You’ll see the configįile named after the version you’re running. It usually lives in your Windows user profile, typically within AppData\Local\DOSBox. I’ve used it in the past for various DOS related programs, but let’s see how it handles the CPU issue.įirst up, get it installed and then edit your main configuration file. And if im trying to run it on totally write-protected drive - it will be a problem. Everything can be controlled by editing this file or if you like through more. It contains various system settings and initialization values that define your emulated environment. Something people generally want to do with virtual machines.Ĭue DOSBox, a free and very well made DOS emulator. nf is a configuration file that DOSBox can use globally and/or locally per game (and settings that are left out are taken from the global file). Unfortunately VMWare has no CPU cycle limiter built in, it’s just not ![]() Hemisphere, in short – there’s no frame limiter on these old 1990’s games, and they just run too damn quick. In this case, run the file to install the game. Here, enter dir again to view the contents. It all works great until you actually play the game and see it running as if it’s just had all the caffeine in the western With DOSBox running, mount the drive, view the contents, then use cd to navigate into the simcity directory, like so: mount c c:\dosgames. You’d think VMWare would have this covered right? Not so. Old classic by installing VMWare Player, loading a Windows 98 virtual machine and installing Theme Park. If Mythbusters advice is to be taken seriously, I’ve always liked the saying “if it’s worth doing, it’s worth over-doing”, and what better way to achieve this then to try out an

![]() The most important business object in Firetask is naturally the task. Understanding the basic concepts behind Firetask and its GTD-inspired workflow helps you to get the most out of our task management app. Hm, not what I would call ‘a trusted sytem’.Firetask Manual Basic Concepts & Workflow I had to ‘force quit’ but the app will not restart. Scrolling has also become slower as the list of tasks grew and just now the desktop app became non-responsive. I have now used firetask for a full three weeks and the synching errors have become more frequent. poor integration with email or evernote, no file attachments.several ways to review and reprioritise your tasks.You can download a 14-day trial version if you are interested in exploring this app further. The firetask desktop app costs $39.99, the iPad version $10.49 and the iPhone version $6.49. ![]() It beats omnifocus because it is so simple and intuitive to use and because its attractive user interface does not detract from a solid project management approach. I would also like to see a more comprehensive search function (at present, command + F lets you search within the active task list).įiretask has much of the look and feel of ‘things’ but, on the whole, is a stronger app in my view because of its superior date selection and more informative, less cluttered views. More significantly, once a due date has been set, it can be changed, but apparently not removed, not even by dragging the task into the ‘someday’ view. I have experienced a couple of minor bugs with wireless synching, with a task not being synched, or with a task deleted from the scratchboard ending up in the ‘today’ view after synching. The latter is still at beta stage and I have not tried it. Synching occurs via wifi and/or cloud synching. There is no capacity to attach a file to a task and no integration with email or evernote. The major weakness of firetask at this point is its lack of integration. The firetask 'organise' view this is where the in-tray trumps the scratchboard There is also an alternative view that shows you actions by due date. Like the desktop version, it gives you a clear overview of tasks that are due, well – today, as well as the next action for each of your active projects. The ‘today’ view below is the only screenshot from the iPad version in this review. Well, so far we are still in the honeymoon period. So, after a brief stint with the trial version, I decided to throw caution to the wind and to elope with firetask. I want to spend time in the app, and that is a feeling I haven’t had with omnifocus for a long time. It has been like a suitor in a jane austen novel: maybe not the most sensible and respectable choice, but irresistible because of its colour and freshness. While firetask is not perfect, it has almost done the unthinkable: prised me away from omnifocus. I have reviewed the mac desktop and the ipad apps (both version 2.2) there is no windows version. It has a well-designed beautiful interface and enough functionality to give well-established apps like things and omnifocus a run for their money. Firetask is a promising GTD-based productivity app with the simple ‘feel’ of a traditional to-do list. ![]() GarageBand for iOS users, meanwhile, will likely be thrilled to finally be able to get their fingers on a proper mixer and full automation features, which become particularly enjoyable once you get the Apple Pencil involved. It’s surely a case of when not if we’ll see these in Logic Pro for Mac as well, but whether they’ll feel as intuitive once you take the multitouch experience out of the equation remains to be seen. Both are superb, accessible sound design tools, the former enabling you to reorder, slice and manipulate incoming audio - quite literally by grabbing and twisting it with your hands - and the latter letting you apply its granular, additive and spectral synthesis engines to any sample you like. ![]() Obviously, a lot of the plugins are familiar, but the additions of Beat Breaker and Sample Alchemy alone mean that everyone who can should check out the one-month Logic Pro for iPad trial. Logic veterans might wonder where all the menus have gone, but for a lot of people - particularly those who’ve been scared off the Mac version because they fear it will be ‘too complicated’ for them - it will feel like a breath of fresh air. It all comes down to the interface and workflow, which have been beautifully optimised for the touchscreen experience. When designing Logic Pro for iPad, Apple has clearly decided that, rather than give (some) people what they think they want - a straight port of the desktop version - it’s going to give them what it thinks they actually need. Apple Logic Pro for iPad: Performance and verdict Inevitably, there’s AUv3 support, and Ableton Link is on the guest list, too. Just double-tap one to open the full interface.Īs you’d expect, there are plenty more Logic/GarageBand staples here, too: guitar amps and stompboxes the automatic, configurable virtual Drummer Drum Machine Designer Live Loops the Step Sequencer and multi-take recording. The Ableton Live-esque Plug-in Tiles, meanwhile, give you fast access to all the effect and instrument controls in a track’s chain at the bottom of the display. Track Stacks and Track Groups are here, too, and there’s an all-new tag-based browser, which puts all of your content in one place where it can be searched and auditioned. ![]() Other things we haven’t seen before in an Apple-made iPad DAW include a proper mixer and comprehensive automation features. As with all the other instruments, these can be played with a choice of touch interfaces. ![]() There’s Sample Alchemy, which offers a touchy-feely way to manipulate samples, and the intuitive, hands-on fun factory that is Beat Breaker, a time- and pitch-morphing tool. There are more than 100 in total, many of which have come straight out of Logic for Mac (hello Retro Synth, ES2, Space Designer, etc) but some of which are completely new. We’ve seen and heard plenty of this content on the iPad before in GarageBand (the genre and artist packs, for example), but where Logic for iPad really starts to carve out its own niche is in its selection of plugins. The basic install is a relatively svelte 660MB, but download all the available sounds, loops, patches, etc, and you’re looking at more like 15GB. What of storage requirements, though? Entry-level iPads over the past few years have typically come with either 32GB or 64GB of space, so is that enough? That really depends on how much of that space you have left and how much of the Logic Pro content you want to install. ![]() ![]() Libpkg/repo/binary/Makefile.am:24: The usual way to define 'LIBTOOL' is to add 'LT_INIT' Libpkg/repo/binary/Makefile.am:24: error: Libtool library used but 'LIBTOOL' is undefined Libpkg/Makefile.am:116: its definition is in aclocal's search path.

