So I was bored, and inspired. I took some time and wrote this nifty little application. It’s written with .NET 2.0 framework. It will display every last piece of information about your system that you could want.

A lot of people have been asking what ever happened to my uStream application. Let me tell you what happened! The .NET Framework is what happened! I started the project using C++ and now rewriting in C# .NET.  I’ve wrote an entire wrapper for the ustream.tv API and thinking about releasing that as a separate library.

The last version I was more worried about snaz and fancy features. This version is more focused on stability and usability. uStreamer sounds a little funny, so I’ve decided to change the name while rewriting the application. iStream seemed like a good choice.

I’ve been working very hard on pushing out a new version of my uStreamer application. You’ll notice that I have removed the old version from the download section.  The new version takes full use of the ustream API.

• User/Channel Search
• Favorites
• Single View w/Resize
• Multi-View (up to 4 streams)
• Twitter Integration
• Retrieve User/Channel Information
• Start Chat (uses default installed IRC client or webchat)

There are limits on daily usage, thanks to ustream! But no worries. I’ve signed up for 10 ustream accounts and received 10 API keys. The keys will be used randomly based on load so that there is never interruption.

I’ve updated my Gravatar source. I am no longer working on the control version. I have focused my attention to a library model. With the library you are able to manipulate the image more then you could with the control. The image is stored in memory as passed as an image. I am working on arrays that will allow you to pass an overload containing a list of emails and return the Gravatar in the given order.

I’ve been working on a few applications were I’ve been using TinyURL a lot. So, I thought I’d create a library for .NET that contains functions for the most popular URL Shorten-er sites.

Function TinyURL
Function TimesURL
Function DoiopURL
Function MemURL
Function DwarfURL
Function SnipURL
Function ShorlURL
Function LoajURL
Function BitlyURL
Function IsGdURL
Function SixURL
Function TightURL
Function UrlXURL
Function YepItURL

Total there are 14 function that all server the same purpose. It’s really a personal preference as to what service you want to use. Each function accepts 1 overload and returns a single String.

Example: 

dim sTest As String = TimesURL(sURL)

The library will be available soon. Any interest in this or ideas please leave a comment.

I was searching Google and found no results for a Captcha control for Windows development. So I thought I’d create one for .NET

Features:

• Case Sensitive Characters
• Change Background/Foreground Color
• Change Font/Font Size
• Verify Captcha Easily

Example Source:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Captcha1.CreateCaptcha()

End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

If Captcha1.VerifyCaptcha(TextBox1.Text) = True Then

MsgBox("OK")

Else

MsgBox("BAD")

End If

End Sub

I’ve updates the GravatarGet page. I’ll be explaining the source code and releasing a major portion of the code. There’s already been over 5,000 downloads and the number is growing everyday. There are reports of bugs and what not, I will address them here.

Default Icon Struct:
I did this so we wouldn’t have to remember the names of the 3 fallback icon sets Gravatar offers.

Rating Struct:
Sure, there are only 4 ratings(G, PG, R, X) but maybe someone don’t know that. So I created a struct for this as well.

Some people are having trouble returning an image into memory. I recommend using MemoryStream for this. You can also attach the Gravatar to a listbox, combobox,textbox and almost any other control applicable.

So check out the Gravatar page and enjoy!
