  • php's strip_tags() won't work

    - by Maxime ARNSTAMM
    Hello everyone I'm trying to tweak a tiny bit a wordpress, but i am level 0 in php, so i kinda suck :/ I want to add a custom 'tweet this' button (i know there already is a gazillion of them, i just wanted to do it on my own, for fun) So, i'm trying this : <a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=<?php strip_tags(the_excerpt()) ?>" >tweet this</a> the_excerpt() returns "<p> ... excerpt ... </p>" and the strip_tags function does not strip those <p> tags ! What do i do wrong ? Thanks, and sorry if it is obvious.

  • Run Command in VB.NET

    - by Steven
    What function in Excel simply takes a string parameter and runs the command? It would work just like the OK button in the Start - Run dialog. Dim myCommand as String myCommand = "excel C:\Documents and Settings\JohnDoe\Desktop\test.xls" Run(myCommand)

  • Best practices for parsing HTML from Wikipedia for iPhone viewing?

    - by ivanTheTerrible
    I am building an iPhone Wikipeida game app, that requires modifying the default Wiki HTML a little bit (mostly simplifying the page). So far I am directly downloading the HTML output from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Foo to a python Google App Engine, and then modify its CSS and HTML structure, cache it, and finally output to iPhone. It works but I find this method quite tedious, there must be a better method? Please note that I use App Engine not just for parsing the Wiki, but the game also requires it to keep the stores...etc, hence not a overkill. Also, I would prefer doing all the work with python on App Engine, to keep the iPhone client as thin and mobile as possible (XML on iPhone is a big no fun) Thanks a lot.

  • Where can I find an array of the unassigned Unicode code points for a particular block?

    - by gitparade
    At the moment, I'm writing these arrays by hand. For example, the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A block has an entry in hash like this: my %symbols = ( ... miscellaneous_mathematical_symbols_a => [(0x27C0..0x27CA), 0x27CC, (0x27D0..0x27EF)], ... ) The simpler, 'continuous' array miscellaneous_mathematical_symbols_a => [0x27C0..0x27EF] doesn't work because Unicode blocks have holes in them. For example, there's nothing at 0x27CB. Take a look at the code chart [PDF]. Writing these arrays by hand is tedious, error-prone and a bit fun. And I get the feeling that someone has already tackled this in Perl!

  • How can I save a screenshot directly to a file in Windows?

    - by David
    In Windows XP, one can press Alt-PrintScreen to copy an image of the active window, or Ctrl-PrintScreen to copy an image of the full desktop. This can then be pasted into applications that accept images: Photoshop, Microsoft Word, etc. I'm wondering: Is there a way to save the screenshot directly to a file? Do I really have to open Photoshop simply to paste an image, then save it?

  • Triggering a Gtk+ menu bar on hover

    - by Kazade
    I've writing a Gnome window-switcher applet in PyGtk+ using menu items to represent the different applications running on the desktop. One thing I'd like to do is to activate the menu item under the cursor when I hover over the menubar. I can connect to the 'enter-notify-event' on the menu bar, but I don't know what to when it is triggered. So that's my question, how can I make the submenus of the menu bar open when I hover over their parent items?

  • how to get audio frequency data from a wave file?

    - by potlee
    I want to build a speech recognition engine in ruby. I know i'll never get there, doing it just for fun. I need to get data for the frequencies of the sound stored in a wav file to compare with data i already have of different sounds that i want to recognize. I will write the code in ruby but i dont think there are any libraries for this written in ruby, they would be too slow if there were any anyway. The good thing about ruby is I'll be able to use libraries for .net via IronRuby or Java via Jruby. How can i get the frequency data?

