Many changes in this month.

I was go to Hacker Dojo. I meet Rob Brown a Javascript hacker, he develop this great tool: Aardvark

function currentTime() {
    currentTime = new Date();
    return {
        year: currentTime.getFullYear(),
        month: currentTime.getMonth() + 1,
        day: currentTime.getDate()
    };
}
 
now = currentTime();
 
if ( ( now.day == 14 ) && ( now.month == 6 ) && ( now.year == 2010 ) ){
    Albertux.prototype.age = 26; // Another year of life.
}

I always like hamburger with fries inside:

Pictures and videos for me:

I’m not EMO!!!

Now I’m working on 2 projects as outsourcing for a moment:

• www.3taps.com
• www.rrripple.com (not more)

I do some stuff from rrripple for free, why calling me ? and asking me to do a specific schedule, but anyway the bugs I discover are here:

Duplicate items (not validation):

Percent go crazy after upload something.

Download Videos:

• Write notes sucks
• rrripple sessions on many browsers without cookies (they only validate remote address)
• Easy to brute force (only you need to write a script and wordlist (password are on md5))

You need VLC to watch this videos

The bugs I discover not watching the source code, only using the application Firefox with firebug and use cURL to show the brute force login and only using the application less than a hour.

But there are good news:

Tech Crunch Review from rrripple.com

My personal comment:

I never work for free, sucks, sucks, sucks.

Library Pics

You know I always follow the rules

My Job for a moment is seeking Job hahahaha XD

And June is almost over but not yet.

More Codes, Hacks and Girls in the next Post.

Processing.js

Processing.js is an open programming language for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions for the web without using Flash or Java applets. Processing.js uses Javascript to draw shapes and manipulate images on the HTML5 Canvas element. The code is light-weight, simple to learn and makes an ideal tool for visualizing data, creating user-interfaces and developing web-based games.

Processing IDE:

Aardvark

Things You Can Do With Aardvark:

• Clean up unwanted banners and surrounding “fluff,” especially prior to printing a page
• See how the page is created, block by block
• View the source code of one or more elements

Convert m4a to mp3

Damn my iPod doesn’t support m4a audio files ( http://support.apple.com/kb/sp27 )

No problem:

sudo apt-get install faad

#!/bin/bash
IFS=$'\t\n'
EXTS=( m4a M4A m4A M4a )
for EXT in ${EXTS[@]};
do
	for f in `find . -name "*.$EXT" -type f`;
	do
		echo "Converting m4a to mp3 ..."
		faad -o - "$f" | lame - "${f%.m4a}.mp3"
		rm $f
	done
done

Yes the script is similar to this resize multiple images

Great tool to edit tags (http://easytag.sourceforge.net/)

sudo apt-get install easytag

May is almost over

Las imagenes / videos fueron tomadas del 7 al 25 de Mayo del 2010.

One day I went to Standord for a interview. But not interview, I do a test on a paper.

I remember some questions:

Howto create a thread on Java?:
http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.lang/BasicThread.html

Thread x = new Thread(); // works

Write a function to sort array of integers (unspecified language):
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_sort.asp

// I do this, but it's wrong, only compare pair of numbers, damn!
// with other "for" works, but doesn't matter now.
// for (n=0; n<myArray.length; n++) {
for (i=0; i<myArray.length; i++) {
	if (MyArray[i] > MyArray[i+1]) {
		swap = MyArray[i];
		MyArray[i] = MyArray[i+1];
		MyArray[i+1] = swap;
	}
}
// }
// The real solution:
function sortNumber(a,b)
{
     return a - b;
}
MyArray.sort(sortNumber);

Other questions about SQL Querys, differences between PHP and Java, REST API , etc.

Reinstall Windows in a HP D530 SFF but I need internet to install some drivers on this computer, so I share the internet connection of my notebook:
