DJPlayer, a personal music performance

DJ­Play­er Demon­stra­tion Video

This is a pro­ject I’ve been work­ing on for the past quar­ter for my EE47 class. I didn’t want to make just a per­son­al mu­sic play­er, but in­stead a per­son­al mu­sic per­for­mance - and this is the more-or-less first pro­to­type of that. It could be de­scribed as a “vir­tu­al turntable”: you load songs in­to it, and then you can play them back as if they were on a record. You can slow down or speed up the record, or grab it and scratch it.

VMware & Ubuntu 8.04

I have been hav­ing, to put it light­ly, some prob­lems with VMware server and an Ubun­tu guest. My guess as to why is this: VMware server is, in my eyes, built for pro­duc­tion-level server vir­tu­al­iza­tion. It’s not re­al­ly built for on-the-side home server vir­tu­al­iza­tion, like the kind that I’m do­ing, and on fair­ly desk­top-ori­ent­ed hard­ware to boot. Ba­si­cal­ly, my Ubun­tu in­stall often has trou­ble with disk ac­cess, and some­times net­work ac­cess as well. (I’m run­ning a Vis­ta Home Premi­um host with an Ubun­tu Server 8.04 guest.)

Squid 3 authenticating proxy chaining

My school us­es an NTLM-au­then­ti­cat­ing proxy server, and this caus­es prob­lems with lots of ap­pli­ca­tions which don’t sup­port proxy servers. Many, many so­lu­tions have been pro­posed to this prob­lem, but I’ll fo­cus on one that I find par­tic­u­lar­ly ap­peal­ing: set­ting up a non-au­then­ti­cat­ing per­son­al proxy server which for­wards re­quests to the main proxy server.

Up­date: use the new ver­sion of this con­fig file - it works bet­ter. Read more…
