Make a wish
Friends of mine have launched a crazy website called wyget.com
It’s in the early phases, however there is a crazy video which is kind of fun.

The alarm clock base is a bit crazy, I’ll give you that 🙂
Got no wish? Take inspiration from Pearl Jam’s wishlist

We’ve got tips
Writing the Thesis is a big deal, however right tools makes the experience a little bit easier..
I’m using Gedit on steroids, which is quite easy to achieve.
Just get the LaTeX plugin, and the to get all your files up and running in no time, try to gedit manager plugin.
Then use Classic thesis.
One more tip about screenshoots. Long story short, your video resolution will be always a bit short for the rendering in printing, so if you can’t use svg (made with Inkscape) or pdf or anything that is not a vectorial format you have to rescale (up) the png picture, which is tricky.. ’cause you’re trying to make more info from less.
However if you take the picture at top resolution you can use gimp scale tool to make a decent work.
To do that open the image (png, jpeg or what you’ve got) with gimp and then increase the resolution to 300×300 dpi and then change the canvas to a decent dimensions and scale it up.
This should make you rolling. Hopefully 🙂
Put things in scale
Amazing tool to confront and grasp in one go all the different dimensions around us, from extremely small to extremely big, with nice graphics and drawing.
Very good stuff.

Curfew ciao
Technically there is a curfew issued at the moment in egypt.
This, however is the idea of the Egyptian people.
Curfew not respected Egypt
They took down the internet, they’ve called the army, they made the police to shout, however they didn’t stop them and their are becoming more and more.

Neuronvisio 0.5.2 released
There is a new release of Neuronvisio out there, version 0.5.2. Given the fact that our userbase is growing, I have tried to repackage it properly to make it easy to install, and to build the doc on the site.
It should be installable using pip (at least it works on my tests)..
Of course the code is always on github repo.
