Who is The Forever Lasting
The Forever Lasting is a band based out of Nashville, TN and also started in Los Angeles, CA. They're mission is to provide hope through the music the record in the studio, and also perform live in concert.
About Alex Ford
Thomas Alexander Ford, goes by the name "Alex." Grew up in a small town in Indiana called Coatesville. Growing up near Pittsboro, IN, Alex's first love was motor sports and watching his first hero, Jeff Gordon, have a very successful NASCAR career.
When Alex was 12 years old he picked up a bass guitar for the first time and completely fell in love with music. His passion for music outweighs his enjoyment of sports. He went on to teach himself acoustic guitar, electric guitar, vocals, and to an extent, drums.
His other joy besides music, is to just be around people. Meet them, talk with them, and get to know some more.
Mr. Ford hopes you will enjoy his band's music as much as he does and hopes he will see you at one the upcoming shows.
Musicians
Adrian Perez Adrian grew up banging on anything he could put his hands to; needless to say, he used to drive his mom crazy with the noise.
Andrew Orocozo Andrew is insane on the bass. We are all just surprised he hasn't smashed one after our performances.
Ryan Nelson Ryan is our musical engineer but he also plays a mean guitar .

DiaMetrics is an Angular web application meant to improve diabetes healthcare outcomes. DiaMetrics takes the data from a diabetic's life and plots the glucose levels against time throughout the day. It lists only the past 24 hours worth of data as to only contain relevant information. Calculations are also done based on the food consumed, as the ratio of the carbohydrates and insulin are exponentially weighted through time in a moving average. This average weights relevant information more and depicts a proper insulin to glucose level ratio.
The primary motivation behind this was that one of our group members is afflicted with type 1 diabetes. Trying to make an web application to ease the viewing of blood sugar data only came naturally after. With the numpy Python library, we were also able to perform exponential weighted average calculations over the glucose to insulin ratio. This statistic monitors variations above the norm and will ideally be a safety net as it is predictive of trend changes. Easing the trouble of monitoring diabetes was simply personal to us.
I knew the most about Angular, so I wrote most of the website you are seeing now. The most challenging part was styling -- my background is mostly in backend development, and the transition to frontend has been both difficult and rewarding.
I worked on the backend, creating the data models in Django. I also created the Django REST API, for interfacing with the TypeScript frontend.
I applied numerical statistics to develop the algorithm that checks the ratio of glucose to carbohydrates through an exponentially weighted moving average calculation. I also did not have previous web development experience, so learning Angular and embedding a Highcharts chart was also of relevance to me in this project.
I worked on documentation and back end work. Setting up the domain was also under my responsibility.


# Npgsql multiplexing A high-performance database driver model --- ## whoami * Shay Rojansky * Engineer at Microsoft, part of the .NET data team * Lead dev of Npgsql, PostgreSQL driver for .NET * Linux guy * Based in Berlin Note: Started with Slackware around 1995 --- ## Who is Npgsql? * .NET open-source driver for PostgreSQL * There's also an EF Core provider, but we'll focus on the low-level (ADO.NET). * Bottom of the stack - beneath us is the .NET runtime * Supposed to be a boring component! --- ## Performance TechEmpower Round 20 (Feb 2021) ![TechEmpower round 20 composite scores](img/techempower.png "Logo Title Text 1")
... running on Linux with PostgreSQL
Note: * Already old (Feb 2021) * Does not include newer improvements for .NET 6 * Many of these are experiments, not full-fledged web frameworks etc. * The first Fortunes MySQL entry is 44th place --- ## What's this talk about? * Multiplexing is an experimental perf feature released in November 2020 (Npgsql 5.0). * Other database drivers do this, but not in the .NET world. * Connection pooling, network buffering, coalescing, and a whole lot of low-level perf goodness. --- # Let's begin! --- # Traditional connection pooling --- ## Typical low-level DB code ```csharp await using var connection = new NpgsqlConnection("..."); await connection.OpenAync(); await using var command = new NpgsqlCommand("SELECT * FROM foo", connection); await using var reader = await command.ExecuteReaderAsync(); // Consume results from the reader ``` --- ## Connection pooling * Opening a physical connection every time is slow. * Network roundtrip(s) (TLS!) * In PG, spawn process for each connection * Like every perf problem in the universe, the answer is caching, or connection pooling --- ## Connection pooling flow ![Traditional connection sequence diagram](diagrams/traditional-sequence-diagram.svg) --- ## Where to pool? * #1: In .NET: in-process pooling, in the driver. * #2: Java: the pool is a separate standard API. * #3: Out-of-process (pgbouncer2, pgpool, odyssey). * In-process is faster (zero network overhead) and easier to set up. * External allows pooling across multiple app instances. ![Why not both](img/why-not-both.jpeg) Note: * The connection pool is the one component dealing with concurrency and shared mutable state. * I used to think the Java pooling API model was great, but we'll see that it has drawbacks. --- ## Maximum connections * The pool always as a max connection size, setting an upper bound on server resources. * An attempt open when saturated waits until someone else releases (or until timeout). ![Open with wait](diagrams/open-wait.svg) Note: * Max Pool Size is 100 by default * Very important to have a hard limit (server resources). Compare with memory object pooling. --- # Let's evolve this! --- ## Empty trains * Physical connections are exclusively "locked" for the duration of the command. * We're sending out trains with only a single passenger each. ![Empty train](img/empty-train.png) --- ## Fill trains with passengers * We can fill the same train with multiple unrelated passengers ... * .. as long as they arrive around the same time. * Benefits: * Less TCP packet fragmentation * Less I/O system calls (both client and server) --- ## Without multiplexing ![Pool without multiplexing](diagrams/pool-without-multiplexing.svg) --- ## With Multiplexing
--- ## Busy trains * The more commands we pack into the same write, the more we save on overhead. * In TechEmpower Fortunes, we see around 23 commands per write. * For this to work, lots of commands need to be submitted simultaneously * Optimizes the massive load scenario --- ## Coalescing and Nagling * This is a form of implicit batching, or *coalescing*. * Nagle's algorithm: TCP/IP optimization to coalesce together small writes into a single packet. * Nagling works on a single TCP socket; we combine from multiple query producers. * Nagling compensates for poor application I/O practices (no buffering). * Typically disabled (TCP_NODELAY), because increases latency. --- # Advantage #1: ## Coalescing --- ## Perf benefits
Without multiplexing, the optimal RPS in TechEmpower Fortunes is
213,689
.
With multiplexing:
454,254
(112% improvement).
... but it's not just about the coalescing :)
--- ## Saturation * Remember: in traditional pooling, we wait when saturated - all connections are locked. * In multiplexing, we can do better: continue pushing commands to the database, even if they're busy! * We call this "overcapacity mode". --- ## Under capacity Use only idle connection as long as we can... ![Under capacity](diagrams/multiplexing-under-capacity.svg) --- ## Over capacity ... but keep pushing commands into busy connections ![Over capacity](diagrams/multiplexing-over-capacity.svg) --- ## Advantages * Pipelining: get commands to the DB faster, even while it's still processing previous commands. * As long as the DB is processing faster than we send, we're pipelining efficiently. * If we send faster than the DB processes, eventually TCP buffers get full (TCP zero window). * And we block, just like before. Note: If we get to TCP zero window, all bets are off - the DB is totally overloaded. --- # Advantage #2: ## Better handling of saturation --- ## How many DB connections should I have? * The answer depends on server resources, especially number of cores. * Also: are queries going to be doing lots of I/O? * If we increase (in-use) connections too much, we start to cause useless context-switching. Note: * Make it clear that TechEmpower Fortunes does very little I/O. --- ## Less connections * Thanks to multiplexing over-capacity, we can lower the connection count and not starve client-side. * Do more with less: far more efficient use of physical connections. * This helps the DB by reducing context switching. * Even at extremely low connection counts, we're still very efficient. * The multiplexing pool acts as a sort of "backpressure" for connections. --- ## Multiplexing benefits 1. Coalescing (less overhead) 2. Over-capacity mode (saturation) 3. Reduce number of connections needed
Showdown!
Non-multiplexing
Multiplexing
# We've talked about the good... ## ... now let's talk about the bad. --- ## Statelessness * Cannot do anything that involves connection state... * ... especially transactions. * Can still exclusively rent out connections, as before. Notes: * Other examples: temp tables, session variables... --- ## Head of line blocking * We get query results from the DB in the same order we sent them, FIFO. * Processing the results of a later query can only happen when earlier results were processing. * A slow query (or client-side processing!) can block other, unrelated producers. Note: * Resultset buffering: but memory. --- ## Some conclusions * Don't over-parallelize! * Stop thinking about connections! We just have database command producers. * Multiplexing relies on an in-process (and probably in-driver) pool. * Remember: the perf numbers we've seen are TechEmpower benchmarks, massive concurrent load. * This is all still a bit experimental! Notes: * The in-process comment: .NET is (inadvertently) in a good place --- ## The Npgsql team A special thanks to
Nikita Kazmin
and
Nino Floris
for their considerable work on multiplexing, and also to Brar Piening! --- Thank you! **Shay Rojansky**

