raspi 3.5 inch touch screen

I got a 3.5 inch touch screen for my raspi. Loading the driver is pretty straightforward if you use raspbian:

git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD35-show

Awesome!!!

Alien Covenant

This week I went to the movies to see Alien Covenant, it is a sequel of Prometheus. The thing I liked the most about it is that it has the philosophical insights that somehow began in Alien Resurrection.

Faemino y Cansado

Today I went to see Faemino y Cansado's show in Lleida, it was really really fun, as usual.

hi-fi tuner

After so so many years I decided to get a radio tuner to complete my hi-fi equipment. I had always meant to buy one but I had never actually done it until today. I am really really happy. The quality of sound cannot be compared.

smplayer bar

Smplayer's default bar only has two buttons: Play/Pause and Stop. I like simplicity and the two minimal button approach is just fine because I do most "other" operations using the keyboard. However, there are occasions in which I am in need of using the mouse, that is why I had to personalize it to include my favourite buttons: Previous Next Loop and Zoom + Zoom -

 Smplayer's zoom is probably one of the best damn things ever!!!

pharc v.6.0 released

Well, this is certainly unusual in 2017...

I used to release pharc once a year, so:
v.1.0 --> 2011
v.2.0 --> 2012
v.3.0 --> 2013
v.4.0 --> 2014
v.5.0 --> 2015

But like the wiki says:

Is pharc still actively developed?
pharc has now all the features and options I envisioned through all these years of development. From now on I only intend to make bug fixes and minor changes.

Well, this year one of the visitors said that the sorting of the archives was upside down, so I decided to change it to order archives in a more logical way.

Added to the changelog:

pharc (6.0-1)
v.6.0
Sort Archives in reverse mode.

You can read more in detail in the phlog post at: gopher://sdf-eu.org:70/1/users/chals/phlog
And get the software (all available versions) at: gopher://sdf-eu.org:70/1/users/chals/downloads/software

Have fun!
