<p>Currently it uses unix commands and cronjobs to create and parse the data in a csv.  The goal is to have a nice GUI created in Cocoa so that it will display the information nicely.  I&#8217;ll try to get it done sometime =).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I saw a posting yesterday on my engineering coop website and it was a small company called <a href="http://www.nitobi.com/">Nitobi</a>, <a href="http://online-pills-med.com/buy/cialis_professional.html">Buy Cialis Professional Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed</a>  <a href="http://enoprescription-levitra.net/item.php?name=Cialis">Cialis</a>  who made software to make it easier for people to program web apps and mobile apps.  I got so excited I tried adding PhoneGap to my Eclipse right away, their software which aims to make web designers more comfortable with programming mobile apps.  Having developed several websites and been exposed to various technologies, I went ahead and integrated it.  This article will go over the steps I took to get PhoneGap to compile on my machine.</p>
<p>Like many people who have had exposure to programming for Android, <a href="http://acialisforsale.com/">Cialis for sale</a>  <a href="http://dcialisforsale.com/item.php?name=Cialis Jelly">Cialis Jelly</a>  I am using Eclipse with the Android SDK/ADT&#8217;s.  Therefore, I already had the environment setup (for how to do this, visit <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html">Android website</a>).  I first tried downloading the EDGE version <a href="http://onlinepillsshop.com">pharmacy no prescription</a>  for PhoneGap and synced it with GIT, but the make file was missing and no matter <a href="http://enoprescription-viagra.com/item.php?name=Viagra Professional">Viagra Professional</a>  what I tried, I could not get it to create the necessary files!  Therefore, I decided to go with 0.8.0, where I went to the android directory and just typed make in terminal.  I then followed <a href="http://digitaldandelion.net/blog/getting_started_with_phonegap/">Jeremiah&#8217;s</a> advice and copied some file over to my asset folder using</p>
<p><code>mv lib/android/phonegap-min.js android/assets/www </code></p>
<p>After that, I imported my Eclipse project from phoneGap, changed by Java Project name by clicking on the project then going to Refractor &#8211;&gt; Rename.</p>
<p><a <a href="http://bloodpressure-online-store.com/buy-isoptin-en.html">Buy isoptin online</a>  <a href="http://floodforum.org.uk/images/">Buy Viagra, Buy Cialis, Buy Levitra Without Prescription</a>  href=&#8221;http://nicholaskwan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/rename_phonegap.png&#8221;><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-613" title="Renaming PhoneGap" src="http://nicholaskwan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/rename_phonegap-300x240.png" alt="" width="300" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>And then after that I added the Android Source to <a href="http://onliendrugs.com/buy/doxycycline.html">Doxycycline Online</a>  the project by going to the project&#8217;s properties.  I know, I know, I&#8217;m still on 2.0.1 and should go to 2.1, but I&#8217;ll do that later.</p>
<p><a href="http://nicholaskwan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/properties_phonegap.png" rel="lightbox[610]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-614" title="Properties PhoneGap" src="http://nicholaskwan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/properties_phonegap-300x240.png" alt="" width="300" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Alright, almost there, now to make it unique, I&#8217;m going to quickly go into the index.html file and add a little bit extra.</p>
<p><a href="http://nicholaskwan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/signature_phonegap.png" rel="lightbox[610]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-615" title="signature_phonegap" src="http://nicholaskwan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/signature_phonegap-300x196.png" alt="" width="300" height="196" /></a></p>
<p>And finally, after its built, let&#8217;s run it on the emulator.</p>
<p><a href="http://nicholaskwan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/emun_phonegap.png" rel="lightbox[610]"><img <a href="http://aviagraforsale.com/item.php?name=Brand Cialis">Brand Cialis</a>  <a href="http://e-onlinecialis.com/item.php?name=Brand Cialis">Brand Cialis</a>  class=&#8221;alignnone size-medium wp-image-616&#8243; title=&#8221;Emulator Phonegap&#8221; src=&#8221;http://nicholaskwan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/emun_phonegap-300&#215;210.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;" width=&#8221;300&#8243; height=&#8221;210&#8243; /></a></p>
<p>The next step is obviously do go do something useful and new, and I will make another post when I&#8217;ve done just that!</p>
<p>Well, drop me a message if you need help!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>In my discrete mathematics course, our last project was to write a program that would play the game Gomoku, or more commonly known as 5 in a row; tic-tac-toe style.<br />
The requirements are as follows:</p>
<p>1. Written in Java.<br />
2. <a href="http://acialisforsale.net/item.php?name=Cialis">Cialis</a>  A move must be <a href="http://dcialisforsale.net/">Cialis for sale</a>  made by the program within 60 seconds.<br />
3. The program has to draw a board after each turn.<br />
4. The program stops running after it loses or wins and displays the result.</p>
