Re: SCORE THIS: Constellations

Anthony K. Valley — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 17:07:51 -0000

Here's what I submitted to the contest email.
I only used 8Dio libraries in this manner:
-- 11 tracks of Supercluster for melody/theme and texture.
-- The melody/theme is layered with Liberis
-- Hit and risers come from Terminus, Synphony, and Dark Prophecy.

Re: Will There Ever Be a Left Eye Version of Google Glass? - Glass Diary

Anthony K. Valley — Fri, 10 Jan 2014 18:03:22 -0000

I've wondered if Google was going to create a left-eye version of Glass for a while now. I'm a unique statistic. I'm right-handed but functionally blind in my right-eye. More specifically, the retina in my right eye is underdeveloped from birth and only recognizes blotches of color and blobs for shapes.

Without a version for my left eye which is 20/20 correctable through my contact lens, Glass is not within my reach.

I never did finish my track for Rhythm Studio, but I am working on a Galileo piece that I will post.

Re: First Impressions of Google Wave

Anthony K. Valley — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:31:21 -0000

Daniel, I just saw your post and sent you a Google Wave invitation. It will take a few days before they invite you. Here's some information directly from Google about the Wave invitation process:

"Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with, so please nominate people you would like to add. Keep in mind that this is a preview so it could be a bit rocky at times.

Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.

Happy waving! "

Re: Stammy Script: RSS to Twitter using PHP

Anthony K. Valley — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 14:55:21 -0000

Adam, that's odd... my code doesn't have a colon in it at all... I've placed a text file of this here: http://drop.io/akv_rsstotwitter/

The file is called tw_snippet.txt and it's the same thing as what I posted. Maybe that source file will get you better results.

Re: Stammy Script: RSS to Twitter using PHP

Anthony K. Valley — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 14:50:53 -0000

Monica:

Here's a php snippet to shorten the tweet to 140 characters and an ellipsis symbol (...) between the shortened title and the url:
$status = $title . " " . $tiny_url; if (strlen($status)>140) {$status = substr($title,0,136-strlen($tiny_url)) . "... " . $tiny_url; }

I've also posted this update to a drop that I've created for these changes: http://drop.io/akv_rsstotwitter

Re: Stammy Script: RSS to Twitter using PHP

Anthony K. Valley — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 16:59:19 -0000

Jake/Adam: I just ran into this code today and I'm super excited about it. I modified the script to use bit.ly instead of tinyURL.

You'll have to supply your own bit.ly login and API. I'm also handling the special characters in the titles with urlencode($title).

Below, I left the commented out tinyURL reference in the script so everyone will know where I placed my change.

Here's my bit.ly code:
//$tiny_url = file_get_contents("http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=" . $url); //$status = $title . " " . $tiny_url; $bit_lySource = file_get_contents("http://api.bit.ly/shorten?version=2.0.1&longUrl=".$url."&login=YOUR_BIT.LY_LOGIN_NAME&apiKey=YOUR_BIT.LY_APIKEY&history=1"); preg_match('@"(shortUrl.*)"(.*?)"@i',$bit_lySource, $matches); $bit_ly = $matches[2]; $status = urlencode($title) . " " . $bit_ly;

I'm looking into changing the duplicates issue that I'm seeing with the code. I've also wrapped this into a function and created a loop so that more than one RSS feed is read and posted.

When I get the duplication resolved, I'll post some more code. I haven't written PHP in a long time, so expect some less-than-spectacular, but working results.

Re: BLOCKBUSTER Total Access policy change — eliminates due dates, limits “overclocking” the queue

Anthony K. Valley — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 21:03:31 -0000

Jewels, Good for you!
It's important for Blockbuster customers (and soon-to-be-ex-customers) to
express their disappointment with this service change.

Re: BLOCKBUSTER Total Access policy change — eliminates due dates, limits “overclocking” the queue

Anthony K. Valley — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 17:54:19 -0000

Erica, I left Netflix to join Blockbuster a few years ago because I saw the
value in the return-to-store option. When I moved from an area with the
convenience of a Blockbuster store, I went back to Netflix. My only reason
for being with BB was the ability to return movies to the store, walk out
with a different one, and having another one shipped from my queue.

I agree, this was a dumb move for Blockbuster.

Thanks for commenting!

Re: Dispute over Monkey Repossession – Police Beat

Dude... That is so true. One of my coworkers pointed this monkey repossession dispute out to me and all I could do was drop my head.

Re: Guns in church bill shot down by Arkansas Senate panel

Anthony K. Valley — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 09:37:08 -0000

I was talking to one of my former college roommates about this whole thing and he mentioned something out that we tend to forget about although it's a logical concept. Usually when we are in church, our backs are facing the doors. How would you stop an armed person when you did not have the split-second time to react? Especially if your first clue that there is an incident is the gunfire from the incident? The person with the carry permit trying to return fire to the shooter would have to identify correctly said shoot in the midst of pandemonium and In the close quarters of the building. And that is just part of the practical/logistical reason for not getting into this -- leave the protection services to the trained professionals. Shooting wildlife and protecting innocent lives in distress are completely different disciplines. A carry permit does not prepare you for these circumstances.

Kevin, my pleasure! I had a great three year experience working for ALLTEL around Y2K. Your site is timely and relevant. I still have a lot of friends who are working at Verizon and your site's research helps ease the transition from Verizon to whatever the future holds. Thanks!

SocialWhois has a nice implementation of auto-discovered services. My default tags (from delicious?) took me back in time a number of years. Eeek! Nonetheless, good stuff, here. Lots of potential.

Dominiek was possibly too gracious to point this out, however, this article repeatedly misspells the name of the web application. It is "Kakuteru", correct?
