As long as Windows is configured correctly, it should automatically handle daylight savings changes for you. Daylight savings time isn't be honoured correctly: NetTime works internally with UTC (Universal Time) and doesn't have any code for handling daylight savings or time zones. NetTime is syncing, but the time is out by an hour - e.g. Possible solutions are to either remove all but one server address - in which case, the time returned by it will always be used - even if it's invalid, or change your servers - if you're using the NTP Pool servers, then you should point to the servers for a larger geographic area. If it can't find a unique secondary server that provides a time which is a close fit to the time returned by the primary server, it will fail with "Inconsistent Responses" The most common causes for this is if multiple servers are configured but point to the same IP address, or you're using the default servers and you are in a region with only 1 actual server in the NTP Pool. NetTime is failing to sync - it reports that it had "Inconsistent responses" If there is a large time difference between the local system and the time returned by the time server, NetTime will automatically check with a secondary server to ensure that the time that it has received is actually valid. If you can run a UDP traceroute to port 123 on one of the time servers that you're using, that should give you an indication of where the firewall is located. If you have temporarily disabled all firewalls that you know of and continue to have this problem, then it's almost certainly a firewall that you aren't aware of. It's not always obvious that a firewall even exists as they generally allow regular web traffic to pass normally. NetTime is failing to sync - it reports that all servers failed: The most common cause of this error is that a firewall is blocking the Network Time Protocol (UDP Port 123) between your system and the servers that NetTime is attempting to use. ![]() If you uninstall the old version first, you will need to restart your computer before starting the new installer.

NetTime was originally written by Graham Mainwaring in 1997 with an open source release made in 1998. If you're looking for a program to keep your system time accurate, you've just found it! (32 bit and 64 bit operating systems are both supported) NetTime - Network Time Synchronization Tool NetTime I don't know why, or what it is that doeds it, but it's like a 99.5% reliable thing, and as an IT tech, I of course witness the 0.5% of times when it causes mind-bogglingly stupid problems. I don't know what it is with sleep modes and computers, but over the years, this whole functionality somehow leads to problems more than not. As backwards as that sounds.įWIW I've spun my wheels extensively on some tech issues, only to have finally caved and contacted tech support (usually I feel contacting 1st level tech support is a massive waste of time - usually it is, even on multiple contacts), but I sometimes find they just know what's what. I suspect this type of issue is well known, but hard to track down anybody that knows about it. But I'm sure the interactivity with the back-end M365 platform is probably the same - I don't use InTune but I'm sure some form of MDM/EMM functionality is governing this stuff in the background, using default "stuff" from Microsoft. I'm not running any enterprise-level management on this, all these situations I see are always with just M365 Business Standard. The problem had gone away on its own, I think if memory serves by reinstalling. I'm not actually sure where to look in the event logs for stuff related to install/uninstall for Office - the started Application log shows msiinstaller stuff related to my installing it, but keyword searching for "office" shows nothing that points to a removal or an update of the software. So I suspect in some kind of dumb way, Office was updating itself and screwed up? The last Windows update was May 12, the quality update for. ![]() This then let me start the installer I had downloaded, which is currently in progress for downloading (though, extremely slowly, despite a 19ms / 120Mbps connection - MS having issues I wonder? - 11:35 AM Eastern May 15 2020). old, (surprisingly it let me without hassle), and upon doing that, I then was able to kill the now-memory-only OfficeC2R exe file from Task Manager. I did the Open File Location, found the exe for this thing, renamed it with. It wouldn't end, it would just pop back up again in Task Manager (but again nothing in the actual UI). Task Manager shows some OfficeC2R stuff, which I tried to End Task. Running the installer, it tells me an installation is already in progress, yet there are no taskbar/notification area icons. The only slight clue I have on this is that, given that it's gone, I decided to first just re-download the installer after logging into. The software is gone completely, nothing in Apps, except the generic Office Click to Run icon that's usually found on Win 10 machines whether Office was actually installed or not. Googling on this, most people focus on missing icons. Updating of Office and Mac will resolve this issue.

