Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 268 diseños de 70 diseñadores freelance.
nexoss is a new organisation based in Australia. We're looking primarily for a company logo for business cards, a website, and other company materials.
We are a high-tech consulting company offering professional services to the Telecommunications industry. We specialise in OSS (Operational Support Systems) which support processes such as maintaining network inventory, provisioning services, configuring network components, and managing faults.
The meaning behind the name may be important, and may provide some ideas!!! "Nexus" represents a "link"/connection or the centre of something.We see NE referring to Network Engineering / Network Elements (meaning the physical infrastructure or devices that provide a transmission) X can represent the mix, simplification between the network, and systems/processes/people OSS refers to Operational Support Systems- Leading edge Design, think creative! I cant!!
- Minimal Colors (Pastels, nothing bright)
- Happy for the method for displaying nexoss to be challenged i.e "nexoss" "NExOSS" "neXOSS"
- Maybe some definition around the X?
- A logo which reflects the industry we are in. Network Oriented/Next Gen/ Convergence

English Teacher
Hi everyone! What do you think of the follwing ideas? (that's what my supervisor asked me to do, but i still find difficulties to follow these steps ) heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
Before i do any lesson plan, I do my UNIT ROADMAP first . While designing my UNIT ROAD MAP, I select 3 main content areas from this UNIT : Grammar , Skill and Vocabulaty.
a) I divide the whole Grammar practice of the UNIT in 3 sub-parts (grammar1,grammar2 and grammar3). Each ONE subpart of grammar is to be taught during 20 to 25 mns in class, within a different lesson.
b) I divide the whole Skill practice of the UNIT in 3 sub-parts (skill practice 1(reading-writing integrated),skill practice2 (listening-speaking integrated), and skill practice3 (listening-speaking integrated). Each ONE subpart is to be taught during 20 to 25 mns in class, within a different lesson.
c) Before teaching each subpart of the 6 subparts above (3 for grammar & 3 for skill ), i need to make sure i have already taught all the vocab. Items that go with it : I teach this vocabulary during the 1st 20 mns of each lesson.
N.B Every hour, the 1st 20 mns is devoted to vocabulary teaching.

As far I remember, the tuner finally did take all initialization sequences and should be ready for analog TV, but we never saw a "lock" on a signal reported with tuner debug=1. My last idea on it was, that there must me at least some undiscovered antenna RF input switching, but might be wrong and even more complicated. Should be on archives like marcs under ASUS WIFI-TV in the subject. Can't tell, if for example regspy.exe from DScaler (deinterlace.sf.net) for gpio settings can lead any further in this case.

Faculty & Staff Tickets
To apply for faculty/staff season tickets, download the appropriate form and submit to the Athletic Ticket Office. You must be a full-time University of Nebraska-Lincoln employee to qualify, and quantities may be limited. If you held season tickets last year, you will automatically be sent an invoice to renew. If your employment status has changed, please call the Ticket Office to be sure you are still eligible for faculty/staff tickets. Acceptance of payment does not guarantee tickets, as eligibility is based on your employment status at the time of the first game of the season. Faculty/staff discounts are not offered for single game purchase.
Football and volleyball faculty/staff season tickets are on a waitlist basis. This means you must first fill out the waitlist application and if seats are available we will bill you at a later date. If we are not able to help you with seats, you must continue to apply every year as waitlist applications are not carried over from year to year.
Retired University of Nebraska-Lincoln faculty and staff may retain season tickets that have been held for at least ten consecutive years throughout retirement. Spouses of deceased faculty and staff may retain tickets for five years after the death of their spouse. Employee tickets are not transferable.
If you wish to inquire about tickets between seasons or don't see an application link below, please call Development and Ticketing at 472-3111.

Number of Pages: 23
This is a reproduction, not a photocopy, of an original Delta 10″ Tilting Arbor Unisaw Instruction Manual. This manual contains information on lubrication, adjustments, maintenance, and controls as well as a complete parts list with exploded view diagrams. There is a nice section on how to adjust the blade with the table and other adjustments. There is also a nice drawing of the parts.
If your machine looks similar to the one pictured, this manual should cover your machine. Delta/Rockwell changed the model number for every little change made on the machine including whether it was floor model or a bench model, the motor size, the spindle size, changes in magnetic switches, the type of fence, etc…For example the 15″ Drill Press in one Catalog had over 45 different model numbers listed for the same basic drill press that year.
I have collected this information for many years and have found the information they contain to be priceless in using and setting up the machines properly. I believe this manual will be a valuable resource of knowledge that will provide a lot of helpful information that is often hard to find. My manuals are not photocopies. I maintain a high standard of quality in my reproductions. Most of the manuals I reproduce look better than their originals. I have professionally digitally edited every page, and removed stains, wrinkles and handwriting. All of the manuals are printed on thick white paper to withstand shop wear and tear.

Bash/Prompt customization
Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary end There are a variety of possibilities for Bash's prompt (PS1), and customizing it can help you be more productive at the command line. You can add additional information to your prompt, or you can simply add color to it to make the prompt stand out. See this Forum thread for more informations and examples.

A well-established Bash color prompt
What follows is a well-proven way to color the Bash prompt. It is the most widespread Bash color scheme in the GNU/Linux world. Here is a preview of how it will appear:
-- Woody Allen
andy@alba ~ $ ls
Desktop Documents Music public.desktop
andy@alba ~ $ I\ will\ try\ to\ type\ a\ wrong\ command...
bash: I will try to type a wrong command...: command not found
andy@alba ~ :( $ echo 'Hello world!'
Hello world!
andy@alba su
Two can Live as Cheaply as One for Half as Long.
-- Howard Kandel
alba ~ $ _
It's a generalized scheme for all users, so you should start removing your
~/.bashrc file and then modify the
/etc/bash.bashrc file and create a
/etc/DIR_COLORS file (but
~/.bashrc and
/etc/bash.bashrc can also cohabitate). Here is our possible version of this scheme for Arch (originally this scheme was created for Gentoo, but here are some important additions).
# /etc/bash.bashrc # # https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt # # This file is sourced by all *interactive* bash shells on startup, # including some apparently interactive shells such as scp and rcp # that can't tolerate any output.

