About KATHERINE
Pronounced: KATH-ə-rin, KATH-rin
From the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine). The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name ‘Εκατερινη (Hekaterine), which came from ‘εκατερος (hekateros) "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek αικια (aikia) "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". In the early Christian era it became associated with Greek καθαρος (katharos) "pure", and the Latin spelling was changed from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this.
The name was borne a semi-legendary 4th-century saint and martyr from Alexandria who was tortured on a spiked wheel. The saint was initially venerated in Syria, and the name was introduced to Western Europe by returning crusaders. It has been common in England since the 12th century in many different spellings, with Katherine and Catherine becoming standard in the later Middle Ages.
Famous bearers of the name include Catherine of Siena, a 14th-century mystic, and Catherine de' Medici, a 16th-century French queen. It was also borne by three of Henry VIII's wives, including Katherine of Aragon, and by two empresses of Russia, including Catherine the Great.

Fedora 14 - next wallpaper concept
The new concept of wallpaper on which I worked.
I used Blender 3D. Rendering time was short, less than 2 min.
This is because I used some tricks.
It seems more appropriate for a wallpaper.
See bellow:

Simple script to get the exchange rate.
Some time ago I made a small script to find out the exchange rate.
I have not used it much and today I came across it.
Who needs something, here's how it looks:
That's all.

That's all.
Parsing files and rename ...
Sometimes you have to rename files.
This can be tiring when we do it manually.
Command "sed" may be helpful in this case.
I'll take a simple example. I will create a working directory called "work."
We have to create files with the command:
The result should be :

OpenGL and Python - Motion blur
What is glAccum? The OpenGL function - glAccum operate on the accumulation buffer.
This function provides support for many special effects.
Today I simulated the effect of motion blur with this function.
See the picture below:

"Santa Claus" on Google Map
I wrote on my blog python-catalin.blogspot.com about Google Map and Santa Claus:
I wrote a python module. I called it "geo" because it is a geographic module.
The funny stuff is when i use it with "Santa Claus".
So where is Santa Claus ?!
Google Maps API should be prepared to respond.
Tomorrow a child will know how to use the Python language.
Who knows ...

Christmas is coming.
I love Christmas. I like going shopping. I love snow.
Two days ago, inspired by this holiday I started to create an application.
Here's what came out.
As you can see is not wallpaper, is just a python script.

News: Go - a systems programming language
Do you hear about "Go"?
This is the logo :
...and this is the code:
" this combines the style of Python, the syntax of vBasic, and the speed of C?"
For me is like "perl".

First post on planet.fedorapeople.org
I tried to connect to planet.fedorapeople.org.
I asked several people but it's Monday and world works.
After several unsuccessful attempts and internet search, I started the setup.
Some of SELinux settings and this is the result.
However, some settings ssh should be underlined.
I mean ssh_config configuration file and some security settings.
It seems that I succeeded.
