Default Sizes for Twitter Bootstrap’s Media Queries ♥ Scotch
I love Twitter’s Bootstrap. I find that when developing with it, either Bootstrap 2 (2.3.2) or Bootstrap 3, that I always need to apply custom styles at the different sizes. Especially when going beyond Bootstrap’s standard functionality. After all, it’s just a front-end framework.
Below you’ll find nicely formatted Media Queries for starting with either of the Bootstrap versions. You can use this as a starting point for your projects. It’s basically what I use when creating a new website or webapp. I’ve also provided links to Github for quick access.
Dukto R6
Dukto is one of my long-lived software project, it’s now at the 6th release, with many improvements over the previous versions. One of the main changes of this release is the new user interface inspired to the Metro style UI developed by Microsoft for the new releases of Windows Phone, Windows, Xbox and all the other Microsoft products. Since I like the simplicity, the essentiality of this kind of UI, I’ve decided to make a new Dukto interface for all the supported platforms.
If you don’t know Dukto, I can tell you that it’s an easy file transfer tool designed for LAN use. I use it in my everyday work to transfer files from one PC (or other device) to another, without worrying about users, permissions, operating systems, protocols, clients, servers and so on… Just start Dukto on the two PCs and transfer files and folders by dragging onto it’s window. That’s all.
Understanding the Bootstrap 3 Grid System ♥ Scotch
With the 3rd version of the great Bootstrap out for about 4 and a half months now, people have had their time to play around with it, learn the changes, find new features, and build amazing things.
Html5 Vibration API
The Vibration API1 is an API specifically made for mobile devices as they are thankfully the only devices that have a vibrate function. The API allows developers to vibrate a device (in a pattern) for a given duration.
LibraryBox
LibraryBox is an open source, portable digital file distribution tool based on inexpensive hardware that enables delivery of educational, healthcare, and other vital information to individuals off the grid.
Simple Captchas with PHP and GD
By now, we’ve all encountered captcha images in online forms. Captchas are a necessary evil, and this article will teach you how they’re made.
Please note that while there are better, automatic third party solutions for captchas out there such as ReCaptcha, this tutorial aims merely to explain and demonstrate how such technology actually works. We won’t be explaining what captchas actually are, as it’s assumed to be common knowledge and already covered in greater detail elsewhere.
Le Raspberry Pi comme émetteur FM expérimental
Dans son livre « Raspberry Pi Cookbok » (le livre de cuisine du Raspberry Pi) Simon MONK propose une recette transformant notre Raspberry Pi en émetteur FM.
Le RasPi émettra un signal dans la bande FM (87,5 à 108 MHz). Ce signal pourra être reçu par un récepteur radio réglé sur la fréquence de notre émission.
