We now start to see a lot of audio and video streaming services spawning accross the web. Spotify, imeem, and Deezer are some of them and I just love these services for letting me listen my favorite albums for free no matter where I am. The annoying thing is that for most of theses services, you must have a browser opened for audio/video streaming, so I’ve decided to work on this magnet based on imeem. It lets me search an [...]

I’ve read here and there that some of you’d like to use magnets without myBoard. Well it’s now possible with the Magnet Extractor. When you start this application, it will ask you for the magnet dll file.

Once you’ve selected the magnet you are intested in, choose a location where you want to start the magnet (it’s just a simple link/shortcut).

If everything is ok, you should have a dialog box telling you the operation worked just fine.

Finally, launch the magnet by [...]

Ok folks, as you can see, I’ve changed my web site and switched from b2Evolution to Wordpress. B2Evolution doens’t have any export to Wordpress feature so I lost all comments from my previous web site
But I hope you will all enjoy the new design and fill this new web site with tons of comments and feedbacks

myBoard

Ok, I release this new version of myBoard because the previous one was really unstable. Go grab it here and make sure you don’t have any files in C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\myBoard\Magnets before you install this.

twister

EDIT : Twister SERVER ERROR 503 bug fixed in Pre Alpha 0.81

Ok folks, here is my new magnet : Twister !
As you can probably guess this is a twitter client. It is still in alpha (so not feature complete) but I wanted to share with you this early release so you can tell me what you think about it

So here is how it works :

First login

You can then sell all recent twitts from your followers and people mentioning [...]

mycomics

UPDATE : Ooops, I’ve just realized there is something wrong with this magnet. Long story short, just replace it with that one, and you also need to patch myBoard using this file instead.

Ok folks, this is the first release of a magnet requested a long time ago by Jacob !
As you can see, this magnet allows you to browse through comic strip. It basically connects to http://www.gocomics.com/ and extract comics strip from there. So far I’ve only added a [...]

code

A lot of you guys are sending me emails about this error. Long story short, I have no idea where it comes from. myBoard works fine on all computers I’ve tested it on (XP & Vista).
I’ve posted a thread on Microsoft forum, but so far they couldn’t provide any solution for this issue. But I’ll try to explain what I think the problem is.
myBoard uses a new feature available in .NET 3.5 SP1 called pixel shaders. It allows me [...]

cpu

It was a request from Canaan, here it is !

The big number is the current CPU usage, the green bar on the right turns red when the CPU starts to get heavily used and it turns green on low CPU usage. Finaly the little number,”917″ on the screenshot, is the amount of free RAM available on the system.
Source code is, as usual, available on Codeplex.

This magnet is a port of the mini CPU widget designed and created by Arlo [...]