Back to Tips
Getting a Legitimate Lender and Getting Pre-Approved
It used to be that buyers could go house shopping and when they have
found their dream home, then they go to get pre-approved. However, in
today’s market, that has proven to be one of the least effective methods
in landing the dream home.
Most lenders can pre-qualify you for a mortgage over the phone. Based on
general questions about your income, debt, assets, and credit history,
lenders can estimate how much mortgage you qualify for. However, being
pre-qualified and pre-approved are different things. Pre-approval means
that you have applied for a mortgage; you have filled out the mortgage
application, received your credit report, and verified your employment,
assets, etc. When you are pre-approved, you know exactly what the
maximum loan amount will be.
A pre-qualified letter is not verified and in essence, does not count
for much if you are competing with other buyers who are pre-approved.
When you are pre-approved, you and the seller know exactly how much
house you can afford. It gives you credibility as an interested buyer
and lets the seller know immediately that you will qualify for a loan to
buy their property.
In addition to being pre-approved, it’s important to be pre-approved
with a legitimate lender. Legitimate lenders include: banks, mortgage
bankers, credit unions, savings and loan associations, mortgage brokers,
and online lenders.
Some lenders to avoid: those who lose a form or misplace a file, those
who gather information from you in an unorganized manner, those who are
not informed about interest rates, points or costs, and those who cannot
provide you with the right information.

scrollutil::pagesman
– Create and manipulate
pagesman widgetsscrollutil::pagesman pathName ?options?
scrollutil::pagesman
command creates a new
window named pathName
and of the class
Pagesman
, and makes it into a pagesman
widget. Additional options, described below, may be specified on the
command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the
plainnotebook widget such as its width, height, borderwidth, and
relief. The scrollutil::pagesman
command returns
its pathName
argument. At the time this command
is invoked, there must not exist a window named
pathName
, but pathName
's parent
must exist.-background -highlightbackground -relief -borderwidth -highlightcolor -cursor -highlightthickness
-background
,
-highlightbackground
,
-highlightcolor
, and
-highlightthickness
options are only supported by the
Scrollutil package, but not by Scrollutil_tile. They have the same
default values as the options of the same names for Tk frame widgets.
The default values of the remaining standard options are:-borderwidth 0 -cursor "" -relief flat
| Command-Line Name: | -forgetcommand |
| Database Name: | forgetCommand |
| Database Class: | ForgetCommand |
Specifies a command to be invoked when attempting to unmanage a window with the aid of the
forget
subcommand. If the option's value is a nonempty string then it is concatenated with the path name of the pagesman widget and that of the window to be unmanaged, and the resulting script, which must return a boolean, is evaluated in the global scope. If the return value of this script is false then theforget
subcommand is aborted, i.e., the window is not unmanaged. The default is an empty string.
| Command-Line Name: | -height |
| Database Name: | height |
| Database Class: | Height |
If present and greater than zero, specifies the desired total height for the widget, including the border and highlight rectangle (if any) drawn around the outside of the widget, in any of the forms acceptable to
Tk_GetPixels
. Otherwise, the maximum height of all pages is used. The default is0
.
| Command-Line Name: | -leavecommand |
| Database Name: | leaveCommand |
| Database Class: | LeaveCommand |
Specifies a command to be invoked when attempting to leave the currently selected window by selecting a different one with the aid of the
select
subcommand. If the option's value is a nonempty string then it is concatenated with the path name of the pagesman widget and that of the currently selected window, and the resulting script, which must return a boolean, is evaluated in the global scope. If the return value of this script is false then the operation of selecting a different window is aborted. The default is an empty string.
| Command-Line Name: | -takefocus |
| Database Name: | takeFocus |
| Database Class: | TakeFocus |
This option determines whether the pagesman widget accepts the focus during keyboard traversal. It is almost identical to the standard option of the same name (see the options manual entry for details). The only difference is that not the pagesman widget itself but the currently selected window (if any) will receive the focus during keyboard traversal with the standard keys (
Tab
andShift-Tab
). The default is an empty string.
| Command-Line Name: | -width |
| Database Name: | width |
| Database Class: | Width |
If present and greater than zero, specifies the desired total width for the widget, including the border and highlight rectangle (if any) drawn around the outside of the widget, in any of the forms acceptable to
Tk_GetPixels
. Otherwise, the maximum width of all pages is used. The default is0
.
add
, insert
, pagecget
, and pageconfigure
commands:-padding
padding
padding
must be a list of up to
four nonnegative screen distances {left top
right bottom}
. If fewer than four elements
are specified, bottom
defaults to
top
, right
defaults to
left
, and top
defaults to
left
. A padding value specified as an empty
list is equivalent to 0
, which is the default.-sticky
stickyness
stickyness
must be a string
containing zero or more of the characters n
,
s
, e
, or
w
. Each letter refers to a side (north,
south, east, or west) that the page window will “stick” to, as per the
grid
geometry manager. The default stickyness
is nsew
.scrollutil::pagesman
command creates a new Tcl
command whose name is pathName
. This command
may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the
following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
option
and the arg
s determine
the exact behavior of the command. In the subcommand descriptions
below, pageIndex
always denotes a numerical page index,
which, with the exception of the insert
subcommand, must be greater than or equal
to zero and less than the number of pages. The following subcommands
are possible for pagesman widgets:pathName add window
?option value option value ...?
window
is already managed by the pagesman widget,
then the subcommand uses its optional arguments to update the options
of the corresponding page.pathName attrib
?name ?value name value ...??
name
is specified, the command returns a list of
pairs, each of which contains the name and the value of an attribute
for pathName
. If name
is
specified with no value
, then the command returns
the value of the one named attribute, or an empty string if no
corresponding value exists (you can use the hasattrib
subcommand to distinguish this
case from the one that the value of an existing attribute is an
empty string). If one or more
name
-value
pairs are specified,
then the command sets the given widget attribute(s) to the given
value(s); in this case the return value is an empty string. Each
name
may be an arbitrary string.pathName cget
option
option
, which may have any of the values accepted
by the scrollutil::pagesman
command.pathName configure
?option ?value option value

option
is specified, the command returns a
list describing all of the available options for
pathName
(see Tk_ConfigureInfo
for information on the format of this list). If
option
is specified with no
value
, then the command returns a list describing
the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
sublist of the value returned if no option
is
specified). If one or more
option
-value
pairs are
specified, then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have
the given value(s); in this case the return value is an empty
string. option