This tip shows you how to use
/etc/skel/ directory to ensure that all new users on your system get the same initial settings.
/etc/skel/ directory is the directory used by
useradd to create the default settings in a new user's home directory.
To change the location of
/etc/skel/, edit
# useradd defaults file GROUP=100 HOME=/home INACTIVE=-1 EXPIRE= SHELL=/bin/bash SKEL=/etc/skel
Typically files included in
/etc/skel/ are
.rc files for shell initialization, but you could also include a
public_html directory, a custom
.dir_colors file, or anything else.
.bash_logout .bash_profile .bashrc .xinitrc .xsession
andy@alba /etc/skel $ _
For more information on customizing the
/etc/skel/ directory, type:
$ man useradd. See also: http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20031222-newsletter.xml.
Now, the
/etc/skel/.bashrc file is the
.bashrc file copyied into the home directory of each new user. It will look something like this:
# # ~/.bashrc # # If not running interactively, don't do anything [[ $- != *i* ]] && return alias ls='ls --color=auto' PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
As you can see, a
PS1 variable (i.e.: the prompt) is exported. So, if you had previously created a color prompt through the
/etc/bash.bashrc file, each user newly created, to see it, should delete the line
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
from his own
~/.bashrc. Accordingly, if you want to grant to newly created users to have the same colorfull
PS1, you should delete that line from
Example of cohabitation of /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc
~/.bashrc and
/etc/bash.bashrc can also cohabitate. Here is a possible example of a typical Arch user's
~/.bashrc file which can cohabit with the
/etc/bash.bashrc file proposed here, valid for all users. The output will remain coloured.
# # ~/.bashrc # # If not running interactively, don't do anything [[ $- != *i* ]] && return # pacman/yaourt aliases alias pac="sudo /usr/bin/pacman -S" # default action - install one or more packages alias paca="/usr/bin/yaourt -S" # default yaourt action - install one or more packages including AUR alias pacu="/usr/bin/yaourt -Syua" # '[u]pdate' - upgrade all packages to their newest version alias pacr="sudo /usr/bin/pacman -Rs" # '[r]emove' - uninstall one or more packages alias pacs="/usr/bin/pacman -Ss" # '[s]earch' - search for a package using one or more keywords alias pacys="/usr/bin/yaourt -Ss" # '[y]aourt [s]earch' - search for a package or a PKGBUILD using one or more keywords alias paci="/usr/bin/yaourt -Si" # '[i]nfo' - show information about a package alias paclo="/usr/bin/pacman -Qdt" # '[l]ist [o]rphans' - list all packages which are orphaned alias pacc="sudo /usr/bin/pacman -Scc" # '[c]lean cache' - delete all not currently installed package files alias paclf="/usr/bin/pacman -Ql" # '[f]iles' - list all files installed by a given package
Random quotations at logon
If you want a random quotation at logon (like Slackware) you must install Fortune. Fortune is a simple program that displays a pseudorandom message from a database of quotations at logon and/or logout. Type
pacman -S fortune-mod to install it, then uncomment the following line from our
/etc/bash.bashrc file:
# [[ "$PS1" ]] && /usr/bin/fortune
If you want to colorize (brown in this example) the random message from fortune, replace the previous commented text with:
[[ "$PS1" ]] && echo -e "\e[00;33m$(/usr/bin/fortune)\e[00m"
Colorized Arch latest news at logon
If you want to read the latest news from the Arch Official Website, instead of a random quotation from fortune, replace the following lines from our
/etc/bash.bashrc file:
# fortune is a simple program that displays a pseudorandom message # from a database of quotations at logon and/or logout. # Type: "pacman -S fortune-mod" to install it, then uncomment the # following line: # [[ "$PS1" ]] && /usr/bin/fortune
# Arch latest news if [ "$PS1" ]; then # The characters "£, §" are used as metacharacters. They should not be encountered in a feed... echo -e "$(echo $(curl --silent https://www.archlinux.org/feeds/news/ | sed -e ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g') | \ sed -e 's/&/\&/g s/<\|</</g s/>\|>/>/g s/<\/a>/£/g s/href\=\"/§/g s/<title>/\\n\\n\\n :: \\e[01;31m/g; s/<\/title>/\\e[00m ::\\n/g s/<link>/ [ \\e[01;36m/g; s/<\/link>/\\e[00m ]/g s/<description>/\\n\\n\\e[00;37m/g; s/<\/description>/\\e[00m\\n\\n/g s/<p\( [^>]*\)\?>\|<br\s*\/\?>/\n/g s/<b\( [^>]*\)\?>\|<strong\( [^>]*\)\?>/\\e[01;30m/g; s/<\/b>\|<\/strong>/\\e[00;37m/g s/<i\( [^>]*\)\?>\|<em\( [^>]*\)\?>/\\e[41;37m/g; s/<\/i>\|<\/em>/\\e[00;37m/g s/<u\( [^>]*\)\?>/\\e[4;37m/g; s/<\/u>/\\e[00;37m/g s/<code\( [^>]*\)\?>/\\e[00m/g; s/<\/code>/\\e[00;37m/g s/<a[^§]*§\([^\"]*\)\"[^>]*>\([^£]*\)[^£]*£/\\e[01;31m\2\\e[00;37m \\e[01;34m[\\e[00;37m \\e[04m\1\\e[00;37m\\e[01;34m ]\\e[00;37m/g s/<li\( [^>]*\)\?>/\n \\e[01;34m*\\e[00;37m /g s/<!\[CDATA\[\|\]\]>//g s/\|>\s*<//g s/ *<[^>]\+> */ /g s/[<>£§]//g')\n\n"; fi

Tom Gundersen wrote:
As systemd is now the default init system, Arch Linux is receiving minimal testing on initscripts systems. Due to a lack of resources and interest, we are unlikely to work on fixing initscripts-specific bugs, and may close them as WONTFIX.
We therefore strongly encourage all users to migrate to systemd as soon as possible. See the systemd migration guide [ https://www.archlinux.org/feeds/news/ ].
To ease the transition, initscripts support will remain in the official repositories for the time being, unless otherwise stated. As of January 2013, we will start removing initscripts support (e.g., rc scripts) from individual packages without further notice.

