With the release of HIT Lab NZ's OSGART (OpenSceneGraph + ARToolKit) framework imminent, I'm pleased to announce a release of the GPL-licensed ARToolKit v2.   Download ARToolKit 2.72 at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=116280  ARToolKit 2.72 contains a number of improvements over previous releases, with several of these focussed on the video capture libraries. Wayne Piekarski and Hartmut Seichter have substantially updated the Linux video input and added Pointgrey and Gstreamer video capture.  Those of you trying to integrate ARToolKit's coordinate system with existing OpenGL drawing will be pleased to see versions of the OpenGL projection and modelview matrix creation functions which now return right-hand coordinate systems.  Integration with OpenSceneGraph is the focus of our current and future work in the area of advanced graphics capabilities atop ARToolKit. However, this release also updates libARvrml so that it binds correctly to the recently updated OpenVRML 0.16.1.  There are a number of smaller improvements, bug fixes and reference documentation updates included. Please download the release and have a look at the readme and changelog.  We have also added more explicit direction on ARToolKit licensing to the Readme. Please be aware that the GPL-licensed ARToolKit cannot be used in a closed-source product. Closed-source licenses to ARToolKit Professional are available from ARToolworks in return for financial support of ARToolKit development efforts.  If you find bugs in this GPL release, please post in ARToolKit's bug tracker on SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=116280&atid=674305. This is the preferred forum for bug reports. Patch submissions are also welcomed.  And yes, bugs fixes and other improvements are available between official ARToolKit releases by checking out the source from Sourceforge ARToolKit CVS repository using anonymous CVS. A simple tutorial on how to get the ARToolKit source using a CVS GUI tool is at http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=25731&group_id=116280.  Thanks to all the contributors to this release.  Philip Lamb HIT Lab NZ

The other day I was thinking about all the edge-cases within Linux and how there are hundreds of little commands and tricks.  I these know now but only after using UNIX for more than 15 years now (has it been that long!).  I wish I would have known all these tricks when I was just getting started.  This is similar to Danny O'Briens Life Hacks  but since so many of us spend our life tied to our shell these are essentially "Shell Hacks".  NetCat is one example.  Very powerful tool with a simple syntax.  Just run 'nc' and you can connect to a host/port and interact with it manually.  You could even write an HTTP client with bash if you really wanted to.  The zsh  shell looks like it might becom ...

Four major Linux players are to unite their distributions around a common core based on the Linux Standard Base (LSB) 2.0, in an effort to push Linux standardization to a new level. MandrakeSoft of France, Conectiva of Brazil, TurboLinux of Japan, and Progeny Linux Systems of the U.S. say the venture, called the Linux Core Consortium (LCC), has broad industry support from companies such as Red Hat, Novell, and Hewlett-Packard.

To each his own, but I love eye candy.  When I heard that you could get the 3D Xgl and Compiz environment running on Ubuntu/Kubuntu dapper (my default distribution), I immediately searched the web for instructions.  Most of the instructions take a reasonably timid approach, which gets your 3D environment running in a test console (the second display, or :1).  I'm more adventurous, however, and I immediately went for a total replacement.  What follows are instructions for doing the same.
