Nice one, thought I should post it


Dark Sky - Weather Prediction, Reinvented

Minimum Pledge$1
DescriptionWhat Dark Sky is...

1) An accurate short-term weather predictor.

Dark Sky is an app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch that predicts the weather.

Using your precise location, it tells you when it will precipitate and for how long. For example: It might tell you that it will start raining in 8 minutes, with the rain lasting for 15 minutes followed by a 25 minute break.

How is it possible predict the weather down to the minute? What's the catch?

Well, the catch is that it only works over a short period of time: a half hour to an hour in the future. But, as it turns out, this timespan is crucially important. Our lives are filled with short-term outdoor activities: Travelling to and from work, walking the dog, lunch with friends, outdoor sports, etc.

Living Room / Automated site capture
« on: October 29, 2011, 10:28 AM »
Is there a program that can, via an internal browser or perhaps other method, automatically load a site and take a screenshot of it? For example I want to take a screenshot of example.com every day at 3PM.
I am thinking if such a program doesn't exist may be an existing website capture program can be set to do it with an external task scheduler?

Any ideas? :)

Living Room / XP computer, widescreen options
« on: October 22, 2011, 01:23 PM »
Here's a newbie type question   :-\

Have an old XP Dell Dimension 8400 that's humming along for now. Want to use it with a new cheaper monitor, most of the cheaper ones on newegg and other places are listed 1366/768 (1.77) or 1440/900 (1.6). The resolutions available (see screenshot for Radeon specs) are 1280/1024 (1.25) - 1280/800 (1.6) - 1280/768 (1.66) - 1280/720 (1.77) - 1152/864 (1.33) - 1024/768 (1.33) - 800/600 (1.33)

If I can avoid it I don't want to spend anymore for this pc even if it is possible (is it even?) to get a new compatible card.
So with one of those cheaper monitors I will be stuck with using the one or two resolutions that match the ratio or am I off?

Finished Programs / DONE: Pausable timer
« on: October 03, 2011, 05:59 PM »
I am looking for a timer that is pausable. But also has a separate hotkey or button that pastes the current elapsed time (to the second) into an 'internal' or external text editor. After pasting it the focus moves to after the pasted time ready for me to type things. Would be great if it can also paste the current date but that is of course available in text editors so it's not very important.

If this makes sense (?) is it doable? or something like this exists already?

Thanks :)
