Les Paul Encoding

http://www.google.com/logos/2011/lespaul.html

#tune=

The data has the format:


can be 0 or 1. 

If is 0, is 4 bits.

If is 1, is 10 bits.

can be 0 or 1.

If is 0, is 5 bits.

If is 1, is 20 bits.

So, the maximum datagram, word, chunk, or whatever is 32 bits. The smallest chunk is 11 bits.

There are 10 notes. And their values are (lowest note to the highest):
2, 6, 3, 0, 7, 1, 8, 4, 9, 5
do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do, re, mi.

For a monophonic chunk ( is 0), is 4 bits but reversed.
For example, for ti (value is 8 base 10), it is 0001, not 1000.

For a polyphonic chunk ( is 1), is 10 bits. NOT reversed.
For example, for fa, la, do (0, 1, 4 base 10),  it is 1100100000   (index 0, 1, 4 are set).

is always reversed. It could be 5 bits (less than 32) or 20 bits.
Probably the unit is 1/10 milliseconds..

TODO: write a program that actually demonstrates this.

how flash ads get your cookie

A Flash advertisement, hosted on http://ad.com/ad.swf, displayed on http://yoursite.com, can get cookie and send it to ad.com.

Example setup: http://pastehtml.com/view/1dntfa4.html

A swf is hosted on dl.dropbox.com. And it gets document.cookie of pastehtml.com and sends it to dl.dropbox.com.

The swf is using ExternalInterface.call() to execute arbitrary javascript.
This technique is explained here:
http://lcamtuf.blogspot.com/2011/03/other-reason-to-beware-of.html

Code:


So, you can execute arbitrary javascript by passing a string to ExternalInterface.call():

"\\"));    YOUR SCRIPT HERE      }catch(e){}//"" 

And, you can do cross domain xhr using swf (only to the domain where swf is hosted at).

Setting Node properties using SlingPostServlet

SlingPostServlet is handy


To have a multi-value property that has one value, use propname@TypeHint


curl -u admin:admin -F'foo=bar' -F'foo@TypeHint=String[]' http://localhost:8888/some/path


More stuff here: http://www.unc.edu/home/adamc/post-servlet.html


And here's script that lets you set up a test page if you are using Day CQ and ExtJS


#!/bin/bash

if (( $# < 1 ))
then
    echo "Creates /apps/sandbox/*"
    echo "Usage: $0 project_name [host] [cred]"
    echo "ex, $0 test-project localhost:4502 admin:admin"
    exit 1
fi

name="$1"
host="localhost:4502"
cred="admin:admin"

if (( $# >= 2 ))
then
    host="$2"
fi

if (( $# >= 3 ))
then
    cred="$3"
fi

path="/apps/sandbox/$name"
left="http://${host}${path}"
category="sandbox.$name"

function createComponent() {
curl -s -u "$cred" \
    -F'jcr:primaryType=cq:Component' \
    -F"sling:resourceType=$path" \
    "$left" > /dev/null 2>&1

CQ.Ext.onReady(function() {
    //entry point
    CQ.Ext.Msg.alert('Sandbox $name', 'Hello World!');
});

}

ats on windows

to install ats on windows, you need cygwin.

in cygwin you need:

  • g++
  • make
  • gmp
  • maybe automake

then,

cd ats-x.x.x
./configure --prefix=/cygdrive/c/opt/ats
make

before make install, you need to modify Makefile.

  • find install: target
  • quote cd "$(abstopsrcdir)" && ..

and in ~/.bashrc, you need something like:

OPT_DIR=/cygdrive/c/home/opt
export ATSHOME="${OPT_DIR}/ats/lib/ats-anairiats-0.2.2"
export ATSHOMERELOC="ATS-0.2.2"
export PATH="$ATSHOME/bin:$PATH"

and atscc is available

lua readline tab completion

#!/bin/bash

LUA_HOME="$HOME/opt/lua"
LUA_PATH="$LUA_PATH;$LUA_HOME/?.lua" LUA_CPATH="$LUA_CPATH;$LUA_HOME/?.so" "$LUA_HOME/bin/lua" -lreadline -lcomplete $*

where readline and complete are from  http://lua-users.org/wiki/CompleteWithReadline

use readline.c and complete.lua. You don't have to patch lua.c.

read http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-package.loaders to know how to use LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH. question mark (?) in LUA_PATH or LUA_CPATH is replaced with foo when you do require("foo"). And, when you do require("foo.bar"),  it searches for foo/bar.lua or foo/bar.so if LUA_(C)PATH.
