OK, I just spent more time reading the Sports Page in the last 90 seconds than I have in the preceding five years, I see a Sun logo and a MSN logo and a bunch of stuff I don't care about at all. Maybe it's just you, or maybe it's your browser, or maybe they changed the page before I got to see the funny blooper. What am I supposed to be looking for? -- Keith

Re: [Wlug] reaction-diffusion program

by Gregory Avedissian

Andy, This program makes some pretty neat graphics, but it's very limited. I can choose the number of cells in x and y axes, and it makes spots or stripes. I have a qualitative understanding of it, but I don't know the math. A friend of mine said she'd look around for a book that explains it.

Now you went and burst my bubble. :-) If you want to see another cool program where the math will send you for a loop but it makes neat looking graphical figures, try surf.

Re: [Wlug] reaction-diffusion program

Got it! I have to run two x servers at the same time (didn't know I could do that), the first one in TrueColor and the second in PseudoColor by starting the second one with startx -- :1 -bpp 8 and the program runs ok. This is cool. Now all I need to do is figure out what reaction-diffusion means. I saw the math for it, and um, it looks like Greek to me. Anybody know anything about patterns of animal coat spots/stripes? Can anyone here figure out the mathematics of acupuncture point locations? (I know, I'm in way over my head here.)

Re: [Wlug] shared calendar (web-based)?

Ping pong is very important in the workplace. Nothing short of a high end time scheduling software package should do. However, given the budget requirements for the former, I would recommend and have been using Webcalendar on my site and like it so far: http://webcalendar.sourceforge.net/ There is a live demo there as well, but sometimes the language is not english. In that case, find the link for the login, demo/demo is usr/pw, and then find the link for prefs where you can change it to english. BR
