NoiseStats – Preferintele tale auditive
noisestats.radumicu.info este lucrarea de licenta pe care am sustinut-o (acum ceva timp) in cadrul facultatii de Matematica Informatica Brasov. Este o mini chiar nano clona de last.fm (Audioscrobbler), un serviciu web care iti permite generarea de statistici pe baza preferintelor tale auditive.
Datale sunt colectate prin descarcarea unui plugin care il folosesti impreuna cu player-ul tau preferat (pentru lucrare am folost doar Songbird). In spatele scenei plugin-ul trimite informatiile referitoare la melodiile ascultate catre server, acesta le proceseaza si genereaza statistica.
Ce am facut eu este partea de server care salveaza “statistica” venita de la player si genereaza cateva rapoarte pe baza acestora. Totodata am folosit si alte servicii web pentru a afisa si o poza cu albumul sau formatia/artistul preferat. Pentru ca nu am o baza de date cu toti artistii din lume 
am apelat la musicbrainz.org pentru a valida datele venite de la client. Exemplu statistica pe un user: Stats for TEST
A few days ago I realized that Ubuntu doesn’t have “direct support” for ADSL modems so after long searching and internal tweaking I found a way to make this two work together without any problems.
I tried all these on the latest distribution of Ubuntu as of 17 Sep 2009 wich is 9.04.
Step 1: Download all these files libatm1, br2684ctl, speedtouch_ng – ZIP
Step 2: Install them in the following order:
All the files are in DEB format so there is no need for the terminal just yet (they work as setup exe files in Windows)
1. libatm1 – it should be a new version already in Ubuntu, if this is the case skip the installation
2. br2684ctl
3. speedtouch_ng – Here you will be presented to enter your credentials and some info about your connection. When prompted what connection type to use be very careful to chose PPPOE / ATM then enter your user name (for example 02141xxxxx@SIP1), your password and the values for VPI/VCI (for Romania are 0.35 – google or check your contract for other countries). Also don’t forget to check Connect at startup option here also.
Hehe I got 1$ from http://css-tricks.com/beta-new-snippets-area/ for submitting a tip on how to Absolute Center (Vertical & Horizontal) an Image.
The tip is the one I have told you about in a older post of mine: Center image really quick and easy using CSS.
Anyway great idea from Chris with this one, but I think he should organize and move the page somewhere else.
