Small But Digital - The MidiBus

by Emaux
The MidiBus is a MIDI library for Processing. It provides a quick and simple way to access and interact with installed MIDI system resources. The MidiBus is aimed primarily at real time MIDI applications. The focus is on strong MIDI I/O capabilities and keeping frills to a minimum (e.g. currently no built in sequencer, file read/write, MIDI recording/playback).

Why Johnny Can’t Opt Out: A Usability Evaluation of Tools to Limit Online Behavioral Advertising

by karlcow

We present results of a 45-participant laboratory study investigating the usability of tools to limit online behavioral advertising (OBA).We tested nine tools, including tools that block access to advertising websites, tools that set cookies indicating a user’s preference to opt out of OBA, and privacy tools that are built directly into web browsers. We interviewed participants about OBA, observed their behavior as they installed and used a privacy tool, and recorded their perceptions and attitudes about that tool. We found serious usability flaws in all nine tools we examined. The online opt-out tools were challenging for users to understand and configure. Users tend to be unfamiliar with most advertising companies, and therefore are unable to make meaningful choices. Users liked the fact that the browsers we tested had built-in Do Not Track features, but were wary of whether advertising companies would respect this preference. Users struggled to install and configure blocking lists to make effective use of blocking tools. They often erroneously concluded the tool they were using was blocking OBA when they had not properly configured it to do so.

Distribute Ad Hoc Applications Over the Air (OTA)

by oseres (via)
If you’ve been through the distribution process of an Ad Hoc application, you can appreciate the challenges of getting a build installed on someone’s device. From the differences of working with users on Windows versus Mac machines, to explaining how to import an Ad Hoc provisioning file and the associated build into iTunes, this process is anything but a walk in the park. In this post I’ll take you through the steps of deploying Ad Hoc builds over-the-air, where users simply point the Safari web-browser (on their iPhone) to a link and tap to install the provisioning file and associated application.

The Pragmatic Studio | Installing Ruby 1.9 and Rails 3 on Mac OS X

by oseres (via)
A few weeks before every Pragmatic Studio course, we send out homework to help attendees prepare for the course. The homework includes instructions for getting any required software installed and tested on their laptop, and some recommended reading. Our goal is to make sure that everyone turns up on the first day ready to program. So we try to catch installation problems early and help folks through them. Sending out prep homework ahead of time also means that attendees can begin to experiment on their own. As a result, they often jot down questions to ask during our time together. In a way, our courses start the moment you register. We’re continually updating our homework to take into account new software versions and new ways of doing things. With the topics we teach, there’s never a dull moment. For the Rails Studio in particular, we’ve been teaching Rails 3 for a while now. And although you can use Ruby 1.8.7 with Rails 3, we’re beginning to nudge folks to try Ruby 1.9.2.

What I want for my Mac | Monday Note

by night.kame

As described in a previous Note, I bought the family pack for OS X and iLife updates even though the ‘’single” version can be installed on any number of machines. That alone probably gets me into the lower tier of the Friendly Idiot database somewhere in Apple’s Cloud, but the fact that I also pay $100/yr for MobileMe upgrades me to Platinum status.

C'est là la grande force d'Apple.

by night.kame

Note that such a panic happens in case you move an opensolaris installed /bootable hdd from one computer to another computer with different physicalhardware / device paths; opensolaris won't boot on the new machine; to fix ityou have to boot the new computer from the OpenSolaris LiveCD, and run"zpool import -f rpool". After that the hdd should become bootable in thenew computer.

Top 5 WordPress Security Tips You Most Likely Don’t Follow

by mozkart (via)
1. Don’t use the admin account – The default user account that is created with every installation of WordPress is the admin account. Unfortunately the entire world knows this, including hackers, and can easily launch a dictionary attack on your website to try and guess your password. If a hacker already knows your username that’s half the battle. It’s highly recommended to delete or change the admin account username. 2. Move your wp-config.php file – Did you know since WordPress 2.6 you can move your wp-config.php file outside of your root WordPress directory? Most users don’t know this and the ones that do don’t do it. To do this simply move your wp-config.php file up one directory from your WordPress root. WordPress will automatically look for your config file there if it can’t find it in your root directory. 3. Change the WordPress table prefix – The WordPress table prefix is wp_ by default. You can change this prior to installing WordPress by changing the $table_prefix value in your wp-config.php file. If a hacker is able to exploit your website using SQL Injection, this will make it harder for them to guess your table names and quite possibly keep them from doing SQL Injection at all. If you want to change the table prefix after you have installed WordPress you can use the WP Security Scan plugin to do so. Make sure you take a good backup before doing this though. 4. Use Secret Keys – This is probably the most followed security tip on the list, but still I’m amazed at how many people don’t do this. A secret key is a hashing salt that is used against your password to make it even stronger. Secret keys are set in your wp-config.php file. Simply visit https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1 to have a set of randomly generated secret keys created for you. Copy the 4 secret keys to your wp-config.php file and save. You can add/change these keys at any time, the only thing that will happen is all current WordPress cookies will be invalidated and your users will have to log in again. 5. htaccess lockdown – This is actually my favorite tip from my presentation. Using a .htaccess file you can lockdown your wp-admin directory by IP address. This means only IP addresses you specify can access your admin dashboard URLs. This makes it impossible for anyone else to try and hack your WordPress backend. To do this simply create a file called .htaccess and add the following code to your file, replacing xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your IP address:

Communities Dominate Brands: Lets Understand the Mobile Phone Market, installed base and smartphones vs dumbphones

by karlcow

The world sees sales of 1.37 Billion mobile phones sold in just this past year! Only 22% of all phones sold this year were smartphones. The other 78% were what now is a bit dismissively grouped as 'dumbphones', which includes anything from very high-end featurephones (many non-smartphone featurephones in Japan and South Korea have more features and abilities than the best smartphones known in the rest of the world) to mid-priced phones to the ultra-cheap basic 'Africa phones'.

How to prototype interactive iPad applications in 30 minutes or less using Apple Keynote | Amir Khella

by sbrothier & 2 others
The best product presentations are the ones where less is said and more is shown. Yet most people end up describing their product in bullet points, charts, tables, or boxes and arrows. There are few who take the time to create static wireframes or interactive prototypes, but the challenge is that building and showing a prototype requires you to break the flow of your presentation to switch to a different tool. And we’ve all seen presentations fall apart because a tool is not properly installed or a wireless network is not available.
