The web contains HTML documents that glue everything together. And the links - hyperlinks - make the web "weblike". The was web invented in the early 1990s and now has around 30 billion pages.
The major pieces of the web:
The browser send requests to server using a protocol called HTTP (hyper text transfer protocol) and the server responds with files that the browser displays.
HTML (hyper text markup language) document are the heart of the web.

This is normal text
This tag will put an image into the HTML document, with a set width and height and 2 px border:
*Void tag: the tag has no closing tag, so it is called a VOID TAG.
The whole list of tags can be found here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/default.asp
HTML attributes are additional elements In the opening tags, and they look like this:
This is the way to create link in HTML document using anchor tag, and href attributes to create link in the text.
There are two types of tags by their behavior:
Additionally there are also the so called Container tags below: "span" and "div". These elements don't do anything else just contain their content:
HTML documents have a certain structure. This is illustrated below by two different ways:
HTML documents are organized in a a tree-like structure, or we can call it "box in a box" structure.
HTML editors help programmers to write code faster and help avoid doing simple mistakes. There are many of them, and we mentioned Codepen, Sublime text editor and the scratchpad.io.
HTML creates the structure of the document, the same way like building similar houses in the outskirt of the city. The structure is the layout of the houses, which can be all similar. When the houses are ready then comes the design. Instead of telling the painters every time how to paint a certain room we can define a simple rule: "every kitchen should be painted light green" or "every fence should be made from wood and painted brown".
CSS is the instruction for the HTML document that tells what kind of style to use for a certain part of the document, e.g. every head 1 should be in a nice green color, and use purple for head 2 every time. This way we can avoid repetition, since we describe the style just once in the CSS file. A CSS reference guide can be found here.

RATING: 9/10 ALTERNATIVE RATING: B +
"..it's certainly more than just a monster story.."
- Kenneth Branagh, director/actor/co-writer of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
Kenneth Branagh's new motion picture had to compete with all the previous Frankenstein-films made throughout the years in almost every part of the world, including the most controversial version of them all - directed by James Whale.
The dark and stormy nights, the lightning bolts, the charnel houses of spare body parts, the laboratory where Victor Frankenstein stirs his steaming cauldron of life are effectful. But the center of the film, quieter and more thoughtful, contains the real story.
Horror-fans will probably be disappointed by the total lack of horror. Branagh has instead concentrated on serious issues: morality, philosophy and human elements of the story, and not on old fashioned horror cliches. His version is much closer to the book than all the previous adaptions of the classic novel.
The film begins and ends somewhere in the Arctic Ocean. The year is 1794. A bold captain is steering his ship through the unknown waters. His gole is to reach the North Pole at all costs. As the ice closes around his ship, a figure appears on the horizon. It's a man. Exhausted and on the brink of death he approaches the frightening crew. His name is Victor Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh) and his story is so terrifying that it will scare everyone from venturing into the unknown. The myserious stranger begins his tale, or more precisely his confession, in Geneva, 1773. He is remembering his childhood and youth. Laughter, banquets and parties - a happy life, without troubles or concerns. Here Victor lived with his father (Ian Holm) , mother (Cherie Lunghi ), his surrogate sister (Helena Boham Carter) and his servants in happiness and harmony. This idyllic lifestyle is suddenly changed. Like thunder from a quite sky, his mother dies, giving birth to his youngest brother. Shocked, baffled and then gradually changed by grief and despair, Victor (already interested in science) becomes obsessed with death. Standing on his mother's grave he says: "Oh mother..you did not have to die...no one should ever die...I will stop this..I promiss.."
After proposing marridge to his surrogate sister and promising to return as soon as his studies are finished, Victor travels to Ingolstadt, in presuite of a medical career. After a while his obsession totally overtakes him as he is working day and night, creating life from death. Composing dead bodies, Frankenstein wanted to create the perfect man - both physically and mentally. With strong electrical impulses, he managed to breeth life into his creation. The result was ugliness. Realizing what he has done, Frankenstein tried to undo his work, but it was to late. The creature has escaped.
Because of the epidemic, Frankenstein hoped that his creation has died and returned to his home,making plans for the wedding. For a while everything is as it was before his mother's death. But then one by one his loved once are dying mysteriously...
Whale's picture, although powerful, never managed to capture the total depth of the novel. Brannagh has more or less done that. Another thing is characters and actors. Branagh has developed every character and assembled a magnificent cast. The greatest performances comes from De Niro - the monster, that has been played by (among others) Charles Ogle, Karloff, Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi, Glenn Strange, Christopher Lee, Fred Gwynne (as Herman Munster), and now, Robert De Niro. Alone, hated and feared, he is completely aware of his ugliness. At first he is like a helpless, abandoned child, desperately reaching out for love. Later when he reads Frankenstein's journal, and learns that he is composed of dead bodies, his love turns into rage as he is seeking revenge. He is capable of killing without regret. "I took him by the throughout and lifted him off the ground....and then I slowly crushed his neck...And as I killed him, I saw your face.." That is how he reveals his savage nature to his creator. And yet, he is never quite evil in our eyes and his vaulerbility and his loneliness are palpable: "For the sympathy of one living being I would make peace with all." Rarely has a cinematic interpretation of "the daemon" approached the level of three-dimensionality and humanity with which it is portrayed in the novel. Another vital thing is the character of Victor Frankenstein. In most of the previous adaptions he was simply a mad scientist that trolls the graveyards for corpses and then creates a monster (God knows why!) with the power of an electrical storm. Almost no time was granted on his charecter, who is the most important and vital charecter in the novel. Here, Branagh introduces the character of Victor Frankenstein, establishes his obsession with the very nature of life and death, sets up the intellectual and ideological conflict between Victor and the academic establishment, and somehow manages to build up to a rousing and horrifying creation scene. Branagh plays Frankenstein with a remarkable understanding of his character. On the outside he is strong, ambitious and talented scientist, but deep down he is unsecure, fragile and vaulerble, constantly haunted by the ghosts from his past. Helen Boham Carter is equally wonderful as Frankenstein's surrogate sister, who at the end becomes his wife for a little while, before death drives them apart. The rest of the cast, playing secondary characters, is solid and nothing less than convincing.
Visually the film is stunning (especially the makeup). The spinning camera, the constantly building-up musical acore, the art direction, the production design, the costumes are all magnificent: From the Arctic Ocean to the Swiss Alps and dark forests, to the plague-riddled streets of Ingolstadt, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a wonder to behold.
Kenneth Branagh directs his film as if the script was written by Shakespeare: "..All I once loved lies in a shallow grave....by my hand..". And the film ends exacly as Hamlet , when the creature sets both his and his creator's body on fire. The film ends with Frankenstein and his creation burning in the almost hellish fire in the darkness. And a terrifying last close-up on the creature's smiling face.
Can a man create life, then abandon his creation because its appearance horrifies him? To whom are its actions then attributable: the creature or the being who brought about its existence? Shelley did not answer these questions, but she certainly posed them. Following her example, Branagh does the same.
His film is a tragic saga about playing God. Victor Frankenstein is not an evil man. He wanted to change the world to the better. In this he represents everything science stands for: Acting without doubts, never considering the consequences of his actions.
Produced by Francis Ford Coppola, Frankenstein resembles in some respects Coppolas previous film "Dracula". In comparison, I can say that "Dracula" has visuals that even "Frankenstein" can not live up to. But when it comes to story, characters and casting, "Frankenstein" is stronger. But stronger than both of them, on every aspect, is Neil Jordan's "Interview with the Vampire".
Although the film is not perfect (the camera that simply refuses to stay still and the occasionally pushy score are at times more tiering than effective), these minor faults are easily forgivable, as the picture is otherwise captivating and stimulating. Branagh has probably created one of the best (if not the best) adaptions of Shelly's classic novel.

