Textwrangler per Mac OSX

TextWrangler is a good code editor for OSX, free and with syntax-highliter that automatically recognizes what type of language you are using, and automatically highlights and colors the relevant parts of the code for a much more comfortable editing.

Coming from Windows and has been used in programs such as Devcpp, that in addition to the syntax highlighting were specific to C and allowed, with a couple of clicks on the icons, fill or fill&execute the code you just wrote, could feel the lack of this kind of functions in TextWrangler, that it is only a text editor, a more general.

Avidemux

Updated on January 2013: Updated with the build v2.6

avidemux is the cross-platform software (LInux/OSX/Windows) that there is more comfortable to make quick video editing, cut pieces of scenes and, perhaps most important of all (at least for me), perform the re-encoding of video allowing you to transfer video to portable devices lowering the bitrate, x264 or recompressing in those old video compressed in a poor but with a huge waste of space.

Available in both the GUI gtk, that qt (change the appearance of icons, the provision of some buttons… we say that the preference of one or the other is dictated by habit, for example, I feel cleaner version that uses the GTK).

For those who are always looking for new, you can download the SVN version (development version, that allows you to test the latest news, at a price you can run into some unexpected program, I have never found) regularly compiled for Windows.

QtOctave – a front-end to GNU Octave for Linux and OSX

in OSX Ubuntu | | 3 Comments » | Last modified:

Surely many of those that have to do with programs for scientific use, have used Matlab, or at least will have heard.
E'sicuramente the most complete suite for calculating that there is, but it also has a price not available to everyone!

GNU Octave comes in handy, having a syntax very similar to Matlab, and having the great advantage of being completely free, updated, and multiplatform. The effort of the developers in part is aimed at increasing the compatibility with the increasingly more expensive… cugino Matlab.

By going to open the first time you can become disoriented, because Octave does not have any GUI (GUI), but works in text mode (In short, you type and look at the output directly into the terminal).

Regarding the plotting of graphs, can be used without problems in GNU Plot (in this regard read this article, if you are using OSX), but for everything else (icons with the main functions at your fingertips, easy to find in Help, since it is not a software where you can remember all the commands in memory, etc.. etc..) there is quite a gap with Matlab.

In this sense we can meet with the excellent QtOctave that, as the author says:

Some ex-commodorista64 around?
Understood by chance on a blog (warioweb) This article shows that on a musical keyboard playable online…:

——————————

If you do not have at home a keyboard or piano, but I'd like to play them the same, andate su https://piano.felipefialho.com/ and give vent to your imagination; on this site you can play a keyboard online high quality and compose their own melodies in easy and fun way!

We can freely play the notes with either the mouse or the keyboard, or compose music by playing the keyboard chords and notes, choosing the duration, breaks online and save our compositions in the database. I find this tool really well done. Let me know with a comment your opinion!

——————————

…and, I said, apart from the fact that the idea is very good (sounds, changed in quality depending on whether you have a dial-up or ADSL, seem to be the classic GENERAL MIDI) for those who have a musical keyboard, in addition to being able to use the mouse even keys on the PC keyboard to play, I immediately came to my mind that something like I had already seen…

but certainly! 300 years ago (much) al Commodore 64.

Keep up to date copy of the blog on your PC with Windows (but also Linux and OSX)

many want, Look for paranoia, either because they want to be protected from any hosting problem or accidentally overwriting files, a local copy on your hard drive for all your site.

If it is easy to control the static pages of your site, the theme and all the original files of your blog / site, the same can not be said for the files that are loaded when, during the writing of a post, you want to insert an image, a video, or any other media. We also think of when a plugin is automatically updated.
Sure you could every time you load a media file, open the ftp, look for the path of the uploaded file, copy it to the local folder on your hard drive, but it is not exactly the most comfortable…

To do this, you can use wget and a batch file (o uno script in bash sotto Unix)

The binary file for windows in wget can be downloaded at this address

Then you creaun batch file with this code:
