3 free WordPress themes I’ve created for you

Please note: These themes are offered for free, under the terms of the GPL licence. No free support or help is given.

OpenBook – Magazine theme


Back in 2008, when “magazine” themes where the absolute hype, I’ve released OpenBook, a “magazine” theme inspired by Darren Hoyt’s Mimbo. OpenBook was release on WPHacks, and was downloaded more than 500 times that year.

Just two months ago, I’ve re-released OpenBook in a new version, which is 100% compatible with WordPress 3.0+. This new version includes wp_nav_menu() support, sidebar widgets, and the theme have a complete custom control panel where you can set-up its options.
» Download OpenBook or view the live demo.

Snippet – Thematic child theme


Theme frameworks are quite popular these days. Most are premium themes (Genesis, Thesis) but the best one in my opinion is 100% free. This framework is called Thematic.

I’ve used Thematic intensively last year, on Cats Who Code, my NYC tourism blog Visiter New York and the now abandonned blog PHP Snippets. On this last site, I’ve created a child theme named Snippet: It is simple, clean and perfect for a developer. As I know most of CWC readers are developers, I thought some of you would definitely enjoy it.

jQuery Mobile – Mobile theme


If you’re a CWC reader for some months, you probably remember my How to create a mobile WordPress theme with jQuery Mobile article, which was a tutorial about creating a mobile theme for your WordPress blog, using the excellent framework jQuery Mobile.

This theme, simply named jQuery Mobile is optimized for mobile devices such as the iPhone, Android, Blackberries, etc. It is a great basis for building a mobile website. Of course, you can also use it on your own blog, along with a plugin like IWPhone, which can automatically detect a mobile device and switch from your regular theme to a mobile theme.

HowTo: RFID Cat Door

rfid_cat.jpg

Sure you can go out and buy an automatic car door that opens when your cat gets near it, but that requires your cat to wear a special collar and you need to keep the batteries in the collar in check. Since most pet owners already have identification RFID chips injected into their cats, why not take advantage of them.

By using an Arduino and some inexpensive parts, Instructables user landmanr put together a cat door that reads the cat’s RFID tag within 4-inches and unlocks the door. The code can distinguish between different RFID tags and can act accordingly. It’s simple, effective and well built. All he is missing is an enclosure to protect the internals.

Pro HDR: Make iPhone Images Clearer and Sharper

HDR, or High Dynamic Range imaging, is a method of mixing under exposed and over exposed images together to make a composite. This composite gives you much more vivid colors and gives your outdoor photos more detail.

Today we’ll be looking at a way to take your photos to the next level with Pro HDR, a photography application that specializes in HDR imaging. 

How HDR Works

HDR works by taking a few pictures with different degrees of brightness and exposure and combining them. Usually, the process utilizes one darkened version, and one lightened version. Through a merging process, the computer takes details from both and fuzes them together. A dark image might only show a few details due to the darkness, while the light picture will show more but will be too bright to see. By mixing these images together, you are able to see details and colors that normally wouldn’t be shown in pictures.

This give you more realistic photographs of what you are actually seeing instead of pictures where the brightness masks the details underneath. Take a sunny day for instance. When you take a normal picture, the brightness of the sun is going to hide the vivid colors of the sky and the resulting image will be too sunny. But through HDR, you’re able to filter out the brightness of the sun and get the natural colors of the sky behind you. Now you have a beautiful picture of the sky instead of a white blur.

The same works in dark situations where a normal photo will be a bit too dark to see detail. HDR is a great way to improve the quality of your photos

Apple’s HDR

Apple recently added HDR as a feature for iPhone 4 users who want to get more detail in pictures. When your taking a photograph in the Camera app, tap HDR to turn it on. The resulting image will show more detail that the sun would typically mask. This works by taking three images and forming a composite, the resulting image shows more detail and color. It’s a great start, but could be better.

Pro HDR

What if you want a bit more control over the resulting image? Apple being Apple made their method extremely simple and didn’t include advanced controls. If you want more control the HDR process and the resulting image, download and open Pro HDR.

You have two modes in Pro HDR: automatic and manual. Tap automatic and let it snap a few pictures with various exposure settings. Now you get a preview of the HDR image. Below that you will have controls for brightness, contrast, tinting, and much more. You can fine tune exactly how your image looks to get that perfect shot. It’s just as easy as Apple’s method but with a bit more control. Advanced users can tap the manual button to fine tune the underexposed and overexposed images. Pro HDR truly gives you more control over your images than Apple’s HDR method.

The Proof

The Left is taken with the built-in Camera app (No HDR) , the Right is another picture taken with Pro HDR

As you can see, the images taken with Pro HDR and adjusted with the built-in brightness and contrast appear more vivid and crisp while images taken with the built-in camera appear more washed out. The clouds in the background of the ProHDR created images seem whiter and sharper compared to the grayish blurs which normally result when taking an cloudy picture on your iPhone.

