Jacob Christ is a product designer and proprietor of pontech.com. PONTECH is an exciting venture that is contributing to the open source hardware movement by creating unique products for industrial applications. Jacob has personal concern about creating sustainable and renewable manufacturing techniques and believes that by creating open platforms. Open platforms help reduce the obsolescence of a product by extending their useful life beyond the traditional life of a similarly proprietary device. The extended life comes by enabling individuals to re-purpose the device after its initial purpose has been exhausted or by allowing the product to be serviced after the original creators of the device have long since moved on.
Besides being the chief product advocate at PONTECH Jacob also adjunct faculty at Mt. San Antonio College where he teaches electronics and programming in the technology division.
Self (and sometimes externally) taught programmer that started dabbling in the art at the tender early age of ten years old. After a rough time in public education and being ejected from high school after his third freshman year Jacob went on to great success at Mt.San Antonio College studying electronics. Later transferring to Cal Poly Pomona where he studied Electrical Engineering then later switching to Computer Science.
PONTECH was founded around 1992 by Pon Nonliboon. In 1993, Pon joins the Cal Poly Pomona Solar Energy Team (CaPSET). Jacob Christ also a member of CaPSET and Pon meet and later that year Jacob becomes employee #2 of PONTECH. Pon and Jacob design a few PONTECH products together including the SV200, SV203, STP100 and Glyph (with Dennis Walker also from CaPSET). During this time they also and engage in consulting working on projects some interesting project including the following:
RDMS (Remote Disconnect Management System) - off shore oil Slack controller laying cable on the ocean bottom - off shore oil Dispensing control system (similar to a gas pump) - off shore oil
In 1998 PONTECH has growing pains, Pon and others leave company to pursue other interests, Jacob retains PONTECH name, products and two consulting customers.

The most interesting part of this idea is that it's illegal to fly UAV's in the U.S. and the hazard of mid air collision with (anything) could create a public outcry should this actually be attempted which would put the company in a difficult position. I suspect its a publicity stunt to get funding. The nice line of thought for this idea is that its quite audacious and quite viable. But to make it happen will require a lot of infrastructure to make it work. I had been thinking about a similar idea but for pizza delivery. To make lots of UAV's flown by different entities over any area would require flight plans. These flight plans could be registered with a database so to reserve UAV air space. When a vehicle is about to take off it could file its flight plan provided no other vehicles will be in its path during flight. If the vehicle has on board internet connectivity, the flight plan could be updated in real time should the vehicle decide it wants to go somewhere else (though it would have to only alter course to non-reserved air space). If the system worked smoothly, it could be used for commercial air craft as well, eliminating the need for air craft controllers, or for that matter pilots. I've been told that Boeing 747's pretty much can take off, fly the there course and land all on auto. The pilot is there to taxi.

Hi Guys,
That is an interesting idea.
Best, Ali
The idea: allow for 10-20% of a companies work force to have a very low minimum wage, say $2/hr, with the caveats that the particular employees must be provided with full coverage health care for their entire family. Additionally, they should receive compensation for a 40 hour week irregardless of hours worked and be entitled to holidays. Further, the positions must be in such that could only be filled by overseas workers. As economy recovers, the percentage of workers allowed with this status can slowly be reduced. The repeal would encourage companies to hire at a great discount while giving the low wage families an alternative to a higher salary with no health care. A side benefit is that it may encourage some companies to consider domestic production rather than foreign. Which would in turn reduce greenhouse gas emission by lowering fuel used to move good overseas.
Ever since hearing about the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon (I'm three degrees myself) I have been fascinated with the idea, but recently I've had some interesting things occurred that are in hind site obvious to occur (but I guess not to me). I have some friend that have friend in common, one day I realized that two of these friends were in the room with me and had just met each other but neither realized that the reason they new me in the first place was that they had a friend in common. Visions of digraphs in my automatically rearranging came into existence.

(2010-04Apr-23) I recently discovered Hilary Mason and her talk on how to replace yourself with a very small shell script which has emphasis on using scripts for answering e-mails for commonly asked questions. This has lead me to a few thoughts on the subject.
Many years ago (in my early to late teens), despite my early hatred of school I discovered that I loved learning. Further thinking on this led me to believe that I'm not alone, and that people in general crave new knowledge without even realizing it. The result is our general fascination with television and video games. Both provide immediate stimulation to our brains without (in most cases) substance that helps further our survival.

