Illustrating how airport runways are aligned to prevailing wind directions. This is Edinburgh Airport, showing the last year's worth of wind directions as a wind rose. As in most of the UK, the wind tends to come from the SW or NE.

 

All the rendering was done in QGIS Composer, no other graphics packages or libraries were used.

 

Inspired by this map by Andy Tice.

 

The wind rose is created using a Python script. The maths behind this is just simple trigonometry, and would be easy enough to do in Excel / LibreOffice or similar.

 

This script takes historic weather data in CSV format from Weather Underground, and creates a modified CSV file. That is then loaded into QGIS as a delimited text file POINT layer, which is then styled up as arrow symbols. The star marks the centre of the rose, the arrows show the bearing, and the distance out (and size) represent wind speed.

 

The heatmap was done in QGIS by loading the same CSV and setting the x coordinate to the row number (representing successive dates) and the y value to the wind bearing. The weight was set to the wind speed value.

 

Weather data downloaded in CSV from Weather Underground. Map data copyrght OpenStreetmap and its contributors.

 

Weather Underground bearings are relative to true north, rather than magnetic north (otherwise the angles would be out 1.5 degrees). I've assumed here that grid north here equals true north (not technically correct, but close enough)

 

QGIS Features used :-

 

- multiple maps in composer

- frames

- custom grids with differing x/y intervals and labelling inside frame

- semi-transapent text and map panels (can change opacity of background with color picker in 2.6)

- heatmap

One day I started filling a spreadsheet with all the languages I've used over the years (and with percentages of focus on each one) with the intention of creating a chart.

 

It got bigger than I expected. I guess never counted how many platforms I had actually used.

 

The original chart (created in LibreOffice) didn't look exactly good, so I decided to write custom code to plot the chart the exact way I wanted it to look like. This is the result. It was created with some messy JS code that rendered the data to a canvas object. I tweaked the colors a little bit and added the titles in Photoshop.

 

I think it's an interesting visualization of the platforms I've used. There are many different solutions to the problem, I think, but so far I'm pretty happy with this result.

 

Please view in the original size.

 

The source code can be found here. It was never meant to be released nor too flexible so it's a little bit too linear and hard-coded, but what the hell.

Haven't been around much, my apologies to all of you.

 

Had a few problems with the computer a while back, (December last year!), some desperate attempts were made on my part to resurrect the beast.......mostly to no avail.

 

Finally got the machine up and running although now minus the old graphics card plus the 2Gb RAM I used to have, (all failed probably due to the original power supply fault!). So now according to 'windoze' I have a rubbish PC and my copy of vista doesn't run very well on it. (That's an understatement if ever I heard one!)

 

So what to do with my four year old machine, (flip, that's ancient isn't it?! can you imagine, four years old! I don't keep up with the times do I? - Sarcastic chuckle), now with 1Gb memory and cr*p graphics card - easy, buy a new one.......if that was a financial option that is. I've never been one to throw money at my problems, (and really don't understand people that do), so I looked around for an alternative which turned out to be Linux.

Linux? That's rubbish isn't it? Just to quote something I've read or heard whilst going through this process. Well it wasn't as hard or as 'rubbish' as I was led to believe it was going to be.

 

Enter Ubuntu and what a simple process it was to install that free bit of kit. Free? Must be rubbish.....except that it isn't. The usual arguments I've heard are that it doesn't operate like 'windoze' or look nice like a Mac OS - Really? Would that be because it's a different operating system? "Different", "New", can't be doing that now can we, stuck in our ways we are old chap. It didn't take as long as I expected to get used to a new OS and now that I've had it for a couple of weeks I'm afraid there's no turning back.

Why? Well because it runs great despite 'windoze' thinking I now have a cr*p PC. Fast boot-up, fast internet connectivity, multiple desktops, (which you'd never believe you'd need until you have it!), no anti-virus software required, (Really?! Oh yeah, you'd better believe it!), and just about every piece of productivity software I've needed is absolutely free. "Free", such a nice word.

 

But how can all this come about and especially for 'free'?

That'd be the reasoning behind the title to this image, it's thanks to all of you. Yeah, I know, some of you have never stumbled onto Linux or avoided it or never taken part in any of it so it can't be thanks to all of you. How can it?

If you bought a PC with 'windoze' or a mac you damn well paid for the OS too, you only have to take a look at the licensing conditions of your OS to see the restrictions imposed upon you. Not only that, but once your machine gets bogged down with all the 'updates' required you're along that rocky road of stumping up more cash for a newer version of that OS when it arrives. That's why alternatives can look so promising, especially for free and freely re-distributable. (Trying explaining that one to Mr. Gates when you've installed 'windoze' on multiple machines without double checking the software license - "Honest M'Lud, I didn't know I was 'stealing' anyfing" - Ignorance is no defence of the law I'm afraid.)