The Extras plugin will initialize the optional addon plugins from extras/ directory, if they were loaded.
Generally, for an extras plugin to have been loaded, 2 things must have happened:
git submodule update
<script>
tag.If one or more extras plugins were so added, this plugin will automatically
discover them and perform initialization (such as calling
mermaid.initialize()
).
If no extras plugins are added to a presentation, this plugin does nothing.
Note that some extra plugins (like mathjax) initialize themselves immediately, and there's nothing to do here.

find the longest of the shortest
问题描述 :
Marica is very angry with Mirko because he found a new girlfriend and she seeks revenge.Since she doesn’t live in the same city, she started preparing for the long journey.We know for every road how many minutes it takes to come from one city to another.
Mirko overheard in the car that one of the roads is under repairs, and that it is blocked, but didn’t konw exactly which road. It is possible to come from Marica’s city to Mirko’s no matter which road is closed.
Marica will travel only by non-blocked roads, and she will travel by shortest route. Mirko wants to know how long will it take for her to get to his city in the worst case, so that he could make sure that his girlfriend is out of town for long enough.Write a program that helps Mirko in finding out what is the longest time in minutes it could take for Marica to come by shortest route by non-blocked roads to his city.

题意是说任意去掉一条边之后的最短路的最长长度为多少。
顶点数为N达到1000的范围，显然枚举所有边再求最短路，复杂度为N^2*O(spfa),会超时的。
仔细想想便知，原图上求一次最短路，如果我们删掉最短路之外的边，之后的最短路还是原图的最短路，那我们只要枚举最短路上的边，然后再求最短路就行了。
最多路径上会有N条边，复杂度为N*O(spfa),1S左右AC。写的代码很囧，特别是记录最短路径上的边的时候，有许多地方可以改进，之前WA了，是因为我只删掉了单向边，因为是无向图，所以需要双向都删除，我找了两次，其实u->v，和v->u的边在前向星中的存储必然是相邻的，idx^1便是另外一条边的位置。懒得改了

程序输出是对的，呈三角型。原程序是按C++写的，已经改成了C的
加了星号 (*) 表示跳过此数据不读入. 因为scanf是不读取本行回车的
第15行代码，/n/n，应该改为\n\n

你的理解应该是：即使主持人拿走一个箱子对结果没有影响。这样想，主持人拿走的箱子只是没有影响到你初始选择的那个箱子中有奖品的概率，但是改变了其余两个箱子的概率分布。由 1/3,1/3 变成了 0, 2/3
从数学角度确实是C(n,r)，能给个递推关系式吗，从分治的角度不好理解
第15行代码，/n/n，应该改为nn

A cry for help
75-y-o fire victim wants help to rebuild house
AN elderly woman of Lloyd's Pen in Yallahs, St Thomas, is appealing for assistance to rebuild her home, after fire ravaged the three-bedroom wooden structure early last year.
Hazel Gooden, 75, while speaking to the Jamaica Observer North & East earlier this month, said fire destroyed her home on May 10, 2018 and since that time, she has been unable to rebuild the structure.
Gooden shared that she had just returned home from selling at Coronation Market in downtown Kingston when the incident occurred.
She said she had gone to the kitchen to prepare dinner when her grandson raised an alarm.
“Mi hear him seh, 'Hazel, fire inna yuh room'. Mi seh, 'Fire?' And when mi run inna di room mi couldn't face it. Di whole place just blaze up.  Mi have two likkle bucket inna di bathroom and mi have som bucket wid water weh mi use flush toilet if water gone,” the woman explained.
She said when her neighbour arrived he instructed her to move away from the structure, which he surmised could not be saved.
“When him run come and a throw it him seh, 'Miss Hazel, yuh better come out.
She told Observer North & East that firefighters at the Yallahs Fire Station, located only metres away from her home, were unable to respond to the blaze because there were no units at the facility.
She also said aside from the neighbour she had called for assistance, no one else helped to battle the fire.
The woman said she has since been “forced” to live with her daughter, as a result, in less than ideal conditions.
“Mi waah help fi done build up di house and mi wouldn't mind likkle help fi buy food because sometimes mi nuh have nothing fi eat. Mi mawga down. Mi used to weigh 230lbs. Mi woulda thank the hands that help. I woulda thank my brothers and sisters for we are all one,” Gooden said.

A spatio-temporal stochastic model to assess resistance deployment strategies against plant pathogens. The model is based on stochastic geometry for describing the landscape and the resistant hosts, a dispersal kernel for the dissemination of the pathogen, and a SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed) architecture to simulate plant response to disease.

i have been going to raves for about 2 years now. i first tried E last year. i took 2 pills to start off, then followed with another pill about 3 hours later. i was at a rave at the time and someone offered me a sniff off a vicks inhaler. in case you are not familiar with the vicks (very popular with the rave scene), it is a small tube filled with the vicks vapo rub that you stick up your nose and sniff. it is usally used to get rid of a cold or for allergies. well the feeling you get from sniffing the vicks with on E is so incredible, words cant explain it. i loved the feeling so much that i was sniffing the vicks every five minutes. that went on all night. at one point one of my friends told me to lay off or i would have a sore nose in the morning. but i ignored her, thinking that a sore nose was a mere price to pay for the feeling of pleasure the vicks brought. well the next afternoon when i finally woke up, my nose was a little red and runny but nothing too serious.
now lets skip to the following week. not only were my nostrils flaming red and running like crazy, i had a horrible head cold and sinus pain. i waited for it to go away, but a month later i finally went to the doctors. now about a year later i still have the same symptoms. its like having terrible allergies 24/7. i found out that i have severe nasal and sinus damage and permanant loss of smell. the runny nose has subsided some due to my medication, but i will never be the same again. just because of the one night i over-over did it with the vicks. and its so easy to do. you get caught up in the moment and forget how much you are actually doing. i still do E every now and then. i think its fun and enjoyable, but i will never ever do the vicks again. i urge all the ravers and people getting started with E to listen to my words carefully.

