Thanks for including at the bottom of the article how to force your browser to enable zoom. Didn't know you could do this!

Picked up Age of Mythology: Extended Edition during the Steam Summer Sale. My friends and I used to play a ton against each other over LAN when we were kids. Now we're all in different states, but multiplayer works really well so that's not a problem!

My situation is I have a Windows machine I game on and don't like rebooting all the time to get into my arch partition. It'd be nice to have a good shell to do some dev work on if I wanted to fix something really quick without rebooting. Right now I just boot up a vm and work on that. Shells I've used in the past (ConEmu, Console 2, Cmder) have all been good, but not good enough.

It's all politics. It's phrased as a "mistake" because anything more would admit to being aware of the fraud, regardless of whether or not that's the case.

Yep, got stuck on that step :P

Decided to go with an Arch Vagrant box (Specifically Arch Linux x86_64 (2013-08) from http://www.vagrantbox.es/). Running into issues with make in Step 5:

drivers/thermal/bcm2835-thermal.c:21:23: fatal error: mach/vcio.h: No such file or directory

Has anyone here run into this issue?

Took forever to find out what Jamendo actually is.

From their Facebook: "Jamendo is the world's #1 platform for free and legal music downloads under Creative Commons licenses. Available in eight languages, the site offers a catalog of over 350,000 tracks/ 60,000 albums/ 50,000 artists!"

And from G+: "The entire catalog is licensed under Creative Commons, allowing artists to publish their music and preserve their rights while providing users the freedom to download it for free."

Started poking around. Here's one chunk of one of the pages at one of the higher resolutions: http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Proxy.ashx?view=arundel_ms_263_...

Looks like the format is:

  http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Proxy.ashx?view=arundel_ms_263_<page_number>_files/<resolution_level>/<column>_<row>.jpg
Pages work in this fashion: f001r, f001v, f002r, f002v, f003r, f003v, ... and ends at f283v.

At resolution 14, columns range from 0 to 33 and rows range from 0 to 24.

Edit: I hacked together a python script to download all images at resolution 14 https://gist.github.com/L1fescape/4761013

Now to figure out how to combine them all...

Found what I believe to be the source files for the Versailles picture: http://www.hyper-photo.com/hyperpano/versailles/panojfr.tile...

I think it's sorted by resolution levels. So for example all photos with l1_#_#.jpg are at the lowest resolution while photos with l5_#_#.jpg are at the highest. The higher the resolution, the more photos at that resolution there will be.

To get a high resolution background of the whole image, you'd take all the splices at a certain resolution and put them together.

Does anyone know if there's an easy way to do this? Thanks!
