Last week-end, I did 2 crafting activities with the kids. First, my daughter had a doll clothes hanger that she broke. That's the cost of a very untidy room. So we decided to work on building a new one. She sat on my laps and did the measuremnt of the broken one, I used inkscape and explained …

Designing gears with inkscape

On July 15, 2015October 10, 2018 By Florent RevelutIn HackingLeave a comment

For a hush hush project, I need to use gears and I plan on designing and laser printing them. Theory I found this old article which explains a lot on how to make gears with (older) inkscape. It relies on the following technical reference. With new version 0.91, things have been a bit simpler. Unit can …

R.I.P Billy, for thou shallt be reborn and never forgotten. I had an old Billy shelf which was starting to collapse and had the wrong color (moved from one room to another...). It was time to swap for a brand new one (yeah, trip to ikea!!!). The old one got repurposed in my cellar to …

A while ago, I ordered from alibaba (or dealextreme) bazilions of elastic bands for the kids. However, I forgot to buy a loom.

I've been using Persistence of Vision for almost 20 years. By using, I mean thaat I had times when I was pretty intensive users and most of the time where I didn't touch it for spans of multiple years. I recently decided to install it on my ubuntu, and there are some caveats that I'll …

“infinite” bash history

On April 15, 2015 By Florent RevelutIn HackingLeave a comment

I tend to use `screen`a lot and never reboot my computers. As my memory becomes flaky, I often need to search in my history and usually don't remember which tab I used for a specific command. I've solved this problem with my bashrc the following way: # don't put duplicate lines or lines starting with space …