This tool calculates the maximum value of deviation from mean elevation (DEV) across a range of spatial scales. The user must specify the name of an input digital elevation model (DEM) raster. Two output rasters are created including a raster containing the maximum deviation value and a second raster containing the scale at which this maximum occurred. The scale range must be specified using the minimum and maximum search window radius, or the window half-size, r, where D = 2r + 1. The series r = 1, 2, 3, therefore describes the series of square pixel-centered windows, such that r = 1 denotes a 3 x 3 roving window, r = 2 denotes a 5 x 5 window, and so on. Window half-sizes must be positive integers. Additionally, the user must specify the step size, which determines the step in r between consecutive derived DEV rasters, and therefore determines the sampling density of the scale signature. The minimum step value is 1. Note that derived DEV rasters for each scale are only stored in memory and only the two output rasters are ever stored to disc. The tool uses an extremely efficient technique based on an integral images to calculate DEV for each scale. The efficiency of this method is independent of the size of the search window, thereby allowing for the calculation of DEV with very large window sizes.
The following is an example of a Python script using this tool:
wd = pluginHost.getWorkingDirectory()
demFile = wd + "DEM.dep"
outputMagnitudeFile = wd + "outputMagnitude.dep"
outputScaleFile = wd + "outputScale.dep"
minNeighbourhood = "3"
maxNeighbourhood = "1000"
stepSize = "10"
args = [demFile, outputMagnitudeFile, outputScaleFile, minNeighbourhood, maxNeighbourhood, stepSize]
pluginHost.runPlugin("MaximumElevationDeviation", args, False)
This is a Groovy script also using this tool:
def wd = pluginHost.getWorkingDirectory()
def demFile = wd + "DEM.dep"
def outputMagnitudeFile = wd + "outputMagnitude.dep"
def outputScaleFile = wd + "outputScale.dep"
def minNeighbourhood = "3"
def maxNeighbourhood = "1000"
def stepSize = "10"
String[] args = [demFile, outputMagnitudeFile, outputScaleFile, minNeighbourhood, maxNeighbourhood, stepSize]
pluginHost.runPlugin("MaximumElevationDeviation", args, false)

Review by Ed Johnson-Ott, NUVO Newsweekly www.nuvo-online.com/film/ Archive reviews at http://us.imdb.com/M/reviews_by?Edward+Johnson-ott
I hate assigning star ratings to movies.  When a film is clearly and consistently good ("The Truman Show") or an obvious dud ("Meet The Deedles") the process is easy. It's those in-between films, the ones with both great and dreadful moments, that really make the process difficult. Which brings us to "Godzilla."
After being subjected to a staggering amount of hype for over a year, it's easy to forget that "Godzilla" is, after all, just a monster movie. Although the genre has produced a few undeniable classics, such as "King Kong" and "Jaws," for the most part, monster movies remain guilty pleasures. You enter the theater prepared to suffer through long stretches of dull plotting and silly dialogue in exchange for a few really cool fight scenes with a big, bad-ass monster. Although I haven't seen the original "Godzilla," an Americanized version of the 1954 Japanese film "Gojira," since my childhood, I clearly remember how thrilling the monster was, and that the rest of the film was as ponderous as Raymond Burr during his "Ironside" days.
The new "Godzilla" is a lot like that. In the hands of Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, the team responsible for "Independence Day," "Godzilla" is an absolute hoot when the creature is onscreen, and pretty bad when it isn't. The film's slogan is "Size Does Matter." Wrong. Devlin and Emmerich's sloppy, sprawling film reinforces another old axiom, that size doesn't matter, it's what you do with it that counts. The boys have whipped up a great looking monster and the battle scenes are terrific, but they don't have a clue when it comes to plotting, pacing and logic. Of course, despite the film's many flaws, I still plan to see it again as soon as possible. That's how nifty the creature effects are.
The story is very simple. Godzilla appears. A lot of movie archetypes with conflicting motives chase him. New York gets trashed as the military battles the monster. Just when you think it's over, something else happens. Just when you think it's over again, something else happens. The end. Well, until the sequel.
Over the course of Godzilla's long career, the monster changed from villain to hero and the movies became incredibly campy. Thankfully, Devlin and Emmerich avoid the cheese factor, playing things straight in terms of the creature. The film's humor, both intentional and unintentional, comes from the humans, not Godzilla. Neither hero nor villain, Godzilla simply behaves like an animal. A very, very large animal.
As for the look, forget about stunt men in rubber suits. This Godzilla actually looks like a giant lizard, thanks to some killer special effects. Lithe and agile, Godzilla moves convincingly, with a real sense of weight, bulk and power. It travels so quickly that firing military troops keep missing, inadvertently destroying almost as much of New York as the monster. Scenes of the creature racing through the city are great fun, a reward for all the phony looking monsters we've endured in past films.
Unfortunately, endurance is still a factor. In order to see Godzilla in all of it's glory, we have to suffer through long stretches of inane filler material, with a talented cast forced to spout a lot of hokey dialogue. Matthew Broderick is the idealistic young scientist in the center of things. Maria Pitillo annoys as a conniving reporter (in movies, is there any other kind?) and Broderick's ex-girlfriend, weighing the film down with a time-consuming, totally unnecessary love story. Hank Azaria has his moments as a gonzo photographer, although his character is laden with relationship baggage as well. Actually, only two cast members really get a chance to shine. Jean Reno has a powerful presence as a French agent pursuing Godzilla, and "NewsRadio's" Vicki Lewis adds welcome bite to a minor role as a scientist.
The rest of the film is peopled with cartoons, a fat, reactionary mayor (named Ebert, the filmmakers' little thumbs down at the famed critic,) a self-absorbed TV anchorman, a soldier in way over his head, etc., etc. If Devlin and Emmerich want to truly become masters of "event" movies, they need to learn how to focus on the event instead of tired subplots and clichéd, superfluous characters. A little more attention to internal logic wouldn't hurt either. For example, the impact of an exciting chase scene is lessened by the ludicrous notion that a cab could outrun Godzilla.
 As for me, despite it's lumbering storyline, terrible pacing and disposable characters, I still had fun. Now how do you assign stars to that?

