About a week ago, I noticed that someone had posted on the subreddit /r/Jailbreak asking for a tweak. What it did was make it so when you selected text, and clicked shift, it would toggle the text through UPPERCASE, lowercase, and the...
I have a jailbroken iPhone, and I wanted to add an Activator Event for a wrong passcode, so that entering '0000' would send a text message. I looked through a bunch of tweaks without any success, so I decided to make it myself. I jumped...
Finally started working on the iOS version. It took me a while to track down a Mac I could use (yay 2009 MacBook Pro!), and even longer to update it from Snow Leopard all the way up to OS X Yosemite for the most recent version of Xcode....
A developer license for Apple costs $100. Now, if you know that you wish to launch an app, that's pretty cheap to get access to all of the great resources and ability to push as many apps as you want onto the App Store. However, while...
A good way to reorganize the chaos that is Banner is to sort all of the links into the main purposes. There are a few main reasons that people go onto Banner:

I'm now finally starting to get back into working on What's Line?, the name that I finally settled on for the app that keeps track of line. Some of the functionality has changed, which will become clear as I continue working through the...
I write a bunch of quick Python programs that interact with Banner. However, for a while now it's been a pain trying to login, as Banner requires you to be using cookies, and have JavaScript enabled (difficult to do with Python)....
Finally summer break, and I'm done with my freshman year. There's a bunch of projects that I've started but then pushed off, and now's the time to start kicking them into gear.
Right after I made the post I got in contact with the school in regards to fixing it. After 5 days, the problem is solved! Yay!
This is just a quick update on where DartmouthRoomSearch is. It finally comes up on the first page of Google when you search "dartmouth room search"! And it's first! I've been using Google Analytics to track hits, which has been...
There's a security problem with Banner. It's not huge, and the system does have safeguards against it, but they aren't tailored to the problem. The problem comes about with "Request an Unofficial Transcript - PDF version". The web...
I recently got my USB adapter for the Kinect in the mail. I set it up, and the USB device wasn't recognized. I downloaded the SDK 2.0 from here and got to work. You have to unplug the Kinect, run the software, and then plug it back in....