The number of bugs in the Arch Linux bug tracker is creeping up so it is time for some extermination.
This is a great way for the community to get involved and help the Arch Linux team. The process is simple. First look at a bug for your favorite piece of software in the bug tracker and check if it still occurs. If it does, check the upstream project for a fix and test it to confirm it works. If there is no fix available, make sure the bug has been filed in the upstream tracker.

With GNOME 3.6, polkit and networkmanager moving to [extra], ConsoleKit has now been removed from the repositories. Any package that previously depended on it now relies on systemd-logind instead. That means that the system must be booted with systemd to be fully functional.
In addition to GNOME, both KDE and XFCE are also affected by this change.

The base group now contains the systemd-sysvcompat package. This means that all new installations will boot with systemd by default.
As some packages still lack native systemd units, users can install the initscripts package and use the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf to start services using the legacy rc.d scripts.
This change does not affect existing installations. For the time being, the initscripts and sysvinit packages remain available from our repositories. However, individual packages may now start relying on the system being booted with systemd.
Please refer to the wiki [ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd ] for how to transition an existing installation to systemd.

The October release of the Arch Linux install medium is available for Download [ https://www.archlinux.org/download/ ] and can be used for new installs or as a rescue system. It contains a set of updated packages and the following notable changes:
* systemd is used to boot up the live system.
* initscripts are no longer available on the live system but are still installed by default on the target system. This is likely to change in the near future.
* EFI boot and setup has been simplified.
* gummiboot is used to display a menu on EFI systems.
* The following new packages are available on the live system: ethtool, fsarchiver, gummiboot-efi, mc, partclone, partimage, refind-efi, rfkill, sudo, testdisk, wget, xl2tpd

As is customary by now there is a new install medium available at the beginning of this month. The live system can be downloaded from Download [ https://www.archlinux.org/download/ ] and be used for new installs or as a rescue system.
In addition to a couple of updated packages and bug fixes the following changes stand out:
* First medium with Linux 3.5 (3.5.3)
* The script boot parameter works again (FS#31022 [ https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31022 ])
* When booting via PXE and NFS or NBD the ISO will be copied to RAM to ensure a more stable usage.
* The live medium contains usb_modeswitch and wvdial which e.g. allows to establish a network connection using an UMTS USB dongle
* Furthermore the newest versions of initscripts, systemd and netcfg are included.

Variations on a theme
Fere are some
PS1 variables (i.e.: prompts) with different layout to be applyied to our
/etc/bash.bashrc file. When you choose a layout you must replace the following lines from our
/etc/bash.bashrc file:
PS1="$(if [[ ${EUID} == 0 ]]; then echo '\[\033[01;31m\]\h'; else echo '\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h'; fi)\[\033[01;34m\] \w \$([[ \$? != 0 ]] && echo \"\[\033[01;31m\]:(\[\033[01;34m\] \")\$\[\033[00m\] " # Use this other PS1 string if you want \W for root and \w for all other users: # PS1="$(if [[ ${EUID} == 0 ]]; then echo '\[\033[01;31m\]\h\[\033[01;34m\] \W'; else echo '\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w'; fi) \$([[ \$? != 0 ]] && echo \"\[\033[01;31m\]:(\[\033[01;34m\] \")\$\[\033[00m\] "

Restoring the original /etc/bash.bashrc file
If you repent having modified the
/etc/bash.bashrc file, you can always restore the original Arch
/etc/bash.bashrc file from the bash package and remove the
/etc/DIR_COLORS file. Note that there is not an "official" bash.bashrc: each distribution has its own.
Original /etc/bash.bashrc from Gentoo
The original not modified Gentoo's
/etc/bash.bashrc file can be found here.
Step by step
If you want to create a style all your own, you can take a look at these tips. This Forum thread could give you more informations and examples.
Basic prompts
The following settings are useful for distinguishing the root prompt from non-root users.
- Edit Bash's personal configuration file:
$ nano ~/.bashrc
- Comment out the default prompt:
# PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
- Add the following green prompt for regular users:
PS1='\[\e[1;32m\][\u@\h \W]\$\[\e[0m\] '
- Edit root's .bashrc file; copy it from /etc/skel if the file is not present:
$ nano /root/.bashrc
- Assign a red prompt for root:
PS1='\[\e[1;31m\][\u@\h \W]\$\[\e[0m\] '
Slightly fancier prompts
- A green and blue prompt for regular users:
sample output text
chiri ~/docs $ _
PS1='\[\e[0;32m\]\u\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;34m\]\w\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;32m\]\$\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;37m\]'
This will give a very pleasing, colorful prompt and theme for the console with bright white text.
The string above contains color-set escape sequences (start coloring: \[\e[color\], end coloring: \[\e[m\]) and information placeholders:
- \u - Username. The original prompt also has \h, which prints the host name.
- \w - Current absolute path. Use \W for current relative path.
- \$ - The prompt character (eg. '#' for root, '$' for regular users).
The last color-set sequence, "\[\e[1;37m\]", is not closed, so the remaining text (everything typed into the terminal, program output and so on) will be in that (bright white) color. It may be desirable to change this color, or to delete the last escape sequence in order to leave the actual output in unaltered color.
- A red and blue prompt for root:
sample output text
root ~/docs # _
PS1='\[\e[0;31m\]\u\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;34m\]\w\[\e[m\] \[\e[0;31m\]\$ \[\e[m\]\[\e[0;32m\]'
This will give you a red designation and green console text.
Once you have made your changes to .bashrc, to execute your changes:
$ source ~/.bashrc
Advanced prompts
Load/Mem Status for 256colors
This is not even pushing the limits. Other than using 'sed' to parse the memory and load average (using the -u option for non-buffering), and the builtin history to save your history to your HISTFILE after every command, which you may find incredibly useful when dealing with crashing shells or subshells, this is essentially just making BASH print variables it already knows, making this extremely fast compared to prompts with non-builtin commands.
This prompt is from AskApache.com's BASH Power Prompt article, which goes into greater detail. It is especially helpful for those wanting to understand 256 color terminals, ncurses, termcap, and terminfo.
This is for 256 color terminals, which is where the \033[38;5;22m terminal escapes come from.

