Apparently I needed to use matlab to execute simple row operations on matrices, and I wasn't going to shell all that money for matlab, and I couldn't compile GNU Octave for some stupid reason, so I created my own app to do simple matrix row operations, with strippers and poker.

It emulates the command line and uses javascript eval (because I didn't want to write a parser and take longer creating this thing than it takes to do my homework.)

I've always got my projects in my head. I have some sort of anxiety knowing they're not finished. This isn't a fun feeling to have especially with long-term projects; the feeling dwells and doesn't actually assist me in finishing any goals. So I wanted to get the projects out of my head and somewhere I can list them.

So I made this little page: [URL]http://new.andrewmcwatters.com/projects[/URL]

My thoughts are that if I have them listed, I can't forget about them completely, but I don't have to keep the thought of "what projects am I actively working on right now?" persistent in my head. I can just forget about it and come back to what things I should or could be working on later.

It's not entirely webdev worthy, but I thought I'd post it just to share what I've been doing, I guess.

I hacked together ideabooq.com one night to serve the same purpose (you can see how completely not fleshed out it is haha)

Of course, I haven't spent much time on it since then and because of that I haven't used it as much as I'd like. I need to make a habit of transferring ideas from my notebooks to it at the end of the day.

You should consider putting a little something something together; I like the idea of a concept logging/tracking site.

It's actually usable right now, you just can't do anything unless you log in/register and I haven't (obviosly) put anthing on the landing page yet. It's not even close to feature complete yet at all, but you can add/tag/view your ideas.

The main motivation was to create something that would not only catalogue your ideas, but also keep old ideas fresh in your head and encourage you to explore them further and expand on them more. I want to make it send a weekly email with a few past ideas, show random ideas in the sidebar on the site when you're logged in, prod you to expand on existing ideas, etc.

Talking about it more is actually making me want to spend a little more time working on it haha. Maybe I'll do that this weekend :)

Whoops, maybe it doesn't work haha. I'll check the error out really quick..

[editline]4th September 2013[/editline]

Should be fixed now :)

[editline]4th September 2013[/editline]

Also, the registration process was working, it was just an issue in the view if you didn't have any ideas created yet, so you won't need to re-register or anything

How do I know you're not going to steal all my billion dollar ideas? :tinfoil:

[KmartSqrl]

[QUOTE=Vietnow;42080743]How do I know you're not going to steal all my billion dollar ideas? :tinfoil:[/QUOTE]

You don't :)

But I have too many ideas of my own and not enough time to actually build all of them so my own stuff will take priority before I steal your ideas!

It's a chrome extension which injects a css file which changes the look of the navbar.
It works completly, only some small visual bugs at the server browser (the thing which scrolls with the page glitchs up to the filters)
Might gonna look into making this bigger if theres enough interrest.

You should have made a note of it on, like, some kind of website that like, helps you keep track of all your ideas!

These are all final projects made exclusively with Dreamweaver CS4, by the way. The directory where all the work is stored is not protected by any password, so you can just go and look at/steal any other student's work at any time. Shame it has so much personal info that I can't post it here!

They totally teach you how to properly make a website in the class. The examples they give you aren't badly designed or anything at all. They teach you how to properly choose color, use margins, not squish images, stuff like that. The problem was everyone was doing the class just to get easy credit or whatever and didn't bother to do quality. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/uoz8Pyj.jpg"]Not saying mine was any better[/URL], but whatever.

They even taught you how to make gifs!

Sounds like my Cert II CI course. Someone tried to make pages by starting each part of the site, like index, about, contact and all that required bull seperately, as in, they didn't base all the pages off of 1 page, they created them all uniquely, and every time you changed page, the whole layout of the website changed, even the colours. I felt like crying.

rickroll style thing with code made from scratch

fun double-prank or metaprank: if you press the Facebook "Like" button it will tell everyone you liked the page Pornography (which explains why it has 2.9k likes when only created yesterday)

I think that's legal

[KmartSqrl]

Added idea reminder emails to [url]http://ideabooq.com[/url]

Also added the ability to add ideas to your account by emailing "[e-mail]" from the email you used to sign up for ideabooq.

If you play around with it at all and have any feedback/feature requests, let me know!

So uh, what if I sent an email from (for example) PHP's mail() and set the from address to the email of a user that signed up?

Might wanna generate a custom email for each user :/

kinda wish I had kept my websites from AIT at school

we were required to do 'web design'

in publisher 2003.

I was hoping it wouldn't end up being an issue, but now that someone's brought it up I've changed it so that each person gets a unique email to send to, which is shown when you are looking at the list of your ideas.

Got round to editing the horrible generated 'SamHTMweb' playlist/request pages and set it to generate some nicer Bootstrap pages instead. (The default pages used tables, horrible clipart GIF images, <b> and <font> tags and the whole page made using tables. :suicide:)

I made a thing using Node and Box2D that shows the currently running processes as tiny balls whose size corresponds to the amount of memory the process is using:

[vid]http://pictures.gabrielecirulli.com/v/balls.webm[/vid]

The balls dropping down from the top are new processes. The balls also automatically resize when the process starts using more memory. When a process dies, you can see the corresponding ball fly out towards the top.

The processes can range from a few kilobytes to a gigabyte, so it'd be impossible to actually set the ball's radius to the exact amount of memory each project uses because you'd get incredibly tiny balls and then some huge ones, so I first tried using a log scale, but the results didn't look very good. I wanted processes that take a lot of space to have a big ball and those that don't take much memory to still have a decent size. This is the formula I used:

The code is also on Github: [URL]https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/procs[/URL]
