[General Topics] S0AndS0:
I thought ya might if you've got a stumble upon account; then look up the user "farsite" and follow or subscribe or bookmark the list called "MixedTape" that is where I catalog only the best that I can find for video "educammint(sp?)" Its going on its 2 year birthday so there's over 100 things to tickle the mind and eyes with. Note; there is a bit of entertainment mixed in to keep the educational content from being to dry :)

No worries and no hurries, though its good to see that you're committed to testing :D on the prototypes subject; after running though and keeping my word to the other dev teams ( installing Casual, MapTools, jMonkey, and Openstack in particular order) I'll be adding Blender and some other 3D editing software packages so that developers can use this system/guide to Build/Edit and share 3D design files easily wile still being 100% mobile :D

Note: you can already do all this with other guides and resources across the net; I'm just going to make really easy here.

When this happens I'll likely get back into 3D designing stuff again and put some models to our words here; joint designed flying machine if your up to it? Talking more than a few weeks out though because I've still a lot of normal work and work here to get done before I can seriously make any plans of committing to that... Like ya said, the days are too short.

I think you might find this new version that I dreamed up last night and wrote most of the day through on (yeah when I say "miner editing" I really mean "ridiculous overhaul in ease of use" scroll up to the previous post that I made, I added the new version above the old one, or check the Google Drive version because it's public again and "safe") this new version will make things way easier for you to modify it to work on any of your Linux machines (if you edit and test and it works on your laptops too; upload the changes and I'll make some new copies for those specific builds on Google Docs and here on XDA so that they can then be shared out to their respective Q&A or documentation forums. I see no reason why we can't make this as easy as possible for any new user to Quadcopters to start flying, irregardless of what device they may have to control it with ;) though for the windows and mac and Iphone/Ipad devices I'll need way more help on as it's not likely to be in Bash commands.

Ok I'm going to have to finish up with my other promises fast, because I want to get into flying one of these and modding too. I think maybe 8 weeks or so... I bet you've seen the one on "FPS Russia" (youtube.com guy that has a lot of fun with guns) that has him remoting a Quad with an Ipad. If not I'll get around to linking in but I'll suggest right now;

Paint-Ball or Air-Soft wars with actual air support, like "call of dutie(s)" or a really scary "no trespassing sine" enforcement :D for civilians... kinda one of those bad good ideas, but if done right; it would be one hell of a good time to go out and find one of those kits (a Quad with paint-ball gun attached) and controller when paint-balling and really make people "rue the day" they chose to go after my teams flag... Hope you can see what I'm seeing because on the opposing side it would totally be a "WTF" moment and if one where to have cameras throughout, it would make one good youtube channel to have for a live feed of the different angles, get the viewers to make the compilations or get a volunteer to do it and it would be fantastic.

Well I can understand the preferences of both sides; on one had the sheets would reduce mass and wait and decrease points of failure, But, from my findings into what "they're" currently calling "4D Printing" (check it out on ted.com) and what I already know through "arts and crafts" (which includes (but is not a complete list of) croshay(sh?), knitting, sewing, and wire working for small pendants and cellphone stands) I think your friend may be onto something that could be more robust in features, think of the way an octopus has very minute control over not just the colour pattern but also the pattern of textures across its entire body (I'll link in some videos if I get the chance) I think it would be far easier to "weave" the wires into a few stacked layers (like putting on 5 fish net shirts) and attaching control points at regular intervals so that the stacked layers can pull and leverage against one another (like "goos bumps" or how the toungs(sp?) mussels move) then put one outer coating to protect and not let air though the membrain(sp?) And we would have a skinning technique(s) that could then be replied and modified for other applications; such as active ware clothing that auto vents without the aid of separate power source (just got to dial in the heat sensitivity) or body armor that tenses up around an impact (this would require an "active system" to accomplish) or around an open wound to protect from damage or prolong the time between point of wound and time of expiration without aid... yeah so I think the stuff is cool and if I had access to labs and teams I'd be elbow deep in changing things for the better :D maybe have your friend stop by, could get ya all aboard this "cross pollination dev experience" and maybe make something new to the world here ;)

Hopefully you've already seen the changes and everything that I've done up to the point of this reply (had to shut off my computer for a little wile for cooling) then I got to work on this post on the mobile side I'll be starting my work "week" soon so help and writing will be slow and short/quick updates when that happens. Which seems like it will work out great on timing for us; because you'll have a few days to play with this on your days off while I'm not making any edits to it.

Update 6pm myTime- I'll be on the task of scripting up installing Java to Linux/Android most of the rest of the night and coming days but will still be around for support and questions.

Update 9pm myTime- so I've got a clearer view of what I can get accomplished, realistically, now that I've got my work schedule. Monday though Thursday I'll have some free time, lots of it on Tuesday for support and updates; the weekends, this upcoming one and next one (including Friday) I've thankfully been given enough work hours that I'll be able to do more than pay my bills :D :D and maybe start saving up for a Quadcopter myself ;) so I can actively test with you.

Oh and I don't know if "guest" viewers have the permissions to "view revision history" which is only available on the PC side of Google Drive, but I digress, if you can view the change history, then you can watch nearly every step that I took to change it into what it is now; just imagine Bob Ross from PBS talking you though it because I don't have the set up to do instructional videos yet, but if I do then I'll try to put'em up here or at Khan Academy as they'd likely get some hits in the beginner Linux community :)

Update 11pm myTime- ...ok last update for tonight because I've work tomorrow.

Started in on massively modifying and adding the "new script" I'm writing for Java dependent projects after my last set of updates to this post, I should be done cooking up that "Cookie Recipe" by Tuesday (I hope) and then be able to add options in for all the different Dev projects that I'm trying to help support to install those in one easy package... soon I'll be looking for some help in packing these up into an Android App that I'll update with more script packs as I write and have them tested (here first of course), probably monthly update cycle for that. This is a future goal but will pursue. And yes the app will be here first in alpha and beta when I get it fleshed out then be brought to the Google Market place if people take a liking to it; all of which I plan to make free and without adds (if I can help it) sooo, to any reader that's thinking "I can help with that" or something similar, I say "right on, get in touch and let's change this world" main goals for this app will be

Guiding new users though any of the methods in this guide by way of eBook (or similar functioning full screen text with low memory usage) and an "Install Wizard" for new Linux Android user and a "Dash Board" for; opening/editing and running any of the install scripts (for some), and for performing "Manual Install" steps such as re-partitioning or adjusting virtual disk image sizes, and compiling local repos or back-ups of the Linux OS

So three main tabs or screens for displaying or interacting with the mundain parts of setting up your own Linux environment and customize it all from one app. I'll also want to add features that involve rooting Android to Android and what I will call for right now "Hack-Stack" a pen-testers mobile Linux experience that will allow for mobile development in Rooting, Hacking, and wireless Security. Hope I've got all your brains a churning on how amazing this could be for all of us.