To use in commands from your shell environment:
$ echo -e "${bldblu}test"
$ echo -e "${undblu}test"
$ echo -e "${bakblu}test"
$ _
To use in a prompt (note double quotes to enable $color variable expansion and \[ \] escapes around them so they are not counted as character positions and the cursor position is not wrong):
PS1="\[$txtblu\]foo\[$txtred\] bar\[$txtrst\] baz : "
If you experience premature line wrapping when entering commands at the prompt then missing escapes is most likely to be the reason.
Prompt escapes
The various Bash prompt escapes listed in the manpage:
Bash allows these prompt strings to be customized by inserting a number of ''backslash-escaped special characters'' that are decoded as follows: \a an ASCII bell character (07) \d the date in "Weekday Month Date" format (e.g., "Tue May 26") \D{format} the format is passed to strftime(3) and the result is inserted into the prompt string an empty format results in a locale-specific time representation. The braces are required \e an ASCII escape character (033) \h the hostname up to the first `.' \H the hostname \j the number of jobs currently managed by the shell \l the basename of the shell's terminal device name \n newline \r carriage return \s the name of the shell, the basename of $0 (the portion following the final slash) \t the current time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format \T the current time in 12-hour HH:MM:SS format \@ the current time in 12-hour am/pm format \A the current time in 24-hour HH:MM format \u the username of the current user \v the version of bash (e.g., 2.00) \V the release of bash, version + patch level (e.g., 2.00.0) \w the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde \W the basename of the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde \! the history number of this command \# the command number of this command \$ if the effective UID is 0, a #, otherwise a $ \nnn the character corresponding to the octal number nnn \\ a backslash \[ begin a sequence of non-printing characters, which could be used to embed a terminal control sequence into the prompt \] end a sequence of non-printing characters The command number and the history number are usually different: the history number of a command is its position in the history list, which may include commands restored from the history file (see HISTORY below), while the command number is the position in the sequence of commands executed during the current shell session. After the string is decoded, it is expanded via parameter expansion, command substitution, arithmetic expansion, and quote removal, subject to the value of the promptvars shell option (see the description of the shopt command under SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below).
Positioning the cursor
The following sequence sets the cursor position:
The current cursor position can be saved using:
To restore a position, use the following sequence:
The following example uses these sequences to display the time in the upper right corner:
PS1=">\[\033[s\]\[\033[1;\$((COLUMNS-4))f\]\$(date +%H:%M)\[\033[u\]"
The environment variable COLUMNS contains the number of columns of the terminal. The above example substracts 4 from its value in order to justify the five character wide output of date at the right border.
Return value visualisation
Use this prompt if you want to see the return value of the last executed command.
#return value visualisation PS1="\$? \$(if [[ \$? == 0 ]]; then echo \"\[\033[0;32m\];)\"; else echo \"\[\033[0;31m\];(\"; fi)\[\033[00m\] : "
This will give you basic prompt:
0 ;) : false
1 ;( :
Zero is a green smiley (replace it with anything you want) and non-zero is a red one. So your prompt will smile if the last operation was successful.
But you will probably want to use the return value in your own prompt, like this:
0 ;) andy@alba ~ $ false
1 ;( andy@alba ~ $ _
with a code like this one:
#return value visualisation PS1="\[\033[01;37m\]\$? \$(if [[ \$? == 0 ]]; then echo \"\[\033[01;32m\];)\"; else echo \"\[\033[01;31m\];(\"; fi) $(if [[ ${EUID} == 0 ]]; then echo '\[\033[01;31m\]\h'; else echo '\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h'; fi)\[\033[01;34m\] \w \$\[\033[00m\] "
Here's an alternative that only include the error status if it is nonzero:
PROMPT_COMMAND='es=$?; [[ $es -eq 0 ]] && unset error || error=$(echo -e "\e[1;41m $es \e[40m")' PS1="${error} ${PS1}"
After reading through most of the Bash Prompt Howto, the author developed a color bash prompt that displays the last 25 characters of the current working directory. This prompt should work well on terminals with a black background. The following code goes in file
- Add the bash_prompt_command function. If you have a couple directories with long names or start entering a lot of subdirectories, this function will keep the command prompt from wrapping around the screen by displaying at most the last pwdmaxlen characters from the PWD. This code was taken from the Bash Prompt Howto's section on Controlling the Size and Appearance of $PWD and modified to replace the user's home directory with a tilde.
################################################## # Fancy PWD display function ################################################## # The home directory (HOME) is replaced with a ~ # The last pwdmaxlen characters of the PWD are displayed # Leading partial directory names are striped off # /home/me/stuff -> ~/stuff if USER=me # /usr/share/big_dir_name -> ../share/big_dir_name if pwdmaxlen=20 ################################################## bash_prompt_command() { # How many characters of the $PWD should be kept local pwdmaxlen=25 # Indicate that there has been dir truncation local trunc_symbol=".." local dir=${PWD##*/} pwdmaxlen=$(( ( pwdmaxlen < ${#dir} ) ? ${#dir} : pwdmaxlen )) NEW_PWD=${PWD/#$HOME/\~} local pwdoffset=$(( ${#NEW_PWD} - pwdmaxlen )) if [ ${pwdoffset} -gt "0" ] then NEW_PWD=${NEW_PWD:$pwdoffset:$pwdmaxlen} NEW_PWD=${trunc_symbol}/${NEW_PWD#*/} fi }
- The next fragment generates the command prompt and various colors are defined. The user's color for the username, hostname, and prompt ($ or #) is set to cyan, and if the user is root (root's UID is always 0), set the color to red. The command prompt is set to a colored version of Arch's default with the NEW_PWD from the last function.
- Also, make sure that your color variables are enclosed in double and not single quote marks. Using single quote marks seems to give Bash problems with line wrapping correctly.
bash_prompt() { case $TERM in xterm*|rxvt*) local TITLEBAR='\[\033]0;\u:${NEW_PWD}\007\]' ;; *) local TITLEBAR="" ;; esac local NONE="\[\033[0m\]" # unsets color to term's fg color # regular colors local K="\[\033[0;30m\]" # black local R="\[\033[0;31m\]" # red local G="\[\033[0;32m\]" # green local Y="\[\033[0;33m\]" # yellow local B="\[\033[0;34m\]" # blue local M="\[\033[0;35m\]" # magenta local C="\[\033[0;36m\]" # cyan local W="\[\033[0;37m\]" # white # emphasized (bolded) colors local EMK="\[\033[1;30m\]" local EMR="\[\033[1;31m\]" local EMG="\[\033[1;32m\]" local EMY="\[\033[1;33m\]" local EMB="\[\033[1;34m\]" local EMM="\[\033[1;35m\]" local EMC="\[\033[1;36m\]" local EMW="\[\033[1;37m\]" # background colors local BGK="\[\033[40m\]" local BGR="\[\033[41m\]" local BGG="\[\033[42m\]" local BGY="\[\033[43m\]" local BGB="\[\033[44m\]" local BGM="\[\033[45m\]" local BGC="\[\033[46m\]" local BGW="\[\033[47m\]" local UC=$W # user's color [ $UID -eq "0" ] && UC=$R # root's color PS1="$TITLEBAR ${EMK}[${UC}\u${EMK}@${UC}\h ${EMB}\${NEW_PWD}${EMK}]${UC}\\$ ${NONE}" # without colors: PS1="[\u@\h \${NEW_PWD}]\\$ " # extra backslash in front of \$ to make bash colorize the prompt }
- Finally, append this code. This ensures that the NEW_PWD variable will be updated when you cd somewhere else, and it sets the PS1 variable, which contains the command prompt.
PROMPT_COMMAND=bash_prompt_command bash_prompt unset bash_prompt
These prompts offer a little more flash and visual clarity. Note that the use of red in the root user's prompt should provide ample warning. That is not to say someone could not use flashing text or arrow to do even more, but these will give you a good starting point.
First, change the default background in your terminal preferences (this example uses Xfce's Terminal program) to #D2D2D2, and the text color to #000000. The font is listed as DejaVu Sans Mono Book 12. The cursor color is #00AA00, and the tab activity color is #AF0000.
Second, in ~/.bashrc and right after the PS1= line, enter a new line with the following:
PS1='\e[1;33;47m\u \e[1;32;47mon \h \e[1;35;47m\d \@\e[0;0m\n\e[1;34m[dir.= \w] \# > \e[0;0m'
And then place a # in front of the first PS1 line to remark it out.
Third, for root user, edit /root/.bashrc in the same manner to include:
PS1='\e[1;31;47m\u \e[1;32;47mon \h \e[1;35;47m\d \@\e[0;0m\n\e[1;31m[dir.= \w] \# > \e[0;0m'
Do not forget to comment out the old line.
These are double-line prompts, and they should look something like these:
- user
[dir.= /etc/rc.d] 1 >
- root
[dir.= /etc/rc.d] 1 >
You will note that the background colors make them easier to read, and the text colors just keep things interesting. There is a lot of leeway to make them personalized, just with the use of colors. Enjoy!
Set window title
Xterm and many other terminal emulators (including PuTTY) allow you to set the window title using special escape sequences. You can define the
${XTERM_TITLE} variable as follows, then insert it at the beginning of the prompt to set xterm title (if available) to directory@user@hostname:
#set xterm title case "$TERM" in xterm | xterm-color) XTERM_TITLE='\[\e]0;\W@\u@\H\a\]' ;; esac
The text between
0; and
\a can be set to anything you like, for example:
export PS1="\[\e]0;Welcome to ArchLinux\a\]\$>> "
sets the window title to "Welcome to ArchLinux" and displays this simple prompt:
Different colors for text entry and console output
If you do not reset the text color at the end of your prompt, both the text you enter and the console text will simply stay in that color. If you want to edit text in a special color but still use the default color for command output, you will need to reset the color after you press enter, but still before any commands get run. You can do this by installing a DEBUG trap in your ~/.bashrc, like this:
trap 'echo -ne "\e[0m"' DEBUG
Laptop battery status on prompt