. See the
PAGE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS section for the
list of available options. If window
is
already managed by the pagesman widget, then the subcommand moves it to
the specified position and uses its optional arguments to update the
options of the corresponding page. If
pageIndex
is less than or equal to zero then the
window is prepended to the list of pages; if it is greater than or
equal to the number of pages then the window is appended to the list of
pages.pathName pageattrib
pageIndex ?name ?value name value

pageIndex
. If no name
is
specified, the command returns a list of pairs, each of which contains
the name and the value of an attribute for the page. If
name
is specified with no
value
, then the command returns the value of the
one named page attribute, or an empty string if no corresponding value
exists (you can use the haspageattrib
subcommand to distinguish
this case from the one that the value of an existing page
attribute is an empty string). If one or more
name

, then the command returns a list describing
the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding

I've been seeing these "Fork me on GitHub" ribbons popping up seemingly everywhere, which made me wonder how hard it would be to recreate the ribbons without images, using only CSS. Making the ribbons turned out to be a fun introduction to some new CSS toys in upcoming browsers.
The code to make a ribbon:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ribbon.css">
[...]

Fork me on GitHub

The first trick I went for was
-moz-transform
(-webkit-transform
). A simple
-moz-transform: rotate(45deg)
and I have a ribbon ready for
the right corner.
Once I tweaked the colors enough to look passable, the glaring
inconsistency was the font. The GitHub images don't use one of the 9 or
so web-safe fonts, which almost made me stop trying. But looking at the
blog post again,
they mention that the font is
Collegiate,
which is freely available on
fontriver.com. Using the new
@font-face
,
I can make the ribbon font match the image exactly:
@font-face {
font-family: Collegiate;
src: url("Collegiate.ttf");
}
.ribbon {
font-family: Collegiate, sans-serif;
}
I wasn't excited about @font-face
until I found a real
usage like this.
The blur surrounding the ribbon is achieved through
-moz-box-shadow
.
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 13px #888;
creates a dark shadow with
no vertical or horizontal offset and a blur radius of 13px
.
The last goody is -webkit-gradient, which is unfortunately only available in Webkit at this point. I hope it finds its way into Firefox soon. The ribbon images have a small background gradient which I recreate for the orange ribbon with:
.orange.ribbon {
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left bottom, left top,
from(#dc7202), to(#ee7906));
}
Of course, this isn't perfect. It's certainly easier to embed an image that works in any browser, but I think there's some compelling benefits to this method. For a web developer like me, it's much easier to customize the text and colors in CSS than it is to find someone who knows Photoshop.
I think that's the powerful idea in the next generation of browsers. They're taking a lot of the issues where we had to rely on tools outside the browser, like image editors and Flash, and moving them into the web space. It's a good time to be a web developer.
Note: this is broken is Webkit because the rotation isn't being applied
according to the
spec. The
rotation is pivoting on the top left corner instead of the center, as
seen by checking/unchecking the -webkit-transform
property
in the Inspector. I should file a bug.

Redshift
The Doppler effect applies to all waves, including the EM Spectrum. It is the change in the observed frequency of a wave being created by a moving object. We can observe this effect when looking at cosmological objects such as galaxies. We call it redshift (and blueshift) when referring to the changes in the light from the galaxies but it is still the Doppler effect. If we know what the original frequency of the wave was when it was emitted we can work out other information about the galaxy such as its velocity and distance relative to Earth. Lucky absorption lines exist.
Absorption Lines
Every element absorbs specific frequencies of the EM spectrum. This allows us to identify what elements objects are made up of by looking at what frequencies of lights are missing. If the object is moving the light we detect will be shifted to a higher or lower frequency. By comparing the absorption lines we detect with what we know they should be we can work out how fast the object is moving relative to ourselves. Move the green slider below to see what effect the galaxy's speed has on the light we detect from it.

class dijits.identify.Identify
dojo.require("dijits.identify.Identify");
defined in dijits/identify/Identify.js
This dijit lets the users identify features on the map. The identify operation is performed when the users click on the map. A list of features will be displayed upon completion of the identify operation. When the users move the cursor over a feature, a focus link will be displayed and the corresponding feature will be highlighted on the map. Clicking the focus link will zoom the map to the corresponding feature. The users can also click a feature in the list to get information about the attribute fields and values associated with the feature.
By default, the dijit is attached to the map like an info-window. But it can also be detached and moved anywhere within the page so that the map area is uncluttered. It has an options panel that lets the users change settings such as the map services on which the identify operation is performed and the tolerance.

| new dijits.identify.Identify( params, srcNodeRef? ) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Creates a new identify dijit using the given DOM node.
Parameters:
|
Methods
| Methods | Return Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| startup() | none | Finalizes the creation of this dijit. This method should be called after the constructor for this dijit is called and before letting the users interact with it. |
| getInfoWindowConnector() | InfoWindowConnector | Returns a reference to the connector that manages this dijit like an info-window. |
| destroy() | none | Releases all resources used by the dijit. This method should be called when an instance of this dijit is no longer needed in your application. |
Usage
Create the dijit with default parameters
var identifyDijit = new dijits.identify.Identify({ map: map }); identifyDijit.startup();
When the dijit is created in this fashion, the identify operation will be performed on all map service layers added to the map. However, the users will be able to select the map services from the "options" panel in the dijit.
Create the dijit with custom parameters
var identifyDijit = new dijits.identify.Identify({ map: map, defaultTolerance: 2, mapServices: [ { url: "http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Portland/Portland_ESRI_LandBase_AGO/MapServer/", name: "Portland Landbase", displayOptions: { "2": { layerAlias: "Tax lot", attributes: [ "TLID", "RNO" ] }, "3": { displayFieldName: "BUILD_ID" }, "4": { displayFieldName: "ZONEGEN_CL" } } } ], fillSymbol: new esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol( esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_DASHDOT, new dojo.Color([ 64, 64, 64, 1 ]), 2), new dojo.Color([ 0, 0, 255, 0.5 ]) ), locationMarker: new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol("./information_frame.png", 16, 16) }); identifyDijit.startup();
In this case, the dijit will perform the identify operation on the map services listed in the constructor with a tolerance of 2 pixels and value of the given display fields will be used to represent each identified feature. Also, the given fillSymbol and locationMarker will be used in place of their defaults.


