform computer-guided surgery and implants, putting us literally on the cutting edge of dentistry!
We were inspected by the Care Quality Commission on 15th December 2015. We were delighted with their report- click here to see it.

Match Day is a storied tradition in the life of a medical student. The third Friday in March marks the day when across the nation, at noon Eastern time, medical students find out where they will do their residencies.
Match Day is a storied tradition in the life of a medical student.
The third Friday in March marks the day when across the nation, at noon Eastern time, medical students find out where they will do their residencies.
On Friday in the Grand Ballroom at the Reitz Union, it was an exciting day for the 125 students soon to graduate from the University of Florida College of Medicine. Each student had their moment on stage, when they stood at the podium, opening the envelope with the name of their residency program inside, and announcing it to the crowd of families, friends and other supporters providing cheers.
John Ryder, 29, was one of the many euphoric students: Ryder is headed back north, to Dartmouth University, for his residency in psychiatry. After college at Harvard University, he picked UF for medical school because he'd never lived in the South.
"I'm so glad I came here," Ryder said, adding that UF's program has been great preparation for the hard work ahead of him.
Like many medical students, Ryder came in with a fairly strong sense of what he wanted to pursue — neurology in his case. But along the way, he fell in love with another, related branch of medicine and will spend the next four years preparing to be an adult psychiatrist.
As for Match Day, Ryder called it "amazing."
"You've prepared for this all four years … when you finally get to be that specialist, that physician," he said.
■ ■ ■
For the medical school faculty, Match Day is rewarding as well. Dr. Patrick Duff, the associate dean for student affairs and a professor of obstetrics and gynecology, said that an incredible process of maturation takes place during medical school, which culminates on this day.
"They start out like deer in the headlights," Duff said, adding that the speed and volume of information first-year medical students are presented with has a fire-hose effect.
The first year for many students is about making that adjustment; the second year involves preparing for the medical licensing exam. The third year is spent in clinical clerkships, and the fourth in looking ahead to the residency.
Students started the application process for residencies last September, Duff said. "It's an exciting but uncertain process," he said. "They have to have blind faith."
The actual matching process — which is based on an algorithm developed by Harvard economist Alvin Roth — lasts three weeks, starting the last Wednesday in February and ending the third Monday in March.
"It's a win-win game," for both students and residency programs, Duff said, adding that only about 2 percent of students will be disappointed by their match, but that is usually straightened out so that everyone is content heading off to their residencies.
Matching can be particularly challenging when medical student couples are involved.
"You have to cast your fate with someone else," Duff said.
This year, 26 UF students (13 couples) matched to programs together.
■ ■ ■
UF medical students are increasingly going into primary care, an encouraging trend given the nationwide shortage of primary care physicians. This year, 47 percent of the class will go into a primary care specialty, which includes internal medicine, pediatrics, family medicine and OB-GYN. That's up from 41 percent last year.
"That's good for us," said Dr. Michael Good, dean of the College of Medicine. "We're doing our part."
Good said that students are especially interested in family medicine, perhaps owing to the strength of the UF program in that field — and the clinical experience students are able to gain at facilities such as the UF Health Family Medicine at Main Street, which opened nearly two years ago.
Good also touted the fact that all 125 students actually matched into a residency program. Matching isn't a given, since the nation falls short of residency programs for the number of medical students it graduates.
That is because over a decade ago the Association of American Medical Colleges recognized the imminent shortage of doctors and encouraged medical schools to increase their student numbers, Good said, adding that UF increased its student enrollment to about 130 students per class, up from 100 prior to 2000.
But residency programs did not increase at the same rate, leaving a number of students without a program to jump into right after medical school.
UF students typically place because the school has a strong reputation, especially in clinical experience, Good continued.
"They know they are getting someone who is competent and skilled," he said.
UF's residency program also attracts some of the best and the brightest: This year, students will be coming from illustrious medical schools such as Johns Hopkins University and the University of California-San Francisco, Good said.
Twenty-three percent of UF's class will remain at UF for their residency — the same as last year, while 36 percent will stay in Florida, up from 31 percent last year.