I had read several recipes for isolating the chemical LSA from morning glory seeds on this site, and didn't fully trust any of them. But one process described in the update section of the Morning glory FAQ gave an alternative to using, the hard to find, ether ethanol or seemingly unsafe liter fluid. The process just involves common household kitchen tools, water, and a high proof alcohol, in my case 80 proof tequila.
A few friends of mine had tried the Morning Glory seeds without using this method, or any other sugested process, simply by washing the seeds in water, then chewing them down. This process, brought about heavy nausea, fish-eyes, and even severe psychological distress in one case. Needless to say, unpleasant.
I got the Heavenly Blue Morning Glory seeds from the local Home Depot, not bad prices 6 packs for under $10. Each packet had 1.5 grams of seeds, altogether 9 grams in all 6 packs. I started out by washing the seeds in hot water with a little detergent, then grinding up all the seeds in a coffee bean grinder, I then took this powder and dissolved it in a minimal amount of water, then let it sit for a few hours, I then used coffee filters to filter out all the leftover solids, easier said than done, it takes a while unless you change the filter often. Then I poured the liquid into a large pan and left it for a couple days for all the water to evaporate. A brown pasty stuff was left over, and I then redissolved it in 80 proof tequila, about an ounce and a half.
The next weekend I decided to try it out. At 10pm I smoke a few bowls of marijuana, accumulating to about a gram. I hadn't smoked in a few weeks, so this alone hit me pretty hard. Then at 11pm I smoked another bowl, and at about 12pm I drank the first shot of LSA laced tequila, I felt an immediate increase in my marijuana high, and an intense body high. My pupils were overly dilated, but not quite as dilated as they were on brugmansia (hell's bells). I felt an excessively hot feeling, and a rapid heart flutter as if I had just ran a mile. Next I felt a head rush, muscle relaxation, a body high, tingles in back, and especially legs, at some points I couldn't feel them. I had blurred vision, and lights seemed unusually bright. Later on I had leg and body jitters with an excessive thirst, much more intense than the weed side effect. I could imagine somewhat like the early stages of an acid trip.
At around 1am I smoked a few more bowls, accumulating to about another gram, which seemed to calm the jitters and bring me back up to another plateau. Then at 1:30am I drank another shot of the tequila laced with LSA, it enhanced my high, but was no where near as powerful as the initial onset. I eventually fell asleep at around 2:45.
I look forward to trying morning glory seeds again, only in larger quantities. I can see how a larger amount could produce heavily psychadelic effects, next time, I would probably let the seed meal soak longer in the water before filtering it, and use as many seeds as I could get. This was a great experience without any nausea, fish eyes, or psychological breakdown, and I would suggest it to anyone interested in the experience.

On the 24th of May, 1863, my uncle, Professor Liedenbrock, rushed into his little house, No. 19 Königstrasse, one of the oldest streets in the oldest portion of the city of Hamburg.
Martha must have concluded that she was very much behindhand, for the dinner had only just been put into the oven.
"Well, now," said I to myself, "if that most impatient of men is hungry, what a disturbance he will make!"
"M. Liedenbrock so soon!" cried poor Martha in great alarm, half opening the dining–room door.
"Yes, Martha; but very likely the dinner is not half cooked, for it is not two yet. Saint Michael's clock has only just struck half–past one."
"Then why has the master come home so soon?"
"Perhaps he will tell us that himself."
"Here he is, Monsieur Axel; I will run and hide myself while you argue with him."
And Martha retreated in safety into her own dominions.
I was left alone. But how was it possible for a man of my undecided turn of mind to argue successfully with so irascible a person as the Professor? With this persuasion I was hurrying away to my own little retreat upstairs, when the street door creaked upon its hinges; heavy feet made the whole flight of stairs to shake; and the master of the house, passing rapidly through the dining–room, threw himself in haste into his own sanctum.
But on his rapid way he had found time to fling his hazel stick into a corner, his rough broadbrim upon the table, and these few emphatic words at his nephew:
"Axel, follow me!"
I had scarcely had time to move when the Professor was again shouting after me:
"What! not come yet?"
And I rushed into my redoubtable master's study.
Otto Liedenbrock had no mischief in him, I willingly allow that; but unless he very considerably changes as he grows older, at the end he will be a most original character.
He was professor at the Johannaeum, and was delivering a series of lectures on mineralogy, in the course of every one of which he broke into a passion once or twice at least. Not at all that he was over–anxious about the improvement of his class, or about the degree of attention with which they listened to him, or the success which might eventually crown his labours. Such little matters of detail never troubled him much. His teaching was as the German philosophy calls it, 'subjective'; it was to benefit himself, not others. He was a learned egotist. He was a well of science, and the pulleys worked uneasily when you wanted to draw anything out of it. In a word, he was a learned miser.
Germany has not a few professors of this sort.
To his misfortune, my uncle was not gifted with a sufficiently rapid utterance; not, to be sure, when he was talking at home, but certainly in his public delivery; this is a want much to be deplored in a speaker. The fact is, that during the course of his lectures at the Johannaeum, the Professor often came to a complete standstill; he fought with wilful words that refused to pass his struggling lips, such words as resist and distend the cheeks, and at last break out into the unasked–for shape of a round and most unscientific oath: then his fury would gradually abate.
Now in mineralogy there are many half–Greek and half–Latin terms, very hard to articulate, and which would be most trying to a poet's measures. I don't wish to say a word against so respectable a science, far be that from me. True, in the august presence of rhombohedral crystals, retinasphaltic resins, gehlenites, Fassaites, molybdenites, tungstates of manganese, and titanite of zirconium, why, the most facile of tongues may make a slip now and then.
It therefore happened that this venial fault of my uncle's came to be pretty well understood in time, and an unfair advantage was taken of it; the students laid wait for him in dangerous places, and when he began to stumble, loud was the laughter, which is not in good taste, not even in Germans. And if there was always a full audience to honour the Liedenbrock courses, I should be sorry to conjecture how many came to make merry at my uncle's expense.
Nevertheless my good uncle was a man of deep learning – a fact I am most anxious to assert and reassert. Sometimes he might irretrievably injure a specimen by his too great ardour in handling it; but still he united the genius of a true geologist with the keen eye of the mineralogist. Armed with his hammer, his steel pointer, his magnetic needles, his blowpipe, and his bottle of nitric acid, he was a powerful man of science. He would refer any mineral to its proper place among the six hundred [l] elementary substances now enumerated, by its fracture, its appearance, its hardness, its fusibility, its sonorousness, its smell, and its taste.
The name of Liedenbrock was honourably mentioned in colleges and learned societies. Humphry Davy, [2] Humboldt, Captain Sir John Franklin, General Sabine, never failed to call upon him on their way through Hamburg. Becquerel, Ebelman, Brewster, Dumas, Milne–Edwards, Saint–Claire–Deville frequently consulted him upon the most difficult problems in chemistry, a science which was indebted to him for considerable discoveries, for in 1853 there had appeared at Leipzig an imposing folio by Otto Liedenbrock, entitled, "A Treatise upon Transcendental Chemistry," with plates; a work, however, which failed to cover its expenses.
To all these titles to honour let me add that my uncle was the curator of the museum of mineralogy formed by M. Struve, the Russian ambassador; a most valuable collection, the fame of which is European.
Such was the gentleman who addressed me in that impetuous manner. Fancy a tall, spare man, of an iron constitution, and with a fair complexion which took off a good ten years from the fifty he must own to. His restless eyes were in incessant motion behind his full–sized spectacles. His long, thin nose was like a knife blade. Boys have been heard to remark that that organ was magnetised and attracted iron filings. But this was merely a mischievous report; it had no attraction except for snuff, which it seemed to draw to itself in great quantities.
When I have added, to complete my portrait, that my uncle walked by mathematical strides of a yard and a half, and that in walking he kept his fists firmly closed, a sure sign of an irritable temperament, I think I shall have said enough to disenchant any one who should by mistake have coveted much of his company.
He lived in his own little house in Königstrasse, a structure half brick and half wood, with a gable cut into steps; it looked upon one of those winding canals which intersect each other in the middle of the ancient quarter of Hamburg, and which the great fire of 1842 had fortunately spared.
[1] Sixty–three. (Tr.)
[2] As Sir Humphry Davy died in 1829, the translator must be pardoned for pointing out here an anachronism, unless we are to assume that the learned Professor's celebrity dawned in his earliest years. (Tr.)
It is true that the old house stood slightly off the perpendicular, and bulged out a little towards the street; its roof sloped a little to one side, like the cap over the left ear of a Tugendbund student; its lines wanted accuracy; but after all, it stood firm, thanks to an old elm which buttressed it in front, and which often in spring sent its young sprays through the window panes.
My uncle was tolerably well off for a German professor. The house was his own, and everything in it. The living contents were his god–daughter Gräuben, a young Virlandaise of seventeen, Martha, and myself. As his nephew and an orphan, I became his laboratory assistant.
I freely confess that I was exceedingly fond of geology and all its kindred sciences; the blood of a mineralogist was in my veins, and in the midst of my specimens I was always happy.
In a word, a man might live happily enough in the little old house in the Königstrasse, in spite of the restless impatience of its master, for although he was a little too excitable – he was very fond of me. But the man had no notion how to wait; nature herself was too slow for him. In April, after a had planted in the terra–cotta pots outside his window seedling plants of mignonette and convolvulus, he would go and give them a little pull by their leaves to make them grow faster. In dealing with such a strange individual there was nothing for it but prompt obedience. I therefore rushed after him.


