This entry was posted in Coding and tagged program s60 wardriving wifi on

Barbelo is an open source S60 tool for discovering and logging (in Kismet XML format) the wireless networks (and their details) around you. In combination with GPSd you can log geolocation data for these networks. But the program, oringinaly save the logs to e:\barbelo\logs path without the posibility of change it, so if no memory card exist on your phone, the program crash.

So, I create a hacked version of the program, that save the logs to the internal memory.

Subnetting Calculator, Library & GUI Application

This entry was posted in Coding and tagged .net calc ip library netmask program subnet on

On the occasion of the subZraw’s article about the subnetting I create a library (dll) targeting the .NET platform, called SubnettingCalcs, which can do subnetting calculations, and provide info about network hosts capacity, netmask length, netmask, network prefix, lowest (first) host IP, highest (last) host IP & broadcast address at string dotted address format, decimal format with 4 cell byte array and binary format with 32 cell byte array with 0 and 1 values.

The library licensed under the terms of FreeBSD License. You can find more info and documentation at dedicated page at my site (/public-projects/subnettingcalcs-dll/) .

Also I made a small, portable, application which transfer the library’s capabilities to the end user desktop. The application called SubnetCalculator. It distributed under the terms of FreeBAD License and I made a dedicated page at my site (/public-projects/subnetcalculator/), from where you can download it.

Blink Element’s Border the CSS way

This entry was posted in CSS and tagged css script on

Before 5 months, I wrote about a javascript function to make the border of an element blink infinite, using DOM. But, blinking an element’s border it’s also possible with CSS3 animation element, without any javascript usage.

At the stylesheet, just add a keyframe, setting the border-color property and timed at the 50% of the animation.

Also, at the blinking element class, use the animation property, with the keyframe above, the blinking duration you want, timing function at step-end, iteration count infinite and direction alternate.

Because of only prefixed CSS animation element support at the most browsers for the moment,
it’s highly recomended to use the -prefix-free script from Lea Verou, to write pure unprefixed CSS3 code and support all major browsers, until they closely aligned with the CSS3 standards.

For the moment, that support @keyframe and animation CSS elements (even in the prefixed format) are the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

The CSS code


@keyframes blink { 
   50% { border-color: #ff0000; } 
}
table{ /*or other element you want*/
    animation-name: blink ;
    animation-duration: .5s ;
    animation-timing-function: step-end ;
    animation-iteration-count: infinite ;
    animation-direction: alternate ;
}

The CSS with all animation properties combined at one line


@keyframes blink { 
   50% { border-color: #ff0000; } 
}
table{ /*or other element you want*/
    animation: blink .5s step-end infinite alternate;
}