Then why were you giving me permission errors?! So now I think the problem is that I just have to chown the folder, but still run initdb as my user rather than root. I finally type in sudo initdb /usr/local/var/postgres, to be met with: initdb: cannot be run as root. So then the alias command shows my new alias. profile, and seemed to be loaded just fine, so why wasn't the alias also working? Moving the alias into. That being said, my PATH additions were done in.

Step 3: I try running initdb /usr/local/var/postgres. (Sidenote: Anybody know why this is necessary? Am I doing something wrong with the install? Everything else I've installed in Ubuntu "just works" without changing the $PATH.) For whatever reason, the install doesn't appear to add it to the path? So I had to manually add the line export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin to the bottom of my ~/.profile.

For tips on creating fun paper cuts like this one, see the FAQ section on my website. I use Adobe Illustrator for all of my designs, and a Cricut Maker to bring my creations to life. It’s a perfect craft for the gamer or 80s-lover in your life! There you have it! This project falls on the simpler side, as far as my 3D paper crafts go, but I think it is still a lot of fun. Note: I just cut a small piece of a lollipop stick, painted it black, and attached a little gold pearl on top to make a joystick. Follow along and learn how to draw Pac-Man We show you how to shade him too, and make him super 3D.SUBSCRIBE for regular drawing and art lessons:http://bit. ![]() Add any other embellishments that you desire! Finally, attach your “Pac Man” sign, gluing the tabs to the inside of the sidewalls. Next, attach your back/bottom piece, and then your other side panel.ĥ. ![]() This is intentional and will be used later to attach your “Pac Man” sign. Note: there will be a bit of extra space left in front of the screen section. Fold your front/top piece along the score lines and use the tabs to attach it to the inside of one of the side pieces. Attach your decorative pieces to their larger shapes. I used gel pens for the small details on the “screen,” and a white paint marker for the larger dots.Ĥ. Layer together each of your decorative pieces, and draw in your details to make it extra cute. I used a lime green color to mark the score lines, so hopefully that helps! If you’re having trouble with the score lines, check out this video.Ģ. Note: If you are using the SVG files that includes the score lines, don’t forget to set them as such in Cricut Design Space and attach them to their shapes before sending them through your cutting machine. Use your cutting machine or X-ACTO knife, along with my template, to cut out all of the Pac Man game machine pieces. I had so much fun putting it together, and it gave me the idea for this retro arcade game design!ġ. There is just something about the Pac-Man aesthetic that is just so quirky and fun! Just a couple of weeks ago, I made a poster for my son’s 2nd-grade teacher, themed around Pac-Man. Like this design? Consider leaving a tip to show your support. It is time to play craft a Pac-Man game machine! Alternately, the game’s hero could be shown with the ghosts that chase him: turquoise Inky (the bashful character), pink Pinky (the speedy character), red Blinky (the shadow character)and orange Clyde (the pokey character).įiller ideas for a sleeve or large piece include cherries and the pac-dots that Pac-Man munches during his anxiety-filled journey through that iconic maze.We are rewinding it back to the 80s with a brand new, retro-inspired paper craft! So, stuff your pocket full of quarters, and let’s head down to the arcade. Pac-Man, perhaps with hearts and other symbols of love worked into the scene. A freehand application could be an interesting way to go with this one, as well. With the right artist, nearly anything that can be dreamed up can be sketched into a stencil. Of course, they can be done in any style the client wants, in order to create the overall theme desired. Especially in terms of neon colors and exaggerated, cartoon-y line work, Pac-Man tattoos done in new-school may have the most visually compelling end result. While a new-school approach to a vintage arcade scene may seem to be a contradiction of terms, it makes a lot of sense artistically. From that trademark bright yellow circle of happy, to the boundless style and theme possibilities, Pac-Man tattoos instantly seem to conjure up feelings of fun and fantasy. For ink addicts who also consider themselves serious gamers, nothing brings back that beloved old-school arcade nostalgia like Pac-Man tattoos. |