Just noticed that the kwhd feeds have played up. Showing large negative values such as -200 and -3000.
it seems to be the php feeds. I have another system running also on emoncms.org and the mysql feeds are correct but the php ones have also played up.
The inputs and feeds into emoncms seem to be ok as graphs and gauges are ok The inputs page are showing the correct values too.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Edit: seemed to be something to do with daylight savings time at the server. Today has been ok, but as others have pointed out it seems like it will be stuck in the history.
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
I was about to post my own topic, but this seems to be the same problem that I have in my local emoncms installation. In my case it is clearly due to the summer time change at 4:00 am. The time from 3:00 to 4:00 is repeated two times (as it was the case, I don't know what could be done about this) and the second time the kWh feeds are dropping rapidly, as you can see in the screenshot attached.
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Hi All,
I have experienced exactly the same by this morning and i am wondering if there is a way to remove those negative peaks from the data, as they are completely ruined my consumption summary values. My system is also running on emoncms.org
I searched through the forum and found only one post, about some plans of the improvement on how to handle the DST changes (http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/4008).
So according to this, the DST change caused problems in the past also.
I am quite new here to remember those problems, and also those problems could be different ones, but i did not find any older posts about DST related problems,so i would be very grateful if someone could help me on this.
Thank you
Regards
Attila
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Just to confirm I have observed this too on my emoncms.org kwhd feeds
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
The problem is that we are not talking about a instanteneous peak that can be removed. If that was the case there is a script here on the forums called remove_spike.php that can be used to fix this (on local installations at least).
The problem here is that for a whole hour the the kwh were dropping and all values since then are wrong. I am more happy it was an once in a year bug and not something else, but I really don't believe there is a way right now to fix the feeds and restore the normal values.
I really love emoncms and I understand the need to move the data storage engine from mysql to the current system. But the problem is we are severely limited to accessing and manipulating the raw data. We need a better system of editing, or at least a system to export the data and import them again, after corrections.
Software and hardware bugs, will always happen especially in an evolving project like this. It's really a pity for data to be permanently corrupted by them. It also prevents us for experimenting more in fear of corrupting the data.
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
any idea how you re-edit the data ?
I'd like to fix it as the graphs are messed up.
if it were in a database it would be rather trivial with a simple add this to that after that date. But with the time data I don't know where it is / how to do it.
As its "only" the calculated kwh & kwhd values that are affected is there anyway to re-generate that data?
If we could re-generate that the issue would be resolved no?
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Thanks for heads up on this. I can see the error in the kwhd feeds. I need to look at what would be involved to get the realtime and bargraph editor working again, now that the storage engine development is stable, it would be a good time to look at it again. Il update on how I get on.
For anyone interested in how the storage engines work I've written some documentation on it here: https://github.com/openenergymonitor/documentation/tree/master/BuildingB...
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Could this have anything to do with summer time ending? We 'put back' our clocks on Saturday evening..... That's when my kwhd visualisation went negative, though the power readings were correct.
My negative spikes started at Sat, 25 Oct 2014 23:00:00 GMT (unix time of<PHONE_NUMBER>) and in one case it was a completely new bar ; i.e. the normal positive values we produced correctly.
Eamonn
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
I think Robpeel had decided that! For my two penn'orth, there's only one way to do this: convert to or get the times in UTC before storing in the database, and convert back to local when labelling the graph. Anything else is bound to screw up when DST starts/ends.
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Hi Trystan
Any update on getting the kwh feeds fixed? At the moment all my graphs are weird due to the very strange numbers.
Using the editdaily view it looks like there are 2 readings for the day of the time change.
When does the calculation of the "daily" data run? I would guess at 1am or around then - hence the double numbers. I would imagine in spring it will be ok as there will only be one 1am!
Thanks
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
A little progress, thankyou for waiting:
editrealtime and editdaily accessible from Vis then 'select visualisation' are now re-enabled on the emoncms.org server. However the support for editing is currently dependent on the feed engine:
- Editing of historical data is supported by PHPFina, PHPTimeSeries, MYSQL & PHPTimeStore
- New data points older than the latest data point can be added in PHPFina but not in PHPTimeSeries.
- PHPFiwa does not yet support editing of historical data.
I've disabled the 'delete data in window' button and 'scale data in window' feature as both where only supported by the timestore engine. It would be good to reintroduce them in the future with more work to the feed engines.
At the moment its not possible to delete the double reading - only to resize it/change the value. Il try and look further into making it possible to delete the reading.
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Hi Trystan,
How do you re-generate that data in its entirety?
The edits are available on the locally hosted install but i don't know what the "correct" numbers would be. Also all the future records are incorrect - one of the graphs now has its upwards trajectory "reset" (the kwh data) ie the data goes :
Time - reading.
00:50 - 509
01:00 - 509
01:10 - 506
01:50 - 495
01:00 - 368 <<<< BST -> GMT
01:10 - 368
07:00 - 370
why the data was going downwards during that time I don't know. its an accumalator ...
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
@octagon are you using the wh_accumulator or just the plain accumulator input processor? The plain accumulator can result in descending trends if the value that is being accumulated is negative. I dont think what your seeing is related to the BST->GMT change, can you see this happen at any other point in your data? Could the negative input be generated outside of emoncms somehow?
Do you have a power feed that you could use to regenerate the kwh data? What feed engine is the power feed?
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
it goes :
input -> log->kwh->kwhd->hist
its recording the power used on one circuit that has no generation on it at all !
this negative thing has never happened before.
Its the data feed from the emontxv3 don't know how it would make negative data?
its a PHPTIMESERIES data feed
How do i get it to regenerate the data from the log into the kwh / kwhd & hist ?
Thanks
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
There isn't an in-built mechanism for regenerating feeds at the moment so we would need to write a script to do this. is your power feed PHPTIMESERIES? I would have thought it would be PHPFiwa or PHPFina, or older timestore? phptimestore?
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Here's an example of how to read from a phptimeseries feed directly using php:
https://github.com/emoncms/usefulscripts/blob/master/enginereaders/phpti...
The next step is to run each datapoint through the math's that calculates accumulating kwh and then write the resultant datapoints to a feed.
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
This is how to do the same in python:
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Heres a complete script for converting phptimeseries power data to phpfina kwh data:
https://github.com/emoncms/usefulscripts/blob/master/process/phptimeseri...
The phpfina feed will need to have been created in emoncms already with the interval set. The source and target feed id's and feed engine locations as well as installed emoncms location needs to be set in the script. Then the script can be run using sudo with:
sudo php phptimeseries_power_to_phpfina_kwh.php
After completing this, its probably best to reset redis with
$ redis-cli
flushall
That should do it. I havent been able to test it as I dont have a phptimeseries power feed here yet althought I might create another script so that I can generate one for testing
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
I've tested it and it works a treat! Might be useful for anyone who has a power feed and kwh per day data but would also like to generate accumulating kwh data to use with the new myelectric dashboard or the new bargraph visualisation.
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
phpfina power to phpfina kwh data:
https://github.com/emoncms/usefulscripts/blob/master/process/phpfina_pow...
phpfiwa power to phpfina kwh data:
https://github.com/emoncms/usefulscripts/blob/master/process/phpfiwa_pow...
An important thing to note is that its important to double check that the target phpfina feed is empty otherwise it will overwrite the target phpfina feed and so could result in data loss.
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
hi
all the calculated kwh & kwhd are all PHPTIMESERIES only the histograms are PHPfwia
Could you include into the emoncms distro a "recalc" button?
Some of my inputs have multiple process steps to get to the correct numbers. and so re-doing them (kwh & kwhd & histo) isn't going to be easy.
I'm on version 8.3.5 - dunno how out of date that is...
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
@octagon emoncms isnt unfortunately set up in a way to make this kind of batch conversion process easy to do at the moment Having a recalculate button would be amazing I agree but to implement its really a complex bit of development.
I've further improved on the conversion scripts above they now run 4x faster and I've merged the three different scripts into one:
https://github.com/emoncms/usefulscripts/blob/master/process/power_to_kw...
To use this script download the usefulscripts to the machine emoncms is running on and open power_to_kwh.php in an editor.
If your emoncms installation is located in a location other than /var/www/emoncms then change the line: chdir("/var/www/emoncms"); to point to your emoncms location.
Under the settings section set your source power feed feed id and set the engine manually. Create a new PHPFina feed in emoncms with a suitable time interval then set the $target setting to this newly created feed:
$source = 27;
$source_engine = Engine::PHPFINA; // or: Engine::PHPFINA, Engine::PHPTIMESERIES
$target = 50484; // must be a PHPFINA feed
Save the script and exit.
Run with:
$ sudo php power_to_kwh.php
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
amusingly (?) these lines
require "Lib/PHPFina.php";
require "Lib/PHPFiwa.php";
require "Lib/PHPTimeSeries.php";
don't work. as they don't exist in my install.
Should i change the path to Modules/feed/engine/.......
Or just download yours?
Thanks
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
@octagon, you will need to download the full 'usefulscripts' repository/folder with all those files in there. They will all then be in the right location and it should run ok.
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
@octagon I noticed you mention your histograms use the PHPFiwa engine above, they should be using MYSQL, if they are using PHPFiwa then they may have got created incorrectly and probably dont have any data in them?
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Hi Trystan,
I don't have local emoncms installed, but I am using emoncms.org to store my data. I do have 2 feeds affected with this problem. Both are kwh/d and are PHPTIMESERIES. (Below an example on the invalid values.)
Is there a way to fix these for non-locally installed emoncms as well somehow?

Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Hi Trystan
I've got a type2 PV system. I'm recording 2 data points to allow me to track the combination of consumption, generation, flow to the grid and flow from the grid and the combined to/from the grid. This way I can see what i'm exporting/importing/generating/consuming. so the set of log->kwh->kwhd->histogram happens
All my histograms a PHPFIWA.
All my data feeds are from a REALTIME::TIMESTORE data log.
Can you convert from them ?
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Hello @octagon, I've added the ability to process Timestore feeds via the PHPTimestore reader. That should allow you to at least recalculate the kwh data which will mean you can use the bargraph as configured at the bottom of this blog post to show daily kwh value: http://openenergymonitor.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/monitoring-solarpv-heatp...
Il create a processor for kwh/d data next. Im still confused as to why your historgram data is labeled as PHPFiwa, can you share a screen shot of what you see there, and the historgram data?
@Attila Can you edit the values manually via Vis > editdaily to get them in the expected region? Realistically Im still quite some way from having an automated system that could recalculate on emoncms.org.
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
screenshots of my feed list and the generation histogram.
I'll re-generate the kwh data later !
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Hi Trystan,
Many-many thanks for the hint! Basically by changing those two values, did the trick, and the graphs and values are now in synch with the real consumption.
Thank you again!
Regards,
Attila
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Hi Trystan,
I need the output to be a PHPTIMESERIES as they do the variable interval with no averaging.
or should i be using the fixed interval with no averaging (FINA) ?
What should make me choose one or the other? I had gone for the variable interval as some of my inputs only give 5 min feeds.
Thanks!
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Hello @octagon, fixed interval no averaging is the best to use for accumulating kwh data, phptimeseries is needed for daily data as the midnight time changes at summer time hour changes but kwh data is at a much more regular time interval ie 10s so phpfina is more suitable. The added benefit is that phpfina is much faster to search to kwh per day data generated from kwh data is extracted and calculated much faster than if the feed was stored in phptimeseries data.
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Hi Trystan,
The recalculated FINA data seems to have fixed the BST/GMT issue.
To extract the correct data types for each scenario would you suggest then
REALTIME::TIMESTORE for the "raw" data
FINA for the kwh data
MYSQL for the histogram data
What for the kwhd and any others?
Any reason for not using mysql for them all?
Thanks!
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Great good to hear you've got a kwh feed recalculated, brilliant!
I would recommend REALTIME PHPFIWA or PHPFIWA for "raw"/power data. PHPFINA for kwh data, PHPTIMESERIES for daily data and MYSQL for histogram data. There are good reasons for all these feed engines, I wrote a history of emoncms feed engine development here https://github.com/openenergymonitor/documentation/blob/master/BuildingB...
Im going to extend this feed processor to allow conversion of any engine to any other engine, so you could convert your timestore feeds to phpfiwa.
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Hi Trystan
If you could finish those converters i would imagine a few others will be very interested
obviously with the kwhD and histogram ones. Then i can recalculate all my data. Think it will be best done with emoncms not running. sadly each feed will take about an hour!
FYI telling the system to save every 1000 records shaved a bit of time - only 3 mins but every helps.
Could you update the emonCMS with more text as to which you should choose when adding a feed. When i saw "With averaging" i thought oh no it will remove the peaks of the data, rather than Oh goody it will add a second or third data set comprising of the averaged data *in* addition to the raw data.
Thanks
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
If i move my feed to use a new FINA data set for the KWH data - can i recalculate into that data set in real time - ie both the conversion and "now" use the same target data set? or would that make things explode?
Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Is it a question of telling the RPi running my copy of EmonCMS to ignore daylight saving and just stick to Zulu or GMT+0 to avoid this situation in the future?
I only started logging more complicated stuff since the last hour change, but if I can avoid it happening to/impacting 6 months of data in the future by telling it to avoid time changes then that should make things simpler.

