Cool article on the authors 10 most neded circuits.
I have decided to compile a list of the top ten most needed circuits that are a must know for anyone interested in DIY projects. These are the basics that can all be interchanged and used in conjunction with each other to make many of the projects that we all love so much.
Brandon and I have started work on a lyrics site.
It’s been my experience so far that most of them have an insane amount of crap and very few lyrics. The goal here is to provide a useful service and make a few bucks with ad revenue. I will not stoop to using pop-ups or misleading ads. We’ll keep it simple with some adsense and an amazon suggestions banner.
Have a look at: http://lyrics.lr2.com/ for a sneak peek. I have a bit of work to do with the template, and I want a better front page, but you can get an idea of how lean the end pages will be.
If you’re using Ubuntu and gnome, then odds are that esd is starting and taking control of the soundcard.
If you have any apps talking to esd (like your mp3 player) then Firefox won’t be able to talk like it usually does to /dev/dsp.
To solve this, we just need to tell Firefox to use esd and it can share the audio nicely with other apps.
If you’re using BASH this should launch firefox with esd support.
#export FIREFOX_DSP=esd
#firefox
You can also put this near the top of /usr/bin/firefox like this:
#!/bin/sh
FIREFOX_DSP=esd
#
# ***** BEGIN LICENSE BLOCK *****
# Version: MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1
[...]
And another, and perhaps the best, way to do this is to add the export command to “/home/<username>/.bashrc”.
# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)
# for examplesexport FIREFOX_DSP=esd
