New TLD round-up

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 12:48:59 -0500

A few TLDs are in he works for the domain name system.

.free - "the first" (dot.tk, anybody?) free TLD initiative. some high profile domains will cost, though.

.so - country code TLD for Somalia, will be available for general use

.xxx - possibly the world's most controversial TLD? it is coming back for another round this year.

What do ya'll think? .so's are going to be $10 a year apparently, which ends the long reign of stupidly expensive ccTLDs.

I thought of two vanity domains:

al.so
freedomisnt.free

A Great Experiment With HTML5 - TheWildernessDowntown

Sun, 05 Sep 2010 09:59:50 -0500

I was shocked when i first saw this. I didnt believe that html5 was so powerful. It is just a simple video with interactivity in it. You just need to enter your address and it will make a movie on the based on your location. Using google street view and google maps api, this application makes a great interactive video. This is a must check for any programming fans. Here is the link ---> http://thewildernessdowntown.com [And for best results , view it in Google Chrome]. And dont forget to leave replies here.

iPod Refresh 2010

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 22:52:31 -0500

They added various new features to 3/4 of the iPods this year. The only iPod left untouched was the hard drive based dinosaur iPod Classic.

iPod nano
- Multi-Touch Screen (Wow.)
- Mega-Smaller... Like, wristwatch size now.
- Wallpaper on the homescreen, looks like.
- They kept the radio but took away the relentlessly useless camera.
- Only handles music now, no more movies/videos.

iPod Shuffle
They went back to their 2nd gen model, scrapped the headphone button crap and call it a new model. Wow.

iPod touch

- Retina Display (not bad, actually.)
- Game Center (obviously unnecessary)
- Front Facing and Back Facing Camera
- FaceTime Video Chat (so I guess youcan use the front facing cam as a webcam)
- HD Video Recording (not too shabby.
- a4 Processor (mega RAM improvements, now packs a 512MB beauty under the hood)
- Slimmer than ever. Wow!

That's all, folks. I'm pumped about the iPod touch 4G, but it's quite a bit of money

Five new features for the 2010 iPod Touch 4G

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:03:22 -0500

Apple announced its new iPhone 4 today (which many got a peek at months ago on Gizmodo). The new iPhone is faster, has a longer battery life and lots of new features like a front-facing camera.

All of which got me wondering what we can expect from the fourth-generation iPod Touch when it comes out soon. Apple has unveiled a new iPod Touch each September for the past three years so I think it's reasonable to assume they'll come out with the fourth-generation version this fall.

My first-generation 8GB iPod Touch has seemed sluggish for awhile now and its processor is so slow that the latest iPhone 0S 4.0 -- with neat new features like multitasking -- won't even run on it.

There are some features the existing iPod Touch has that I envy, like a built-in speaker (so I can hear music when I forget my earphones) and a mic (so I can use Skype). But those features have never seemed to quite justify spending $300 for an upgrade, since my existing model still does almost everything I want it to.

All of which got me wondering what it would take for me to upgrade to a new model when the new iPod Touch comes out this September. Interestingly, while some have complained the iPad is nothing more than a big iPod Touch, a lot of my wish list is based on making the Touch more like a smaller iPad. Here's my full wish list:

1. A camera. The iPod Touch's lack of a camera has been one of its most obvious drawbacks compared to the iPhone since Day 1. If the new Touch came out with a camera on the back and the front (for video chats) like the iPhone 4 that would be ideal, but I'd settle for just a single camera on the back so I can take a quick picture or video when I feel like it.

2. Longer battery life. One of the few things that really impressed me about the iPad (and there isn't much) is its crazy-long battery life -- 10 hours of video watching compared to six hours on the Touch. If Apple has figured out a way to power the huge iPad for 10 hours, I don't see why they can't apply the same technology to the Touch.