All this came about because we got stuck in that rut of buying these OS's that promised so much, offered little and got so used to being shafted we plod on merrily. Except that some people aren't happy with that and rewrote the 'rules'.

 

So the main thanks has to go to those people that had enough of bending over and taking it up the proverbial. All those 'geeks', 'coders', 'software engineers', whatever you want to call them banding together across the world and producing wonderful software like Ubuntu amongst others. I couldn't have done it, the great thing about open source software is that no one single person had to do it either, it's a collaboration, a joining of minds, skills, ideas, you name it all coming together to produce wonderful stuff. Humanity as a whole, not a dream but actually here.

 

If you disagree with that, then that's fair enough, after all most of us live in a 'free' country, don't we(?)

 

However, try explaining that to the school in Africa or some other far flung country who had several computers donated to them plus the means to run them but unfortunately no license or money to buy an expensive OS. Or the cash strapped education centre that can't afford the license conditions, or the updates, or the new releases, or find out they're breaking the law because someone donated a computer with an OS pre-installed, (look up your re-distributable terms again).

 

Yet here is an OS that is not only free but freely distributable as well, install it on one machine, install it on many, give away copies free to anyone you know who wants it. Great isn't it?

But what good would it do installing these free operating systems and especially for education centres. Heck, the rest of the world are using 'windoze' and mac products so it'd do them no good would it? Yeah, next thing you'll be telling me that you can't take photographs unless you have a Canon, or maybe a Nikon helps you take photographs like no other camera can? You can't produce a financial report unless you're using a bona fide copy of 'microsloth windoze office'? Perhaps we ought to give them pencils and paper.......or just perhaps the productivity tool that a computer can be with no other restrictions.

 

Oh, and of course there's me, had enough, not paying any more even if I could and loving the move to free :-)

  

The image contains some examples of the open source software out there and believe me there's a whole world more than that available. Some links if you want to find out more:

 

UBUNTU - The operating system. You can burn this to a 'live' CD or even a memory stick and run this first without upsetting your original configuration or OS. Try before you b.......erm you don't have to buy it ;-)

 

LINUX (.com) and LINUX (uk) - For more wonderful Linux goodness.

 

AUDACITY - A free audio editor that most of us have probably already stumbled upon.

 

GIMP - Another one we may have heard of, pretty good package too and improving all the time. Ideal for all your photo and image editing purposes. Of course there's not as many 'tutorials' as there are for 'photoshop', so you can carry on using your expensive, (or stolen), copy if you really must ;-)

 

LIBRE OFFICE - Free office tools, write, report, database, the usual stuff and for free.

 

FIREFOX - Probably already heard of this one too, the free web browser.

 

7 ZIP - Free data compression tool. Yep, free again.

 

If you like any of that, go and let someone else know about it too!

  

For some reason flickr won't allow me to reproduce 'free' and so I'm stuck with an attribution licence on this image. Don't bother attributing me, none of the logos are mine so it isn't really my set of images.

 

There's a whole lot of not-blogging going on in this space

But, having said that: I am up to page 245 of my next book.

It's a lot of work. What was thought to be simply a copy&paste operation turned out to no be that simple.

It seems HTML and LibreOffice are not on speaking terms.

The text transfer works but the photo? Not so much.

So firstly the HTML has be dumped into Notepad to remove all the coding then passed back into the word processor

Then one has to go back and d/l the photos and insert them as a separate operation.

The good news is: If one spends enough time and energy the result is quite agreeable — and publishable.

Not exactly my main field of interest – though I admit it was more interesting than I would have thought – and something that could prove very useful, in case I go back in time...

A set of equations was included in the WordStar file illustrated in Figures 32, 33 and 34. When rendered in all other tested environments including Microsoft Word 5.5 for MS-DOS (Figure 33) and LibreOffice Writer 3.3.0 (Figure 34) the meaning or purpose of the numbers above the equation in the examples was not apparent. When rendered in the control WordStar version 7 environment it becomes clear that the numbers above the equation in the examples are intended to be interpreted as exponents (or “powers” e.g “x²”). This meaning was presumably captured in the control environment by the creator utilizing the font spacing and text spacing functionality to position the exponents above the relevant positions of the equation on the line below.