Author Notes: A subtly sweet Spanish dessert ~ perfect for end of summer days. —TammyRenea
Serves: 12
ounces semi-sweet chocolate
cup milk plus 3 tbsp
1 1/2
sticks of butter, cut into tbsp size pieces
eggs, separated
cup sugar plus 1 tbsp
tablespoons Licor 43 or rum (optional)
Maria Cookies
- Heat chocolate and 3 tablespoons of milk over low heat stirring until melted and well combined. Add the butter a piece at a time and stir until completely incorporated. Remove from the heat.
- Add egg mixture to the chocolate and thoroughly incorporate. Completely cool the mixture in the refrigerator.
- When mixture is completely cooled, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. (Do not over beat.) Add egg whites to cooled chocolate mixture and mix well.
- Heat 1 cup of milk with Licor 43 and a tablespoon of sugar until very warm. Remove from the heat.
- Dip cookies into warm milk and begin the bottom layer of the cake by laying the cookies in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping. (I used the outside of an 8" springform pan as a mold.) Pour some of the chocolate mixture over the top and spread to cover all the cookies. Make the next layer of cookies the same as the first. Repeat 3 more times. (There should be 4 layers of cookie and chocolate if using an 8" diameter mold.)
- Reserve any leftover cookies for crushing and garnishing. Refrigerate cake in the mold in the refrigerator for 5 hours. Remove mold and garnish with crushed cookies.

William Floyd Memorial Library, First Street, Greenport. Through Aug. 25. 477-0660.
In 1952, when the German photographer Ingeborg Tallarek arrived in New York, she was immediately struck by the captivating quality of American light. She decided to make her home here and eventually moved to East Marion, where she still lives. Sadly, her career was derailed after all her cameras and darkroom equipment were stolen in the mid-1970's. Nevertheless, many of the images she created establish her as a notable member of the small sisterhood of early freelance photographers that includes Margaret Bourke-White, Berenice Abbott and Dorothea Lange.
But unlike those women, whose achievements have been honored in solo exhibitions, Ms. Tallarek has never before had a one-woman show. Although some of her pictures have been widely reproduced, there is no publication devoted to her work. This is the first opportunity to see a sizable group of her prints, including portraits, photojournalism and North Fork landscapes, and it should not be missed.
Ms. Tallarek's assignments led her to a diverse range of subjects, from political heavyweights, artists and movie stars to anonymous firefighters and children living in poverty. One of her best-known images shows two unidentified Hasidim in Central Park. Although their backs are to the camera, one can imagine their fascinated expressions as they study a skywriter's tick-tack-toe game. The volunteers battling a blaze on a Provincetown rooftop are also unnamed, but their heroism is dramatized by the smoke and sparks surrounding them.
Images that capture Marilyn Monroe's candid sensuality, Marlene Dietrich's detached hauteur (juxtaposed with her daughter's shy reserve) and Eleanor Roosevelt's audience with members of the Women's Press Corps stand out as prime examples of the photographer's ability to reveal intimate dimensions of celebrated subjects. Her shot of a fainting Miss America at the 1952 beauty pageant exposes the private tension behind the public performance.
'Footfalls '99'
Greenport. Through Sept. 26.
Fourteen artists have created site-specific sculptures for this year's group of outdoor installations in and around the village. Many respond to the area's maritime heritage, while some relate to issues of communal space and civic responsibility.Continue reading the main story
The facade of the library, where Ingeborg Tallerek's photographs are on view inside, serves as a forum for Poppy Johnson's Keatsian equation, ''Beauty Is Truth.'' Bold banners proclaim the equivalence, rendered in pointillistic painted letters that strike a note of subjectivity to counter the statement's authority. An even more authoritative document, the United States Constitution, provides the text for Gary Rieveschl's ''We the People,'' a sculpture of privet hedges that vitalizes words to symbolize the living nature of participatory democracy.
The port and its history inspired Andre Kreft to memorialize the slaves who came to the area by sea and whose gravestones are often blank. His grid of 20 boulders, extending from the beach into the water, is revealed as the tide recedes, poignantly indicating the slaves' marginal status and reminding viewers of their tragic journey from distant shores.
Mel Pekarsky's ''Ghosts'' is a different kind of memorial, one that pictures a solitary bush in a barren twilight landscape. Its sparseness stands in sharp contrast to the bustle and clutter of the nearby ferry dock and restaurant, highlighting human intrusiveness on nature's fragility.
''Tourist Trap,'' a wood construction by Bennett Blackburn, is a more lighthearted commentary on human intrusion. Resembling an oversize lobster trap, the enclosure has lawn chairs for the comfort of those it snares. Louise O'Regan Clark's imposing compasslike structure alludes to navigation as the guiding principle of maritime life. Like the skeleton of an old-fashioned three-dimensional trade sign, Ed Smith's ''Lure'' pays nostalgic tribute to the artist's memories of fishing in childhood, when the catch was plentiful and life seemed less complicated.
'The Search For the Pictorial'
Oysterponds Historical Society, Village Lane, Orient. Through Sept. 26. 323-2480.
Subtitled ''The Life and Art of William Steeple Davis,'' the exhibition traces the career of a self-taught painter, printmaker and photographer whose memorial trust supports residencies at the Davis home and studio on King Street. Last year's resident scholar, Kimberly Rhodes, catalogued his work and organized the show, which is to travel to the Museums at Stony Brook next year.
Born in Orient in 1884, Davis spent most of his life in his native village. His family encouraged his artistic aspirations, but he never received formal training. His 1909 self-portrait shows a serious, rather shy young man studying his own reflection. Its color scheme and composition indicate familiarity with Whistler's work, which he apparently knew from reproductions. His primary inspiration, however, was the surrounding landscape and seascape, and he regularly sent paintings of those subjects to exhibitions in New York City and elsewhere. He also worked as a commercial illustrator, making paintings for reproduction on calendars, book and magazine covers, and post cards.
Although Davis received modest financial reward and recognition for his paintings, they are not his most notable achievement. His oil technique is uneven, and his larger canvases are often contrived and sentimental. His sketches and pastels, on the other hand, are fresh and lively, and he had a particular talent for printmaking. Subjects that he overworked in oil are treated with sensitive economy in etchings like ''Racing Along,'' a study of competing yachts, and block prints like ''In Tumult,'' showing surf pounding against a massive rock.
But Davis' most significant work was in photography. He began photographing seriously as a teen-ager, wrote prolifically on the subject and invented a developing machine that he patented and marketed. The show includes a fine selection of his prints, illustrating an esthetic rich in tonal nuance and allied with the Pictorial ist movement championed by Alfred Stieglitz and his contemporaries. Whatever his shortcomings as a painter, Davis deserves recognition for this all-but-forgotten body of work, as well as for the William Steeple Davis Trust, a legacy that allows succeeding generations of artists to live and work in his former home and find creative stimulation in the surroundings he loved.Continue reading the main story