Go to App store on your dock and then go to updates and check for any available update. A user under a Microsoft 365 Business Standard (formerly O365 Business Premium) license reported to me today that all Office 365 apps have disappeared from her Win 10 Pro computer. I don’t have that many screenshots of the actual porting process unfortunately but there are a few taken during porting of Goatup so you can see something of how it works. And have playable VR versions fall out by default too. I thought it’d even be nice if I could make it so everything could be playable and look cool in VR as well as on a normal monitor, since by now we have a fair bit of VR experience and the necessary bits in our engine, so why not?Īnd so the framework for Minotaur Arcade was made – a ‘virtual arcade game’ environment designed to be easy to port MP games into (and therefore by their very nature *any* sprite and tile based games also), which would allow me to get ports up and running relatively quickly, then allow me to add extra stuff to make them more interesting and fun. ![]() Now most old arcade machines were sprite and tile based, and so was a lot of the old Minotaur Project stuff, so I started thinking about how I might go about creating some kind of framework into which it would be easy to port sprite and tile based stuff, making it easy for me to plug the old MP designs into it, whilst also allowing for the possibility of introducing new features with which to extend the designs once ported, and to make them look nicer and more interesting than just straight mobile phone game ports. One of my favourites of the old Minotaur games was Gridrunner, which I’d developed in the style of a classic old Namco arcade machine. Of course I didn’t think that just straight porting them over would cut the mustard I’d have to be able to make them more interesting in some way and polish up and extend them. But basically those games were languishing and pretty much unavailable to most people.Īt the beginning of the year Giles was working on the Tempest ports, and I was in need of something to do myself, and I thought it might be nice to somehow maybe resurrect some of those old mobile games, rescue them and bring them to actually viable platforms. Some of the games were ported to Android, and indeed free versions of those are available elsewhere on this site. Over time the games became nonviable on iOS as Apple decided that nobody would be able to run older games on newer versions of their OS, and we had neither the hardware nor the inclination to invest any more time in updating them, and anyway I had no intent of going back to mobile at all any time soon unless someone was to pay me handsomely in advance to do so. Although those two years ended up being the worst of my entire career, the games themselves werre actually pretty decent little things, and garnered good reviews wherever such things were published. The Minotaur Project games were a series of 9 games I did during the two awful years I worked on mobile phone games. Just in case anyone is wondering what Minotaur Arcade is and how it relates to the old Minotaur Project mobile phone games, well, I shall explain. We do have MAv1 also working on PS4/PSVR but the Steam version is likely to be first out as it won’t have to pass through the release bureaucracy at Sony. Both things are nigh on complete and just await final plumbing in to the Steam online leaderboards/achievements stuff and that will be happening over the next few weeks. And having finally finished that we’re working to put final touches to two projects that have been nearly complete for a few months now – Polybius for PC/Oculus Rift, and Minotaur Arcade Vol. Of course we’ve completed the ports of Tempest 4000, which is finally out on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. ![]() I know I don’t post on here that much, I guess because these days just about the only social media thing I bother with is Twitter and my Morning Sheep Time periscopes, but I thought it’d be cool to do an update talking about some of what we have been up to since Polybius came out. “We get a lot of Irish tourists to Boston who stop for a pint at the Rose before heading off to the airport,” Wilson says. Wilson says that people from Ireland know about one or two pubs in each American city, and the Black Rose is on everyone’s list. Paul Wilson of Dublin, the operations manager for the company, has worked there for twenty-two years, starting out as a doorman at the Purple Shamrock. Sweeney still works for the company in a management capacity. Glynn, who emigrated from County Galway to Boston some sixty years ago.Īll of P.J.’s children – Michael, Christine, Neil, Brendan and Kelly – are involved in the company, which also owns the Purple Shamrock, Hurricane O’Reilly’s, Jose McIntyre’s, Coogan’s in downtown, Dillon’s in the Back Bay and Cleary’s and Brownstown in the South End. Today the pub is owned and operated by the Glynn Hospitality Group, a family-owned restaurant business started by P.J. The Boston Business Journal called the Black Rose “the elder, but still vibrant, statesman of the Irish pub scene in Boston.” It has been cited as one of the best pubs in America, and consistently one of Boston’s best pubs. For the past thirty-five years, it has been a gathering point for people from all walks of life who appreciate the Rose’s chief ingredients: good atmosphere, good food and beverages, and good music. Indeed, the Rose is more than just another watering hole. And it’s a place where people talk and have good conversations.” “Here there is a sense of conviviality, enhanced by the music. ![]() “When people go into a pub they want to enjoy themselves,” Sweeney explains. ![]() Everyone, it seems, headed there for the same reasons. Then Faneuil Hall opened, and pretty soon tourists started to wander into the Rose. Office workers from the department stores, and college students stopped by. Locals came from Boston’s neighborhoods, and politicians from City Hall, just down the street. We had traditional Irish music every night, poetry readings and pints of Guinness, and pretty soon people started sticking their heads in the door.” “The Rose was the first pub in downtown Boston that was distinctly Irish. “In 1976, the only so-called Irish bars in the big cities in America were neighborhood bars, patronized by Irish immigrants,” Sweeney explains one morning over a cup of coffee at the pub he helped make famous. Thankfully for this Irish-American city, Phil Sweeney and Richard McHugh were on hand to open the Black Rose (Roisin Dubh) Pub at 160 State Street that summer, ushering in an era of Boston Irish pubs that flourish to this day. And Boston was in need of a good Irish pub. Since 2007, Parke has lived in Adelaide with his wife, fellow-photographer, Narelle Autio, and their two young sons.In the summer of 1976, Kevin White was mayor of Boston and Gerald Ford was America’s president.īoston was busy celebrating the nation’s bi-centennial. Parke is the first and only Australian to be elected a full member of the prestigious international photo agency, Magnum, dedicated to humanist documentary photography. Since the late 1990s he has worked as a street photographer and artist, creating several major bodies of work, which have been exhibited in galleries throughout Australia and internationally. ![]() He began his career as a press photographer in Newcastle and Sydney during this period he travelled the world with the Australian cricket team – for five years. Parke was born in Newcastle, New South Wales, in 1971. He eventually distilled his images, and words accumulated over seven years, into a series of artist books which then evolved into The Black Rose exhibition. As with his previous work, he photographed his new series on film, developing his images using conventional methods. ![]() His process of remembering was also stimulated by an email dialogue on the theme of ‘home’ with a group of fellow photographers, as well as through his experiences as a father of two young boys.ĭuring this period Parke made several trips back to his childhood home in Newcastle and undertook two road trips to various parts of Australia. The catalyst for the exhibition was a tragic incident in the artist’s past, which has led Parke to explore universal ideas from a deeply personal perspective – birth, death, love, loss, memory and the passing of time.īetween 20, in an attempt to reclaim memories of his childhood, Parke took thousands of photographs of his surroundings and of everyday objects and wrote down his dreams and observations in diaries.