Travel Update - Coven
There are several active covens known to be operating in the Gwelf area. The one most feared and least understood is The Sisterhood of the Dark Fields. Shadowy rumours of them run thick and fast through the local pubs and taverns as the bright light of summer recedes into the cool grey of autumn. It's not certain how many of them there are in the coven but estimates have it at thirteen or perhaps more. They are for the most part dormant during the spring and summer months, presumably due to an aversion to sunlight. They will surface again when the leaves turn brown and fall off the trees. The shorter days and cooler temperatures bring them out on their secret, nocturnal errands. You can imagine their long, twig fingers crawling spider-like over the innocent form of a sleeping child, stolen from her cradle on a starless night. This is what they do, stalking the innocent and attacking them in their beds.
The residents of Gwelf are for the most part safe from witch attacks. However the out lying farms and smaller towns are much more vulnerable. The first thing you may or may not hear are the foot steps on the roof, followed by a paralyzing spell blown down the chimney to freeze you in your night shirt. Then a whispered incantation at the front door and the sound of all your locks unhinging themselves. You needn't worry about your money or your valuables, that isn't what they're after, although by the time they are finished you might be wishing they had been. A shaved head will be the least of the indignities visited upon you if they have their way. They are also interested in teeth and blood, your individuality and the life energy that resides in your temporal form. They are searching for secrets and there isn't anything they won't do to uncover the dearest and most personal ones.
At this time of year a hearty defensive plan is critical. There are things we can do. Witches do not favour salt or mirrors so I would suggest a liberal and creative distribution of both in order to enhance the protection of your person and your loved ones. However, candles infused with the appropriate witch defeating particle magic are your best defense, although they may be expensive and difficult to obtain. The very best candles will remain lit on even the stormiest of nights. This will, as you can imagine, make them even more expensive and rare but if you are the kind of person that simply has to walk down lonely autumn roads in the middle of the night it will probably be worth it. Much care and caution will be required.
I hope this helps. Safe and happy travels to you.