The real magic to making ProHDR photos stand out is adjusting the image with ProHDRs brightness and contrast, which let you fine tune your photo masterpiece. I’ve found that using ProHDR in combination with their brightness and contrast controls results in some fantastic images.

eyeApps also have a large collection of photographs in their gallery demonstrating how Pro HDR improves your photography. It’s worth a look if you still aren’t convinced: eyeApps gallery.

The Design

The only thing I didn’t like about Pro HDR was the look and feel of the app. The app works fantastic but it doesn’t really feel professional or even like it was built for the iPhone. In fact, it almost reminds me of an Adobe Air application. The developers could greatly improve the application by hiring a professional iPhone UI designer to make it look gorgeous. Also, the app is missing the ability to share images via Social networking, a feature that almost every other photography-based app includes.

Conclusion

If you’re a casual photographer who wants to add a little more detail to your photos, then you’re likely going to stick with Apple’s built-in HDR button for improving your photos. But if you like experimenting with new techniques and want to get that perfect photo, download Pro HDR.

As you can see from the above photos, Pro HDR lets you tweak the exposure settings and other image properties so that the resulting image is far superior to what your iPhone is able to produce on its own. Leave a comment below and let us know what you think!

Inspiro: An App to Inspire You to Think

Would you like an app that gives you new ideas and forces you to think?  While the press is pondering the way gadgets distract and can keep us from spending time thinking, we’re going to look at an app that promises to promote your creativity and give you food for thought.

Inspiro is a unique new app designed to prompt your creativity and inspire your imagination.  It generates phrases and plot ideas from a vast database of random words and phrases.  Just like the fill-in-the-blank stories for kids that let them create imaginative or crazy stories, Inspiro’s phrases are designed to give you a laugh or inspiration for your next creative project.  Let’s take a quick tour and see how you can put it to use to spark your creativeness.

Getting Started

From the second you launch Inspiro, you’ll be prompted with random ideas to inspire you.  Phrases will flash by under the app’s name; tap to pause and read one, then tap again to scroll through other phrases.  Press the red button to dive into Inspiro.

Get a quick inspiring or comical thought just by starting Inspiro

The main Index screen lets you choose one of three modes: The Muse, Scenarios, or The Daydream Machine.  You can also tweak the app’s settings from the gear button, or go back to the launch screen by pressing Slogans.  Each of the different modes let you get different types of random inspiration and phrases, so let’s look at each and see what it has to offer.

Decide your mode, tweak settings, or go back to the launch screen.

The Muse

The Muse is the simplest mode in Insprio.  It create basic combinations of nouns and adjectives, with 10 modes including different number and arrangements of the nouns and adjectives.  The words will spin by fast at first; tap the red button to stop them, then tap an individual word to randomly change it or press the red button to change all the words.

The Muse includes 10 variations

Once you have something that sparks your imagination, press the white W button in the top left corner to add an ending phrase.  You can then play with variations on the theme by locking in some of the words and randomizing others.

Freeze words to tweak the combination as you wish

If you really like the combination Inspiro generated, you can share it via email or your favorite network, save it for later, or copy it to your clipboard and save or share it in any app.

Share or save your inspiration

Scenarios

Scenarios is somewhat similar to The Muse, but only uses nouns and verb phrases.   You can choose to have two nouns with a verb in the middle, or just a noun followed by a verb phrase.  Press the rotate button on the bottom left to swap the order, and as before, press the red button to stop and start randomizing words.  The combinations are definitely more on the funny side in Scenarios, so if you’re looking for inspiration for Charades or for writing a children’s book, this might be a great place to start!

Random nouns and verbs can make some funny combinations!

The Daydream Machine

The Daydream Machine is my personal favorite mode, and will likely either make you laugh or contemplate the hardest, depending on the random phrase you get.  Unlike the other modes, the Daydream Machine is designed to let you sit back and get ideas without tweaking anything.  First, it’ll give you a starting thought on a black background.

The Daydream Machine starts out with an opening thought…

It’ll then follow up with completing thoughts that are randomly generated to make you contemplate an odd or intriguing situation.   You can press the red power button to stay on the current thought; otherwise, after a few seconds it’ll give you another completing phrase to think about.  This makes a fun screensaver-type animation to keep on your desk for inspiration.

…and finishes with a completing phrase.

Tweaking Inspiro’s Settings

If you’re not fond of the default words and phrases in Inspiro, you can tweak the entire vocabulary set to exclude words you don’t want or even add your own words.  You can access the settings page from any screen by pressing the gear button.  Depending on which mode you’re using, you may see more or less settings.  If you press the gear button in The Muse or Scenarios mode, you’ll be able to select the types of words used in that mode, and then in all modes you’ll see the ratings bar on the left.  This lets you quickly remove words with G, PG, or R ratings.

