spend less phoning more people (and more...)
- Let's start with a smaller one Callwave, that is, just a little widget for Google homepage, yahoo!, vista and apple. It's just works! it's fast and easy: first time need a small registration procedure with a code delivered to your phone, then your msg from callwave will look like coming from your usual number, but i sent a msg with max char allowed by callwave but has been splitted up into 3 sms. they have a free plan up to 5 sms a day but a still struggle for more... meanwhile the people at Callwave are working on a premium version able to send more sms.
- https://zyb.com/ plays a role in the syncing thing, making possible store remotely all contacts, calendar and messages from most Nokia phones. It's useful the ability to add contacts from the web interface and import your Google calendar into Zyb, then sync it with your phone to have your gcal events show up in the standard calendar application in Nokia's phone. U can even send your SMS to a back up service number which take care of all your data and stores everything in your account. Just a complain is the lack of SMS editing and export function, that is, could be useful put down text through the web interface, export and send by the phone; then export as plain text locally as personal archive, but the overall concept and design has been made easy to use and reliable.
- When talking about international calls here I found out many services, some weird, some just to difficult to keep up with, but most of them still require a phone and a computer with network in the nearby the get working; the basic is making international calls cost as local ones. Jajah simply asks u to put in the web interface your number and friend number, click call and wait ringing your phone: still need a computer with network in the nearby. Rebtel instead assign a rebtel number to your contacts, thus using these numbers to call friends and let apply just local fares.
- Next for Skype lovers here a way to stay in touch with your contact there on the run: an interesting app for smart phones named soonr, that by the way sync hard disk content creating an access through mobile client. With Soonr the home computer acts as private phone operator forwarding calls on skype, so needs a computer running skype; pay to phone your skype account from the mobile.
emails, what do they offer?
here a list of JS for Gmail:
- Gmail Macros
- Gmail Colorizer
- Gmail Filter Assistant
- Gmail Header,Navigation and Ads Switcher
- Gmail Customize
Next im gonna talk about anonymous remailer as an option for private anonymous communications; the tools needed are a PGP crypto utility and a public key from a remailer service. First type in your msg and add a header with destination address and encrypt this text with remail public key; then send this encrypted text to the remailer which will take over the email decrypting and sending without any tracks in the header. This way there's lack of replying ability but is the safer method. Otherwise there're Pseudonymous remailer which simply takes away the email address of the sender, gives a pseudonym to
the sender and sends the message to the intended recipient (that can be
answered via that remailer). (source: wikipedia)
next there are not so useful tools but still worth of mention like mailboxes without any password required, that is, public mailboxes handy when not want to put your email in a registration form but still have the ability to check and register. plus it's a smart way to gives away 'your' email to people you don't fully trust, can even think a nick in the very moment you write it down for someone!
Last, whenever wants to keep secrets, as not spreading your mail to not intended fellows, a tool comes in aid: ever heard about Mission:Impossible? hehehe yeah self-destructive email! U set up time count-down like 30 sec then the email when opened by recipient lasts after 30 seconds! firing up through an animated GIF! it works converting text into a GIF hosted by bigstring servers which triggers as u set up. people at bigstring.com offers a way to keep editing ability even on sent emails.

how to send feedback email pressing a keyboard button(WIN)
Introduction
i gonna have up to 3 remote desktop computer that need help desk; therefore im planning to set up a skype network to avoid chatting with slow typing people and then some tool that automate sending by email screen captures through a keyboard shortcut. To manage file sys samba could be enough and work great on both win,mac,linux .
Another option is Remote Desktop System, like VNC and sons; for windows and mac there's and embedded into OS tool the provide such a functionality Microsoft remote Desktop How to's
Create an automate-email feedback shortcut
ok, first of all, need to install an smtp server as service and Microsoft embed this tool in the "Internet information service" packages which is simply intalled through "Add/remove programs" panel -> Add windows components(on the left bar). Then get through set the SMTP server up for granted IP addresses SMTP server set up How to's
Ok now u have the SMTP running and able to get connected only by the local machine(the safer set up).
Here we need a tool to encode email messages with MIME type attachments(i want to send a jpeg with the email) and then a tool that actually carry off the email to the default address(me@example.com) using the SMTP server running on my machine.mpack & bmail -command line tool for DOS-
Assuming to have already Cropper installed(screen capture util), we have to write a batch file called with a keyboard shortcut to automate the whole thingBatch files FAQ
i'll put down the batch very soon to carry out this thread!

