Winamp Remote Play item in Media Library

If you don't see the Remote Media element in your Media Library, if it simply doesn't show... U're probably swearing and cursing Winamp, naturally. Where the hell is Remote Media?!?!

To make it appear, however, simply download this file [ml_orb.dll] and copy it in your Winamp Plugins folder! (i.e. C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins)

Next time you open Winamp you'll see the Remote Media link. As you see this is completely separate from the Winamp Remote installation.

NYC, NJ and other Tri-State train maps (Google Map)

Im building a NJT (New Jersey Transit) train, PATH, light rail + other, Amtrack, MTA Metro North and LIRR around NYC in my search for places to rent nearby the city at better prices.




See NJ Trains around NYC in a larger map

I can't believe noone did this before! I mean, Google Maps has the stations but not the lines chowing how they connect, as it does have for the MTA subway.

I also have a MTA subway map showing only express lines 3 stops away from Manhattan Penn Station, since this is where most trains arrive at in New York City:

sqlalchemy ProgrammingError can't adapt type numpy.float64 - Python troubleshooting

Are you getting a

sqlalchemy.exc.ProgrammingError: (ProgrammingError) can't adapt type 'numpy.float64'

???

It's because psycopg (psycopg2) - which is used inherently by SQL Alchemy but if you're just dealing directly with alchemy you might not know this - has no idea how to make the numpy.core.numerictypes.float64 (complete type path: another thing they don't tell you) a string for SQL querying.

Simple solution, add:

# solution by Jorge Orpinel found at rehalcon.blogspotcom
import numpy
from psycopg2.extensions import register_adapter, AsIs
def addapt_numpy_float64(numpy_float64):
  return AsIs(numpy_float64)
register_adapter(numpy.float64, addapt_numpy_float64)

somewhere in the program.

surveysavvy sucks

Survey Savvy Review: It Sucks!

Its this website where you fill those surveys and they give you like $1 dollar for the whole thing that will probably take you like an hour to complete.

The worst part is that theyre a bunch of tricky bastards, in every survey there is a "screening" part where your eligibility is decided however now a days the whole survey is a screening apparently and surveysavvy doesn't care that the survey makers are taking advantage of the fillers by screening them out at the very end after much work just because they didn't match the criteria.

Ant this is supposed to be the best survey website... My advise: just get a job

Max/MSP vs. PD vs SuperCollider vs ChucK vs JSyn/JMSL

That's right I' trying to compare them all. Feel free to make your comments.

Max/MSP/Jitter
Pure Data, PD anywhere
JSys/JSML + Wire
SuperCollider
ChucK


Who else could compete?

Reaktor?
