Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Easter Egg In Moon Activity?
If you can't catch this eclipse, see when you can catch the next ones where you live: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=next+lunar+eclipse+at+current+geoIP+location http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=when+is+the+next+solar+eclipse And usually you can see when the ISS is next visible where you are, but right now it just shows you where it is: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=International+Space+Station+next+rise http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=ISS+at+10%3A29+AM Regards, Nick On Tue, June 14, 2011 11:31 am, Caryl Bigenho wrote: Hi Folks, Is there an Easter Egg in the Moon Activity? Last December I turned on my XO to see what the moon would look like durning the last Lunar Eclipse. It was pink! Was this a fluke? ... my imagination? or a fun thing put in by the developer of the Moon Activity? Don't know for sure. But, even though the eclipse, set for tomorrow in parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, won't be visable in North America, it might be on the XO! Be sure to check the time... there is an international date line involved. When the eclipse ended, the moon returned to a greyscale image. Here is a link to see whether it will be visible in the sky where you are (weather permitting): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Visibility_Lunar_Eclipse_2011-06-15.png Check your XOs to see if it is there too. If it isn't, it should be! (Hint!) Caryl I wonder if there is a corona when we have a solar eclipse???

Re: [Sugar-devel] Browse activity
I would be interested in continuing development of the Browse activity. We could connect with Mozilla's program to teach the web to kids, called Hackasaurus ( http://hackasaurus.org ). I have a quick hack to add their X-Ray Goggles, a kid-friendly HTML inspector, to the Edit toolbar: http://mapadelsur.blogspot.com/2011/03/hackasaurus-xo.html Or maybe that's a separate activity idea. I suppose most people won't need that in their browser. Regards, Nick Doiron On Wed, May 18, 2011 9:46 am, Gonzalo Odiard wrote: According to git, nobody is working in Browse master.

[Sugar-devel] [sugar-devel][olpc-haiti] Offline Maps Beta 2
Everyone's still snowbound here in Pittsburgh, so I made some significant updates to the OfflineMap activity. Right now it's being designed for Haiti, but if there's interest the same codebase could be used by another deployment. * Satellite Maps: Gonaives,Grand Goave,Miragoave,Anse a Galets,Etroits * Roadmaps: PortAuPrince,Lagonav,Jacmel,Leogane,Jeremie,Sant Marc,PortDePaix * Add to maps with markers, lines, and shapes: roadmap-level precision * Load Google Earth KML files with 100 points, rivers, polygon areas * Activity can be shared, markers editable by all users * When connected to the internet, you can paste from OSM or Google Maps Information and Screenshots: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Ndoiron/OfflineMap Download: http://haiti.latest.disaster-tool.appspot.com/OfflineMaps-2.xo Tutorial, links to sample KML files: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Ndoiron/OfflineMapTutorial Regards, Nick Doiron ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
