This is a really cool javascript function I found. It will make all of the images on the page spin.

[code]javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName(’img’); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position=’absolute’; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+”px”; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+”px”}R++}setInterval(’A()’,5); void(0);[/code]

Example usage.

Then copy the javascript, and paste it in the address bar. Now hit enter.

Its pretty crazy.

If you hit enter multiple times it speeds up.

Here is a little video.

Wideband Corporation, also popular for their servers and switches, has released a new 3in1 console. The fs[ix] Professional Monitor Console has one 20″ wide screen in the middle, and two 17″ lcds on the sides tilted inward for the maximum coverage.

If your desk looks anything like the one pictured below, than this is the solution for you. With this console there is only one video and power connection. This also means that there will need to be no extra modification to your box. Not even extra video cards.

With the way the console is designed, it will completely engulf your vision. Which would also make it the ultimate gaming monitor. Below is the monitor being used to play a flight simulator. It also comes with software that will allow you to span a image across all three screens to compensate for bezel.

Although this would make a great gaming monitor, it also has it practical uses (not that gaming isn’t practical). How much time have you wasted wading through your open windows or tabs? I know I always have at least 15-20 windows open, being a programmer. You have to have a copy of firefox, project folders, command line, compiler, debugger, the list goes on and on. Wouldn’t it be great if you could have them all open and organized on the different monitors? This console acts as if it was one. You move your mouse to the end of the left screen, and It appears on the middle. So you can have your windows spread out and still have easy access to them.

In conclusion I’m going to say that this is one sweet monitor. From the slick, black metal design, to the user-friendly set-up, this is one monitor I would really like to own.

Did you know is a little program I wrote to generate those tips dialogs from some popular programs. Below is an example.

When you open the program, it asks you for some text, then it will ask you to save it. Its very simple and very fast.

pKiller is just a small app to stop a process from opening, or to close many processes with the same name, and keep it closed.

I wrote this app because the other day I was testing a program I was writing, that involved launching ie. The program got stuck in a loop and launched a million copies of ie which crached my computer.

With this app, you type in the process name, and hit start. Any time it sees that process, it will kill it. When you want it to stop, just hit stop, or just close it.

This is a safe program to have around when you are programming.

Are you on a laptop and always accidentally tap the mousepad. Well I’ve found this really great program that will fix that.

NoStrayClicks by Skrommel disables the mouse while your typing, this way, there will be no stray clicks.

This is a little clip of me typing and clicking the mousepad at the same time. Notice the text goes on fine.

I though this was a cool app and though I would share it.
