You can keep your creations to yourself or to share. You can also use the FontStruct widget to show your FontStructions on your own website or blog.
Before you start working with photo images on your computer (or even view them), you should really make sure that your video subsystem is capable and is displaying things correctly. These pages will assist you in adjusting your monitor by providing various test patterns. They also give a brief introduction to issues involved in calibrating a monitor
The Linux Kernel is one of the most complex open source projects. There are a lot of books, however it is still a difficult subject to comprehend. The Interactive map of Linux Kernel gives you a top-down view of the Kernel. You can see most important layers, functionalities, modules, functions and calls. You can zoom in and drag around to see details. Each item on the map is a hypertext link to source code or documentation.
a Linux distribution that is about 100 megabytes, yet it includes a complete set of graphical applications, combined with extensive utility applications. Puppy was created from scratch, file-by-file, optimized for size at every step. Another feature of Puppy Linux is that it can work totally without a hard drive, even allowing you to save data and install extra packages by saving back to the CD or DVD.
aims to be for webservices and for C# programs what GNU/Linux is rapidly becoming for desktop and server applications: the industry leader and provider of Free Software solutions.
a general purpose monitoring platform. First, at run time, Pandora reads static configuration files either from disk or from the network. Second, if told so, Pandora opens a control socket to which commands can be sent. Pandora provides an API with C++, C and Guile bindings to ease the construction of clients. These commands allow queries of the actual configuration of the platform and to perform arbitrary modifications on it.
an Add-in for Visual C++ designed to help overcome one of the most annoying (and unnecessary) chores of developing/maintaining Windows applications - maintaining resource symbol ID values.

designed to enable effective program optimization across the entire lifetime of a program. LLVM supports effective optimization at compile time, link-time (particularly interprocedural), run-time and offline (i.e., after software is installed), provides a low-level object code representation that uses simple RISC-like instructions, but provides rich, language-independent, type information and dataflow (SSA) information about operands.
This document explores methods for squeezing excess bytes out of simple programs. (Of course, the more practical purpose of this document is to describe a few of the inner workings of the ELF file format and the Linux operating system. But hopefully you can also learn something about how to make really teensy ELF executables in the process.)
