QtOctave



If you're a mathematician or physicist, you've probably used Matlab. If you, like me, have a strict budget or care about freedom, you've probably also used Octave. One thing you might have noticed about Octave, is that it's command line interface lacks many features compared to the graphical interface of Matlab. That's where QtOctave comes in.

QtOctave is a QT front-end to Octave. It supports, among other things, an overview of variables, functions and files. It also has a built-in editor. All these features make it easier to monitor your calculation and to write programs.

Teeworlds


Yesterday, I was informed about a great game called Teeworlds. It can best be described as a cross breeding of Quake, Worms and Liero. The game is very fast paced and humorous, and I can almost guarantee that you will forget about time whilst playing it.

The game is available for about every operating system. If you run a GNU/Linux distribution, chances are it's already in your package management system. If not, just download the source and compile. Precompiled binaries exist for GNU/Linux(x86 and x86_64), Microsoft Windows(32 bit) and Mac OS X(universal).
