Robot car climbing stairs

Robot car climbing stairs, made by a student from mechano parts, some bath tubs, some custom made parts at the machinery lab and engine + remote control parts from a cheap racing car toy

Snake robot videos at MetaCafe

has an interesting zoom at how the inter-parts joint works

does pole climbing, by crounching arround the pole tight and rotating its body parts to go up/down!

 

when setup isn’t just xcopy : Inside the MSI file format.

Did you know .MSI (Windows Installer) files can be queried using SQL commands that the Windows Installer supports?

when setup isn’t just xcopy : Inside the MSI file format.

see such SQL query in action (script [for WSH - Windows Script Host] that lists files in .MSI file):

maybe an overkill though

btw, there seem to be some trojans arround perusing the windows installer and injecting their code in various installation files stored on one’s machine

for more on Windows Installer, see:

3impact v4.4 for Delphi

Grab it (both the RAW API port and my OOP wrapper) from the 3impact forum topic "Making updated headers for Delphi"

Welcome to J# area

I’m a Microsoft MVP (Visual Developer – J#) for several years now

https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=71B377D2-4DE3-49D7-B693-B181393EC279

so will dedicate this area to J# (see my port of JavaOSC to J# for starters)

 

have fun,

George

JavaOSC ported to J#

just ported today JavaOSC to J# and sent the update to the authors of JavaOSC to consider including at their distro

did a J# project that links to the original source files (when using Add Existing Item, you click the dropdown arrow next to the Open button and select Open Link from there). Changes needed to the original sources were minor, renamed enum to _enum in the source code, cause seems J# compiler has a bug where even if you disable the .net or all (.NET and J++) extensions (from Project Properties, see the Advanced button), it still treats "enum" as a special keyword (it shouldn’t since it’s not a reserved keyword for other Java compilers)
