General Software Discussion / Re: SilverStripe - Easy to use open source CMS + Framework
« on: July 21, 2012, 05:12 AM »
if you use Microsoft's web platform installer to install SilverStripe CMS be aware it installs as of today, still the older 2.4 version which am sure works fine but things have improved since then. WPI doesn't tell you this in advance :O)

General Software Discussion / SilverStripe - Easy to use open source CMS + Framework
« on: July 20, 2012, 09:33 AM »
Just wanted to recommend SilverStripe CMS and the SilverStripe Framework (previously saphire).  I've tried to bend Wordpress to a CMS role, and have experience developing and maintaining a Drupal, Joomla CMS site and made some sites using CodeIgniter PHP framework (and rolled many from scratch). I tried Squarespace (if you want to spend money).

However SilverStripe is so easy to manage content with. Designers can take an existing template with stylesheets and get a basic working site going within the hour. Developers can use the extensive framework and feature set and expand from there, it's very elegant.

Negatives
At the moment the documentation is not yet up completely up to date with SS 3.0 (released end of june), and you will be googling the API and documentation sites quite a bit in order to piece the various components together. Also I've asked two questions on the forums without reply (although most questions seem to get good responses generally).

Positives
That said, it's used by it's commercial developer to create and maintain sites for major New Zealand's major companies and organisations.
You can drag and drop images into an image field. You can then use Image.SetWidth(300) in your template and it will generate appropriate derivatives. You install one module and it will generate a full REST webservice based on your data. You add a few lines and your list of news items are now also exposed as an RSS feed. etc.

You will see many more sites from me in the future based on this.  :Thmbsup: Is there anyone here that have used it for any projects?

General Software Discussion / Re: recommend audio editor to cut out middle part and still keep pitch
« on: July 05, 2012, 08:33 AM »
Any audio editor can do it, the key is to set a start and end marker (or loop points). Then do a continious playback, zoom in and move the markers slightly left or right until it sounds right. Now you can select and cut out the loop and the rest of the song will sound fine.

Always position the marker on a point exactly on the x axis (centre of the waveform) to avoid clicks appearing due to breaks in the waveform.

It's not any different than Windows 7 really?

There is no button... Nothing is obvious. I'd looked for bash - nada. And you can't browse any of the installed software - or at least not to run it. :(

Living Room / Re: Facebook Changed Everyone’s Email to @Facebook.com; Here’s How to Fix It
« on: June 28, 2012, 03:49 AM »
From Gervase Markham's story:
The email instead goes to my Facebook inbox, and I don't get a notification email to say it's there.
So this is why Facebook introduced it: They want you to go to their site to check for email. They don't want to send the messages to your email and have you interact there, they don't want you to use a search engine to find content, and they don't want you to use forums and instant messages to talk to people. They don't want you ever to get the idea to leave the site.

Finished Programs / Re: SOLVED: Script to send email, but ....
« on: June 28, 2012, 03:09 AM »
According to the SendEmail site,
Q: I'm using the Windows version of sendEmail, and I get the error message "the ordinal 2586 could not be located in the dynamic link libraby LIBEAY32.dll", what do I do?
A: I don't know why this happens, but you can fix it by downloading the "No TLS Support" version of sendEmail. You won't be able to send email through an SMTP server that requires encryption, but it won't give you that error message.

You will have to open the zip, then overwrite the sendEmail.exe file in the NoteMe folder with the one in the zip.

Hope that helps if not, send me an message and I'll help.

General Software Discussion / Re: corrupt index (I think): how to fix?
« on: June 22, 2012, 04:29 AM »
Bad clusters is a sign of problems; I've personally never seen so many. Don't store anything new on that drive, get all important information off that you still scan, don't know what the issue is - but do know you cannot trust anything on that drive. Personally I'd swap it and test it for a week see if the problem is just local to that drive you swapped out. If so bin it.

General Software Discussion / Re: DropBox to drop support for Public folder (no more direct links)
« on: June 18, 2012, 12:04 PM »
If you actually tried to create a link from any file outside the public folder, you will find that yes you can create a link to the file, but it will load the dropbox webpage including a download button to the actual file.

Developer's Corner / Re: Help me think of a small ipad app idea to code
« on: June 15, 2012, 03:51 AM »
Isn't this the worst problem with iOS -- that it can only update one thing at a time? Android/google can update everything constantly, from apps to widgets to schedules, email, calendar, alarms, etc.
-zridling (June 15, 2012, 01:39 AM)
No that's incorrect, have a look at this:
http://speirs.org/bl...os-multitasking.html

Also now you can geofence your location so that your app can do things when you arrive / leave at a certain location (home / work etc).

« on: June 14, 2012, 04:32 AM »
Now you have an ipad feel free to ignore Renegade :P
From what I hear, use Xcode not other frameworks, as you will still have to learn the API's anyway but debugging becomes a lot harder, and other frameworks need to be updated after new OS releases to stay in sync. Apparently in a few days you will get used to the different syntax. Most of the time goes in learning the APIs.

Possible miniapp idea:
Lazy workday clock - A clock that runs slow in the mornings and fast in the afternoon. Always wanted one on the wall, but an interactive one would be fun. Take your time in the morning and finish early.

Good luck, let us know how you get on.

General Software Discussion / WebPage notes
« on: June 14, 2012, 04:16 AM »
Am looking for a service that allows you to annotate pages and see these overlaid on the page. For example for webpages containing installation instructions for wordpress you could open up the annotations of yourself and other people with issues/fixes they encountered whilst installing the page, and you could add your own annotations to read back in case you need to reinstall it.

Currently, I forget about any notes I take locally as they're not linked to the page, my annotations are longer than sticky notes (for which browser plugins exist), and none of these solutions are social - I might find that other people have already solved the issue I am struggling with. I know of StumbleUpon, but it has a completely different aim and therefore different audience. (from what I can see)

Does such a thing exist?

General Software Discussion / Re: In search of ... opinions on code snippet libraries
« on: June 14, 2012, 03:20 AM »
I suspect that's as much a matter of taste as of circumstance.  If you're in a fixed [spatial] position, or can rely upon always having network access, a VCS could work, especially if you're part of a team.  However, if you're solo, hopping around, frequently lack Internet access, then something on a stick would be a bit more tenable.
-barney (June 13, 2012, 11:52 AM)
That's why there is distributed version control. Does not require network access, would fit fine on a stick.
