I just created a Google Code project for a quick and dirty little app I built, SvnMergeGui. As you may suspect, it’s a GUI to SvnMerge.
It uses ClickOnce for the installation (because it was really easy to do from VisualStudio), and is pointed at the svn repository for updates - so although I’ve never tried it, the theory is that it will have automatic updates built-in. You can download the install files from the project page linked above.
I’ve talked to a few of my friends about the stupidity of the non-contact credit cards (that use RFID) before, but at the time I couldn’t find any practical examples showing that it was actually possible to steal credit card information just by walking past people. Well, now you can watch it in action:
So it’s been a while - almost a year! - since I updated this site, which probably also means no one pays attention anymore, but oh well. I just thought I’d make a little post about a new service I’ve been using over the last couple of days called Jango. It’s basically personalized radio stations, along the lines of Pandora, but it’s a bit more social, and (the biggest thing for me) it works in Canada.
Each user can create a number of stations, and for each of them, you can add artists to it, control how much variety it plays, and rate songs as they play.
An interesting feature is you can search for and play songs on demand - but what happens is it shows songs that are currently playing on other user’s stations, and then tunes you into that station. The song starts at the beginning, but if you continue listening, the next song that plays is determined by the station. In this sense, “stations” are more like dynamic playlists - it’s an interesting concept.
My stations are at: http://www.jango.com/users/3393756. Enjoy!