For Spry 1.5 we decided that we had to make some changes to SpryEffects.js so that not only did they work better, but they were better integrated into the rest of the toolkit. We wanted to offer users the ability to add observers in the same way you do it now for the data sets and regions. Another important change is the ability to run multiple effects like Slide, Squish, Highlight in clusters, just like we did for Move, Size, Opacity or Color.
The new implementation allowed us to redesign the current Effect Classes. We transformed the static animation functions into classes that will inherit the notification mechanism and the existing Cluster interface. As an added benefit, we fixed some known bugs like reverting the order of running subeffects inside a cluster when toggling.
We don't easily invoke the 'pre-release' clause to make big changes to the framework, especially when it will impact existing pages. In the process of this transformation we we worked to keep backward compatibility and provide a way for users to migrate their pages that already use Spry Effects. This document will describe those changes and give examples of the new code.
If you want to upgrade your Spry Effects to 1.5, you will have to make some code changes.
The most important change we did to the Spry Effects was to change from static functions to classes.
This means that you will have to change the way you call the effects. This will look familiar if you have used Spry widgets before.
In the Spry 1.4 or earlier, you would attach an Effect to an element's onclick event. The code it would look like this:
Click to animate

I'm the animated div

If you just drop in SpryEffect.js 1.5 onto your site, your page animation will stop working when you click the element.
In the first example you'll receive a JavaScript alert error with the following text:
"Spry.Effect ERR: The Slide class can't be accessed as a static function anymore. Please read Spry documentation.
If your page looks like the second example, you will not receive any error message but the animation fail to work.
There are two possible ways to migrate your code so they work with Spry 1.5:
This is the method we advise users to follow. You will have a better control over the effects on the page and you will be ready to use all the new functions included in Spry 1.5.
The first step will be to extract the code from the HTML and move it inside a
The next step will be to add the keyword 'new' in front of the JavaScript line (if it is not there already) and assign the resulting object to a global variable:
Click to animate

I'm the animated div

The variable name can be whatever you wish. This name will be used to control the effects, as noted below.
We have created the Effect object and saved it into a variable. The effect will no longer auto-start, as in the previous versions. We will now integrate the effect back into the element to react to the users clicks. For this we will have to call the 'start()' method. The start() method will automatically take care of running the effect and also the toggle when called subsequent times (if the toggle option is set).
Click to animate

I'm the animated div

When we started the new Effect structure migration, we renamed couple of the effects. The goal was to make the API names more clear. Here is a list of the former names of the effects and the new ones. The MoveSlide animator was removed. The code it contain was moved into the Slide cluster.
So, in the code scenario above, if your code used one of the 3 Effects that had a name change, you will have to make one more small change: old name to new name. Change:

I'm the animated div

That's it! The effect should be working normally.
For backward compatibility and for easy migration for users, we included a list of wrapper functions that takes the existing function and forwards it to the new version.
To enable these wrapper functions, we added "Do" to the function name. The name changes are as follows:
Because we renamed some of the effects during the migration process, the wrappers are based on the new effects names.
So, in your code, simply change:
Click to animate

I'm the animated div

to:
Click to animate

I'm the animated div

And your effects will work as before.

Characters in format that are not the percent sign (`%') are printed verbatim. When a percent sign is encountered, the next argument of the arguments following format is retrieved and printed. The type of the argument expected, as well as some simple formatting instructions, are derived from the characters following the percent sign.
The following characters designate types to print. One of these characters concludes the format sequence begun with a percent sign, and also determines the type expected as an argument.
The following characters are modifiers; they can be found between the percent sign and the type designator.
% A percent sign is printed; no argument is consumed. c Character (char, passed as int) d Signed integer printed in decimal o Unsigned integer printed in octal p Pointer (void *) s String (const char *) u Unsigned integer printed in decimal x Unsigned integer printed in hexadecimal X Unsigned integer printed in uppercase hex
# Select an "alternate format". On integer formats this causes the C base prefix to be printed along with the integer. On other formats, this has no effect. l Assume an integer argument is long or unsigned long instead of int or unsigned int. 0-9 Digits are treated as a decimal number, which is considered to be the field width. The argument is printed right-aligned in a field that many characters wide. 0 If the field width has a leading 0, the padding character for alignment is made 0 (zero) instead of space. - If a field width is given, use it for left alignment instead of right alignment.

