Computing

Notes on computing.

Computing

Various software we use for computing are examined here providing techniques and keybindings that are commonly used.

Shell

Shell programming notes.

We use the z shell and program in zsh. All items in .zsh.d with .zshenv and .zshrc symlinked. This setup is easily migrated to other machines. The items below illustrate various shell commands some which are specific to zsh.

Emacs

Various topics and aids for emacs

We belong to the church of emacs which we feel is the ultimate editor!

Clojure

Clojure programming notes

Clojure is a dynamic, general-purpose programming language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming.

Imagemagick

Useful magick for images.

Since we are going text/prg based for most things, we may consider imagemagick as a fairly regular replacement for gimp. This effort will also lead to understanding graphic software terminology.

Netricks

A series of neat, nifty, niknaks for the net.

Here are some useful things that can enhance your net efforts with websites, email, aibots, and more!

Lilypond

Music notation engraver.

LilyPond is a free program that lets you create beautiful sheet music for all kinds of music, from classical to modern, just like for piano or guitar.

Rosegarden

Midi composer and editor.

Rosegarden is a music composition and editing environment based around a MIDI sequencer that features a rich understanding of music notation and includes basic support for digital audio. Most important, it can produce lilypond files.

Vivaldi

The best browser around!

A browser that is powerful, personal and private, adapting to you, not the other way around.

Musescore

An outstanding piece of software for creating music notation.

Musescore4 is the most highly rated software for creating notation. It is pretty close to even Lilypond, but offers considerably greater flexibility. A nice bonus is that you can export to musicxml and then use Lilypond’s musicxml2ly (-l english)script to convert!

KDE

Items for KDE setup.

Various KDE matters are presented here.