Depending on where you access settings, you may see different options

Now with ratings like G, PG, and R, you might expect that the words included may be drastically different and perhaps highly inappropriate for some audiences by default, but this was not our experience.  To tweak further, tap the small V icon in the bottom left corner of most screens in Inspiro.  This will open the Vocabulary page, where you can dive into each category of words and phrases included in the app.

View all included types of words and phrases

Tap a category to see subcategories and individual entries with their respective ratings.  Tap the star to mark a word as a favorite so it will be used more often, or edit the rating as you wish.  You can even remove individual entries or change their spelling to fit your regional preference.

View, edit, or remove any word or phrase you want

Want to customize it further?  You can add your own categories and individual vocabulary entries to see random phrases and ideas that include the things most important to you.  This is a great way to make the app work just like you want, and can be a fun way to turn it into a game that includes your family’s names and more.

Add words, categorize and rate them, then enjoy your new personalized idea machine!

Pros and Cons

Inspiro’s interface is quite nicely designed.  The background textures and typography look great together, and even the realistic-looking buttons are done fairly well.  However, the interface isn’t nearly as nice in the settings section.  The ratings icons and the vocabulary organizer both could use some extra attention, and almost look out of place with the rest of the app.

One of the app’s best features is that you can add your own vocabulary words.  This can make it a fun brainstorming tool since you can use it to come up with random ideas about topics you’re currently writing about.  However, the app still seems somewhat pricey for what it offers compared to many other games on the App Store.  Thankfully, though, Inspiro is a universal app that works great on any iOS device, including iPad.  Unlike many games, you won’t have to purchase a standard version for your iPhone and an HD version for your iPad.

Insprio runs great on iPad … no HD version needed here!

Conclusion

Inspiro is a neat way to inspire your imagination, and it was more fun to use than we initially imagined.  The different modes make the app a fun way to come up with inspiration for your next creative project or crazy conversation starters.  Actually, if you’d like a great party game and haven’t come across any you like yet, Inspiro could make some very fun group games including inspiration for charades or pictionary-style games.  At any rate, it’s still one of the more unique entertainment apps in the App Store, so if you’re looking for a way to spark some new ideas in a creative and fun way, be sure to check it out!

Sorted: Organize Your Life on Your iPad

Everyday, everyone completes numerous tasks and for some, the completion of the tasks can sometimes be forgotten. Luckily for us Apple users, there’s a wealth of apps available in our much-loved App Store to help us get through the daily grind. One interesting dollar-priced app is in this category is Sorted.

Unlike many other to-do apps, Sorted is quite simplistic in UI and functionality. It’s simple: add tasks, get reminded and then do them. It’s not tedious, even if the task might be. So whether you need to remember to pick up milk from the store or be sure to get that birthday present, Sorted might just be your solution.

Getting Started

Sorted is presented in a similar way to the Apple’s Pages app, containing numerous task lists in a horizontal menu. From here, you can create a new list, delete an old one or open a current list. Opening or creating a list will bring up a notepad-like interface, akin to the iPad’s native calendar app. This is your task list, an optimistic look of your fun day ahead or your tedious list of chores.

Adding an item couldn’t be easier, with a simple tap of the plus button adding a new item for you to name. Naming the list is the only thing you need to do, but you can tap on it to change priority, set reminders and add notes.

Sorted has a Pages-style document view

In the settings, you can add different colours to the priority options and at different levels. You can either use this for it’s intended use to signify importance, or just to colour code your tasks.

Setting reminders works in a very similar way to the calendar app and adding notes too. There’s not really that much difference from a calendar, except from the lack of defining a timescale.

Design & UI

Sorted has a simple design. It shows your tasks, and stops there. Everything is presented in an aesthetically pleasing way sans the clutter. The idea of housing it in a notebook-like interface is no novelty here as it looks more natural than many of its competitors.

Sorted’s UI is simple but beautiful

Sorting the Sorted

In addition to the lack of defining a timescale, a major difference is the ability to mark tasks as completed via a one-finger swipe on the task. Doing this hides it from the open list and removes it from vision unless you venture onto the “Completed” tab.

And that brings us nicely to those four tabs at the top. The first tab shows the open list of tasks. The second re-organises the list into order of priority. Of course, colours mean nothing and instead, the importance is set by the user in the settings menu.

The third and forth tabs allow you to view all the completed task and also reorganise them by date.

Tap, Tap and you’re Done!

Sorted uses some multi-touch gestures that you might take some time getting used to. In order to set a task as completed, you simply need to swipe with a single finger on the task. To delete a task, use two fingers in the same gesture.

If you don’t want to use the plus button, you can utilise a double tap to create a new list item. To move them up and down the list, use the grapple to drag them up and down.

