Here’s how it works: It starts starts the “explosion” and than engages gravity(which is just a theory btw).
In each step the program calculates gravitational acceleration for every object in the “universe” so don’t be surprised if you computer is having a hard time dealing with it(suggestions for optimization are much appreciated).

For running the program you’ll need java 1.6 installed on your computer. If simple double click won’t work, you can try run it with the command “java -jar filename.jar” from the console(if it still wont work, you can try building it from the source or post a comment).
If you want to adjust the settings use number keys or arrow keys for moving around.

Download new optimized version: runnable file 0.1b or source code 0.1b

(Older version: runnable file 0.1a or source 0.1a.)

Are you ready for some fine-tuning?

Watching a TV could be a good choice, but who could resist writing a simple Fibonacci recursion in every programming language that you could think of and measuring the calculation time? I couldn’t.

So here are the results of my very scientific study for Fibonacci 33

Warning: This is 4chan archive so it could contain gross, nude, pornographic, offensive and other unpleasant material. Use it at your own risk.

It’s just quite useful tool for archiving images.

What can it do? Not much really…

• archive images from 4chan or 4chanarchives threads

• list your archive

• manage archive

• and of course browse archive

All you need for running this over 9000 script is server with php support.

To install it just copy files from zip file to your server, change password in “login.php” file, make “imgtemp” folder writable, open page in browser and enjoy.

Be aware that this is a very early version so it can be quite buggy. Post bug reports and feature requests in comments.

Download: 4chan image archiver 0.61 Any Donations will be appreciated

0.61 Follow fixed when using proxy.

0.6 More logical login. Following thread (JS update every 30 seconds) added. Red checkbox if files in folder aren’t renamed. Random is new default index.

0.5 UI bugs fixed. Everything is now sorted by name. Dropdown menu in folder browser.

0.4 Header and footer are now in separate files. More visible error messages.  Absolutely consistent menus. Files and folders are now sorted by name.

0.3 Deleting images while logged in feature added. More consistent menus.

0.2 Display random image feature added.

0.1.2 Bugfix in archiver: Wrong url shown when files are uploaded.

What is Zemanta?

Zemanta is a revolutionary new platform for accelerating on-line content production for any web user. Any user-created text (a blog post, article or web page) is directly “read” by Zemanta, which recognizes all contextual content. Zemanta then combs the web for the most relevant images, smart links, keywords and text, instantly serving these results to the user to enrich and inform their content. What’s more, Zemanta can be deployed on all major content publishing platforms and web browsers through a simple plug-in.

ENZ is very similar. It reads content, tries to find interesting keywords then suggests links and images. It has no smart technology behind, only google parser. Is it better then zemanta? No. But it is quite good for one person’s hobby project.

For now ENZ is only demo, but I’m planing to make a Wordpress plugin.

You can try it out, or download source code.

Wordpress plugin page.

The idea of the plugin is very simple. It generates banner with your blog name and last posts title.

Default style

Style is completely customizable. You can change text font, size, color and position, background color, border and round corners or use your own background image(bg.png). Now you can even use your own logo instead of a blog title.

My banner

New: More options. New default style. A bit nicer source code.

Installation:

• Make sure there is “gd” plugin for php on your server
• Download Banner Generator
• Extract the zipped file to your plugins directory
• Make shure your upload folder is set and writable
• Load your plugins page from the WordPress admin section and click “Activate” to enable the bGen plugin
• Edit bGen settings under “Settings” menu
• Enjoy

Po dolgih mesecih pričakovanj je končno prišla v javnost še ne čisto dokončana verzija googlovega spletnega brskalnika Chrome. Prvi vtisi so fantastični. Zažene se skoraj v trenutku, strani nalaga občutno hitreje kot firefox, poraba pomnilnika pa je primerljiva.

Njavečja razlika se pričakovano pozna pri izvajanju javascript kode.

SunSpider test na moji mašini (ubuntu 9.04, C2D 1.8GHz, 2G rama): Firefox: 4.4s; Chrome: 0.93s.

Celoten test (firefox levo, chrome desno):

Žal ima trenutna različica še kar nekaj pomankljivosti. Med drugim ne zna predvajati flash vsebin, tako da je resnično primerna le za testiranje.

Verjetno že vsi nestrpno pričakujemo končno verzijo, ki naj bi izšla v jeseni.

By the way, izšla je tudi različica za Mac OS X.

Update. Se peacekeeper test.