MINICOM(1) Version 2.1 MINICOM(1) NAME minicom - friendly serial communication program SYNOPSIS minicom [-somMlwz8] [-c on|off] [-S script] [-d entry] [-a on|off] [-t term] [-p pty] [-C capturefile] [configuration] DESCRIPTION minicom is a communication program which somewhat resembles the shareware program TELIX but is free with source code and runs under most Unices. Features include dialing directory with auto-redial, support for UUCP- style lock files on serial devices, a separate script language inter‐ preter, capture to file, multiple users with individual configurations, and more. COMMAND-LINE -s Setup. Root edits the system-wide defaults in /etc/mini‐ com/minirc.dfl with this option. When it is used, minicom does not initialize, but puts you directly into the configuration menu. This is very handy if minicom refuses to start up because your system has changed, or for the first time you run minicom. For most systems, reasonable defaults are already compiled in. -o Do not initialize. Minicom will skip the initialization code. This option is handy if you quit from minicom without resetting, and then want to restart a session. It is potentially dangerous though: no check for lock files etc. is made, so a normal user could interfere with things like UUCP... maybe this will be taken out later. For now it is assumed, that users who are given access to a modem are responsible enough for their actions. -m Override command-key with the Meta or ALT key. This is the default in 1.80 and it can also be configured in one of minicom's menus, but if you use different terminals all the time, of which some don't have a Meta or ALT key, it's handy to set the default command key to Ctrl-A and use this option when you have a keyboard supporting Meta or ALT keys. Minicom assumes that your Meta key sends the ESC pre‐ fix, not the other variant that sets the highest bit of the charac‐ ter. -M Same as -m, but assumes that your Meta key sets the 8th bit of the character high (sends 128 + character code). -z Use terminal status line. This only works on terminals that support it and that have the relevant information in their termcap or ter‐ minfo database entry. -l Literal translation of characters with the high bit set. With this flag on, minicom will try to translate the IBM line characters to ASCII. Many PC-unix clones will display character correctly without translation (Linux in a special mode, Coherent and SCO). -L Ditto but assume screen uses an ISO8859 character set. -w Turns line-wrap on at startup by default. -a Attribute usage. Some terminals, notably Televideo's, have rotten attribute handling (serial instead of parallel). By default, minicom uses '-a on', but if you are using such a terminal you can (must!) supply the option '-a off'. The trailing 'on' or 'off' is needed. -t Terminal type. With this flag, you can override the environment TERM variable. This is handy for use in the MINICOM environment vari‐ able; one can create a special termcap entry for use with minicom on the console, that initializes the screen to raw mode so that in con‐ junction with the -l flag, the IBM line characters are displayed untranslated. -c Color usage. Some terminals (such as the Linux console) support color with the standard ANSI escape sequences. Because there is apparently no termcap support for color, these escape sequences are hard-coded into minicom. Therefore this option is off by default. You can turn it on with '-c on'. This, and the '-m' option, are good candidates to put into the MINICOM environment variable. -S script. Run the named script at startup. So far, passing username and password to a startup script is not supported. If you also use the -d option to start dialing at startup, the -S script will be run BEFORE dialing the entries specified with -d. -d Dial an entry from the dialing directory on startup. You can specify an index number, but also a substring of the name of the entry. If you specify a name that has multiple entries in the directory, they are all tagged for dialing. You can also specify multiple names or index numbers by separating them with commas. The dialing will start from the first entry specified after all other program initializa‐ tion procedures are completed. -p Pseudo terminal to use. This overrides the terminal port defined in the configuration files, but only if it is a pseudo TTY. The file‐ name supplied must be of the form (/dev/)tty[p-z/][0-f], (/dev/)pts[p-z/][0-f] or (/dev/)pty[p-z/][0-f]. For example, /dev/ttyp1, pts/0 or /dev/ptyp2. -C filename. Open capture file at startup. -T Disable the display of the online time in the status bar. -b Specify the baud rate, overriding the value given in the configura‐ tion file. -D Specify the device, overriding the value given in the configuration file. -R Specify the character set of the remote system is using and convert it to the character set of the local side. Example might be 'latin1'. -7 7bit mode for terminals which aren't 8bit capable. 8bit is default if the environment is configured for this via LANG or LC_ALL, 7bit otherwise. -8 8bit characters pass through without any modification. 'Continuous' means no locate/attribute control sequences are inserted without real change of locate/attribute. This mode is to display 8bit multi- byte characters such as Japanese. Not needed in every language with 8bit characters. (For example displaying Finnish text doesn't need this.) When minicom starts, it first searches the MINICOM environment vari‐ able for command-line arguments, which can be over-ridden on the command line. Thus, if you have done MINICOM='-m -c on' export MINICOM or the equivalent, and start minicom, minicom will assume that your terminal has a Meta or <ALT> key and that color is supported. If you then log in from a terminal without color support, and you have set MINICOM in your startup (.profile or equivalent) file, and don't want to re-set your environment variable, you can type 'minicom -c off' and run without color support for that session. configuration The configuration argument is more interesting. Normally, minicom gets its defaults from a file called "minirc.dfl". If you however give an argument to minicom, it will try to get its defaults from a file called "minirc.configuration". So it is possible to create multiple configuration files, for different ports, different users etc. Most sensible is to use device names, such as tty1, tty64, sio2 etc. If a user creates his own configuration file, it will show up in his home directory as ".minirc.dfl" or ".minirc.configuration". USE Minicom is window based. To pop-up a window with the function you want, press Control-A (from now on, we will use C-A to mean Control-A), and then the function key (a-z or A-Z). By pressing C-A first and then 'z', a help screen comes up with a short summary of all commands. This escape key can be altered when minicom is configured (-s option or C-A O), but we'll stick to Control-A for now. For every menu the next keys can be used: UP arrow-up or 'k' DOWN arrow-down or 'j' LEFT arrow-left or 'h' RIGHT arrow-right or 'l' CHOOSE Enter CANCEL ESCape. The screen is divided into two portions: the upper 24 lines are the ter‐ minal-emulator screen. In this window, ANSI or VT100 escape sequences are interpreted. If there is a line left at the bottom, a status line is placed there. If this is not possible the status line will be showed every time you press C-A. On terminals that have a special status line that will be used if the termcap information is complete and the -k flag has been given. Possible commands are listed next, in alphabetical order. C-A Pressing C-A a second time will just send a C-A to the remote sys‐ tem. If you have changed your "escape character" to something other than C-A, this works analogously for that character. A Toggle 'Add Linefeed' on/off. If it is on, a linefeed is added before every carriage return displayed on the screen. B Gives you a scroll back buffer. You can scroll up with u, down with d, a page up with b, a page down with f, and if you have them the arrow and page up/page down keys can also be used. You can search for text in the buffer with s (case-sensitive) or S (case-insensi‐ tive). N will find the next occurrence of the string. c will enter citation mode. A text cursor appears and you specify the start line by hitting Enter key. Then scroll back mode will finish and the con‐ tents with prefix '>' will be sent. C Clears the screen. D Dial a number, or go to the dialing directory. E Toggle local echo on and off (if your version of minicom supports it). F A break signal is sent to the modem. G Run script (Go). Runs a login script. H Hangup. I Toggle the type of escape sequence that the cursor keys send between normal and applications mode. (See also the comment about the status line below). J Jump to a shell. On return, the whole screen will be redrawn. K Clears the screen, runs kermit and redraws the screen upon return. L Turn Capture file on off. If turned on, all output sent to the screen will be captured in the file too. M Sends the modem initialization string. If you are online and the DCD line setting is on, you are asked for confirmation before the modem is initialized. N Toggle between three states, whether each line is prefixed with cur‐ rent date and time, a timestamp is added every second, or no time‐ stamps. O Configure minicom. Puts you in the configuration menu. P Communication Parameters. Allows you to change the bps rate, parity and number of bits. Q Exit minicom without resetting the modem. If macros changed and were not saved, you will have a chance to do so. R Receive files. Choose from various protocols (external). If you have the filename selection window and the prompt for download directory enabled, you'll get a selection window for choosing the directory for downloading. Otherwise the download directory defined in the Filenames and paths menu will be used. S Send files. Choose the protocol like you do with the receive com‐ mand. If you don't have the filename selection window enabled (in the File transfer protocols menu), you'll just have to write the filename(s) in a dialog window. If you have the selection window enabled, a window will pop up showing the filenames in your upload directory. You can tag and untag filenames by pressing spacebar, and move the cursor up and down with the cursor keys or j/k. The selected filenames are shown highlighted. Directory names are shown [within brackets] and you can move up or down in the directory tree by pressing the spacebar twice. Finally, send the files by pressing ENTER or quit by pressing ESC. T Choose Terminal emulation: Ansi(color) or vt100. You can also change the backspace key here, turn the status line on or off, and define delay (in milliseconds) after each newline if you need that. W Toggle line-wrap on/off. X Exit minicom, reset modem. If macros changed and were not saved, you will have a chance to do so. Y Paste a file. Reads a file and sends its contests just as if it would be typed in. Z Pop up the help screen. DIALING DIRECTORY By pressing C-A D the program puts you in the dialing directory. Select a command by pressing the capitalized letter or moving cursor right/left with the arrow keys or the h/l keys and pressing Enter. You can add, delete or edit entries and move them up and down in the directory list. By choosing "dial" the phone numbers of the tagged entries, or if nothing is tagged, the number of the highlighted entry will be dialed. While the modem is dialing, you can press escape to cancel dialing. Any other key will close the dial window, but won't cancel the dialing itself. Your dialing directory will be saved into the file ".dialdir" in your home directory. You can scroll up and down with the arrow keys, but you can also scroll complete pages by pressing the PageUp or PageDown key. If you don't have those, use Control-B (Backward) and Control-F (Forward). You can use the space bar to tag a number of entries and minicom will rotate trough this list if a connection can't be made. A '>' symbol is drawn in the directory before the names of the tagged entries. The "edit" menu speaks for itself, but I will discuss it briefly here. A - Name The name for this entry B - Number and its telephone number. C - Dial string # Which specific dial string you want to use to connect. There are three different dial strings (prefixes and suffixes) that can be configured in the Modem and dialing menu. D - Local echo can be on or off for this system (if your version of minicom supports it). E - Script The script that must be executed after a successful connection is made (see the manual for runscript) F - Username The username that is passed to the runscript program. It is passed in the environment string "$LOGIN". G - Password The password is passed as "$PASS". H - Terminal Emulation Use ANSI or VT100 emulation. I - Backspace key sends What code (Backspace or Delete) the backspace key sends. J - Linewrap Can be on or off. K - Line settings Bps rate, bits, parity and number of stop bits to use for this connection. You can choose current for the speed, so that it will use whatever speed is being used at that moment (useful if you have multiple modems). L - Conversion table You may specify a character conversion table to be loaded when‐ ever this entry answers, before running the login script. If this field is blank, the conversion table stays unchanged. The edit menu also shows the latest date and time when you called this entry and the total number of calls there, but doesn't let you change them. They are updated automatically when you connect. The moVe command lets you move the highlighted entry up or down in the dialing directory with the up/down arrow keys or the k and j keys. Press Enter or ESC to end moving the entry. CONFIGURATION By pressing C-A O you will be thrown into the setup menu. Filenames and paths This menu defines your default directories. A - Download directory where the downloaded files go to. B - Upload directory where the uploaded files are read from. C - Script directory Where you keep your login scripts. D - Script program Which program to use as the script interpreter. Defaults to the program "runscript", but if you want to use something else (eg, /bin/sh or "expect") it is possible. Stdin and stdout are con‐ nected to the modem, stderr to the screen. If the path is relative (ie, does not start with a slash) then it's relative to your home directory, except for the script inter‐ preter. E - Kermit program Where to find the executable for kermit, and it's options. Some simple macro's can be used on the command line: '%l' is expanded to the complete filename of the dial out-device, '%f' is expanded to the serial port file descriptor and '%b' is expanded to the current serial port speed. F - Logging options Options to configure the logfile writing. A - File name Here you can enter the name of the logfile. The file will be written in your home directory, and the default value is "minicom.log". If you blank the name, all logging is turned off. B - Log connects and hangups This option defines whether