In computer science, it is my opinion that, it is generaly regarded among better computer scientists that computer languages that are orthogonal in nature, that is, look the same for different behaviors, are better than (or easier to use) than those that are not. Today while coding some stuff that is used by non-computer scientist I've been wrestling with an issue due to its lack of orthogonality. While doing this I had the insight that the reason it was bugging me was not that I wanted it to be orthogonal for the sake of be orthogonal but that if it was orthogonal that the non-computer scientist that would be using the program would find the program easier to use as well. This in turn made me realize that not only to our brains crave knowledge, but they crave orthogonal knowledge. It makes sense if you think about it, things that operate the same way are easer to deal with once one of those things has been mastered, hence the popularity of windowing GUI interfaces and the frustration with MS Windows every time Microsoft releases a new version that works differently than in the past. As I think on, orthogonality is all around us in the products we use and design, the first thing that comes to mind are the controls for an automobile. We already know that truck drivers and motor cyclists are required to have special licenses for these vehicles with specialized controls and challenges to operate. Imagine if each vendor had a different user interface for there automobile, it may require specialized licenses for each make and model of car sold. So if our brains crave this orthogonality and companies continue to patent GUI innovations they may be in essence hurting themselves by limiting the use of there innovation if every other program works differently but the same.

This is an idea that has been festering in my head for about 17 years from my days of having to deal with 6GB of storage spread across 6 or more computers as a CAD admin and constantly dealing with missing files due to the vast amounts of storage we had (I personally have about 10TB of storage myself now on two computers). Recently, I've had clarity of vision on how to implement a partial solution to the problem, that is keeping track of ambiguous data without wasting storage capacity. The clarity came from learning and gawking over Linus Trovald's git version control system. My idea may not be unique and others may already be implementing such systems and I'm just not aware of it, but here here is my plan… The idea is to build a world network drive that stores users file by sha1 hash therefor keeping only a single copy of any single uploaded file that may be in the possession of millions. Stage one would run on a single server, stage two would use torrents to allow you retrieve your file from the world network. Stage three would be the appearance that all your terabytes of files are on your local machine by caching your most frequently accessed 500GB or so, maybe even caching the first 1-10% of less frequently use mp3 files so that you can start listening right away while the remainder is downloaded over a slower network connection. This would allow 500GB of mp3 storage to appear as 5-50TB of local storage as long as the network is there to retrieve missing portions. Sha's could be calculated locally with disambiguating numbers as well so that if your file is already in the cloud then there is no need to even upload it, it would be just added to your list of files (this could pose security issue by allowing someone to spoof a sha to get access to your cloud data. Just wanted to put the idea down in case I don't have time to implement it, maybe someone else could benefit from the vision.

Crowd sourced link correction
Hilary (Mason),
I had an idea for bit.ly today. Maybe you've already thought of it or have one up'ed my idea and have something in the works. I'm sharing it because I don't have time to implement it and its inline with what bit.ly already has working.
On more than one occasion I've clicked a link in a e-book or even on a web page that take you to a like that has been moved, taken down or generally changed from the original link intent.
Wouldn't it be nice if crowd sourcing could help fix the broken link. Say you come across the following link:
but the server or file is missing. The users of the link could log into bit.ly and indicate this is the case and offer alternatives to the missing url. The next users that come along instead of being redirected are presented with a page that has a link to the original link as intended and also alternatives that were added by others.

The book “Getting Started with Drupal Commerce” by Richard Jones has help (but not solved) my Drupal Commerce challenges. The book walks you through installing and setting up a site. Once you have walked through the book once its a challenge to go back and hunt for all the links to needed modules, so I have compressed them here for my needs when I'm working remotely. They are pretty much meaningless without a guild such as this book.

The following additional libraries were needed to get QT 4.5 to compile code after install. I was able to retrieve them using the Synaptic Package Managaer.
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev libglib2.0-dev libsm-dev libXrender-dev libfontconfig-dev libxext-dev xorg-dev
Once I installed all of these libs I was able to compile a project containing only a QTMainWindow object.
NOTE: I am very happy that QT 4.5 did not require root access to install itself, this is a well built installer.