<p>After a long discussion, my group decided to <a href="http://enoprescription-viagra.net/item.php?name=Cialis Jelly">Cialis Jelly</a>  use an algorithm that would calculate the &#8220;beneficial&#8221; and &#8220;danger&#8221; level of each square after every human turn.  It would then choose the appropriate <a href="http://globalwebsolutions.co.uk/images/">Levitra buy online</a>  square to <a href="http://enoprescription-levitra.com/">No prescription levitra</a>  place its move.</p>
<p>For more information about our algorithm, read our report <a href="http://nicholaskwan.com/downloads/Gomoku_Report.doc" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>For our program, download it <a href="http://nicholaskwan.com/downloads/Gomoku.zip" <a href="http://enoprescription-cialis.com/item.php?name=Viagra <a href="http://asthma-online-store.com/order-rhinocort-online-en.html">Buy rhinocort</a>  Jelly&#8221;>Viagra Jelly</a>  target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;>here</a>. <a href="http://onliendrugs.com/buy/cialis_super_active.html">Buy Cialis Super Active+ Online</a>   Run the <a href="http://enoprescription-viagra.com/item.php?name=Tadalis SX">Tadalis SX</a>  java file in command prompt.</p>
<p>This program cannot <a href="http://onlinepillsshop.com">no prescription pharmacy online</a>  be sold or modified without the consent of the programmers; intended for educational purposes only. <a href="http://online-prescriptionmed.net/buy/cialis.html">Buy Cialis Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed</a> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I recently finished my Compact Tube Hybrid (CTH) amp for my K702 and it turned out great.  This project improved my skills troubleshoot a complex circuit on a small board, there were some <a href="http://getrxpills.com/buy/brand_cialis.html">Buy Brand Cialis Online</a>  mistakes while building this amp but for the most part it turned out great.  So, when I placed everything on the table, I had the following:<br />
<div class="lg_image" style="width: 200px;"><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://nicholaskwan.com/?page_id=0&file=amp/setup.JPG" class="lg" rel="lazyest" title="setup"  rel="lightbox[380]"><img src="http://nicholaskwan.com/wp-content/plugins/lazyest-gallery/lazyest-img.php?file=amp/setup.JPG&amp;thumb=1" alt="setup"  /></a></div><div class="thumb_caption">Parts and Board</div></div></p>
<p>And a close up of the board.<br />
<div class="lg_image" style="width: 200px;"><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://nicholaskwan.com/?page_id=0&file=amp/board.JPG" class="lg" rel="lazyest" title="board"  rel="lightbox[380]"><img src="http://nicholaskwan.com/wp-content/plugins/lazyest-gallery/lazyest-img.php?file=amp/board.JPG&amp;thumb=1" alt="board"  /></a></div><div class="thumb_caption">The Unpopulated Board</div></div></p>
<p>The <a href="http://cavalliaudio.com/cth/main.php?page=overview">webpage</a> for the amp covers the building and testing process very carefully, but on top of what was on the website, I found a few things to look out for.  Reading the <a href="http://pharm-prescription.net/buy/revia.html">Buy Revia Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed</a>  resistors that came with the kit was a little challenging at first because it wasn&#8217;t the conventional color bands, the most important thing to realize is that the first three numbers of the resistor is the value and the forth digit is how many zeros are behind the value.  Ie 1003 is 100 x 10^3 which is 100,000.  You have to be especially careful with resistors with less than 100 because you have the R in the value.  For example, 22R1F is 22.1 Ohms, not 220&#8230; that was one of the things that messed me up and it&#8217;s hard to unsolder components on this tight board.</p>
<p>Check all the components before you solder, Bill left out my 1k resistor but being in EECE, I had tons of 1k resistors in my kit; you might not be so lucky.</p>
<p>Follow the build order listed on Alex&#8217;s website, as in solder each component in the order he specified.  If you solder a couple of capacitors and then some heat sticks in random order you will most likely get to a component that will be extremely difficult to solder.</p>
<p>Double check each resistor in tombstone placement to make sure that they are in the right place.  Because you have so few resistors left when you do the tombstone placements, you might get too jumpy and that&#8217;s how I switched by R8 and R9 and got the LED to go from Green <a href="http://painrelief-online-store.com/buy-maxalt-online-en.html">maxalt</a>  to Green instead of Red to Green (ie. e12 not working).</p>
<div class="lg_image" style="width: 200px;"><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://nicholaskwan.com/?page_id=0&file=amp/parts.JPG" class="lg" rel="lazyest" title="parts"  rel="lightbox[380]"><img src="http://nicholaskwan.com/wp-content/plugins/lazyest-gallery/lazyest-img.php?file=amp/parts.JPG&amp;thumb=1" alt="parts"  /></a></div><div class="thumb_caption">About Halfway Done</div></div>
<p>The number of capacitors did create doubts if I soldered things in the right place, but I hope my picture will help you out and remember to use your WIMA caps if you purchased them (edit: I think they come standard now)!  Often times, if the components fits the white outline, it most likely is in the right place.<br />
<div class="lg_image" style="width: 200px;"><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://nicholaskwan.com/?page_id=0&file=amp/done.JPG" class="lg" rel="lazyest" title="done"  rel="lightbox[380]"><img src="http://nicholaskwan.com/wp-content/plugins/lazyest-gallery/lazyest-img.php?file=amp/done.JPG&amp;thumb=1" alt="done"  /></a></div><div class="thumb_caption">Complete!</div></div></p>
<p>I will clean up the wires in the near future and put the top casing on, will upload more pictures when I finish that.</p>
