It's not going to be worth it if you have to compile everything I think. I'm not sure if MariDB is in the repositories. The migration was about as easy as uninstalling one and then installing the other (after backing stuff up, of course). mySQL has been taken over by Oracle which is why some users have switched over to MariaDB. I don't know if I can notice much of a difference at all. There's supposed to be some minor improvements that compared to mySQL. I've only a few plugins installed and all of them are working. That's why I wanted to have a better solution that I can start and stop without any problems at any time. But the black screen bug (which apparently won't be fixed in Kodi 14) kept me from using it very often. It has some advantages like better configuration, much faster switching between HD TV channels etc. My main use of Kodi is as an alternate media player to omxplayer(GUI). I find the kodi performance on raspbian virtually identical to openelec, and offers Bluetooth audio support, something that openelec has always been missing.Does Mariadb offer any advantages over MySQL? I'm sure there'll be progress before long, it's excellent to have finally a kodi client/MySQL/samba server all in the same tiny box. ![]() The black screen issue, although irritating, is something I can live with. All Kodi installs accessing the same database need to be on the same version as well for this. Too much of a hassle I think to be jumping back and fourth between versions. I'm using MariaDB as well for my libraries as well and I think that a new database gets generated between versions. I'll be staying with the stable release as well. īetween that and the fact that half my Addons arent compatable with this version of kodi.I've gone back to the other version.Īhhh. G160 wrote:Many thanks for this, but I'm still getting the black screen every so often, about half of the times I exit kodi I'm stuck staring into space.

These kodi packages are all in one packages, that combine kodi and kodi.bin. It may not contain all the features of a stand-alone kodi system like OpenElec.

Update March, 7th, 2016: A kodi-16 version is available from the PiPplware repository: viewtopic.php?p=832735#p832735 I've seen people downloading 12 copies within an hour! If you need multiple copies, please download it once and copy it locally. These are a large files, which cause a lot of traffic on our server. It is not optimized for RPi2 and will work with any RPi model. It contains a few RPi-specific patches and may be a better solution than my package.

But if you don’t find a design to your liking, Sweet Home 3D can import new furniture models. Version 1.3 includes 75 furniture objects - everything from stairs to windows, chairs to radiators, even the kitchen sink. You can also set the opacity level of the walls, so that you can better see the entire model in the 3-D view. Walls have different properties, including thickness and slope, and you can assign different colors or textures to each side. You can rename furniture items (by default all copies inherit their library name), alter their color, or enter precise coordinates and scale information, should cursor placement not suffice. Right-clicking on any furniture or wall object allows you to modify its properties. ![]() Four handles appear on the bounding box of any selected object, with which you can rotate, scale horizontally, scale vertically, or change the elevation.Įlevation simply refers to the height of the bottom of the object with respect to the floor it is an important quantity for windows (which can be placed at any height) but also for smaller objects that you might place on top of a table or other item of furniture. Once in the scene, every furniture object appears in the 2-D grid as a bounding box with a thumbnail image of the object inside - to see the appearance of the object, you must look at the 3-D view. You can place an object into the scene either by choosing the Furniture -> Add to home menu item, or by dragging and dropping it from the list onto the 2-D grid. You select furniture objects to add to your model from the furniture list window it is hierarchical, grouping like objects in order to make browsing through your library simpler. Walls are a special type of object in Sweet Home 3D every other is considered “furniture,” including doors and windows. And if you change your mind, you can move, transform, or delete walls at any time. The interface displays the length of each segment as you draw it, and x- and y-axis crosshairs appear to help you align parallel walls precisely. The wall drawing tool snaps to 15 degree angle increments. Creating a typical model begins with drawing walls. Still, if you want to create a meaningful design, the app makes it easy. You can place a chair halfway through a wall, scale an elf-sized front door, or translate a table up in the z-axis so that it hovers a foot off of the floor - there are no rules. All of the objects that you add to the scene - walls, doors, windows, furniture, and other items - can be scaled, rotated, and moved at will. The program’s main window has four quadrants: a grid on which you place and rearrange walls and furniture, a real-time 3-D view of your design, a list of all of the furniture models that you can place into the scene, and a table of the objects currently in the scene.Īll drawing and object movement is done in the 2-D grid you can rotate and zoom in on the 3-D view, but it is only a rendering. desktop launcher for it, you have to edit the launcher script to point to your preferred Java runtime.