Re: emoncms.org kwhd php feeds playing up
Having fought this problem a long time before the Internet (in relation to logging the running hours of motors!), I believe there's only one solution, and that is that the database must only keep time as UTC. Incoming times must be converted to UTC, and outgoing times must be labelled as Localnote according to the offset in force at the time, which in turn implies that a record of when DST is in force needs to be referenced. Of course, I recognise that this means that 'days' and larger units do not start at 00:00 database time, which complicates data retrieval. And that's why the change to or from DST never touches or crosses midnight, so that there is at least no confusion over the day.
Zag, I think your proposal will make things consistent. Whether it will make everything simpler is a totally different question.
(Note) By 'labelled', I mean the graph or histogram is plotted using UTC but the time axis labels are local. Therefore in the UK around midnight on 25/26th October, the hours would be shown correctly as ... 23:00 0:00 01:00 01:00 02:00 03:00 ...

Campaign urges 'don't give cash to those preying on the public's goodwill'
by Mariam GhaemiA charity is renewing its call urging people not to give cash to those on Bury St Edmunds' streets as they may be "tricking the public" into believing they are homeless.
Bury Drop In is instead encouraging members of the public to give directly to the charity through its Looking for Change campaign, which supports those who genuinely don't have a roof over their heads.
It comes at a time when the town centre has been plagued by street drinking, aggressive begging and antisocial behaviour - the vast majority of which has been caused by people who either have their own home or are jeopardising their place in temporary accommodation.
West Suffolk Council, which backs the campaign, said it's about ensuring people's donations "aren't simply going into the pockets of professional beggars and street drinkers who are tricking the public into believing they don't have a roof over their heads".
David Bonnett, chairman of Bury Drop In, said: "We first launched Looking for Change last autumn and the public support has been great raising around £6,000.
"It has helped people who were once homeless, get equipment to help them study, it has helped a victim of childhood abuse get to therapy sessions which in turn has helped them stay clean from drugs and start their own business.
"And it has bought items of furniture for people who were once on the streets, but are ready to move into a home of their own."
The money given to Looking for Change helps people who have been rough sleeping, have stayed in temporary accommodation while they got support for any mental health or addiction issues and who are ready to move into more settled and permanent housing.
Davina Howes, assistant director for families and communities at West Suffolk Council, said: "We have temporary and emergency accommodation in place to help those people who we know are rough sleeping in Bury St Edmunds.
"We know who they are because we regularly talk to them, whether at the Drop In or as part of the work of our rough sleeper outreach team which includes going out and carrying out welfare checks on people who are rough sleeping.
"Not everybody is ready to be helped and even when they are, the team works hard to ensure people don't slip back into old habits and get evicted from the accommodation we have found for them. That's why Looking for Change is so important - it is about giving the right help to make a real difference to people's lives."
Town Clerk Greg Luton, of Bury St Edmunds Town Council, added: "We all want to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves and we aren't asking anybody to stop caring or helping - just to do it in a way that may not feel the most gratifying, but will offer the individuals the greatest chance of turning their lives around."
The campaign is also backed by Suffolk police and Ourburystedmunds Business Improvement District (BID) group.
Mark Cordell, chief executive of the BID, said: "While the council, police and Ourburystedmunds are working together to address this ongoing issue, one of the ways people can help is by simply not giving money to anybody on the streets. If you want to help those people who are genuinely rough sleeping the please donate to the Looking for Change campaign."
Inspector Matt Paisley, of Bury St Edmunds Police, said: "We recognise there is a balance between the people who are genuinely in need which the Drop In and the council are trying to help, and those who are preying on the public's goodwill.
"Our role is working with the council and local business representatives to address the aggressive begging, street drinking and antisocial behaviour in the town.
"Looking for Change is one of the practical ways the public can play their part and help us at the same time."