C++ compiler(gcc) basic how to's
follows a simple command which compile a c++ source file called 'simple.cpp' which implements elements from the Standard Template Library(STL) ;in fact simple.cpp begins including header '#include' to make use of standard objects, as streaming output and so on.
_command:
gcc simple.cpp -lstdc++ -static -o simple
_explanation:
-l+stdc++ -> '-l' is the prefix for calling libraries followed by the name of the library u want to include(stdc++ in this case);
'-static' tells the compiler to link against the library in static mode(at load time), rather than in dynamic mode(at runtime)
'-o' specify the output file destination(the .exe extension is added by default)
That's all, just as quick reference after months without compiling anything!!!
UPDATE (compiling in WINDOWS environment with Win32 API)
assuming want to compile under windowsXP an indipendent executable linked against standard Microsoft DLL using GCC compiler released with CygWin;
gcc win.cpp -mno-cygwin -lwin32k -o win
_Explanation:
win.cpp -> c++ source file
-m -> hardware models & configuration -> no-cygwin -> dont link against Cygwin API
-l -> options for linking -> win32k -> DLL win32 API
-o -> output file (otherwise output to stream out)
UPDATE (avoiding include the '-lstdc++' option) & (compiling with custom header)
'gcc' command invokes just the frontend of the compiler, but if u need to compile just C++ source files, it's a best practice invoking 'g++' command insted; this way it's no more needed the '-lstdc++' option which is included by default.When splits code in multiple files organized by headers, u need to pass the implementation file to the compiler just before the source file storing the 'main' entry point. Assuming sample.cpp the implementation file, sample_app.cpp the entry point file, the command to pass comes:
g++ sample.cpp sample_app.cpp -o sample

flash in a open environment...
That's getting me bored when i'd got to carry out the basic set up of a ant build file, which implied a basic knowledge of java to take over ant build tool. Well now im able to say i can get on an automated building process through that.
About coding Actionscript, now im studying in depth the Natural Entry point method explained well by the great people at flashant.org
It's simpler since i needn't "static main function" as entry point anymore neither Registration method used before to assimilate the target movieClip to the root(stage),plus im able to load external file through the frame(as a *.fla) provided by *.xml file compiled via swfmill; to get the whole thing done i simply -clip import- the mtasc compiled classes into the swfmill file, therefore:
compile all classes in a file,
then compile the xml with swfmill (keeping in mind to import the classes' swf file into it). It's done!

(02:08-4/15/06) I FIND OUT WHY I CANNOT GET FLASHOUT WORKS
(02:08-4/15/06) I FIND OUT WHY I CANNOT GET FLASHOUT WORKS, CAUSE I NEED TO UPDATE JAVA FROM 1.4 TO 1.5 THEN browsing on flashout website I found a video tutorial about setting up the whole thing
(10:34-4/15/06) i checked the java Virtual Machine(VM) installed and the software development kit included(SDK) and all of them meet the requirements to make FlashOUt working out well but it's not going so. therefore i think of reinstall the whole eclipseIDE which has been installed without the needed care, considering the actual circumstances.
(16:12-4/14/06)Finally i compiled ActionScript code under linux
(16:12-4/14/06)Finally i compiled ActionScript code under linux without ever touch flashIDE i passed this command to mtasc where the "'main" flag seem to be cause of success this way:
mtasc test.as -swf /home/rah/workspace/FlashOS/build/test.swf -cp /usr/local/bin/MTasc/std -main note: "-swf" flag- test.swf is a compiled flash file of your choice used by MTASC to "frame" the class "-cp" flag- class path means path to standard core macromedia classes(choose std or std8 for flashMX or Flash8 respectively) "-main" flag- will automaticaly call static function main once all classes are registered.
I copy the test.as actionscript code as future reference and for its simplicity as example:
* @author rah:test.as */
test {
private var scopeRef:MovieClip;
test(scope:MovieClip){
scopeRef = scope;
scopeRef.createTextField("tf",0,100,100,800,600);
scopeRef.tf.text = "Hello world!!"; }
static function main(){
var test:test = new test(_root); }
(4/13/06)I HAVE ASDT 0.0.8 WORKING ON ECLIPSE 3.1.1
(13:15-4/13/06)working with a free open source flash IDE seems to need enough skills to take over the whole workflow the most important thing is a working flash compiler apart from anything else, therefore im gonna fix this right now
