Ah, that sounds right - do you know achieve 3D rendering on one of the displays? As mentioned, my xorg.conf is set as a big virtual desktop shared between two screens..: exact details will depend very much on the graphics card and driver, but you should aim for the projector display to be the first, or primary, display, possibly use xorg.conf to turn on direct rendering for that one and off for the other. With NVIDIA most of this can be done with the driver GUI. Then either start pd from that display or give gemwin the appropriate message - I forget what it is but it was on this list a few weeks ago. simon ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

[PD] workshop in fribourg / switzerland
hi all, in the beginning of november, we are planning 3 days of workshop around hacking and opensource in fribourg, switzerland. the reason i am writing to the list, is that we'd love to have a pd enthusiast who would come and present pd, followed by a little workshop where everyone could set up pd and do their first steps with it. would this be the right place to look for s.o. like that? we are an association called hackburg in fribourg/switzerland that aims to set up a hackspace here in fribourg [1]. while still looking for the right location, we try to arganize semi-annual workshops around hacking and open source software... if i caught your interest, i would be more than pleased to give you further information about all of it ;) yours ... pierre == [1] http://hackburg.ch -- Liip AG // Rte de la Fonderie 7 // CH-1700 Fribourg Fon 026 4222511 // Key id 0x5BF5F8FA // www.liip.ch PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] [ot] PhD, mostly artistic
Hey all, since i'm planning to start a PhD in the near future i'm trying to figure out which institution would fit best to my (currently rather blurry) intentions. I'd like to research real-time interaction with electronic media (emphasis on music), mostly from an artistic point of view. Keywords would be digital representation of musical structure elements/intentions/ideas, interaction with other performers, improvisation/anticipation, interfaces of the physical to the virtual world, etc. Media and music/art theory would be important, media technology should _not_ be the main focus. It would be great if the supervisor is an active, renowned artist or specialized theoretician. Europe would be preferred, overseas possible nevertheless. any pointers? many thanks, Thomas ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Track down recent articles on the subjects you want and make a list of researchers/artists who wrote them. Keep an open mind for extensions of their research, and you just might find your preference for topics in the process, too. It's sometimes a good idea to contact the person you want to be your advisor ahead of time, too--that way you can find out about availability, when admission happens, and talk about research.

[PD] basic stats on a table?
Hey all, What is the best (least cpu usage) way to get some basic stats on the content of a table? I'm using a table to store arbitrary data, and would like to get things like min/max so I can adjust the table bounds for the data it contains. Any recommendations? I currently have 100 data points, but hoping for 1000+. untiling through the whole thing and doing the calc manually seems like it would be resource inefficient.

The GPL is really geared towards compiled languages, and a lot of the wording is irrelevant in the context of a Pd patch IMO. I think the GPL is perfectly relevant here.
