I've never done any GUI stuff, so this is a learning experience for me, but... Work-in-progess. App lets you change active sound devices in Windows 7 via hotkey, tray icon, or maybe a desktop gadget.

Cryolite posted:What GUI framework are you using? I started out writing this in python because I like python. Unfortunately I discovered that GUI programming with python on Windows 7 is poo poo. To quote myself: Thermopyle in the Python thread posted:The state of Python GUI frameworks for Windows (especially for a GUI noob) is frustrating. So, since I was already using the COM bindings to AutoIT in Python via win32com.client to automate some stuff in Windows I decided to give AutoIT's GUI tools a try and have been just chugging along with that. Scaevolus posted:You could simplify the "Device Type" column into Play/Record (Green Triangle/Red Circle) icons. Great idea, thanks!

computers posted:Have you tried PyQt? Admittedly my only Qt experience is C++, but Qt apps look great on Windows, and PyQt is fairly mature and well supported. SavageMessiah posted:Pyside has the same benefit, it's basically pyqt but with a more liberal license (LGPL) and a nicer api. There's a snippet for loading a qt designer form file on the wiki. Yeah, I wanted the LGPL licence. You can't get introspection on PySide on Windows yet, so I didn't use it because I get irrationally irritated when I can't use the latest versions of something.

Suspicious Dish posted:Yeah, I tend to use ZScreen, which is, admittedly, a little too fancy, but it takes high-quality screenshots (shadows and no "behind windows" thing) and automatically uploads them to imgur or saves them to a file or 20 other things. I used ZScreen and just switched to their simpler ZUploader the other day. It's quite powerful and amazing. Like you say you can upload to a ton of services (including FTP) and it also does right-click uploading on graphic or whatever kind of files in Explorer. Anyway...

steckles posted:The sides of the glasses are 1.5-2mm thick and the glass-liquid interface is handled correctly. The glass in the bulb is .1mm thick. This is perhaps a bit thicker than in real life, but it's necessary to avoid numerical precision issues. I think these are great. How come the water in the glass looks like it's wider than the glass itself? My first thought was that the water, instead of stopping at the interior surface of the glass was stopping at the exterior surface, but on looking closer it certainly seems it comes a little bit further than that...

I've installed 1-wire digital temperature sensors throughout my house. I'm going to be hooking servos up to all the HVAC registers. All hooked up to an old laptop running Ubuntu which is going to be running an application I'm writing in Python to control the temperature on a per-room basis. I've also got several IP cameras, humidity sensors, and other stuff and I'm going to all integrate it into a home page for our house. But anyway, all I've got going now is some python+rrdtool graphing the data.

Kallikrates posted:Are you concerned with the noise of servos constantly opening and closing grates at all hours of the day? Or is the servo nested deep enough inside the vent to muffle the noise? Spread the motion of opening/closing over like 15 seconds or something. I've tested it and its nearly inaudible.

Shalinor posted:Are you linking this over wifi, or did you drop wires for everything back to the central system? I built my house about 5 years ago and dropped multiple runs of Cat5 into every room. See some pictures of how I wired up the sensors and stuff here. You can do this wirelessly with xbee sensors which work pretty great. The only downside to xbee sensors is that while the 1-wire DS18B20 sensors cost a couple bucks, the xbee sensors are 20 to 50 bucks apiece.

Something about that really made you think about what you were doing, and I'm sorry for people learning to code with text editors that they miss that. Typing code out of magazines was fun!

I think the previous best-in-class game I'd seen in QB was gorillas.bas, I didn't even know it was capable of anything more technical.  I have fond memories of QBasic and now I must go read the blog.

I didn't watch but 5 minutes or so because I'm a busy important man, but I like what I saw so far. I spend most of my hobby time reading and talking about cognitive research, psychology, and the like, and what you're talking about is a specific example of a more general phenomena which pretty much describes humanity.

Tres Burritos posted:Man when I read blog posts and documentation that has the authors email at the bottom or a comment section I always cringe a little. On one hand maybe someone (like a TI bigwig) would like to talk to you. On the other hand, internet commenters. Years ago (2009 maybe?), I wrote a little utility to switch between sound devices in Windows via a hotkey and posted it on my blog. I wrote the utility with the windows automation language AutoIT, which apparently a lot of lovely antivirus programs just automatically flag as a trojan or something. So, I put a couple sentences describing the issue in the blog post with a link to the AutoIT site where they address the issue. Fairly frequently, to this day, I get comments saying "DONT DOWNLOAD WILL HACK UR COMPUTER". For the first year or two, I'd respond to comments explaining the issue, only to get another comment from someone else immediately following mine saying the same thing. Now I just delete them.

Being self-taught, I'm sure my code belongs in the Coding Horrors thread, but I've finally produced something that I'm proud of, otherwise. If anyone has any suggestions for ways I can improve my code, please offer them! Nicely done. You can be self-taught and produce nice code. Certainly, being not-self-taught has little bearing on whether the code you produce ends up in Coding Horrors.

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention is that generally python functions and methods are top_left_coords() instead of topLeftCoords unless you're matching the prevailing style in a larger code base. No biggie, but something to keep in mind.

Scaevolus posted:Learn XPath. It's the best way to scrape content out of webpages. If your parsing library supports them, I prefer css selectors because they're more familiar because I use them more often. You can't always get what you want, but at least for my purposes, they'll get it 999 times out of a 1000.
