Raphael.js or Kinetic?

The biggest difference between RaphaelJS and KineticJS is that RaphaelJS uses SVG and KineticJS uses HTML5 Canvas for visualization.
So it really depends on what kind of project you are doing.

Here are some useful links which you should check out regarding SVG vs Canvas:

To summarize:

  • If you want to create some interactive charts I would go with RaphaelJS because it's easier to do that with SVG (KineticJS does provide some abstract API which should make it fairly easy to do that too).
  • If you want to visualize huge numbers of shapes/objects I would recommend to use KineticJS as canvas scales usually better with huge numbers of shapes/objects to be drawn and KineticJS uses multiple layers to improve rendering performance.

Gnomes like wine and vinegar

gnome3 – How can I connect to Gnome 3 with a Windows VNC client? Got “rightly” answered on Unix & Linux Stack Exchange

Here are some other possible solutions:

  1. Disable Vino encryption, and then setup an SSH tunnel
  2. Use a VNC client compatible with Vino’s TLS version: Android: bVNC Free, Windows: SSVNC, Linux: vinagre
  3. Use a different VNC server, such as tigervnc or x11vnc
  4. Use a different VNC server, such as tightvnc, with a different desktop manager, such as MATE, Xfce, LXDE, etc.

Harry Potter e il critico naturale

Un gdr adatto a essere utilizzato per Harry Potter e costruito espressamente per introdurre al gioco di ruolo le bambine è Witch Girls adventures. Dei gdr presentati in questo post è l’unico non amatoriale, e quindi non gratuito.