This slide shows the (t,y) graph of the Angry Bird's motion from the lab we did. Clearly the position graph is NOT linear, but constantly changing slope, indicating a changing velocity. As the previous slide showed, the graph indicates that the bird had a positive (upwards) velocity until about 0.3 seconds, but was slowing down. From 0.3 seconds until it hit at 0.9 seconds, it had a negative (downward velocity) but was getting faster and faster. At 0.3 the slope was zero, indicating that it was stopped, as was clearly visible in the previous slide. Each lab group analyzed a similar video and copied the data into a file that can be read by a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc or Google Docs. Note the odd looking values on the spreadsheet on the left. This is how scientific notation is entered on a computer. Cell A4 displays a time of 6.67E-002. We'd say that as "6.67 times 10 to the negative 2 seconds" and in regular numbers it would be 0.0667 seconds.

 

We use this data as a model for all constant acceleration one dimensional forces. We will find that the equation for the graph is y = y˳ + v˳t + ½at²

Lubuntu, for “light Ubuntu”, is an as-yet unofficial Ubuntu derivative that replaces some of the more processor-hungry apps in the standard Ubuntu installation for smaller, more efficient alternatives, such as lxde (instead of Gnome) or gnumeric and abiword (instead of LibreOffice Calc and Writer).

 

The advantage of using this versus other “lightweight” Linux distros is that you have access to the full Ubuntu repositories and updates. You can easily uninstall gnumeric and abiword and install LibreOffice if you want, for example.

 

Lubuntu's installed size (1.9 GB, or 50% of the EeePC's 4.0 GB SSD drive) is similar to the size of a standard Ubuntu installation (2.6 GB, or 65% of the SSD), but the main advantage is that the user interface and apps run faster and the battery lasts for longer... specially with my new 10,400 mAh replacement battery!

 

To install it on the EeePC you first have to fix an upstream bug where the Ubuntu GUI installer decides that it won't install unless your drive has “twice” (some dodo put a magical factor of two in there) the actual required capacity. The Lubuntu Live CD in addition miscalculates the actual required capacity so by default it won't install unless you have a 5.6 GB drive (versus the 4.4 GB required by the buggy Ubuntu installer).

 

The fix is easy. See bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/775124. There it says to change a “*2” to a “*1.4”, but I say remove the factor altogether.

DROID identified the file in this example as a Microsoft Word for Windows version 2 file. When rendered in the nearest version that was available, Microsoft Word version 6.0c the word “certificate” in the document was displayed using the “NewCenturySchlbk” font. This was changed when the file was rendered in LibreOffice Writer 3.3.0 when “certificate” was rendered using the Times New Roman font. This may be a significant issue in certain cases. Font changes have been shown to be very problematic in cases where the font can no longer be found and substitutes are inadequate . For more information on the issues that fonts can cause see: “Born Broken: Fonts and Information Loss in Legacy Digital Documents”. Brown, Geoffrey; Woods, Kam. 2009. escholarship.org/uc/item/53z897zb (accessed 13/12/11)

    

In addition to the font change the New Zealand Forest Research Institute logo was removed in the LibreOffice Writer 3.3.0 rendering of the document.

Figures 28-31 illustrate the rendering of a file containing a report on tree growth. The report contains a number of diagrams including the one illustrated in these examples that identifies properties of a tree at different stages in its lifecycle.

    

The “control” Corel WordPerfect version 7 rendering of the file and the diagram is virtually identical to the Corel WordPerfect X5 rendering of the file and diagram. The LibreOffice Writer 3.3.0 and Microsoft Word 2007 renderings of the file and diagram are significantly altered. In the LibreOffice Writer 3.3.0 case almost all of the information in the diagram is lost and in the Microsoft Word 2007 case some is lost and some is altered in a way that may affect the meaning of the diagram.

Chart update 2013 Feb 28 : see flic.kr/p/dYuoLU

 

Chart update 2013 Jan 06: see flic.kr/p/dJ82Fn

Math update 2013 Jan 03: VXX vs SPY charts in scatter-plot form

zoomed in: flic.kr/p/dHpavN

zoomed out: flic.kr/p/dHiJzF

 

MATH UPDATE 2012 Nov 26: correlations are moving very far out of whack.

On a window of 4 months + 10 trading days I calculated a correlation slope of -12x meaning VXX traded down much quicker than normal as SPY rose on average. HOWEVER, I also found something on the 2 month + 10 trading day time window: a POSITIVE Correlation of 4.6 - VXX & SPY dropping together. To see everything clearly a scatterplot will be needed log-scale for each axis. Sorry I have no time yet for this, but do try it yourself.

Scatter-plot features are in OpenOffice & LibreOffice, data can be obtained from freestockcharts.com using the disk-platter icon once you specify several chart ticker symbols for 1 output chart & save as CSV for import. (end 2012 nov update text)

 

edit 2012 10 05 : 4:1 reverse stock split in effect, reading around 34 (not same on all sites) on vxx therefore old figure 23.68/share would now read as 94.72 maximum

prior:

Very soon SPY (DIA, dow, s&p500, qqq, nasdaq) will crash
