Skipped the SSH for now, also the shared folders are in /media/sf[folder-name] on the guest – will be trying again shortly.

In the meantime I installed a desktop version of Linux and the install was much easier – copy and paste works fine – and we were able to get sounds. now installing pd.

linux instructions for Pd: http://puredata.info/docs/faq/debian

After running into huge problems with copy/paste – and no audio, I was able to install 32 bit version of Ubuntu Studio. Audio works fine, but Jack doesn’t run – after a few hours, I’m abandoning this approach and will probably try running linux natively on something.

Searching by image

Using Google’s search by image feature to return similar images

With Google you can search by image. But it gets really interesting when you upload an image that is not available on the internet and look at the set of similar images returned. Or if you use a common image but just view the visually similar results. For example, here is a protein molecule (http://www.kurzweilai.net/images/ferritin.jpg)

Here are similar image results returned by Google.

You can also restrict the results to faces:

A few internet images to try:

Camera images (not on the Internet until they were posted here) These will give more interesting results. For example, the woman with the flower (using face matching) returns images of Erik Prince and Brad Pitt.
