Go Open – Eric S. Raymond Part 1 Full Interview

Friday, August 20th, 2010


But who is Eric S. Raymond — generally identified as ESR? “I wonder that myself, sometimes. I’m a long-time hacker, active in the Internet culture since the 1970s, who got unexpectedly famous in the late 1990s….. it took me twenty years to become an overnight sensation. I either founded or re-invented (depending on who you ask, and how some history is interpreted; I prefer ‘re-invented’, myself) the Open Source Movement. ….Today I’m one of the half-dozen or so most influential people in that movement; in fact, a lot of people would put me among the top three, with Linus Torvalds and Richard M. Stallman. The community has a tradition of tri-letterizing its heroes — I suppose that began with Stallman, already a hero when I was a fledgling programmer in the early 1980s, who was generally known as RMS even then….I think I started to be routinely triletterized into ‘ESR’ around 1998 on Slashdot; that was a few months after the fame thing started to kick in seriously. It’s at best a mixed blessing. Fame is tactically useful, but the pressures and expectations that go with it can be nasty stuff. If you want to learn more about me, browsing through my essays would be a good place to start.” Interviewed by Marc Chase

Shumsky plays Rode Caprices 1 – 3

Sunday, July 11th, 2010


This is a rare world-premere recording of the Rode Caprices revealing Mr Oscar Shumsky as one of the best soloists the world has ever known: deadly accurate intonation, effortless technique, a warm lush tone, expressive vibrato, and ultimately the ability to create musical drama. I can say he was easily my favorite of all Auer pupils and when you hear a recording like this it makes you wonder how many more incredible performances he has made that should have been captured but never were! Without a doubt he was one of the true greats of the 20th Century! Ihave uploaded rare out of print and unreleased recordings that are difficult to find, I hope you like them. Since they are so difficult to find no one should mind me uploading them, if you have issues with me uploading them please send me a message and I will remove them.

Uzebox – Atmel AVR based Game Console (Only two chips used!)

Thursday, July 1st, 2010


The Uzebox is a homebrew game console based on an Atmel AVR microcontroller. The design goal was to be simple to assemble for any hobbyist and have great sound and graphics with absolute minimum hardware: an AtMega644 microcontroller, an AD725 RGB-to-NTSC converter…and a bunch of resistors! You get 256 simultaneous colors, 240×224 (40×28 tiles) graphics, a 4 channels sound engine with MIDI driver, NES joysticks ports and a MIDI IN input to compose your own songs straight on the console. The kernel is fully interrupt driven to generates video sync, mix music, read joypads, etc. so games can be written in plain C, no insane cycle counting required :D ! Considering this is an 8-bit general purpose microcontroller with only 4K of RAM and 64k of ROM (and no external RAM or frame buffer), it was quite a challenge to cram all that stuff in there. The site has the schematic and all code is open source. The hardware well…is open hardware! Have a look at the forums for updates (fully assembled Uzebox soon available in well know web shops!). For now, I’ve completed a Tetris DS clone for the console. Enjoy! belogic.com
