I recently had to conduct an interview for a Public Speaking class I am taking. I didn’t have any suitable equipment to record the interview so I had to use my cell phone. After the interview I downloaded the recording to my computer and saw that the file’s name ended with “.amr”. I had never [...]
I found a couple of pretty interesting videos on Youtube showing how people are succeptible to subliminal messages. I’m not sure about the authenticity of what’s demonstrated in the videos but it certainly is an intriguing possibility.
I added to the Downloads section a small Silverlight application I wrote for an Algorithms course I’m taking. It’s basically a visual demonstration of the Delaunay triangulation. My implementation of the algorithm is based on Paul Bourke’s “Efficient Triangulation Algorithm Suitable for Terrain Modelling” and I want to express my gratitude for his great job. [...]

It shows a bunch of interesting facts about the Terms of Service and funding sources of Facebook that certainly caught my attention and made me think if I want to keep on posting real info about myself on such Social Networks. The [...]
I was adding automated mailing lists to the admin panel of Radio AURA’s website when I noticed that the university firewall was blocking email from the server for some reason when I was using PHP’s mail(). Then I decided to use PHPMailer and send the e-mails through Gmail’s SMTP servers but PHPMailer was returning an [...]
I was looking for a flexible and user-friendly CMS to use in a project I am doing for Ardent Interactive. My prime candidate was Wordpress until I was referred to the website of a CMS I had never heard about - Silverstripe.