In "The Fisher King," Terry Gilliam again pursues the Holy Grail, but without his zany Monty Python knights. This time he goes questing with a hilarious, heartbreaking Robin Williams, whose flashes of mad brilliance and moods of sad sweetness charge this fairy tale of the streets with soul and passion.
Gilliam's new film, based on a truly original screenplay by Richard LaGravenese, also draws emotional resonances from Amanda Plummer, who gives a fragile, tremulous performance as the distressed damsel who captures the heart of Williams' questing fool. Jeff Bridges, in the title role, and Mercedes Ruehl, as his lusty consort, also fill Gilliam's exploration of the dark side of Manhattan with aspects of love and troubled humanity. With Michael Jeter delivering a drag show-stopper as a gay cabaret player who has slipped to a shabby, crazy, lonely life on the sidewalks of New York, Gilliam's new film is an acting extravaganza, as well as a visual banquet.

Take part in the first Autonomous Robots International Challenge launched by Ferrovial and Ennomotive Published on 28/12/2016
Infrastructure company Ferrovial and Ennomotive, an open innovation company, are launching and organising the first Autonomous Robots International Challenge within the specialist robotics technology fair Global Robot Expo, to be held in Madrid from 2 to 4 February 2017.
This international challenge seeks to encourage engineers to submit projects for the development of a prototype robot which will in future serve as an autonomous materials transport vehicle in large construction works. The prototype must be of the Arduino or similar type, sensorised using IoT (Internet of Things) technology.
Ferrovial and Ennomotive will shortlist 10 of the best projects submitted to the competition in the first two days of the Global Robot Expo. On 4th February, the last day of the event, an exhibition will be held for the general public, showcasing the capacities of the shortlisted autonomous robots, after which prizes will be presented to the winners.
Robot technology is set to have a significant impact on infrastructure management, and Ferrovial is therefore currently working on applying it in all of its business areas. For example, it recently presented its A1A3 street cleaner robot at the Barcelona Smart City Expo. This robot is currently undergoing a trial period on the streets of Barcelona. A robot model is also being tested in Glasgow Airport for helping passengers.
Ferrovial's Innovation area delivers a large number of innovation projects annually in areas such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, 3D Printing, Robotics or Drones.
Take part in the Autonomous Robots International Challenge
To take part in the first Autonomous Robots International Challenge, please send a written proposal through Ennomotive's online platform. You must subsequently build the sensorised prototype that will take part in the challenge.
The deadline is January 22nd 2017
The content published on the Website in the News section does not constitute an official communiqué of Ferrovial; the company's official announcements are published specifically in the Press Room as "Press Releases".

