onion.to Gateway to Tor Hidden Services A Utility That Makes You Master of the Twitterverse You can do a lot more with Twitter than the official Web, mobile and desktop clients allow. To do it, though, you'll need to access Twitter's API — or use a tool that digs deeper into the API than the usual clients. If you're comfortable with a command line interface, or willing to learn how to use one, t gives you simple, fine-grained control over your Twitter stream. The one-letter Ruby gem, t, is written by Erik Michaels-Ober. After you've installed the t gem, you'll need to authorize it. Using t To see all of the commands available via t, just run t help. For example, you can use t to get all of the followers for an account by running t followers username. Many of the commands are mundane operations that you can do with any Twitter client. If you're a command-line diehard, then you might prefer using t for those operations. The most interesting thing about t is that it works well with other *nix commands. You may bump up against arbitrary limits when adding people to lists and such.

The WWW Virtual Library Don’t Know How To Code? Use Scroll Kit To Build Your Next Website So this thing called the Internet makes it easy for pretty much anyone to have a voice and get messages across. The problem is that building beautiful, intuitive websites typically requires some knowledge of code. New York City-based Scroll Kit is trying to change that, with an intuitive web app that allows anyone to build compelling experiences with no background knowledge necessary. Scroll Kit provides users with what’s basically an empty canvas on which they can place anything — text, pictures, whatever — and with one click publish it to the web. Up until now, Scroll Kit has been operating pretty quietly, letting early users create sites and rolling out features to support the product. So far, Scroll Kit users have primarily used the site to build personal websites and web-based birthday or holiday cards to share with friends and family.

Make the Most of Your Dual Monitors If you want multimonitor wallpapers, and have an nVidia card, the nVidia display driver can do it for you. But if you can't, as long as you can make a LARGE bitmap, here's what you do: Create a bitmap as tall as the vertical resolution, and as wide as the horizontal resolution all summed together (i.e., if you have 1280x1024 monitors stacked vertically, your bitmap is going to be 1280x2048, if they're horizontally placed, it's 2560x1024). Now, take the resolution of your primary monitor, and put the first wallpaper from the top left edge. (This applies even if the secondary monitor is to the LEFT of the primary - Windows will use extra wide/tall bitmaps starting from the primary and work down/up as appropriate.). Save the bitmap, and enjoy.

The Basics of C Programming" The previous discussion becomes a little clearer if you understand how memory addresses work in a computer's hardware. If you have not read it already, now would be a good time to read How Bits and Bytes Work to fully understand bits, bytes and words. All computers have memory, also known as RAM (random access memory). float f; This statement says, "Declare a location named f that can hold one floating point value." While you think of the variable f, the computer thinks of a specific address in memory (for example, 248,440). f = 3.14; The compiler might translate that into, "Load the value 3.14 into memory location 248,440." There are, by the way, several interesting side effects to the way your computer treats memory. int i, s[4], t[4], u=0; for (i=0; i<=4; i++) { s[i] = i; t[i] =i; } printf("s:t\n"); for (i=0; i<=4; i++) printf("%d:%d\n", s[i], t[i]); printf("u = %d\n", u); The output that you see from the program will probably look like this: s:t 1:5 2:2 3:3 4:4 5:5 u = 5 s[1000000] = 5;