![]() We will be using a lot of the same code for visualization and callbacks.Īgain I would like to point out an excellent tutorial by Florent Poux, Ph.D. For a step-by-step tutorial on how to install and use Open3D, you can take a look at my previous article “ Python Libraries for Mesh, Point Cloud, and Data Visualization (Part 1)”. Finally, the voxel grids can be also used to subsample point clouds and generate segmentations. which makes it easy to generate 3D meshes from the voxels. The library also has support for a large array of 3D primitives like spheres, cubes, cylinders, etc. It contains excellent tools for generating voxels from both point clouds and meshes. O pen3D is one of the most feature-rich Python libraries for 3D analysis, mesh and point cloud manipulation, and visualization. Open3D result of voxelization with different sizes of voxel grids | Image by the author The only library we will use that has not been previously discussed is pyntcloud, so we will go into more detail about how to install and set it up. If you want to read more on how to create beautiful visualizations using these libraries and many more, you can look at my previous articles on “ Python Libraries for Mesh, Point Cloud, and Data Visualization” (Part 1 and 2). Another library that provides voxelization functionality is Vedo, but after initial tests, I have seen that they are directed towards 3D Volume data, which limits their utilization. ![]() Other smaller libraries like PyVoxelizer, Voxelizer, simple-3dviz, and DepthVisualizer also provide voxelization functions, but they are deemed too limited. I have selected these libraries as they provide relatively straightforward voxelization capabilities, together with built-in solutions for the analysis of the created voxels. ![]() In the article, we will explore the voxelization capabilities of four Python libraries - Open3D, Trimesh, PyVista, and pyntcloud. Finally, generating voxel representation of meshes can be also useful for creating assets for games and simplifying surfaces for simulations. Voxelization is also widely used to process point clouds - subsampling, feature extraction, and occupancy analysis, among others. ![]() The voxelization can just be surface level or throughout the whole mesh/point cloud volume.Įxample of voxelization where the angel statue on the left is transformed into a voxel representation on the right using PyVista | Image by the authorīuilding voxelized representations of meshes and point clouds is an important step in data preprocessing for many deep learning methods. These voxels are left, while all others that do not intersect any points are either discarded or just zeroed out and what we are left with is a sculpted representation of the object. Points in the point cloud or mesh then fall in certain voxels. When a point cloud or mesh is turned into a voxel representation, it is intersected with a voxel grid. Voxels are ordered into voxel grids, which can be seen as the 3D equivalent of the ordered structure of images. But first what is a voxel? The simplest comparison is that a voxel is a 3D pixel. In this article, we will focus on representing 3D data as voxels. For a really good overview of some of these, you can read the informative article by Florent Paux on “ How to represent 3D Data ?”. These are far from all possible 3D data presentations, with others like parametric CAD models, multi-view images, volumes, etc. Unstructured data for 3D deep learning can have different representations: In addition, photogrammetry and Structure from Motion are becoming a normal part of the 3D reconstruction and modeling pipelines, and extracting and manipulating large 3D datasets is becoming a necessity. As new 3D data extraction hardware like depth cameras and LiDARs, is becoming commonplace in CCTVs, cameras, and smartphones more and more people are using the additional dimension that it provides. Examples of voxelization of a point cloud in Open3D - different voxel sizes (left) and construction of a voxel grid (right) | Image by the authorĭeep learning for 3D data is becoming a more and more important part of machine learning and understanding the world around us. |