or not the logfile is written when the remote end answers the call or hangs up. Or when you give the hangup command yourself or leave minicom without hangup while online. C - Log file transfers Do you want log entries of receiving and sending files. The 'log' command in the scripts is not affected by logging options B and C. It is always executed, if you just have the name of the log file defined. File Transfer Protocols Protocols defined here will show up when C-A s/r is pressed. "Name" in the beginning of the line is the name that will show up in the menu. "Program" is the path to the protocol. "Name" after that defines if the program needs an argument, e.g. a file to be transmitted. U/D defines if this entry should show up in the upload or the download menu. Fullscr defines if the program should run full screen, or that minicom will only show it's stderr in a window. IO-Red defines if minicom should attach the program's standard in and output to the modem port or not. "Multi" tells the filename selection window whether or not the protocol can send multiple files with one command. It has no effect on download protocols, and it is also ignored with upload protocols if you don't use the filename selection window. The old sz and rz are not full screen, and have IO-Red set. However, there are curses based versions of at least rz that do not want their stdin and stdout redirected, and run full screen. All file transfer protocols are run with the UID of the user, and not with UID=root. '%l', '%f' and '%b' can be used on the command line as with kermit. Within this menu you can also define if you want to use the filename selection window when prompted for files to upload, and if you like to be prompted for the download directory every time the automatic download is started. If you leave the download directory prompt disabled, the download directory defined in the file and directory menu is used. Serial port setup A - Serial device /dev/tty1 or /dev/ttyS1 for most people. /dev/cua<n> is still possible under GNU/Linux, but no longer recommended as these devices are obsolete and many systems with kernel 2.2.x or newer don't have them. Use /dev/ttyS<n> instead. You may also have /dev/modem as a symlink to the real device. If you have modems connected to two or more serial ports, you may specify all of them here in a list separated by space, comma or semicolon. When Minicom starts, it checks the list until it finds an available modem and uses that one. (However, you can't specify different init strings to them... at least not yet.) To use a UNIX socket for communication the device name must be prefixed with "unix#" following by the full path and the filename of the socket. Minicom will then try to connect to this socket as a client. As long as it cannot connect to the socket it stays 'offline'. As soon as the connection establishes, minicom goes 'online'. If the server closes the socket, minicom switches to 'offline' again. B - Lock file location On most systems This should be /usr/spool/uucp. GNU/Linux systems use /var/lock. If this directory does not exist, minicom will not attempt to use lockfiles. C - Callin program If you have a uugetty or something on your serial port, it could be that you want a program to be run to switch the modem cq. port into dialin/dialout mode. This is the program to get into dialin mode. D - Callout program And this to get into dialout mode. E - Bps/Par/Bits Default parameters at startup. If one of the entries is left blank, it will not be used. So if you don't care about locking, and don't have a getty running on your modem‐ line, entries B - D should be left blank. Modem and Dialing Here, the parameters for your modem are defined. I will not explain this further because the defaults are for generic Hayes modems, and should work always. This file is not a Hayes tutorial :-) The only things worth noticing are that control characters can be sent by pre‐ fixing them with a '^', in which '^^' means '^' itself, and the '\' character must also be doubled as '\\', because backslash is used spe‐ cially in the macro definitions. Some options however, don't have much to do with the modem but more with the behaviour of minicom itself: M - Dial time The number of seconds before minicom times out if no connection is established. N - Delay before redial Minicom will redial if no connection was made, but it first waits some time. O - Number of tries Maximum number of times that minicom attempts to dial. P - Drop DTR time If you set this to 0, minicom hangs up by sending a Hayes-type hangup sequence. If you specify a non-zero value, the hangup will be done by dropping the DTR line. The value tells in seconds how long DTR will be kept down. Q - Auto bps detect If this is on, minicom tries to match the dialed party's speed. With most modern modems this is NOT desirable, since the modem buffers the data and converts the speed. R - Modem has DCD line If your modem, and your O/S both support the DCD line (that goes 'high' when a connection is made) minicom will use it. When you have this option on, minicom will also NOT start dialing while you are already online. S - Status line shows DTE speed / line speed You can toggle the status line to show either the DTE speed (the speed which minicom uses to communicate with your modem) or the line speed (the speed that your modem uses on the line to communi‐ cate with the other modem). Notice that the line speed may change during the connection, but you will still only see the initial speed that the modems started the connection with. This is because the modem doesn't tell the program if the speed is changed. Also, to see the line speed, you need to have the modem set to show it in the connect string. Otherwise you will only see 0 as the line speed. T - Multi-line untag You can toggle the feature to untag entries from the dialing directory when a connection is established to a multi-line BBS. All the tagged entries that have the same name are untagged. Note that a special exception is made for this menu: every user can change all parameters here, but some of them will not be saved. Screen and keyboard A - Command key is the 'Hot Key' that brings you into command mode. If this is set to 'ALT' or 'meta key', you can directly call commands by alt-key instead of HotKey-key. B - Backspace key sends There still are some systems that want a VT100 to send DEL instead of BS. With this option you can enable that stupidity. (Eh, it's even on by default...) C - Status line is Enabled or disabled. Some slow terminals (for example, X-termi‐ nals) cause the status line to jump "up and down" when scrolling, so you can turn it off if desired. It will still be shown in com‐ mand-mode. D - Alarm sound If turned on, minicom will sound an alarm (on the console only) after a successful connection and when up/downloading is complete. E - Foreground Color (menu) indicates the foreground color to use for all the configuration windows in minicom. F - Background Color (menu) indicates the background color to use for all the configuration windows in minicom. Note that minicom will not allow you to set foreground and background colors to the same value. G - Foreground Color (term) indicates the foreground color to use in the terminal window. H - Background Color (term) indicates the background color to use in the terminal window. Note that minicom will not allow you to set foreground and background colors to the same value. I - Foreground Color (stat) indicates the foreground color to use in for the status bar. J - Background Color (stat) indicates the color to use in for the status bar. Note that mini‐ com will allow you to set the status bar's foreground and back‐ ground colors to the same value. This will effectively make the status bar invisible but if these are your intentions, please see the option K - History buffer size The number of lines to keep in the history buffer (for backscrolling). L - Macros file is the full path to the file that holds macros. Macros allow you to define a string to be sent when you press a certain key. In minicom, you may define F1 through F10 to send up to 256 charac‐ ters [this is set at compile time]. The filename you specify is verified as soon as you hit ENTER. If you do not have permissions to create the specified file, an error message will so indicate and you will be forced to re-edit the filename. If you are permit‐ ted to create the file, minicom checks to see if it already exists. If so, it assumes it's a macro file and reads it in. If it isn't, well, it's your problem :-) If the file does not exist, the filename is accepted. M - Edit Macros opens up a new window which allows you to edit the F1 through F10 macros. N - Macros enabled - Yes or No. If macros are disabled, the F1-F10 keys will just send the VT100/VT220 function key escape sequences. O - Character conversion The active conversion table filename is shown here. If you can see no name, no conversion is active. Pressing O, you will see the conversion table edit menu. Edit Macros Here, the macros for F1 through F10 are defined. The bottom of the window shows a legend of character combinations that have special meaning. They allow you to enter special control char‐ acters with plain text by prefixing them with a '^', in which '^^' means '^' itself. You can send a 1 second delay with the '^~' code. This is useful when you are trying to login after ftp'ing or telnet'ing somewhere. You can also include your current username and password from the phone directory in the macros with '\u' and '\p', respectively. If you need the back‐ slash character in the macro, write it doubled as '\\'. To edit a macro, press the number (or letter for F10) and you will be moved to the end of the macro. When editing the line, you may use the left & right arrows, Home & End keys, Delete & BackSpace, and ESC and RETURN. ESC cancels any changes made while ENTER accepts the changes. Character conversion Here you can edit the character conversion table. If you are not an American, you know that in many languages there are characters that are not included in the ASCII character set, and in the old times they may have replaced some less important characters in ASCII and now they are often represented with character codes above 127. AND there are various different ways to represent them. This is where you may edit conversion tables for systems that use a character set different from the one on your computer. A - Load table You probably guessed it. This command loads a table from the disk. You are asked a file name for the table. Predefined tables .mciso, .mcpc8 and .mcsf7 should be included with the program. Table .mciso does no conversion, .mcpc8 is to be used for connections with systems that use the 8-bit pc char‐ acter set, and .mcsf7 is for compatibility with the systems that uses the good old 7-bit coding to replace the characters {|}[]\ with the diacritical characters used in Finnish and Swedish. B - Save table This one saves the active table on the filename you specify. C - edit char This is where you can make your own modifications to the existing table. First you are asked the character value (in decimal) whose conversion you want to change. Next you'll say which character you want to see on your screen when that character comes from the outside world. And then you'll be asked what you want to be sent out when you enter that char‐ acter from your keyboard. D - next screen E - prev screen Yeah, you probably noticed that this screen shows you what kind of conversions are active. The screen just is (usually) too small to show the whole table at once in an easy-to- understand format. This is how you can scroll the table left and right. F - convert capture Toggles whether or not the character conversion table is used when writing the capture file. Save setup as dfl Save the parameters as the default for the next time the program is started. Instead of dfl, any other parameter name may appear, depending on which one was used when the program was started. Save setup as.. Save the parameters under a special name. Whenever Minicom is started with this name as an argument, it will use these parameters. This option is of course privileged to root. Exit Escape from this menu without saving. This can also be done with ESC. Exit from minicom Only root will see this menu entry, if he/she started minicom with the '-s' option. This way, it is possible to change the configuration with‐ out actually running minicom. STATUS LINE The status line has several indicators, that speak for themselves. The mysterious APP or NOR indicator probably needs explanation. The VT100 cursor keys can be in two modes: applications mode and cursor mode. This is controlled by an escape sequence. If you find that the cursor keys do not work in, say, vi when you're logged in using minicom then you can see with this indicator whether the cursor keys are in applications or cursor mode. You can toggle the two with the C-A I key. If the cursor keys then work, it's probably an error in the remote system's termcap initializa‐ tion strings (is). LOCALES Minicom has support for local languages. This means you can change most of the English messages and other strings to another language by setting the environment variable LANG. MISC If minicom is hung, kill it with SIGTERM . (This means kill -15, or since sigterm is default, just plain "kill <minicompid>". This will cause a graceful exit of minicom, doing resets and everything. You may kill minicom from a script with the command "! killall -9 minicom" without hanging up the line. Without the -9 parameter, minicom first hangs up before exiting. Since a lot of escape sequences begin with ESC (Arrow up is ESC [ A), Minicom does not know if the escape character it gets is you pressing the escape key, or part of a sequence. An old version of Minicom, V1.2, solved this in a rather crude way: to get the escape key, you had to press it twice. As of release 1.3 this has bettered a little: now a 1-second timeout is builtin, like in vi. For systems that have the select() system call the timeout is 0.5 seconds. And... surprise: a special Linux-dependent hack :-) was added. Now, minicom can separate the escape key and escape- sequences. To see how dirty this was done, look into wkeys.c. But it works like a charm! DEBIAN SPECIFIC In Debian GNU/Linux systems, minicom is not setuid root. Users that need to use it have to get added to the dialout group in order to use serial port devices. FILES Minicom keeps it's configuration files in the directory /etc/minicom. You'll find the demo files for runscript(1), and the examples of charac‐ ter conversion tables in /usr/share/doc/minicom. The conversion tables are named something like mc.* in the tables subdirectory, but you proba‐ bly want to copy the ones you need in your home directory as something beginning with a dot. minirc.* $HOME/.minirc.* $HOME/.dialdir $HOME/minicom.log /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/minicom.mo SEE ALSO runscript(1) BUGS Please report any bugs to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Thank you!

