Re: webDAV (lite) framework?

2008-07-22 Thread em

Does it not make sense for you to rely on Finder's built-in WebDAV 
support?   
Absoutely not--that wouldn't make sense if I was looking for an 
objective-c framework.  And by the way, do you always answer  a 
question with another question?  Isn't that bizarre?

Concurrent network transmission

2008-07-17 Thread em
G'day all,

Every computer that Apple sells contains both fire-wire as well as built-in 
Ethernet.  Is there any generally re-useable technique (API?) for utilizing
TCP/IP over both the built-in Ethernet connection as well as 'TCP-IP over 
firewire' for high-speed network transmission?
thanks,
em

Re: Concurrent network transmission

2008-07-17 Thread em
 Matt, much thanks for the correction to my inaccurate statement.  If I'm not 
mistaken my 2.0Ghz G5 iMac has FW400--not FW800.
Also the current minis have FW400 only. This is surprising since older models, 
i believe, had FW800--years ago.
I could be wrong and I apaologize for not taking the time to check the specs, 
but that was really an aside.
When speaking of 'concurrent network transmission' I didn't include WI-FI 
(80211.n specifically), mistakenly thinking this was a bit
too slow.  So, architecturally, for high speed transmission over a closed 
network neighborhood of say 9 minis, isn't there something 
like a SuperSocket that could co-ordinate these now '3' streams of info.
Forgive me for drawing an analogy, but the third computer I ever worked on was 
designed by Seymour Cray and the engineers at the
time commented 'we just keep on throwing PPU's at it and it doesn't even 
blink.  All the current chips/busses are quite a bit more poweful than
this cdc6600 that was sitting at Purdue in the late 60's and certainly should 
be capable of supporting this technique.
So, again, thanks for the correction--which might be the 'death knell' of 
firewire?

 thanks,

Note - The MacBook Air does NOT have firewire.

For those with Firewire you can set up a network interface to use it.  
In the Network System Preferences you can add/Enable Firewire as a  
connection. As for APIs, sorry don't know myself.

Matt

triangulating webcams

2008-07-12 Thread em
I'm proto-typing a tri-screen GUI.  I have 3 mac minis in a local network and 
would like to triangulate 
their three web-cams.   It's purely exploratory self-funded research on my part 
at this point. 
Any positive, constructive replies would be appreciated.

RE: Triangulating webcams

2008-07-12 Thread em
Thanks much for your thoughtful responses.  I found both of them helpful.

A few years ago I ran across the MPI framework, but I don't think this required 
Xgrid,
altho you'd certainly need someway to identify network nodes.  
I don't think MPI requires Xgrid, but I certainly could be wrong on this.

There was a nice article describing the running of Xgrid without any kind of  
'server'--I didn't think this was possible.
I don't have a server implemented and have no intention of installing Xserve 
(nor a freebie)at present--out of my budgeted time and money.
I don't think Xgrid is limited to 'local' as Andrew stated.

I can easily transport 'strings' over a network using UDP 
multi-casting/broadcasting via Quartz Composer, but some of these
strings may get a little lengthy.  What's a good language statement(s) (obj c 
API)  for transporting small (10MB) data structures over a network?  
Is this what 'sockets' are used for?  In other words, I'm trying to fill the 
performance gap between extremely small data structures
(strings) sent between network nodes  and  shared NAS time capsule storage.  

Thanks Andrew for the ref. to opencv, but they won't let me visit any sites 
outside of Apple:-).

I would enjoy developing these by myself, but I keep hearing people say, 'don't 
do it, it's already been done--reuse and recycle'.

Again, thanks for your comments regarding 'triangulating webcams'.

afferentless mac mini

2008-07-09 Thread em
I have a Network Receiver application which is in my login items section of 
an Apple Intel mac mini
computer running the latest version of Leopard.  I do not need a keyboard, nor 
a mouse directly wired to this computer(or indirectly thru wifi:-)), as  these 
afferent branches are obviously to be supplied over a network.  This doesn't 
work 'out of the box', as some part of Leopard demands a keyboard before my 
'login items' are launched.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. 
thanks,
em

Rerouting keyboard input

2008-07-07 Thread em
I would like to be able to  reassign the primary system keyboard input so as to 
direct it to an incoming  network stream.   It's a general query at present and 
any suggestions would be appreciated.  I'm leaning toward writing a 
Cocoa/Objective C/PPC Masm app--locating and modifying the remote apple 
events api (if there is one), but i'm not sure whether this can be done by 
simply re-directing a unix pipe, or tweaking Darwin.
thanks,
em
