The login modal doesn't include a "Log me in every visit" option.

You have to go to the full http://www.getsome.co.nz/forums/index.php?action=login page to do that

www.getsome.co.nz/index.php has no styling :)

Me and Nev have been smashing out a few games.

Anyone around here got access to the Alpha too?

Would be badass to get a few more in for some PWNAGE.

Not sure if list is supposed to be inline:

Clicking subject doesn't navigate to the PM at all.


Quick Reply isn't WYSIWYG as suggested in settings.

It may be just me, but I have not yet found the "Go to latest post" link/button when in subtopics of the main forum.

They exist on the main forum page.

:)

The markup is there, but is just hidden.

Creative Media / Camera n00b LF SLR
« on: April 06, 2013, 08:51:32 pm »
So I'm going to Europe in June.

I will probably find myself taking photos. Hence will be buying a camera.

Mostly in urban areas, with the odd grassy lump of earth. I will be packing relatively lightly, so only want to take one lens with me.

My camera experience includes (but not limited to):
- Random pictures of me on camera phones
- Flies humping on walls (http://iforce.co.nz/i/famg3niz.kwg.jpg)

My experience (sadly?) does not include:
- Cam whoring on /b/
- Instagram-ing pictures of my food

I have no issues with getting a mirror-less system, but I also don't want to look like a hipster.


Budget circa: $1500 for body + lens. The accessories I will not include in the budget, as they are a given

:)

Technology & Hardware / HP to ship Lemons?
« on: February 25, 2013, 02:50:48 pm »


HP has formally announced their entry into the Android tablet space with this, the HP Slate 7. The 7-inch Slate 7 isn't intended to be a high end, bleeding edge tablet, but it is only $169. So, spec wise, what do we get for that low, low price.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
7-inch 1024x600 HFFS display
1.6 GHz dual-core A9 processor
1GB of RAM
8GB on-board storage
microSD card slot
3MP rear camera
VGA front facing camera
Beats Audio
HP ePrint application

General Chat / Whisky/Whiskey
« on: January 17, 2013, 02:53:36 pm »
So I noticed this place does not have a thread dedicated to whisky.

Let's change that.

All things from tasting notes, single malts and 'to water or not to water' should be discussed.

Good purchasing spots in NZ:

Technology & Hardware / To the greatest of developers...
« on: September 03, 2012, 08:51:30 pm »
I issue a challenge.

So for a little personal digital media library database, I want to clean up the names of my media files. I have got myself access to an online movie database, and I am retrieving the corrected title/synopsis/year/rating etc... But because of the wacky naming of some files, it is obviously returning no results.

I will release the application to my peers when it is finished

Some are formatted like this:

Van Wilder Freshman Year.2009.DvdRip.UR.Xvid {1337x}-Noir
Man.on.a.Ledge.2012.PROPER.DVDRip.XviD-SPARKS
The Grey (2012) DVDRip XviD-MAXSPEED

Can anyone think of an almost foolproof way of extracting the name/title of the file, and the year?

Can be in any language.


Year, (not 100% fool proof, but not bad):
Code: [Select]
//Get and remove the year in the filename
Match m = Regex.Match(name, &quot;[0-9]{4}&quot;);
if (m.Success && (m.Value.StartsWith(&quot;19&quot;) || m.Value.StartsWith(&quot;20&quot;)))
{
   year = int.Parse(m.Value);
   fileName = fileName.Replace(m.Value, &quot;&quot;);
}

Title/Keywords (the bit that needs the most attention):
Code: [Select]
//Strips out anything in []
fileName = Regex.Replace(fileName, "\\[.*\\]", "");

//lower it because we don't care yo!
fileName = fileName.ToLower();

//replace commonly used delimiters
fileName = fileName.Replace(".", " ");

//Kill off this bitch
fileName = fileName.Replace("dvdrip", "");

//these are mostly useless
if (fileName.IndexOf("(") > 0)
    fileName = fileName.Substring(0, fileName.IndexOf("("));

//Anything left after a - can die in a hole
if (fileName.IndexOf("-") > 0)
    fileName = fileName.Substring(0, fileName.IndexOf("-"));

//Query my server for an answer
client.GetClosestMatchByTitleKeywords(fileName, year);

I've thought about getting around this in the most elegant of ways, eg. getting google to do my correcting for me, but their search api isn't free :<


EDIT:
Also I should note that I am self caching search queries and results along with manual matches, so it's an almost learning system. The bigger my database gets the more accurate it will become, but I want to start it off as accurate as I can without having to code some AI alogrithm which I CBF with.

If you guys like it. Feel free to pass it on to your friends :P

I will keep the development temporarily open on this for a little while so if you guys have any suggestions/bugs then post in here and I will fix before releasing a final version.

Feature list is likely to stay locked, unless there is something REALLY GOOD that is missing.

Things I may do but, it would require a bit of effort hence may not/probably won't happen:
- Adding scripting/profiles, so a hot key can change more than one device and volume levels etc...
- Adding volume support
- Directx overlay for in game.
- Auto switch device on application launch
