Tanner's WebsiteClemson and Ole Miss are currently battling it out in a poll on Southern Living’s website. Out of curiosity I wrote some code to grab this data and graph it to help visualize who is catching up or pulling ahead. Check it out here!
Now that this site has basically turned into ‘herp derp‘ central, I thought I’d post some numbers up regarding downloads. Running this command on my Apache access logs provided me with the download numbers for each browser version (in this case Firefox):
cat access.log | grep xpi | colrm 16 | sort | uniq | wc -l
Note: This method isn’t exactly super precise, it would only count once per IP, but it does the job. It also doesn’t account for other sites like download.com.
As of this post:
Chrome: 4722
Firefox: 2564
Safari: 531
Opera: 278
Update: 7-12-12
Shortly after creating this post I got picked up by Boing Boing, Gizmodo, and Reddit. New numbers:
Chrome: 8026
Firefox: 4025
Safari: 919
Opera: 415
Go Herp Derp!
I got around to fixing some annoying bugs in Herp Derp tonight:
The latest version is available for all browsers and can be downloaded here.
Herp Derp’s had thousands of downloads! Support for different YouTube modes is coming up, as well as a bug fix or two.
I had a minor bug in Herp Derp where the original comments weren’t showing up on pages other than the first – this has been resolved.
It looks like the Safari Developer Certificate stuff got straightened out.
With an Arduino Ethernet, Processing, and a Kinect, I was able to easily create this little demo where hand movement can control a servo. This is just a tiny step in my master plan to create a robot clone so that I don’t have to leave my chair.
The following libraries and drivers made this work and also made it super easy for me to create it:
OpenKinect
Daniel Shiffman’s Processing Kinect Library (he knows his stuff and has great examples on his site)
Arduino Ethernet UDP send / receive string
Servo:
EMAX ES08A Servo
How it works:
