Linux powered, auto-aiming, smart rifle with 1,800-yard range

January 7, 2015 by Paul Spoerry 124 Comments

 

This bad boy can shoot a target moving 30 miles per hour at 1,800 yards distance. That's just a little over one mile (or 1.6 kilometers).

Here’s how you can set this up in less than 30 minutes (and for free). This assume you have Google Analytics installed for tracking purposes. Ready?

How to get Spaces and Expose on Windows

June 3, 2011 by Paul Spoerry 3 Comments

I’ve been a heavy Windows user my entire life. Sure, I’ve played with Linux but since as a profession I develop with Microsoft technologies I’ve always been tethered to the Windows world.