Reliability:
- Setup
To help the setup we are using a jig.
- Run
We use the black lines and that allow us to be more precise.
- Points
Including the “advantage” points for containing all parts in the small home, we can score a maximimum of 90 points on this run.
- Mechanical
We have an attachment designed that pushes the house block, a lever that starts the swing, a lever that allows us to flip a blue house stilt and a lever to flip the elevator.
- Mission Order
This mission would be best to be start at the begining as it is more complex to set up than the crane, but the crane may fall off so we decided to run the swing first.

Reliability:
- Setup
The setup for the crane mission is important, but it does not have to be precise. There is a balck line that we can align the blue peg with. There is no jig for this run.
- Run
We use the black line to align the robot so that the attachment is working well.
- Points
If the blue blocks stack properly, we will earn 50 points, plus the 5 point “advantage” bonus for fitting in the small home.
- Mechanical
We have an attachment designed that pushes the block and activates the blue levers at the righ time. The drive must not be fast into the crane. The crane block must not swing wne we start.
- Mission Order
To avoid the swinging of the line (by other teams moving the table), this is our first mission.
run.black_circle¶
- Setup
We use the grid in the starting section to align and aim the robot.
- Run
We just send the robot forward 48cm using the gryo, then back up 48cm back to base.
- Points
If the building is entirely in the circle we score 40, plus the 5 point mission bonus for all attachments in the small home.
- Mechanical
We use a simple and light building holder attachment that shoves the building to the circle.
- Mission Order
This run is done after the crane.
run.red_circle¶
- Setup
We use our standard jig to align the robot at the correct angle
- Run
We send the robot forward 59cm using the gryo, then turn left 40 degrees, then forward another 3cm. Then reverse 10cm, turn left 45 degrees, and back 70cm to base.
- Points
If the building is entirely in the circle we score 50, plus the 5 point “advantage” bonus for all attachments in the small home.
- Mechanical
We use a simple and light building holder attachment that shoves the building to the circle.
- Mission Order
This run is done last, after the black run.
run.tan_circle¶
- Setup
We use our standard jig to align the robot at the correct angle
- Run
We send the robot forward 85cm using the gryo, then turn left 50 degrees, then forward 25cm. Then reverse 10cm, turn right 50 degrees, and back 120cm to base.
- Points
If the building is entirely in the circle we score 45, plus the 5 point “advantage” bonus for all attachments in the small home.
- Mechanical
We use a simple and light building holder attachment that shoves the building to the circle.
- Mission Order
This is an optional run if we have time.
run.ramp¶
- Setup
We align on the 15 degree line in the starter space.
- Run
We send the robot forward 72cm using the gryo, then search for a white line, then align to a black line, turn 20 degrees right, go forward 12cm. Then we turn almost 90 degrees (85) right, back up 15cm and turn to the black line then turn to the white line to make sure we are aligned to the line following line, follow that for 25cm, and then go straight very fast for 80 cm and stop at the top of the ramp.
- Points
If the robot successfully stops at the top of the ramp with both flags up, we earn 50 points, plus the 5 point “advantage” bonus points.
- Mechanical
We use an attachment with extra wheels to help get over the bottom of the ramp.
- Mission Order
This run works about half of the time, so we would only use it if all the other runs have been completed.