The Maker Show: Episode 6 - Soldering Basics
20 hours ago, FrankLaVigne wrote
@dentaku:thanks for the tip. I'm still a soldering n00b. :) I'll practice more and shoot another video with lessons learned. :D
There's al lot you can learn from watching Dave Jones's videos.
there are other soldering videos out there that show you what military regulations require but they're ridiculous. No average person would bother soldering like that. :)
By the way, this ancient PACE video is still totally useful today. It also explains the importance of flux which some people add to their PCB before soldering but for something like a new untarnished logic level translator like you have you can just rely on the flux already in the core of your solder.
Does the other side of you spool of solder show if I has flux in the core? The image you show in the video doesn't mention it on the label.
The Maker Show: Episode 6 - Soldering Basics
I'm not trying to be a troll, just giving you some advice.
Touch the iron to the copper pad on the PCB AND the pin at the same time then touch the solder to the opposite side of the pin.
You were just touching the top of the pin and hoping the solder melts so you ended up with rather ugly looking joints.
For soldering 0.1 inch headers like that you're better off forgetting the helping hands and just plugging it all into a breadboard, using it as a jig, so everything lays flat and square.
Part 2 of this three part series by Dave Jones is a good place to start.
Defrag Tools #106 - Larry Osterman - 30 Years - Part 1
This is the first C9 video I've watched in a while but how could I resist Larry Osterman's stories :)
Edge Show 98 - Windows 8.1 Update
Having the boot to desktop mode, new minimize/close buttons, desktop background in new start menu, taskbar in fullscreen modern apps and store apps in the taskbar have made Win8's interface so much less claustrophobic for us desktop/mouse users.
A few little things has made a big difference. For non-techy people, just the close X and the more obvious shutdown icon is a big deal to make it less scary.
One thing that's still missing in this update which would force me to use a different browser is the lack of a way to turn on Cleartype in IE11 with Win8.
My eyes simply cannot stand reading text without Cleartype.
I know all the reasons why this has been done (it doesn't work right in portrait mode or on pentile displays etc.) but just like the new changes are for people who use mice instead of touch, the ability to use Cleartype in IE11 would be great for those of us who use displays that will never be used any other way than in landscape mode.
Sequencers, Synthesizers, and Software, Oh My! Building Great Music Creation Apps for Windows Store

How about RTP-MIDI built-in?
Absolutely... totally agree
A tablet is fine as a controller but a more powerful PC is always better for the actual sound creation so linking them together wirelessly is the obvious way to do it.
I'm going to watch the video now, hopefully there's something that least you add virtual MIDI devices in Win8.1 without having to rely on stuff like Midi-Yoke.
Ping 190: Surface 2, SteveB's Last Song, iPhone Trade-in, and Apps Sharing Limits
It's been quite a while since I watched an episode of Ping. It's good to have more technical people hosting Ping.
As for add-ons for the Surface it would be great to have a keyboard layed out like the Grantophone app. The advantage would be that it's pressure sensitive, unlike a touchscreen.
A Harpejji style keyboard or a hexagonal one like the AXIS 64.
Having the current one with the faders and the MPC style pads show up in any app as a standard MIDI controller would be great too.
It's pretty much useless without MIDI support.
Surface Remix Project
12 hours ago, Trillian wrote
This is an interesting idea, but I feel like MIDI support in WinRT would be more useful in making the Surface a great tool for remixers and composers.
If anyone reading C9 has ANY influence on how MS products are developed, you just made a very good point and I hope they know this.
Also... This touchcover is a step in the right direction but if it can't send MIDI with it (even in full Win8) then it's as good as useless for musicians. I don't know enough about it yet to tell if it DOES support MIDI, hopefully I'm wrong.
Assuming it doesn't send MIDI data, it seems to me that it wouldn't be difficult to build some software that converts it's output to regular MIDI which can then be sent through MIDI-Yoke or something like that to any application.
Surface Remix Project
The first thing I though about when I saw a touchcover was that it would be possible to make a MIDI controller with it much like the AKAI MPC FLY.
I've been following Open Labs for many years and it's interesting to see this because I'm assuming this came about because of Linkin Parks connection with Open Labs and their use of Windows in their instruments.
I wonder if Stagelight is optimized for small touchscreens like the Surface Pro.
FL Studio Groove looks like it definitely is.
Channel 9 turns 9!
There's not a while lotta pixels in some of the early videos
Charles and Dan has acquired quite allot of grey hair in these 9 years too.
TWC9: IE10 for Win7, VS Guides, Image Watch, Tons of Training and more
So, can anyone assure me that IE10 in Win7 still uses Cleartype?
If Cleartype is always off in IE10 like it is in Win8 then I'm not going to be able to use it.
No Cleartype = my eyes watering within a few minutes of using it
Netduino, GDI and a playable Invaders-like game...
That's exactly the same breadboard as I got very recently. Did yours smell like mothballs really strong when you first got it?
I'm very new to this and just messing with basic stuff at the moment so I haven't tried an kind of "duino" anything yet.
If I did I would be more interested in using it for making MIDI controlling devices and maybe some sort of MIDI to CV converter.
Windows Phone 8, Netduino and Bluetooth...
That's great. I love seeing people experimenting with things like this. More people need to start creating instead of just buying gadgets and consuming.
