Comprehensive file association editor for windows, with focus on usability. Designed for Vista, plays nice with UAC, but most file association stuff can be set as a user preference anyway. I'll be posting a thread in SH/SC for feedback when it's done.

Finally reached a good point with this and released it. But everyone hates the UI (thanks for the feedback  ), so I'm still working on it.I took some suggestions from #cobol and broke up the group boxes into tabs.  And a collapsible group box to add a new file type.

Creating a shell replacement/window organizer/program launcher with xaml/wpf. Mostly a learning project but I have some ideas. At this point pretty much all it does is what Start Search does.   Pictures are boring here's a video: http://factormystic.net/sa/shell%20preview%204.wmv

Here is what's new in my hobby search box/shell replacement/WPF learning vehicle: Quicklaunch shortcuts from your very own quicklaunch directory!  Tab complete directory navigation!  Start search whose results include the directory of the item, handy so you know which uninstaller you're about to launch!  Windows Desktop Search (with query parameters, just like from Explorer or whatever)!  Rudimentary window switcher with pretty DWM live thumbnails!  And a video!

It's all one box. You switch modes with ctrl+arrow, or if you type x:\ or \ it goes to folder navigation. And it's not ready for public consumption yet.

Weekend project: A little Nancy extension which exposes your methods in C# as async calls in Javascript. I really like what Now.js is doing for RPC on Node and want to clone it, so this weekend's task was a fun proof of concept. All you need to do is subclass my thing and write some public methods:  Then in your page, include 'nanio.js' which is emitted by my lib (and JQuery, currently the sole external dependency since I'm not currently interested in rewriting ajax handling)  And then your calls work! Yay!  Todo: rip off the rest of Now.js's features

Factor Mystic posted:Weekend project: A little Nancy extension which exposes your methods in C# as async calls in Javascript (calling it "NanIO") And continuing this weekend, I build up a NanIO project to try out this stack + Appharbor deployment. It's a Chrome userscript which allows you to tag posts, and then on each page all the user's tags show up, crosslinked to the posts where you originally tagged them. Or, at least that's how it will work, right now it just shows them statically. And you can add new tags with the "+ Tag" link. (The dark stylesheet is not part of the project, that's just something else I run.)  And all I needed to implement serverside was the first two methods, which are basically just wrappers for SQL queries (also testing out Dapper.net for fun):  And then glue it together in the userscript (excerpt, to show the simple NanIO call):  90% of the project time this weekend wasn't hacking on NanIO, it was bashing my head against the wall trying to get started with Chrome extensions. It is not at all clear what the right way is to get a remote script in a page. Right now I'm injecting nanio.js and my app.js code directly into the forums' dom via script tag, not in an isolated world, since apparently I can't bring remote scripts into the isolated world (and nanio.js is built/hosted dynamically so it wouldn't be proper to embed it in the extension as content). I could include it in a background.html file, then communicate between the forum page and the background.html via chrome's APIs, but that seemed like a lot of annoying work and I wanted something to show by the end of the weekend.

A screenshot utility I wrote quite awhile ago that I'm in the midst of cleaning up and productizing. (Screenshot of the application... taken with the application... Inception joke, anyone?) Placement on the desktop for some reference:  The goal is a simple, compact interface that creates documentation quality screenshots that look like this:  ...instead of this (which is all too typical on blogs and forums these days):  I've got quite a few features already written, mostly what's left is polish and to move some hardcoded things into the Options window. Here's a video of me demonstrating how you'd use the 1-click upload feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA6JNs5f9Iw