3. Automatic syncing. Given the iPod Touch has WiFi, I don't see why you still have to plug it into your PC to sync it with iTunes. Even the Zune has wireless syncing, for goodness sakes. I'd also like to see the ability to automatically download all podcasts you subscribe to directly to the Touch instead of having to do them one by one like you do now. I can see why this is limited on the iPhone -- all those downloads could clog the cellular data networks. But I see no reason why it's not available on WiFi.

4. 3G. This is probably the least likely to materialize but I wish the iPod Touch -- like the iPad -- had the ability to access the Internet through 3G cellular networks. I have no interest in buying an iPhone -- the voice and data plans are prohibitive. But every now and then I wish I could access the Internet on my iPod Touch while out of a WiFi zone -- like when I get lost driving and need directions back to the highway, for example. A pricing scheme like the iPad, where you pay by the month without a contract, would be ideal. If you go on a big road trip and want to be able to use the Touch for driving directions, you just sign-up for 3G that month and you're good to go.

5. A price drop. I know, how greedy can I get? I ask for four new features then want to pay less, too? But almost every new version of the iPod Touch or iPhone has come with -- at the very least -- a price drop on some models. It may not be realistic, but this is my wishlist. What would really convince me to upgrade my iPod Touch would be all these new features -- plus at least 16GB of storage -- for $199.

What about you? What features would you like to see on the new iPod Touch?

[C] Little Timer

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 08:41:04 -0500

(This program was posted on another forum, that should not be revealed here, too.)
This is a little timer program I wrote, a clone of sleep (in GNU coreutils) but it displays more information. It uses the same argument format as sleep. It's not really a script (but a program), but there's no more suitable places to post it.
It's untested under any environment other than my Gentoo. It uses a nonstandard sleep() function that may or may not exist in your C library. (It exists in glibc.) And a C99-compliant compiler is required.
For any results that it creates, I'm not liable. (For example, if you overcook your dinner because the timing does not work, you won't get a free lunch from me. )

Code:

// timer.c -- sleep clone with more information displayed

// Richard Grenville

// August 30th, 2010

// License: GPLv3 (or a newer version)

// Tested with gcc 4.4.4 under Gentoo amd64

// vim: ts=4

#include    

#include    

#include    

const char *MSG[] = {

    [0] = "Usage: timer \n"

};

inline void prttime(const long time, const long totaltime) {

    printf("%2ld:%2ld:%2ld (%4.1f%%) left.\n", time / 3600, time % 3600 / 60

            , time % 60, (double) time / totaltime * 100);

}

long argproc(const char *str);

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

    long time, totaltime = 0;

    long i;

    char **argptr, **argend;

    if(1 == argc) {

        fputs(MSG[0], stderr);

        return -1;

    }    

    for(argptr = argv + 1, argend = argv + argc

                ; argptr < argend; argptr++) {

        if((i = argproc(*argptr)) < 0) {

            if(-1 == i)

                fputs(MSG[0], stderr);

            return i;

        }

        totaltime += i;

    }

    time = totaltime;

    while(time-- > 0) {

        // printf("Time: %ld\n", time);

        if(sleep(1))

            return 1;

        prttime(time, totaltime);

    }

    return 0;

}

long argproc(const char *str) {

    char *endptr, **pendptr = &endptr;

    double convval;

    convval = strtod(str, pendptr);

    if('\0' == *endptr) {

        if(convval > LONG_MAX)

            return -2;

        return (long) convval;

    }

    if('\0' != *(endptr + 1))

        return -1;

    switch(*endptr) {

        case 's':    break;

        case 'm':    convval *= 60;

                    break;

        case 'h':    convval *= 3600;

                    break;

        case 'd':    convval *= 3600 * 24;

                    break;

    }

    if(convval > LONG_MAX)

        return -2;

    return (long) convval;

}

This program was originally written since "sleep" in coreutils does not display how much time are left. (Of course, the same feature can be implemented by a shell script, but that's just wasting CPU cycles.) Chances are most Windows users have no need to use them at all, but for *nix users, this is probably occasionally useful.
For the detailed argument format, do $ sleep --help.