You ought to collect these and do a illustrated travel guide to Gwelf. There are many businesses that do "self publishing" and handle the printing and mailing too. They also provide "store fronts" you can link to your blog. I'd buy one.

Hey, I'm a big fan of your work. The place I used to buy your prints went out of business, and since the pod gallery link you posted over on the right doesn't work anymore, is there any chance you can direct me to a good place to get your prints online? I have a couple of your prints which I particularly love (Muskeg and Witch Path) but my wall just needs a third one to make it look just right. ;)

"Abigail! I saw you on the CBU page for Lancer Diaries! I didn't know you wrote for them!"
Since Lancer Diaries has been on the CBU webpage as one of the banners, I've gotten this statement at least once a week. The flush of my cheeks could testify to the humility I feel upon receiving the acknowledgement. Who would've known that professors and friends of mine would take interest in a blog I write, some of them reading my blogs weekly! I would never have guessed. When my boyfriend, Chris, told me about the position during the summer before Fall '12, he and I both thought it would be a great position for me to apply for, considering my love for writing. I had no clue, though, that in being hired, people would actually read something I had written. It has been humbling knowing that prospective students, current students, and professors have been reading my writing, much that has been personal and sometimes quite raw, and actually enjoying it. Talk about exceeding my expectations.
I'm not a journaler. I haven't kept a diary since I was in 7th grade when I was so in love with Whatshisname. Still, though, I like to say to my friends and family that for me, the thoughts, ideas, dreams, and worries I have in my head every day don't become concrete until I say them out loud, or even become tangible until I write them. I must admit, though, that writing out what's on my heart in this humble blog of mine has been most gratifying. I was able to express my thoughts on education and my own life events, sharing pieces of who I am, and also think of helpful hints for fellow students experiencing stress. In doing so, I was able to externally process my heartfelt emotions as well as write a personal prescription for the stresses in my own schedule. Sometimes, my heart was grievous and heavy, and others it was joyful, always rejoicing in God's sovereignty. In all of it, I have learned a little bit more of who I am – the light with the dark, beautiful with the ugly. Keeping this little blog for CBU exceeded my expectations not only in the humility factor, but also in the area of self-discovery.
Each time an acquaintance, friend, or professor acknowledged this Lancer's diary, my heart fluttered in flattery and bashfulness, but isn't that how we Christ-followers should respond to our responsibilities – out of humility and heartfelt joy? That we are dedicating our utmost focus and ability to glorifying our Lord through our work, incorporating bits of who we are as individuals into creating something beautiful in the sight of God? Being made in God's image, our Creator, we have been given an air of creativity to express into everything we do. What an honor and privilege! This blog has been just that… a responsibility that has enabled me to communicate the creativity the Creator continues to bless me with. I've enjoyed it!
Friends, thank you for reading – for the humility it has caused me to feel, for letting me delve into the depths of my heart to share with you, and for allowing me to express God's hand in my life through creativity.

£60,000 for self reflection
Law apparently "had applied the seductive idea of nothing to a canvas, and asks the viewer to reflect" (according to the auctioneer's catalogue).
Metro reports the artist David Hockney as saying, "It seems to me that if you make pictures there should be something on the canvas".
The idea of "blankness" is not new, and not only in painting. I gather that in some Noh performances (which date back to the 15th century), the actor appears before the audience and says nothing for about half an hour. Half an hour, during which the audience's imagination can be stimulated.
But I have very mixed feelings about this empty canvas by Law and its price tag.
On the one hand, it seems an awful lot of money to pay, when you could have the same thing for much cheaper, for example by painting one wall in your house in white (see my post about my stay in a Tokyo hotel). You could then project your imagination daily on the empty space. If the space is large enough, one could project films regularly on it, thus turning an empty space into a source of infinite variability and fertile imagination.
On the other hand, given the huge sums spent in auction houses on what I believe is very shoddy work, I would prefer a blank canvas. I can project my concepts on to it regularly, whereas I would have to view a bad piece of art daily, were I unfortunate enough to spend so much money on it.
But of course I defer to those knowledgeable about art. Metro reports the head of contemporary art at the auction house as saying, "Bob Law is the most underestimated and overlooked minimal artist in Britain …[who] didn't get the recognition that he deserved"
Well, he may now. I hope that the purchaser will enjoy enriching his imagination daily.
As for me, I will stick to a white wall.

I am an artist and have often thought about monotone or monochromatic canvases (Ellsworth Kelly's pieces come to mind). A blank canvas is very restful and allows the viewers to use their own imagination to see things that may be in their minds. Our eyes are daily inundated with images that can be visually exhausting. Yet, like you, I don't see the point in paying thousands for something I have on my own wall.
Maybe the point of the piece is to recognize the need for our eyes to rest on something like a blank or monochrome canvas. And if someone thinks that's worth paying for, more power to the artist.

There is not such thing as a blank canvas as art work. Art works can be blank but only if they are filled, as Yves Klein wrote, with consiouness. Monochromes are from al periods and all cultures. Invisable works rather from the sixties and apear in Europe and Japan simultaniously. Dear Semir Zeki, your story about the painter is only interesting if you are interested in market stategy. With art is has noting to do. Tijs

Thanks, Tijs...I actually agree with you. And, it seems, so does the art market. The Bob Law "painting" (empty canvas) was actually left unsold at auction. This may indicate that, crazy though the art market is, it is not crazy enough to consider a non-painting as art.

I think it's really unfortunate that what could potentially be an interesting set of conversations about beauty, perception, representation, creativity etc is flattened out by their placement within a purely economic frame. The 'value' of gestures such as blank canvases, lectures about nothing (Cage), choreographies that eschew notions of technique (Yvonne Rainer) have nothing to do with the price they might fetch. Art is not the art market.

