/* in our main function we establish the variable
*/

function main()
{
var e;
e=0;

//now we are calling the loop part of our main function
main = function()
{
    print(e + " \r");
    e ++;
    return arguments[0] + 1;
}
}

überdruck

We have been happy to support kombinat’s new piece überdruck with our work on the media framework. We used isadora as the playout engine, installed on a mac mini.

Isadora is triggered  by a user pushing the big red buzzer.

Then a combination of randomness, air pressure systems, latex specialty and kombinat’s wisdom in setting the right values will give you an unique experience with this machine.

 

downgrading a mac os system on a new mac

preparing a macmini as an izzy installation machine:

since the macos x installer would not work on a newer system, a work around is to reshape your drive partition with disk utility and add a 8 GB sized partition for the installer. Using the createinstallmedia command from Apple (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372) an installer can be created on your HD / SSD. Problems during installation with slow, faulty USB Sticks are gone and afterwards the partition could be used as a 2nd boot option for the terminal / diskutility or be erased.