Right... I glossed over a bit there, but the default configuration is to create screenshots with opaque Aero glass, rounded alpha channeled corners, and Aero window shadows. The edit button has a menu to toggle that stuff (except opacity, that's part of the shortcut key config, since it has to happen at the time the image is captured. The rounding and shadowing are automatic post process steps).  Also, it's not just upload to Imgur only, it's just that they have an accessible API to get things testing. In the options configuration you can set up any image upload service that accepts uploads via HTTP POST. Authenticated Imgur (like, uploading only to your own account and not the public service) requires OAuth which I haven't written yet. Your own FTP is also on my todo list. The upload button has a similar menu as the edit button, to retrieve a link for a previously uploaded image, and also the delete link. Currently you supply how those are retrieved from the upload service response via XPath, but that's the way it is mostly because that's how Imgur works, so probably some more work to be done to make that more generic. taqueso posted:This would be great. And a little browser with thumbnails that allows selection of the previously captured shots to put into the clipboard. Yep, the little preview window also allows you to view the other screenshots you've taken, that's the little left/right arrow buttons on the right. The button on the left is the 'heart' action, just a quick way to tag a screenshot as useful. If you're doing a batch of documentation screenshots you're going to be taking a lot and sometimes it's useful just to tag the good on and keep moving. Also, the history is available via the tray icon context menu. All that demonstrated in this video of a slightly earlier version, but that functionality hasn't changed much since I made this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAqXPLLoj-w One of the things I personally like about this utility is how you can set up your own shortcut keys to kick off action chains.   My out of box configuration has 'Print Screen' bound to an action chain that takes an opaque screenshot, applies rounding and shadowing, then pops up the preview window. There's about a dozen predefined actions (including Save, Run external program, etc) that you can compose together with your own shortcut keys if you want, but you don't have to. The default config should be fine for a lot of people. Also you can drag and drop the screenshot from the preview window into a folder somewhere or your browser to upload yourself, or an email or something.

Factor Mystic posted:A screenshot utility I wrote quite awhile ago that I'm in the midst of cleaning up and productizing. Getting closer on this... anyone who wants to give it a go can now try out this build I just deployed (link). It's a ClickOnce installer, which is another aspect of this thing I'm playing with. Some stuff isn't finished but the default configuration should work. Also, I hard coded my Imgur API key until I figure out something else, go hog wild Todo: - Out of box/post install experience - Capture region functionality - Color eyedropper - Better uploading stuff (anyone have any tips for OAuth in a desktop app?) - Documentation - Website - Perhaps revisiting in-app editing, at least cropping and probably also redaction and arrows E: VVV Thanks. There's no metrics/feedback collection yet so I'm blind when it crashes. Minidumps are fine, or also the app spits out a debug log called "report.txt" in %localappdata%\factormystic.net\ProSnap, and if that could be pastebin+PM'd or otherwise sent to me that would be super helpful.

Factor Mystic posted:
More work on this, most visibly region capture (with optional + default region select helper thing):  Minimalist but functional. Since the app doesn't have a single instance limitation yet, I used the region-selecting capability of instance #2 to take this. Again, if anyone wants to try this out, just hit the link I quoted above. Also since last time I added Ctrl + Shift + PrintScreen which takes a great documentation quality screenshot of the current foreground window and directly uploads it to Imgur and copies the link to your clipboard. That functionality has been possible for quite awhile, but now it's in the default out of box configuration. If you're one of the four people who've already downloaded this app all you need to do to update is hit the 'Relaunch to update' menu item on the system tray icon, and it will (should!) silently bring you up to date. Streamlined, no-thought updates are a priority for this app (should be for all desktop apps) and so I'm pleased that that appears to be working.

Sinestro posted:I seriously want to know how that voice recognition works. That part is the easy part. Here's what I came up with yesterday evening: https://gist.github.com/2865139 (though to be fair I'm probably cheating a bit by using the WolframAPI package from nuget). But as you can see, there's no input or output transformation that would truly make it useful. One thing I thought of PDP-1, is that if you haven't already, building a grammar out of tokens from the top 1000 google searches, and/or popular proper nouns would help a lot for this.

I've been thinking it would be cool to set up a collection of D3.js visualizations on my website, and I've just put up the first one. The goal is smaller, more focused charts that I can do more of, for like a gallery. Click through for the animated/interactive version & source code, but here's a screenshot for the thread. I'm pretty happy with it overall but I'm ready to move on to the next one. I will say that 1) I don't really like SVG 2) I REALLY don't like working with SVG text 3) D3.js is very nice for this kind of project. Link

Just like how all the angle values are reversed because in SVG angles increment clockwise, again opposite conventional unit circles. Fixed now

ufarn posted:EDIT: That Animaniacs piece is awesome and something I've wanted to do. How did you go about lining up the timing of the lyrics with the countries? Yep, I hand entered the timings. That was probably the bulk of the labor, actually. That and figuring out a way to avoid timer drift so that the timings stayed in sync with the song. I ended up using a d3 timer to continuously check the audio tag's current time. Theoretically I could set up timings for state capitols, put in a new topojson file with a fixed projection, and then have Wakko's 50 States song. But I'm not really wanting to repeat the timing labor again any time soon.