Federal crews began a historic search and rescue effort Friday as 181 people in Boulder County remain "unaccounted for" following 100-year flooding from several days of torrential rainfall.
Two Federal Emergency Management Agency teams joined the effort Friday. With 250 people, the largest federal search and rescue team ever for the state of Colorado is now tasked with scouring a flood-ravaged Boulder County.
"This is an unprecedented event," Sheriff Joe Pelle said.
The death toll rose Friday to at least three after crews found a woman who had been missing since Thursday morning.
Evacuations issued late Thursday for western central Boulder, Eldorado Springs and portions of Longmont remained in effect Friday night.
The list of people who are "unaccounted for" -- who can't be reached by family and friends -- has also grown from 20 on Thursday to 181, and Pelle said he expects the number to rise even more because most of the western part of the county is still inaccessible.
"I expect that list to grow," Pelle said. "The things that worry us are what we don't know. We don't know how many lives are lost, we don't know about homes lost."
Emergency officials are keeping that list confidential for now. However, emergency officials Friday morning said every person on the list is an adult, and University of Colorado officials said no students are unaccounted for.
Weather conditions improved enough for the National Guard to send helicopters into Jamestown to evacuate the town and drop off supplies. At the same time, residents of Lyons are also being evacuated into Longmont by high-clearance National Guard vehicles.
'It's not safe right now'
Many major highways have been re-opened, but other roads and highways -- including Table Mesa Drive at Broadway -- remain closed, and Boulder police spokeswoman Kim Kobel asked people to stay out of Boulder if possible and off the roads.
Boulder Mayor Matt Appelbaum signed an emergency declaration making it illegal for people to be on the city's open space and mountain parks land. Kobel said flooding in those areas has made them dangerous.
"There are lakes in Boulder where there weren't lakes before," Kobel said. "It's not safe right now."
Police also said tubing, boating or kayaking in a disaster area is illegal.
A break in a pipe of the wastewater treatment plant also resulted in a 300-foot breach of untreated sewage water to flow directly into Boulder Creek on Friday evening, though it has not affected Boulder's drinking water.
At the University of Colorado, about 355 residents were allowed to return to faculty and staff housing units, Athens Court and the ground floor of Newton Court, after being evacuated Thursday.
CU Chancellor Phil DiStefano announced Friday that today's football game against Fresno State will be postponed. While Folsom Field is structurally OK, the university said it did not want to divert resources from relief efforts.
The storm system has dumped a record-shattering 14.71 inches of water on the Boulder area since Monday. Average yearly precipitation is just under 21 inches.
Midnight scare, evacuations
Late Thursday, a caller told dispatchers he had heard an "explosion" from the area of Emerson Gulch in Fourmile Canyon and saw the valley below him fill with water carrying debris, including cars. He estimated the wall of water to be about 30 feet high.
Officials told residents to prepare for a surge and ordered evacuations from the mouth of Boulder Canyon east to Broadway, between Marine and Pearl streets. They were told to evacuate on foot to avoid getting trapped in their cars on streets that were running like rivers.
Residents east of Broadway along the creek all the way to 75th Street were told to "shelter in place" but move to higher floors or higher ground if possible.
A U.S. Geological Survey water gauge in Fourmile Creek recorded a 17-foot wall of water slightly before midnight, but the feared surge did not materialize, perhaps because the water spread out in the wider floor of Boulder Canyon.

I think the banks are making people hold off for a phone (and plan) that ticks all the boxes, rather than risk getting a so-so phone that they're stuck with for 24 months.
US carrier smartphone sales slip
Interesting stats have been published by US finance house Morgan Keegan and with then comes a warning for makers of Android handsets: be prepared for a tough Q4. The figures in question tally smartphone sales made by US network operators AT&T and Verizon. Android sales, while higher than those of the Apple iPhone have been …

It's not just the economy it's market saturation: almost everyone who wants an expensive, high-end smartphone probably has one and they are probably gradually aligning to the 2-year cycles of the typical contracts rather than clamouring to upgrade every year.
I'd expect a surge in November though when the new Android 4.0 reference phone "Galaxy Nexus", design icon Moto "RAZR" launch at practically the same time.

What about the other networks?
I realise these guys account for 80% of the market, but it does seem like the interesting story with Android recently is the entry into the prepaid market on the tiny regional carriers. You might expect this to disrupt the high-end market much as I'm appalled at the prices they're asking for fashionable phones in the UK after buying a Orange San Francisco for 70 quid off-contract.

Commodity effect?
Notwithstanding the people waiting for the latest iPhone, might the smartphone market have actually reached the same stage as the computer market, only a lot quicker?
Many people are finding no compelling reason to update their desktop computers, and looking at the selling points of the latest smarphones they seem to be focussing on internals like dual-core processors and the like. In terms of doing what you actually want to do with them, all the smartphones will do that and have done for a little while now.

I bought my N1 circa 2 years ago and see absolutely no reason to get a new phone. Not for another year or two. I'd also bite my own balls off before I'd get a stupid carrier subsidized, branded, locked down phone. One i have works perfectly fine and was also too expensive to just discard for no good reason. All this obsession with ever growing numbers, who are they selling all that stuff to? Android market share grew very rapidly, it'd be idiotic to expect that to continue indefinitely and get all worked up because it's beginnig to taper off.