Recipe 2.15. Adapting a File-like Object to a True File Object
Credit: Michael Kent
Problem
You need to pass a file-like object (e.g.,
the results of a call such as urllib.urlopen) to a
function or method that insists on receiving a true file object
(e.g., a function such as marshal.load).
Solution
To cooperate with such type-checking, we need to write all data from
the file-like object into a temporary file on disk. Then, we can use
the (true) file object for that temporary disk file.
Here's a function that implements this idea:
import types, tempfile
CHUNK_SIZE = 16 * 1024
def adapt_file(fileObj):
if isinstance(fileObj, file): return fileObj
tmpFileObj = tempfile.TemporaryFile
while True:
data = fileObj.read(CHUNK_SIZE)
if not data: break
tmpFileObj.write(data)
fileObj.close( )
tmpFileObj.seek(0)
return tmpFileObj
Discussion
This
recipe demonstrates an unusual Pythonic application of the Adapter
Design Pattern (i.e., what to do when you have an X and you need a Y
instead). While design patterns are most normally thought of in an
object-oriented way, and therefore implemented by writing classes,
nothing is intrinsically necessary about that. In this case, for
example, we don't really need to introduce any new
class, since the adapt_file function is obviously
sufficient. Therefore, we respect Occam's Razor and
do not introduce entities without necessity.
One way or another, you should think in terms of adaptation, in
preference to type testing, even when you need to rely on some
lower-level utility that insists on precise types. Instead of raising
an exception when you get passed an object that's
perfectly adequate save for the technicality of type membership,
think of the possibility of adapting what you
get passed to what you need. In this way, your code will be more
flexible and more suitable for reuse.

BasicServiceEndpoint
Generic endpoint object that contains parsed service information, as
well as a reference to the service element from which it was generated.
If there is more than one xrd:Type or xrd:URI in the xrd:Service, this
object represents just one of those pairs.
This object can be used as a filter, because it implements
fromBasicServiceEndpoint.
The simplest kind of filter you can write implements
fromBasicServiceEndpoint, which takes one of these objects.
| Method Summary |

__str__
|
matchTypes(self,
type_uris)
Query this endpoint to see if it has any of the given type URIs.
This is useful for implementing other endpoint classes that e.g. need
to check for the presence of multiple versions of a single
protocol.
-
- Parameters:
type_uris -
The URIs that you wish to check
(type=iterable of str)
- Returns:
-
all types that are in both in type_uris and self.type_uris

WHAT DREAMS MAY COME * Directed by Vincent Ward. Written by Ron Bass, from the novel by Richard Matheson.Photography, Eduardo Serra. Editing, David Brenner and Maysie Hoy. Production design, Eugenio Zanetti. Music, Michael Kamen.Visual effect producer/supervisor, Ellen M. Somers. Painted world visual effects, Mass Illusions. Visual effects, POP Film & POP Animation. Visual effects supervisor, Stuart Robertson.Special visual effects and digital animation, Digital Domain. Digital visual effects, CIS Hollywood. Produced by Stephen Simon and Barnet Bain. Cast: Robin Williams (Chris Nielsen), Cuba Gooding Jr. (Albert), Annabella Sciorra (Annie Nielsen), Max von Sydow (the Tracker), Jessica Brooks Grant (Marie Nielsen), Josh Paddock (Ian Nielsen), et al. A Polygram release.106 minutes. PG-13.
The title comes from Hamlet 's "To be, or not to be": "To die- to sleep --To sleep! perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub--For in that sleep of death what dreams may come--When we have shuffled off this mortal coil--Must give us pause..."
But do not look for Shakesperean parallels in this sentimental, kitschy, would-be tear-jerker fantasy whose sole reason for being is its display of computerized special effects.
The film's preliminaries, made to coincide with the opening credits, have Chris (Williams) and Annie (Sciorra) meet cute on a lake bordering Switzerland, re-meet cute on land, do kiss-kiss (but no bang-bang), marry cute.  Cut to four years as we see Chris practicing pediatrics while being oh-so-warm and cute with a young patient and looking at the little girl's X-rays AND at slides of Annie's paintings. The sugar content keeps rising. Then Chris dies in a freak crash inside a tunnel.
He reappears in the hereafter which is a color riot of living (sic) elements (such as water he can Biblically walk on), of profuse vegetation, flowers, etc. --all seemingly inspired by Annie's artwork. The sights, made with advanced digital computer techniques, are impressive as gimmicks but don't get you anywhere. They look like combinations of paintings by French Impressionists gone berserk with acrylics and loading their canvases to the max, some unmistakable bits of Van Gogh swirling brushwork, and often heavily romantic 19th century German oils by Caspar David Friedrich and fanciful, massive scenes of the American West by Albert Bierstadt. The orgy of colors and special effects becomes oppressive and may give you visual overload with its lushness.
With hops, skips and jumps, more views appear, from flying, Peter Pan-ish people to graphics that mix the Book of Hours of the Duke of Berry with Byzantine icons.
Chris is, of course, in Paradise--though not in Heaven, since he learns that Annie, in her despair at her husband's demise, has committed suicide. An angel (though not identified as such) is Chris counselor-guide. His name is Albert (as in Bierstadt). He spouts cliches of sagacity, like "Thought is real. Physical [sic] is the illusion."
 Are you listening Dr. Kevorkian? "They go somewhere else" dixit Albert, who explains that Annie "has violated the moral order." The somewhere else is in the nether regions which Chris reaches via the Tracker -- the Virgil to Chris's Dante. The Tracker is Max von Sydow, wasted here, especially if your remember him from Ingmar Bergman movies.
The tour of the Underworld takes us to sundry dark locations. In one, flames are combined with Sisyphus-like beings who go up and down excavations akin to those of the much more powerful Hell on Earth images of Brazilian gold-mines workers in the documentary Powaqqatsi (1988). Yet another of Albert's profundities goes: "Hell is not fire and pain.  In this murkiness of sights and concepts, Chris also has to step by an immensity of human heads projecting from the ground -- a not-so-oblique derivation of Cambodia's Killing Fields.
Throughout, Robin Williams maintains forced expressions of smiles, beatitude or sorrow-- all forced, unconvincingly stiff and theatrical, all making you miss Williams the kinetic, wild clown. Annabella Sciorra delivers her lines flatly.
"What Dreams..." is the first American feature by director Vincent Ward, a talented New Zealander who had previously made Vigil, Navigator: A Mediaeval Odyssey, and Map of the Human Heart. He also wrote the story for Alien 3. Ward is very oriented toward imaginative visuals and ambitiously original stories, but I find his work frustrating, with a reach exceeding his grasp. Here, his movie is not so much frustrating as it is plain dull, what with too many poses and visual overkill,. The determination to be super-poetic makes it repetitive and pedestrian.
The film is, in fact, a very expensive production in two LSD genres. LSD One is the look of the picture, like visions and hallucinations under the influence. LSD Two is the very general subject Love is Stronger than Death, which has been around for decades in sundry movies about reincarnation, ghosts, etc.
I might suggest renting far more satisfactory titles. A sampling: Death Takes a Holiday, A Guy Named Joe (remade by Spielberg as Always); Stairway to Heaven (aka A Matter of Life and Death); Heaven Can Wait (by Ernst Lubitsch); Here Comes Mr. Jordan (remade as Heaven Can Wait though not a remake of the Lubitsch picture); and above all the delicious The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
