Hi it's been a while since i have posted here (about 1 year) and i apologize for that,a lot happened in the last year that prevented me from keeping this blog updated.
Any way this post is about a project that i have been working on in my free time.
It's a signal flow graph solver made entirely in javascript. it might come handy in solving simple problems or for demonstration of signal flow graphs.
Here is a quick -not so fancy- video about the application

I have released the source code on github under the mit license,so check it if you are interested.
hope you might it useful.

The most thing that i miss once i log into windows is the compiz zoom using the winkey and the mouse wheel feature on linux , i tried to search for alternative but with no luck each time till i read an article recently on lifehacker which shows that the new built in magnifier in windows 7 has a mode to magnify the whole screen rather than certain part (aka docked mode) , that was great news except the shortcut keys are Winkey +/- and can't be changed !!.

After some searching i found a program called autohotkey that could serve me in solving this issue , any way if you aren't into technical details you can grab the compiled version and start using it immediately.
Otherwise , here is the complete source code of the script

; A small script that enables you to zoom in/out using the winkey
; and mouse wheel instead of winkey +/- on windows7 magnifier program

#NoEnv
SendMode Input
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%

;zoom in
#WheelUp::send #{sc4E}
;zoom out
#WheelDown::send #{sc4A}

You may need to alter the default zoom value instead of 100%  to a more usable amount , iam fine with 25%

Hope you find it useful.

since i have installed ubuntu 10.04 ,  i have noticed that the icons in the system menu is missing ,  like this


actually i didn't bother .. but today i had some time to kill so i searched about that issue and found that it is a known bug since karmic and the solution is not that hard

here are the steps :

  1. Press Alt+F2 ... type gconf-editor and press run
  2. navigate to : /apps/desktop/gnome/interface
  3. and make sure that the menus_have_icons is marked
here is the gconf-editor screen


and you will have your icons back :)

i also noticed that this option brings icon to many menus in Ubuntu not just the system menu
here is the bug page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/442973
hope that was useful
