For one of my course projects, I decided to make a crossplatform network audio streaming server & client. Tired of low quality voice-chat, I decided to make something which delivers a lot better quality – i.e. 2ch 16bit wav.
Probably something which no one will ever need, but recently I came across the need to merge 2 files together.
Let’s say you have 2 files which are supposed to be identical, but each of them is MISSING a chunk from the whole file. An example is that you’re downloading 2 torrent files, one downloaded the 1st half, but the other only has the 2nd half. They both have the same file size, though.
This tool for Win32 will allow you to merge them:

WARNING: I didn’t spend much time on it, so it’s very basic – doesn’t even have an icon or taskbar entry. In fact, it may be buggy and may crash. Who knows?
Noticed that when you’re online and you have a status message, and when your account goes idle, it switches to ‘away’ and either (1) erases your status message, or (2) puts “I’m not here currently” or something along those lines? Here’s the fix (hopefully)!
If you’ve been irritated that pidgin always sends those pesky ‘left conversation’ notifications to your buddies (e.g. they complain that you abandoned them when you closed your chat window), this plugin may solve your problem.
In addition to what I mentioned yesterday, certain things may not be working on the website (e.g. links, pictures, etc), so please extend grace! =)
Finally, a new post! Although, that’s not saying much, because I’m not sure how much this will keep up, as no one will be reading this anyway! I decided to migrate hoongern.ath.cx to blog.graceabundant.com, because not being at home in M’sia and having to manage the server has been a bit of a pain (esp with EXTREMELY SLOW STREAMYX, Windows pains, dying hard drives, dying motherboards, expensive electricity, etc), so I’ve decided to let someone else do that job, and hopefully they do it well!
Anyway, maybe I’ll write more later, but this is just a test post to make sure things are working ok!
So much for me posting stuff. From April 1st until April 22nd, the server was offline when one of its Hard drives died.. Only just got fixed =\
I’ll update more later.
I noticed that for a while after upgrading my ubuntu to 7.10, my ttys (Ctrl+Alt+F1…F6) were not working (just getting blank screens when switching to them), I didn’t bother much about them until now as I didn’t have much time, but I needed to do some tty stuff, so I finally found the solution.