First impressions of ØMQ. Nice for sending data around internally but not good over the internet (due to lack of security), which means learning two different sets of technologies for sending data around networks.
I created a github project with my learning efforts here: https://github.com/JacobChrist/zmq-chat
I recently (13-07Jul-2008) had an issue where when I pressed the “Save All” icon in the Visual Studio IDE the program would hang (lockup if you will). I was able to resolve the issue by doing two things (though I suspect only one is responsable for the fix).
I added this note to my wiki page, becuase I couldn't find anything quickly on-line on how to resolve the issue and I thought it might help other developers in despair .
(2009-11Nov-09) had an issue where my task list window in VS2008 disappeared. It was a result of a flaky mouse button causing the window to move below the windows task bar making it not visable on the screen (since my task bar is set to on top of other windows). I had to turn on auto hide on the windows task bar to be able to find my task list.
As much as I try to ignore it, I think cloud computing is going to be a real thing. Here are some intresting technologies:

Hi-Tech PICC18 PRO Compiler
2013-09Sep-10 After a long period of not using the compiler, I've returned to fix a bug and found that my compiler was no longer activated. This was probably due to a rebuild of the computer that it was running on. After a day of back and forth with Microchip they offered the following solution which worked! Thank you Microchip!
1. Execute the run file in your Linux command prompt like this
./picc_xxxx.run
2. Enter the Serial Number when prompted.
3. After a successful installation of the compiler there will be a message as: Command succeeded.
My activation key was in the following format: “HCPIC18-xxxxx” and I was lucky I had the original installs still.

My guess is that Massimo Banzi would classify chipKIT as being in the hazy cloud of products that call themselves “Arduino-compatible”
https://blog.arduino.cc/2013/07/10/send-in-the-clones/
- Arduino-compatibles There is also a hazy cloud of products that call themselves “Arduino-compatible” but their actual compatibility is sometimes really marginal. We go from products that have a semi-compatible port of the Arduino API but use very different processors, to boards that call themselves an “Arduino” just because they have a couple of connectors mechanically compatible with Arduino. -Massimo Banzi — July 10th, 2013
This, for example, is very common on Kickstarter where a number of projects try to get traction by using (sometimes obsessively) the Arduino keyword throughout the project description. Normally we’re pretty relaxed about these unless they are really shameless, then we email them and sometimes they realize they have gone too far.
Massimo, you keep using this term “open source” but I don't think it means what you thinks it means.
The purpose of this directory is to store libraries that can be used across projects. The idea is great provided a library is stable and complete. However a library that is changing over time presents the following problem.
Project 1 is created with library Version 1 and everything is good. A year later Project 2 is created but a newer version of library is available. The library is updated to Version 2 and Project 2 works fine. Another year passes. Project is found to have bug that needs to be fixed quickly. The project is loaded and the developer finds that the project does not compile. The frustrated overworked developer quickly realizes that a days worth of work is needed to re-factor the code to fix a simple bug. The re-factor is minor compared to the test suite that must be run to verify the re-factor to support the newer version of the library didn't break the existing code. Additionally, by changing library versions the Project 2 code is now broken. And a endless cycle of pain begins.
How we deal with this: Every project gets there own mpide_projectX/ directory so that libraries can be tracked with the project. The down side is MPIDE needs to be restarted to pick up the new libraries directory.
What would be better: If the individual sketch folder could have a libraries directory that can be searched prior to the mpide sketch folder. This libraries can be tracked as submodules of a specific sketch.

These notes for building MPIDE for chipKIT are based on information from Rick Anderson whom pointed me to these notes. Additionally the notes were augmented from e-mail threads with Rick.
Also note that this setup is for Windows 7.
Install java SDK and ant
Environment Variable Mods:
ANT_HOME = C:\Users\jacob\Downloads\apache-ant-1.8.4 CLASSPATH = .;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\lib\ext\QTJava.zip JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03 PATH = %PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
To build:
cd /path/to/mpide cd build ant
If everything went well, you'll have no errors.
Then to run it
ant run -Dversion=anydata
To build MPIDE into a package with a version use:
ant dist-test -Dversion=anydata
Which will output the following:

Subject: Hypocritical Film Makers (http://thefuelfilm.com)
Dear Filmmakers,
Like An Inconvenient Truth, to see your film I will have drive my car at least 50 miles in one direction. A 40 year old technology exists today to prevent this waste, but like the fuel companies themselves, it would appear that greed and fear of the new is preventing your film from reaching a wider audience while at the same time reducing the use of the one thing that your film seems be saying we waste so much of.
Please, put your film on-line for viewing using a pay-per-view model. The fuel I would not have to purchase to go see your film could easily pay for the viewing itself (you could even build in a fuel cost savings calculator into the price of viewing the film on-line). You will make more money per viewing than you would in a theater and you will help me and may others reduce our dependence on FUEL. While your at it, you can do the same for the book “Biodiesel America”.
