*PikaPika* is a onomatopoeia for a flash light in Japanese. This art movement takes flash light stills and puts them together to make smooth animations.
“…We took a photo of each image using long exposures and put them together to make them look like one animation.To work on this project,we went out to various places in Japan:parks,under the train track,the Tokyo Bay,school hallways,and so on.
We got all sorts of friends in different fields together to work on this project.
During the process,they got to know each other and discover new things. This is also about “communicationâ€.
People can meet new friends as they create a piece art very easy which brings every one happiness.
We spend a very enjoyable evening at the workshop and the party through this animation…”
Just great!

Well this is my first post in this category and is not about “pimping it” but about how to install DarwinPorts and Rails / rubygems on it!
The very first step is to download DarwinPorts for your mac. In this example it will be this “http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/downloads/DarwinPorts-1.3.1-10.4.dmg”:http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/downloads/DarwinPorts-1.3.1-10.4.dmg
1 – Installing DarwinPorts
Install the DarwinPorts dmg and follow the easy-click-steps (_I will not publish screenshots here about this, it’s too easy!_)
2 – “_Sync it_”
As root run this in your terminal
%port sync
and you will get the latest Portfiles (“Makefiles”/Instructions for building ports)
3 – Update DarwinPorts
%port selfupdate
4 – Install Ruby and rubygems, via DarwinPorts
%port install ruby
%port -f install rb-rubygems
5 – Some nice commands to remember
List installed ports:
%port installed
Uninstalling ports:
% port -f uninstall rb-rubygems
Updating ports:
% port upgrade ruby
and so on as you can see in the port man page:
%man port
Installing Rails _and friends_
Simply….
%gem install rake --include-dependencies
%gem install rails --include-dependencies
%gem list --local
and it’s all folks…bye

”Wanna buy” one of these?!
What do you think about security in general ?!
Do you want to be tracked !?