Washington State Status Report for the Margined Sculpin
Threatened and Endangered Species - Status Reports
Date Published: September 1998
Number of Pages: 21
Author(s): Paul E. Mongillo and Molly Hallock
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:The margined sculpin (Cottus marginatus) is physically distinguishable from the piute sculpin (Cottus beldingi), the only other similar sculpin species within its range, by medial chin pores and anal fin rays. The margined sculpin has one chin pore and 14 to 17 anal rays while the piute sculpin has two chin pores and 11 to 14 anal rays.
The former range of C. marginatus is unknown. Currently it is found in the Blue Mountains of Oregon and Washington. In Washington it is only found in parts of the Tucannon and Walla Walla drainages.
Margined sculpin spawn in the spring. They likely spawn under rocks in pools at temperatures that range from 11.5o C to 16o C. Young-of-the-year margined sculpin appear in electrofishing surveys during the fall.
Fish species diversity within the range of C. marginatus is low and it is not understood how they interact. It is known that different species of sculpins are preyed upon by fish, birds and mammals, while they prey upon fish eggs and other small fish including salmon.
The margined sculpin is primarily a pool dweller in streams. Its preference for pools does not appear to be strongly affected by seasons. It is normally found in water temperatures less than 20o C and adults tend to be found in deeper, faster water than juveniles.
The past and current population status of the margined sculpin is unknown. However, it is locally common. Even if present populations are healthy, its extremely restricted distribution poses concern for the future. Local disturbances may have profound effects on its persistence.
Most of the waters inhabited by C. marginatus have degraded habitat. Problems are caused by development, logging, agriculture, grazing and channelization. These activities result in sedimentation of substrate, elevated water temperatures, algal blooms and reduction in pool habitat. Agricultural and yard chemicals not used properly can directly eliminate fish as well as cause indirect problems such as algal blooms.
The future is somewhat hopeful. The chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and bull trout (salvelinus confluentus) that inhabit the Tucannon and Walla Walla drainages have been listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act. This requires that many habitat protection measures be implemented that would also likely benefit margined sculpin.
The margined sculpin is confined to an extremely small range worldwide and in Washington. Much of the habitat it dwells in is degraded with an uncertain future. Because of its small range and degraded habitat conditions it is vulnerable and likely to become threatened or endangered in a significant portion of its range without cooperative management. The Department therefore recommends that the margined sculpin be listed as a sensitive species in Washington.

YellowBrickRoad Financial Advisors
YellowBrickRoad Financial Advisors is a personal financial advisory firm deeply and intensely dedicated to the achievement and preservation of our client's personal financial independence.
Our highest accomplishment is when a client exclaims they're completely grateful that we're on their financial life journey.
The firm's name is inspired by the film Wizard of Oz. There is much symbolism in this film about life's journey. The 'yellow brick road' symbolizes our aim to get where we want to go in life. The film reminds us that the journey requires courage, heart, intelligence. Overcomings fears and obstacles. Depending on others. So, too, our financial life journey. Our mission as a personal financial advisory firm is to be a difference maker along a client's financial life journey.
The main character's red slippers is another powerful symbol in the film. Only at the end of the film does she realize that these red slippers worn throughout the journey enabled her all along the way to get to where she was trying to go (i.e. home). The slippers brilliantly symbolize that all of us have within us the ability to get to where we want to go in life. We simply have to empower ourselves to recognize this ability. Red slippers, though, aren't a branding icon for a personal financial advisory firm. :-)
YellowBrickRoad is our client's financial life journey.
The firm provides deeply personal financial advice to individuals, families, small business owners focused on achieving financial independence. Financial independence is getting to that place in life when earning an income is entirely a choice and there are adequate financial resources for a desired lifestyle forever thereafter.
We empower each client to see their financial life as an enterprise to be managed everyday. They're the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Our place is to be the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Their Personal CFO.
There are six areas of a financial life - - financial position (cash flow, cash reserves), protection (diability, death), investment (education, home purchase), retirement (financial independence), tax, and estate (wills, trusts). As Personal CFO, we become completely and deeply engaged in every facet of a client's financial life with a particular focus on enabling the achievement and preservation of personal financial independence.
Our clients are everyday people on the Planet Earth. Accomplished at what they do in life and wanting to make sure their accomplishments translate to financial independence.
YellowBrickRoad Financial Advisors is particularly focused on financial independence because the largest segment of the population (i.e. baby boomer generation) is right now coming onto their retirement years.
The logo will also be the centerpiece of a communication campaign to launch the firm's identity as YellowBrickRoad Financial Advisors. The campaign includes print media and website. Addtn'l creative work is anticipated after logo design.
Critically important the logo NOT be a direct or literal interpretation of a yellow brick road (i.e. no yellow brick road imagery) or have any visual reference to the film Wizard of Oz.
Branding the firm YellowBrickRoad has risk that our audience doesn't see the seriousness of our mission. We have serious responsibilities in financial lives. Very important to convey confidence, intelligence, and, trust in all branding and communication.
YellowBrickRoad is one word. It fits together visually and creates a unique identity for the firm. This isn't a requisite in the logo design; a strong preference.
The logo is to initially incorporate complete firm name - YellowBrickRoad Financial Advisors.
The brand name lends itself to a font design and/or an graphic image solution. We're inspired by both potentials.
The attachments are current logo design for biz cards, letterhead. A bit dated. We like the six squares at lower left corner of letterhead. They represent the six areas of financial planning. An iconic symbol. Not tied to anything, though.
Other recent efforts. One too literal. The other cool but flowery.

Janis Krums from Sarasota, Florida posts the first photo of U.S. Airways flight 1549 on Twitter from his iPhone.
We've discussed before how, quality not withstanding, the iPhone is Flickr's most popular camera. We've also seen the reach and immediacy of Twitter report and engage with news around the world faster and from more perspectives than traditional corporate news machines have ever been able to do. What happens when these new media devices and networks meet? Maybe what was discussed in Leo Laporte's Macworld 2009 feature presentation.
Paradigms shift. It happened with telegraph, with radio, with television, with satellite... is it happening again with the iPhone and Twitter?

wmfiles necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 175 diseños de 24 diseñadores freelance.
Warmth Media
Warmth Media is a new marketing consulting firm for companies/brands that are committed to making a difference in the world.
1) green oriented companies, 2) authors (in the personal growth, health and prosperity niches), and 3) nonprofit/foundations, that are all focused on the 'triple bottom line" (profit, people and planet).
We want the Warmth Media logo/brand to both represent and appeal to clients who believe their marketing is not based on hype or manipulation, but should be based on principles of warmth, caring, compassion, integrity, long term relationships, service and true value.
While the brand can have a nourishing warm feel, we don't want this brand to be too 'soft' or 'feminine', but rather to strike a balance between lofty ideals/vision and practical real world strength and results. (high tech and high touch). Perhaps something like the sun?
We are thinking white with warm colors such as the shades of red, orange, or yellow, but we're also very open to see other suggestions and creativities!
**Update: We have decided not to use W and M as our logo due to many other logos that are done with those initials in the market. We want to find a symbol that represents "warmth".
