This is a very tiny and simple application I’ve written to teach the basic usage of wxWidgets as an introduction to GUI (Graphical User Interfaces).

Its purpose is just what it’s name says: converting from celsius degrees to fahrenheit degrees (and sideways).

WP-No-Format WordPress Plugin (Prevent HTML Code Formatting/Modification)

Published on July 28, 2009 in Plugins. 34 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , .

For the ones used to work with WordPress editor’s HTML mode and hate when it creates <p>s and reorganize <br/>s on its will (among other things), I’ve made this plugin.

I’ve been searching a lot for this kind of functionality and, since I couldn’t find any plugin which let you decide which parts of the code you’d want to leave “unformatted”, I started to write my own…

WP-No-Format

It’s very simple to use. After activating it, you can just type:

<!-- noformat on -->

on the WordPress editor, just before the part you want to protect, and from that point on, WordPress won’t touch the HTML code you write.

If you want to resume the standard “formatting” you have to type:

<!-- noformat off -->

And that’s all!

GNU GPL v3 WP-No-Format is licensed under the GNU GPL v3 (attached)…

Update (version 1.1): added convert_chars function support. Before, some characters got converted to HTML entities (for example, when writting “&&” appeared as “&#038;&”). [Update recommended]

Here is the change log.

Latest WordPress version tested with: 2.8.4

int nMinutes = (dwMilliseconds/1000/60)%60;
int nHours = (dwMilliseconds/1000/60/60)%24;
int nDays = dwMilliseconds/1000/60/60/24;

char pszStr[256];
sprintf_s(pszStr, 256, "%d days, %d hours, %d minutes and %d seconds", nDays, nHours, nMinutes, nSeconds);

Guitar Trainer

Published on July 25, 2009 in Guitar Tools, Music Tools and Tools. 12 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , .

Guitar Trainer is a program I’ve written to make easier the learning of the position of the different notes in the guitar fretboard. There are lots of features pending to be implemented (including sound, different scales, guessing game by position and by sound, etc.), but it’s quite useful with its current functionality.

Excel random password generator

Sometimes you may have to generate automatically different random passwords. This could be a very easy task if you just had an Excel function like “RandomPassword”, so you could write:

=RandomPassword(8)

And get something like:

Well, this is exactly the idea of the Add-In I’ve made…

If this isn’t what you’re looking for, as an alternative, you can visit the online random password generator.