Basing his claim on the papal bull, Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa, the first European to reach the Pacific Ocean, in 1513, claimed on behalf of the Spanish Crown, all the shores washed by the Pacific Ocean, including the entire west coast of North America. Spain claimed that its sovereignty of Nueva Galicia had been granted by the papal decree in 1493, issued in the wake of Christopher Columbus’s discoveries of the previous year, and the Treaty of Tordesillas, signed between Spain and Portugal in 1494. Should any foreign settlements be encountered, he was to avoid them and sail farther north, where the ceremony of taking formal possession should be performed. He was not to make any settlement on land he should simply mark with a wooden cross and take formal possession of any site deemed suitable for occupation. The Viceroy governing New Spain, Antonio Maria Bucareli y Ursua, ordered Pérez to go 60 0 North (about the latitude of present-day Cordova, Alaska) and return to Monterey. On the day before Christmas, 1773, at the Spanish navy base at San Blas, Mexico, 175 miles southeast of Mazatlan, Pérez received instructions from the Spanish crown to conduct a survey of Nueva Galicia (the Spanish name for the Pacific Northwest) and officially reassert the claim of these unknown northern reaches for Spain.

This strait is the wide waterway stretching from the Pacific Ocean on the west to the San Juan Islands on the east, with Vancouver Island to the north and the Olympic Peninsula to the south. Neah Bay, home for the Makah Nation for over 3,500 years, lies five miles to the east of Cape Flattery, just inside the south entrance of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This settlement was in fact, the first European settlement in the Continental United States, West of the Rockies and North of San Francisco. Two hundred and twenty-five years ago, in 1792, Spanish Navy Lieutenant Salvador Fidalgo y Lopegarcía established the first permanent European settlement in the present state of Washington, at Neah Bay (latitude: 48.368122 N) on the Olympic Peninsula at the southwestern coast of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. ![]() Greg Bradsher, Senior Archivist at the National Archives at College Park.

On the brink of divorce from Emily and recently evicted from his department, the Thanksgiving leftover sandwich was the only glimmer of hope he had - and now it’s gone. He presents them with a serious dilemma: Someone at work ate his sandwich (Chandler: “Well, what did the police say?”). Ross had been greeting his friends with his signature depressing, “Hi,” since the pilot, and this episode is no different. He’s the nutty neurotic we just can’t get enough of. We purposely left out his relationship milestones, focusing less on him saying the wrong name at the altar and more him on seeking revenge on a luxury hotel by stealing lightbulbs and overstocking on tampons. Before taking the role of Ross, Schwimmer was about to quit television. He had also made a name for himself in the short-lived Henry Winkler sitcom Monty and his appearance on NYPD Blue. Co-creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane specifically wrote the part with him in mind after he auditioned for another pilot of theirs called Couples. It’s difficult to imagine anyone more suited for the role than David Schwimmer. He was an intellectual with an extremely wounded soul, someone who slept with an air purifier and boasted about having traveler’s insurance. His five friends would continuously smart-shame him for having a PhD, rolling their eyes at his mere mention of a dinosaur or mocking him for being a grammar nazi. He spent his formative years pining for his best friend’s sister, making out with the high school librarian and his college maid - all before his wife left him for another woman. Most importantly, he hates ice cream!īut Ross is also the most amusing character on the show, the whimsical loser who never really stood a chance at being the most beloved. He has a seemingly rough time gauging basic distances, whether he’s forcing his new couch up a narrow flight of stairs or trying to inch his new red sports car out of a parallel parking spot. He loses his cool over a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, dramatically calling it the only good thing going on in his life before his job forces him to take a sabbatical. ![]() He’s at times extremely whiny, defensive, and arrogant. He was a terrible boyfriend, not only to Rachel but to the many women he dated during the show’s ten seasons. Even nearly three decades after the show first aired, the neurotic paleontologist is still the source of endless debate, the subject of listicles and think pieces that beg the question: Is Ross Geller the greatest or worst character on Friends? There is no Friends character more divisive than Ross. |
