PWM

PWM may refer to:

Science and technology

  • Position weight matrix, a representation in motifs in biological sequences
  • Pulse-width modulation, a technique for encoding information into a signal
  • PWM (window manager), a Unix-based X window manager
  • Other uses

  • Panzerwurfmine, a type German anti-tank hand grenade
  • Portland International Jetport, an airport in the U.S.
  • Professional Wealth Management, a financial magazine
  • Permanent Way Machine, the British Rail Class 97/6 locomotives
  • Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne, the Polish Music Publishing House
  • Ion (window manager)

    In Unix computing, Ion is a tiling and tabbing window manager for the X Window System. It is designed such that it is possible to manage windows using only a keyboard, without needing a mouse. It is the successor of PWM and is written by the same author, Tuomo Valkonen. Since the first release of Ion in the summer 2000, similar alternative window management ideas have begun to show in other new window managers: Larswm, ratpoison, StumpWM, wmii, xmonad and dwm.

    First versions of Ion were released under the Artistic License, Ion2 and the development versions of Ion3 were released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). However, the first release candidate of Ion3 included a license change to a custom license based on the LGPL (specifically modified versions must not use the name ion).

    Since version 2, Ion has been scriptable in Lua.

    As of September 17, 2009, Valkonen states he is unlikely to continue development of Ion by himself.

    The official home page went off-line early 2010.

    Naked Flame

    by: Bbm

    There's a place in my heart where you used to be
    There's a pain, deep inside, don't want the world to see
    Nothing, but emptiness, once there was your caress
    I was touched by your naked flame
    Now, it was hard sometimes, those things that we went through
    But believe me when I'd say, I would never mean to hurt you
    I hold the memory of holding you next to me
    In my arms like a naked flame
    Think it over before you break my heart
    Think it over before the crying starts
    Then we can say goodbye to the tears
    I should have known that this time was a coming
    But if you ever need me, I'll come a running home to you
    There's a place in my dreams where we used to meet
    But there's no one around now, it's just an empty street
    I hold the memory of holding you close to me
    In my arms, like a naked flame
