Camaras viales en el DF con el iPhone
Feb 3rd
He estado buscando alguna aplicacion decente para ver webcams en tiempo real. No pido mucho… es una simple aplicacion que le da refresh a la pagina cada X segundos. Desde TraffiCamNZ hasta Webcam free, he probado todas y ninguna ha hecho lo que dicen.
Segun estos desarrolladores de App Store, “WATCH WEBCAMS IN REAL TIME” significa “DALE CLICK A LO ESTUPIDO PARA QUE SE ACTUALICE LA INTERFAZ”… no es muy amigable que digamos. Por esto mismo me puse a investigar y cree las siguientes WebApps para el iPhone. Para instalarlas, accesa esta pagina con Mobile Safari y dale Bookmark (el icono de +) y Add to Home Screen; de esta forma podras ejecutarlas como si fuera otra aplicación. Y lo mejor de todo? Son gratis.
UPDATE: Hice una aplicacion nativa para el iPhone que ofrece esta funcionalidad. Esta en $10.00 y cuenta con mas camaras de las que estaban listadas aqui, asi como un sistema de auto-update que nos facilita la vida a todos.
Optimization
Jan 6th
I needed to optimize a function for my neural network. How hard could it be? It’s only one function, and it’s <5 lines at that…
After spawning a huge thread, I’m left to wonder: why didn’t I continue learning ML after my functional languages class? Blargh!

Windows XP Registry Hacks
Sep 25th
I finally graduate in about 2 months. However, much to my dismay, I have to finish my social volunteer work. No, I didn’t do anything weird – it’s just a graduation requisite. I’ve been working at my university’s computer division, so I’ve had to format anywhere between 4 and 15 laptops every day. Yes. Every. Single. Day.
Unfortunately, most of the laptops are Dell C610s – in other words, 1GHz, 256MB RAM and they’re running Windows XP. You can probably tell that it’s very fun to optimize each system. (I’m proud of myself, they run pretty nicely for the low specs they’re sporting…)
With this in mind, I decided to code a .NET 3.5 application (free, of course) that does the job for me and also manages to be fully extensible through the use of a text-based hack database.
If you’re interested in downloading it, give it a go here. Read more if you’re interested in some of the example hacks, as well as the database specification.
iBrainer
Sep 1st
Shameless plug:
iBrainer is now ready for public use. Feel free to give it a try, either on download.com or iBrainer.net
In a nutshell: fix your MP3 collection in a snap. No more Unknown Artist or fixing tags yourself.
I might be biased, but I use it all the time — and I’m loving it!
