Simple Flickr Slideshow Script

Sometime ago, I wanted to do something to show the pictures in a flickr set in a easy way for my websites. I wanted to make a link that would open a small window in the same way as “View as slideshow” in a new window in flickr website. So I decided to build this script.

Math Joke!

This is a simple math joke, I heard this today.
Think with me. 3 Friends go to a pizza place. After eating, they go to pay, and the total is U$30, so each one pays U$10.
The owner of tha pizza place knew the guys, so he told the waiter to give U$5 off to them. The waiter unashamed put U$2 in his pocket and give U$1 to each of the boys.
So, how much do they paid in total? And where is the missing dollar?
Wierd! Please, leave a comment about what you think its the result.

FeedTree: RSS via P2P

FeedTree is a P2P java app that uses distributed bandwidth to push RSS feed content to users faster than traditional newsreaders that poll their feeds on a schedule. A poster describes graphically how it works … which is not to say I fully understand it. But I do understand that speed and timeliness are the payoffs here. Currently the installations process and user interface are rough going; the developers promise improvements. My eyes glazed over reading the command-line and port-massaging requirements to get this thing running, but if such technicalities are up your alley, this looks like an interesting new spin on both P2P and RSS. via [p2pWeblog]

HowTo: External Winamp Control

Nowadays, winamp have full support to keyboard shortcuts. But some time ago, when Winamp didn’t have this feature, I was thinking in a way I could change the music just by pressing one button, it would make things faster and easier to change songs, specially during games. So I decided to make a external control to it. I found one winamp plugin that shows how to configure a external control using the Serial Port, being able to make 4 or 15 buttons control. I decided to make this, step-by-step, how to do it, hope you enjoy.
