Shortpasta — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 01:46:44 +0000

I implemented a real ICMP for Java with native support for win32, and I put it up on http://www.shortpasta.org — here is some sample code:

final IcmpPingResponse icmpPingResponse =
IcmpUtil.executeIcmpPingRequest (
final String ipAddress,
final int packetSize,
final long timeout);

alex, this might work for the “hello world” program you have written so far, but sadly it doesn’t work in reality.

Unfortunately qca-tls pulls in qt3 dependencies that I’m avoiding (irrationally) like the plague!

It worked like a charm.

1 note tho: be sure that you do not do initial log on to google talk with status: invisible
This will cause the contact list not to be shown.

Comment on Android scripting environment supports JRuby by Frank Spychalski

Frank Spychalski — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:45:27 +0000

David, just install ASE and you are ready to run Ruby. Please let me know how the performance is on the Droid. On a G1 start-up time for JRuby is an issue, it’s really slooooow.

Comment on Ant help target by Durban_legend

Durban_legend — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:19:49 +0000

Thanks Frank. In support of your comment/premise, not everybody has time for training courses or learns all the basics before the more advanced stuff they need. I’ve used Ant to do lots of useful and funky stuff in the past, and I didn’t know about this. Nor did the people who created most (if not all) of the Ant files I’ve borrowed or inherited. And if the author doesn’t know to put descriptions in, “ant -projecthelp” won’t be of much use to anyone. I thought there must be a better way, and Google brought me here, and you helped me out. Schlumpf, why are you wasting your precious time here? Get back to work! (especially if you’re still here nearly 5 years later) .

Comment on Javascript “close hook” for browser window by schlumpf

schlumpf — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:34:11 +0000

Hi Ayusman, sorry for the delay in replying to your last comment. I copied your code into a html file and opened it in my browser. It works as expected. I added some code: onclick="needToConfirm=false" to the google link, and then it deactivates the popup message as expected. If you right-click the link and say "open in new window", it does set the needToConfirm to false, too (similar effect when you add target="blank" to the link which opens the link in a new window) , but the main window is NOT relaoded and the needToConfirm remains false, and when you then refresh or close the main window, the warning message is not shown. That's a problem indeed, for which I have no solution. Perhaps there's some javascript action which can be executed AFTER a link was clicked, then we could use that to set needToConfirm="true" again?

Comment on Javascript “close hook” for browser window by schlumpf

Hi Kamatchi,
thanks for your comment. As far as I know, it’s not possible to distinguish between refresh and close events. But I’m not really an expert on this… I just copied the code from somewhere else.

hello

The above script is working fine while closing browser, but if i press refresh button it alerts the pop up message. I need the pop up only at the time of closing the browser not refresh or navigation through the pages.

Thanks in advance.

Broken link!

I really want to give this a go, I’m a new droid owner and I have been coding ruby since 2005.. gmail/gtalk me r-a-w-d-o-d@-g-mail.c– ( remove dashes) and I’m on freenode irc as oneman / oneman_

I’d be willing to betaboy this stuff and provide as much feedback as possible.

Cheers,
