Yesterday, myself and Keylee released a new website; iTunesTweet.com which is a portal to our new project!

So what is iTunesTweet and why does it need a website? Well… I’m not giving the whole plan away, but in the near future, we’ll be doing more than just tweeting your songs! Damn, I just gave away its most prominent feature!

Yes that’s right! iTunesTweet sends a tweet to Twitter when you’re playing a song through iTunes! You can check out the search results for our tag, #iTunesTweet.

Some people would call it spam, but then people run aggregators and such every few minutes, this is nothing different, only displaying your song. To minimize the amount of spam that could be made by people, we also added a timer into the code. A song is only tweeted after it has been played for 10 or more seconds.

Currently, there is no integration with the security that Twitter use, oAuth, this means that every tweet will be “by API”. This will be fixed once I start converting the language to something more efficient or… Find a way of implementing oAuth into the language we’re using now.

As of now, iTunesTweet is Windows only, however we do have plans in place to start developing an OSX version as soon as oAuth integration has been completed in the current version. A public download will be available in the next week or so, but don’t worry it’ll be worth the wait! I’m working for hours a day, fixing small bugs, improving performance and making sure everything is working as it should!

So what are you waiting for? Visit our website now!

Someone just asked how to unzip/unrar a RAR file in AutoIt – read it here. So the answer is quite simple, here is a transcript of my reply to the original poster.
Download unrar.exe into your script directory.

Add this function to your code:

Func _Extract($sArchive, $sLocation)
 $myExtract = Run(@ScriptDir & "\UnRAR.exe x " & $sArchive & " " & $sLocation, @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE, 0x2)
 While 1
 $extLine = StdoutRead($myExtract)
 If @error Then
 ExitLoop
 EndIf
 WEnd
EndFunc

Also, this function is written by me, for AutoAV (making it easier to search for now )

In light of Christmas (belated but who cares), I released the source to my ever popular application, RAMPro. Since I released V2.3 a week and a half ago, I have had over 700 downloads and dozens of emails of either thanks or suggestions!

So I released the source to RAMPro on the AutoIt Forums (AutoIt being the language it is made in). The open release also includes a brand new feature; CPU monitoring!

Although I’m unsure as to whether the usage image (shown as green) should be used at all, as it takes more time to execute those functions?

I also have plans to port RAMPro into a more suitable language for its job. Perhaps C# as to use the multi-threading functions, allowing the Free RAM functions to execute without interrupts from other code.

The open release is available here.

Today (finally) I am releasing RAMPro 2.3 the fastest way to speed up your system! I should have released this last week however a few suggestions popped up which encouraged me to hold back and ensure that they were implemented.

After a weeks testing on several machines and working environments, I’m pleased to announce RAMPro 2.3! The best way to clean out un-used memory on your system, speeding it up and minimizing the chances of a crash!

OK… Well, what’s new?

The biggest feature is the Auto Enable on start up. This feature was available in 2.1, although it wasn’t a great feature. RAMPro ran at start up but that was it, you’d have to enable free memory yourself. In 2.3 Auto Enable is enabled for you and RAMPro starts minimized so you can get straight to whatever you’re doing! For those who are interested, the shortcut in the Start up folder is given an argument; -AUTEN so that it performs the actions mentioned just.

For new features, that is it, but it really is a useful one! Now to fixes.

In Version 2, I added the colour blocks to the lists so that you could quickly see whether your RAM usage was good or bad. However, I made a mistake in the maths so that it would always be Bad or OK, never Good. I’ve fixed the code for this and it seems to be working well. – Thanks to Sam for spotting this bug.

I’d also like to take a paragraph to thank Ollie and Mat for their continuous support and testing. They constantly use it at college (very slow system) and will always tell me about problems and features they’d like to see implemented. Mat and I spent a few hours and restarts testing the start up feature whilst I was adding the -AUTEN argument. So a big thank you to them and Sam!

Anyway, to the download. I’ve supplied this release in both RAR and ZIP format!

Download: RAR | ZIP

Note: Unless any bugs are found, this will be one of the last updates to RAMPro – until I re-code it in another language to increase the speed of it further.

Yesterday I posted a unique post at jTutorials.co.cc which describes some of the new features that jQuery 1.4 will include. Within a few hours, it was re-tweeted round Twitter and had over 600 views in only a couple of hours!

Since the beginning of JavaScript, developers have continually had to copy out dozens of lines just to perform simple actions. However since the release of jQuery and other JavaScript libraries, developers have been able to write fast and attractive code with little code, constantly improving the way we use the web today.
On top of all of the great features jQuery already provides developers, the next major release of jQuery, 1.4 will improve the functionality and speed even further. In this special news post we look into the future and talk about the new features that jQuery 1.4 will include!