  • F# operator over-loading question

    - by jyoung
    The following code fails in 'Evaluate' with: "This expression was expected to have type Complex but here has type double list" Am I breaking some rule on operator over-loading on '(+)'? Things are OK if I change '(+)' to 'Add'. open Microsoft.FSharp.Math /// real power series [kn; ...; k0] => kn*S^n + ... + k0*S^0 type Powers = double List let (+) (ls:Powers) (rs:Powers) = let rec AddReversed (ls:Powers) (rs:Powers) = match ( ls, rs ) with | ( l::ltail, r::rtail ) -> ( l + r ) :: AddReversed ltail rtail | ([], _) -> rs | (_, []) -> ls ( AddReversed ( ls |> List.rev ) ( rs |> List.rev) ) |> List.rev let Evaluate (ks:Powers) ( value:Complex ) = ks |> List.fold (fun (acc:Complex) (k:double)-> acc * value + Complex.Create(k, 0.0) ) Complex.Zero

  • Put an application window as wallpaper

    - by Bloodsplatter
    I'm looking to put an application window behind all other windows. I was thinking of using .NET 4 and WPF or Silverlight. I don't have any specific drawing code, I just want my application window as my desktop wallpaper while retaining the interactivity (no mucking around with screenshots etc). Is this even possible and if so, how? Edit: I'm using Windows 7 x64.

  • Is there a way to listen for changes in an MySQL database table using Java and JDBC?

    - by adrian7
    I have a number of users which are logged in at a time in my desktop application. They are working on the same table (create, read, update, delete data) so I have to update their views, to reflect changes, every few seconds - currently I am thinking to use a different thread to do that. I am using the MySQL database engine. Is there a way, using JDBC, to listen for changes on a specific table in the database and triggering a Java method only when changes are made?

  • 2D Game: Fast(est) way to find x closest entities for another entity - huge amount of entities, high

    - by Pygmy
    I'm working on a 2D game that has a huge amount of dynamic entities. For fun's sake, let's call them soldiers, and let's say there are 50000 of them (which I just randomly thought up, it might be much more or much less :)). All these soldiers are moving every frame according to rules - think boids / flocking / steering behaviour. For each soldier, to update it's movement I need the X soldiers that are closest to the one I'm processing. What would be the best spatial hierarchy to store them to facilitate calculations like this without too much overhead ? (All entities are updated/moved every frame, so it has to handle dynamic entities very well)

  • When does code bloat start having a noticeable effect on performance?

    - by Kyle
    I am looking to make a hefty shift towards templates in one of my OpenGL projects, mainly for fun and the learning experience. I plan on watching the size of the executable carefully as I do this, to see just how much of the notorious bloat happens. Currently, the size of my Release build is around 580 KB when I favor speed and 440 KB when I favor size. Yes, it's a tiny project, and in fact even if my executable bloats 10 x its size, it's still going to be 5 MB or so, which hardly seems large by today's standards... or is it? This brings me to my question. Is speed proportional to size, or are there leaps and plateaus at certain thresholds, thresholds which I should be aiming to stay below? (And if so, what are the thresholds specifically?)

  • Login screen delay in CentOS 5.4 x64

    - by user208728
    I was happily running my CentOS 5.4 before something bad happened that somehow corrupted the 'nautilus' package. It stopped me from using the default Gnome Desktop. Then I installed (using yum) the KDE and nautilus later on. Now, KDE is running perfectly with one exception that it takes around 10 minutes before showing up the Login Screen and only a blue screen with mouse pointer keeps showing during those 10 minutes. Thanks in Anticipation. Regards, Talal

  • Accurate clock in Erlang

    - by buddhabrot
    I was thinking about how to implement a process that gives the number of discrete intervals in time that occurred since it started. Am I losing accuracy here? How do I implement this without loss of accuracy after a while and after heavy client abuse. I am kind of stumped how to do this in Erlang. -module(clock). -compile([export_all]). start(Time) -> register(clock, spawn(fun() -> tick(Time, 0) end)). stop() -> clock ! stop. tick(Time, Count) -> receive nticks -> io:format("~p ticks have passed since start~n", [Count]) after 0 -> true end, receive stop -> void after Time -> tick(Time, Count + 1) end.
