One of the biggest roadblocks to writing code which accesses the Windows API is the fact that so many functions require you to provide data formatted in specific format. This format is defined on MSDN as a C struct, which has no direct representation in PHP. The best you can hope for is to figure out the layout of the structure, and then set up some PACK/UNPACK calls to convert the data to and from something more useful in PHP.
Enter cStruct, a collection of objects that helps provide support for C-like structures. All common data types have been implemented. This will save lots of time as you don’t have to remember or figure out how many bytes each datatype takes up and how to convert it to and from binary data.

The bugs in bcompiler seem to have been worked out since phc-win 0.3.0. Unlike 0.3.0, this release has the standard PHP DLLs (for PHP 5.3.1) and separate Winbinder, win32std and bcompiler DLLs. I’m hoping to be able to get a smaller DLL with all of the required extensions going, but for now this is better than the buggy bcompiler version.

Note to XP users:
You may need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) for EXEs to run correctly.
Note to Windows 2000, 9x Users
Due to a change in 5.3.x series of PHP, phc-win does not work on Windows 2000 or 9x machines. There are no plans to compile a 5.2.x series binary for phc-win. If you cannot upgrade your OS, I recommend using phc-win 0.2.1 which uses PHP 5.0.5.
Check the phc-win category for the latest version.
It’s been quite a while since phc-win was updated due to the difficulty of getting all of the extensions compiled and running with each new version of PHP. Finally I got WinBinder compiled with PHP 5.3.1, and Alec Gorge helped out and compiled some lightweight DLL files to use with phc-win.
The good:
* PHP 5.3.1 compatible
* Program EXEs need only 1 DLL file and no other files to run correctly (if using one of the Alec Gorge compiled DLLs)
* Included DLL is only 2.44 megs
The bad:
* it seems bcompiler has changed since the last update of phc-win. Unfortunately it has introduced an error which causes programs to crash if your PHP code uses constants as default function parameter values. IE function foo ($bar = CONSTANT_VALUE) will cause the a program crash. Other problems may also exist with bcompiler. Because of this I may need to make the bcompilation stage optional.
UPDATE: Bug reports have been submitted to the bcompiler team and they are working on it, so hopefully there will be a resolution to this issue. Update 2: phc-win 0.3.1 is packaged with updated bcompiler dlls.
This version of phc-win has no actual functionality changes from 0.2.1 besides minor tweaks to get things working with php5.3 and working around the bcompiler issues.

AdBlock is the percursor to AdBlock Plus, one of the most popular add-ons for Firefox. Some users, including myself, find AdBlock Plus too bloated and prefer the older AdBlock. This add-on is no longer in the Mozilla database, but is available on download.com and other sites. Unfortunately the default file does not install in Firefox 3.0 or later. A simple modification of the add-on will allow you to use it with FireFox 3.0 and later, so I have modified the add-on and placed it here for download.
This add-on seems to cause issues with some Flash-based sites. AdBlock Plus does not exhibit these issues.

Some of the most powerful utility scripts which are included with Mediawiki can only be run via the command line, usually through a terminal shell. Unfortunately, many ISPs don’t allow terminal shell access, making life hard on MediaWiki admins.
I’ve written an extension for MediaWiki which tricks these maintenance scripts into thinking they are being run via the command line. A form on a special page provides access from the wiki.

I had the need for custom sidebars definable on a per-page basis in MediaWiki, and I didn’t like the current options out there. Luckily MediaWiki 1.14.0 adds a new hook right after the sidebar is generated, making it easy to replace its contents. You can either pull contents from another page or define the menu items on the page itself.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve updated Winter, but recently I discovered how to access content from other pages so perhaps we’ll see some new features. For now, I’ve added #include and #include_raw. #include will include the text from another page and run it through the Winter engine. #include_raw is not run through the Winter engine before being dumped into the page. Wikitext markup is not interpreted during this stage.. if you need the content to be formatted, you should use the #include command within a <winterprewiki> block. I also fixed a few bugs.

I’ve been interested in modifying Nintendo games (the practice is known as “ROM hacking”) for a while, though I’ve never developed my own software from scratch. Recently I had an idea for a project that would require original code, so I needed to learn how to create everything from the ground up.
To write programs for the NES, you have to know or learn assembly for the 6502 microprocessor. This processor was used in a variety of hardware in the 70s and 80s, and by today’s standard, is very simple and is not difficult to learn for those with some programming background. There are are huge number of resources on the 6502 processor available both online and in most libraries. Developing for the Nintendo will also require specific knowledge of the hardware and how to access it.
Once you’ve gotten to the point where you have the desire and ability to develop your own NES programs, ASM6 is a good assembler choice. It was created specifically for NES developers and can export .NES files ready to run in an emulator without the need for a separate linker.
ASM6 is available for download from Loopy’s site. (direct download). Loopy has also provided a basic project file which shows how to use the syntax of ASM6.
Additionally, here is a collection of very useful macros from “Memblers”. Unfortunately these macros aren’t 100% in ASM6 format but the ones that are not can be rewritten.
Just a quick bugfix for Winter.
And since it’s been a while since I posted these links:

In the battle against filesharers, members of the RIAA sometimes hire companies which attempt to disrupt the sharing of copyrighted material. A common tactic to discourage downloaders is to release multiple bogus copies of the media on P2P networks in an attempt to make it difficult to distinguish a good copy from a bad copy. Recently, MediaDefender — a company which provides this file spoofing service — had a large amount of its internal emails leaked by hackers. The emails are now widely available and as you can imagine make for some interesting reading.
One thing that can be gleaned from the emails is that apparently different companies have different tastes in fake mp3s. Here’s how Universal Music Group prefers to have its media processed for P2P networks:
Obnoxious beeps they like. They like stutter drop outs. Volume changes can be added on additionally. They don’t want a hum in the background by itself, but that can be added on. They don’t want the FF-type sounds by themselves.
They want the gain to drop and go up all the time and then beeps or glitches come in.
He wants combined effects more than individual things. I’ll talk to y’all more about this tomorrow.
Randy would like a meeting this afternoon starting between 230 and 300 to discuss our plans are for developing a system that would mass produce and distribute real content filled decoys where the audio/video has been manipulated to the point that it’s annoying to consume media from p2p networks
Of note “Chopped and Screwed” is also a style of hip hop music where the music has been slowed down and occasionally had certain parts of the beat repeated.
