Wiki
Yesterday I created a new blog, LatteMatica to unveil and tackle difficulties which users of Latex and Mathematica face every day!
So the next idea was to combine all the knowledge in one place, so all paths lead to wikipedia. To create own wiki, you need
- LAMP server. PHP5.3 on Ubuntu ready for Symfony2 installation tutorial may help.
- MediaWiki
- Semantic MediaWiki

Markdown image handling in Django
It’s an interesting question: how to deal with images in django admin which claims to be hardly extensible.
The default package comes with markdown integration, which could be easily installed by obtaining python-markdown from your favorite package manager.
Next, we should attach images to the record. We’ll do that by embedding special model of entry-specific image. To do the markdown, we need to have images’ paths or reference them in some way. The spec says we can invoke reference by ![][ref_id] and then it’ll be substituted.
def get_markdown(self):

PyOpenCl on x64 system
UPD: I found unofficial binary builds here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyopencl, use x86 builds.
Do not forget to install pytools.
I’ve been into some difficulties since i began installing that software, even with help of http://wiki.tiker.net/PyOpenCL/Installation/Windows.
First, easy_install won’t work on x64 systems if installed by executable installer. Instead, use ez_setup.py which will determine the correct version of the software.
Next, install numpy.
finally, i’ve got a problem with module compilation. Let’s split it into two problems:
- wrong path to vcvarsall.bat (try to add …

Kokowääh
Impressive movie if you think about sense of life, productivity, decision making… turns to be that not taking risk is more dangerous than not to take a risk.
Somewhat expected happy-end is just a bit boring, but is setting positive reaction.

Firearms laws
In Mexico, crime is rife. And the firearm law is one of the most severe.
Ukraine has lower crime level, somewhat similar gun licensing.
In the US you are free to buy a weapon and many states would issue a concealed carry permit. That leads to much lower crime rates than in aforementioned countries.
In Switzerland, you may own a full-auto rifle, shoot in all cantons freely. The crime level does nothing to correlate with firearm law.
In the opposite, use of firearms gives assault more protection.