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!
Back on May 22, 2010, Lazlo Hanyecz made the first retail bitcoin transaction when he bartered 10,000 BTC for 2 Papa John’s Pizzas. At current prices those two pizzas would be worth a smooth $82 million. Tasty, huh?
This was a huge event for cryptocurrencies though. While Bitcoin had been around for over a year it was only used in geeky circles as a pastime and concept. This finally gave a reference point for what the value of a bitcoin could be established at. Now 8 years later we simply value Pizza a whole lot less than we do a BTC (at the time this would have been worth about $40.)
This event has birthed new Pizza milestones for our favorite crypto too. Earlier this year Lazlo returned to make the first ever Lightning powered Bitcoin transaction when he paid 649000 satoshis, or 0.00649 bitcoins, which equals around $62 for both pizzas. (It seems the only thing dropping in these valuations is the reference $)

Steem Powered Pizza?
This made me stop to think if there’s been a Steem Pizza Day yet? If not I’d like to be the first person to make it happen! If you are willing to order me two Pizzas for delivery tonight at 6pm then I will pay $40 worth of STEEM/SBD (roughly 12.780 STEEM or 18.100 SBD) to make it happen.
The Order
If you would like to be the one to make the first Steem powered Pizza Day a reality then comment below! After we agree on who will order the pizza I will let you call my local Big City Pizza (I wanted to stick with Papa Johns but they didn’t want to work with me on the delivery) and tell them you have a delivery order for Patrick. After they receive the order and payment I’ll then send your choice of STEEM/SBD back for the purchase.
Big City Pizza -<PHONE_NUMBER>
Pizza #1 - Large Veggie
Pizza #2 - Large Meat Pizza
The order total should be around $35 from what I’ve been told by the shop so I will essentially be paying someone $5 to buy $35 worth of Steem. Who’s game?

One of the external packages that TwoSampleMR depends upon had changed, making the authorisation behaviour change. The authorisation was timing out after an hour and it was not refreshing after its timeout. This has now been fixed - the authorisation token will refresh after an hour.
The authorisation token used to be stored in a hidden file called .httr-oauth. This has now been changed - it will be stored in a visible file called ‘mrbase.oauth’.

A web page concept using time of day to change images.
Using simple Javascript to set time and delays.
Note: Video below is time lapsed and has added smooth transitions.
Usage:
Unzip the folder and run the index.html
in your browser.
Customise:
Show images as background
, foreground
, or both.
See comments in shadows.js
for instructions.
Change the image set to your own if required.
Change the image src
in the shadows.js
file.
Instead of waiting an hour or more, you can test your images by uncommenting the var time = new Date().getSeconds();
line in the shadows.js
file.
Don’t forget to comment out the other line.
Change the setTimeout(start, 5000);
to 500
if using seconds.
Change the index.html
and style.css
to suit your needs.
That’s about it.
Notes:
If you are running this on an online server the image sizes would need to be reduced, or better still create your own svg
images.

This self portrait was created in processing by using various shapes and code. This was my first experience using processing; This representation of myself was inspired by the avatar style in Minecraft. this project allowed me to learn a new program that involves coding to create digital art and put myself in the digital space within a portrait.


Welcome to OasisOLC, one of the most popular online creation (OLC) systems for the CircleMUD code base. The package originated as a room editor (redit) and item editor (iedit) written by Levork. Harvey Gilpin then took the package and cleaned it up in a new 1996 release called OasisOLC. He renamed iedit to oedit, created a zone editor (zedit), wrote the shop editor (sedit), and crafted the mobile editor (medit). He also created a generic 'olc' module to handle the similiar code of the various editors. It was quite an ambitious undertaking and after its release, including the improved editor, many people reported problems when saving mobiles to memory or when creating a new zone. Various unofficial fixes and feature enhancements to OasisOLC surfaced on ftp.circlemud.org, but still the crashes remained. Harvey did not have the time to find these bugs. Around September of 1997, George Greer became sick of the repeated messages to the CircleMUD mailing list and decided to fix it, not knowing that he would be hacking on it much more than just for fixing bugs. He may one day (most likely around version 2.0) turn the entire project over to someone who will take it further.
Originally based on CircleMUD bpl9, OasisOLC relies on a menuing system for all changes. The other popular OLC system for CircleMUD is the OBuild package by Sammy which uses a command line system. There have been many debates about which is better. In my own experience, it is a chore to make them both coexist happily. Therefore, OasisOLC v2.0 will rely on a library of functions called GenOLC v1.0 which will present a non-OLC-specific way to add to the world. This wacky concept will be extended to OBuild when mostly finished adding all of the various other Oasis editors to the distribution. Then with OBuild and OasisOLC both using the same routines to manipulate the world, nothing will be out of sync and builders may freely switch between the two of them. Someone could feasibly create the room in OasisOLC and then fix typos, adjust room flags, or add exits later with OBuild, or vice versa. While v2.0 will not integrate OBuild and OasisOLC, it is planned for a future minor revision.
Another project would be loadable OasisOLC modules for editing various things without having to rewrite the menu system. Theoretically it would allow such things as customizable menus for all your builders or to plug-in MobProgs or Death's Gate Scripts much easier. However, this project will not make the v2.0 release.
Don't forget you have to mail Rv (Harvey Gilpin) if you use the package. A simple message, something like "It's crap! You suck!" would do, or so he says. Many people find it to be a very useful online creation system. There are also a few restrictions on the use of this code placed by him:
Don't forget to credit Harvey Gilpin and George Greer also.
Please remember to back up your world files! Any software package may (will) have bugs and could potentially cause a loss of data, world files, or your sanity. A backup of your world may be accomplished in Linux or other related operating systems by doing the below:
To back it up: tar -cvf backup.tar lib/world/ To restore it: tar -xvf backup.tar You should also compress your backup: gzip -9 backup.tar And to decompress it later: gzip -d backup.tar
Rv has tried to make this system as reliant as possible on the tables that already exist in the Circle code, so that when the mud changes, the OLC will be able to deal with it. However, the system does need to know some information about the tables sizes, and those that are not already defined in structs.h have been placed in olc.h.
If you want the OLC to react to changes you make to tables within your mud you must update the defines in the top of olc.h.
Version 2.0 of OasisOLC will allow user-definable colors. However, since I haven't released this yet I'm going to delay it until a future minor release.
If you want to add new features to the OLC, for pointers on how to go about it, look at the commented out code for object level flags in oedit.c.
There is a user-definable toggle, PRF_CLS, for whether OasisOLC should clear the screen on menus.
Due to the way Extended mobs are implemented it is impossible to know what individual MUDs do with them. So when medit writes the mob files out to disk it can only deal with those it knows about. Any other one that were there get erased. If you want to use extended mobs in your mud, you MUST edit the save_mobiles() function in genmob.c so that it knows how to save them.
There are numerous better documents on how to use OasisOLC. Please check the CircleMUD developer site and the CircleMUD FTP site for more documentation.