Usage

So when would you use this app? Well I’m sure that the type of app would have already indicated its general, everyday usage. However, the unique thing about this particular app is the ability to go back to document view and create multiple lists. This means if you have different tasks for work and home, it’s a simple tap and swipe to change lists.

A great feature of Sorted is the priorities feature. In settings, you can set your own priority scale.

Plus, it’s great to see the priority feature play an important role in this app. Most other to-do apps neglect the diversity of importance of different tasks, so it’s nice to see this play an important role here.

Final Thoughts

I’ve been searching for a good to-do list app for the iPad for a while. This seems like it could be the one. Sorted fuses a simple UI with a simple feature set to it’s advantage as spending ages planning out your tasks instead of doing them isn’t the best way of being productive with a to-do app. If you’re looking for an attractive app that does what it says on the tin, Sorted is probably for you.

My new favorite to-do app at the moment is Sorted but i’m curious to hear what other great apps are out there. Have you tried Sorted or another to-do checklist app? Let us know in the comments!

Turn Back the Clock with Vintage Video Apps

In the past we’ve discussed at length the new fad of vintage photography via apps such as Instagram. There are plenty of outspoken haters of this trend but the rest of us are happy to enjoy the fun of bringing a little old school goodness to our high tech phones.

Some forward thinking developers have already begun looking past still photographs and bringing the same vintage trend into video. The result is a quickly growing selection of apps that make it incredibly easy to create video clips with enough retro flare to make Hipstamatic users green with envy.

8mm Vintage Camera

This beautiful piece of software is currently being featured on the iTunes store as the App of the Week. The app comes with 25 built-in “looks” that offer different variations of dust & scratches, retro colors, flickering, light leaks, and frame jitters.

Much like with Hipstamatic, you can choose from and combine five different lenses and five different films to create a completely customized experience. These effects update live so you can see exactly what they will look like before hitting the record button.

The end product is actually quite believable as a piece of old footage. Check out the sample video here as proof.

Price: $1.99

8mm Vintage Camera

Vintage Video Maker

Vintage Video Maker contains five different effects to add to either a new or existing video: 20′s Movie , 60′s Home Video, Black & White Video, Sepia Video and Sepia Vintage Video. You can also slow down and speed up the video for added effect.

After you’ve recorded your video and chosen an effect, choose a sound effect to add. Options include old piano music or a running movie projector.

Price: $1.99 (limited time)

iRetroscope

The developers of Vintage Video Maker also created this app. If tons of options and buttons aren’t really your thing and you’d rather have something simple, check out iRetroscope.

All you do is move the slider to a specific decade and the video effect will automatically be updated to reflect a home movie from that time period. It’s that easy!

If you’re the exact opposite of the simple, easy going customer described in the previous app, this one might be for you. CinemaFX for Video includes a whopping 55 effects to make your videos look awesome.

You can stack up to three different effects from four different categories together and make side-by-side comparisons with the original video. Once you’re done, you can export your videos straight to YouTube in full HD.

For $2.99, this amazing app is quite a steal!

iSupr8

This app is all about one thing: reproducing the look of old 8mm film. The interface is a little complex for such a basic app, but once you get the hang of it you’ll love the results.

This is another app for those not too concerned with a myriad of effects but opt instead for letting the software take over while you simply shoot. One nice feature is Facebook integration so you can instantly share your videos with your friends.

If you like this one, be sure to check out Super 8, another app with a nearly identical concept but slightly different execution.

Conclusion

The apps above each take a unique spin on the idea of applying vintage effects to modern video. It may not be what you want for all of your video projects, but it’s certainly a fun way to add more interest to some boring cell phone footage.

Script That Collects Website Data

I need a bash script that will run and collect data from this site http://www.gazzettaufficiale.it/guridb/dispatcher?service=1&task=elenco60GuFree and store it to variables ready to feed a database.

all sub-links should be parsed too in order to create for each legislative act a line in a database. This is the idea of the project.

Documents stored on the mentioned website are laws and other norms which are freely available to public, nothing illegal.

Idea We Want To Buy

We have following 2 projects in our mind:

1. online trasport software
2. online school software

1. online transport software :
(a) basic concept: a trasporter collects goods from one place and sends it to the other, such as from olso to london. The consignee wants to track his consignment and consigner wants to know the shipment arrival, the tracking system. All the activities on the screen should have related advertisement on the right panel of the software (like in face book personal page). We want this to be done through our online software. We want the transporter manage a to z about his business through our website. Here, we want you to let us know about (how and what) all technically. All should be in points and with expamples. Once we approve the idea we will create the project details and award the project to the one whose idea is selected

2. online school software
Everything about :
student
teacher
school
accounts
Everything about managing school administration, teacher, employees, accounts and the same : All the activities on the screen should have related advertisement on the right panel of the software (like in face book personal page).

Happy bidding
