Quick Tip: Read and Parse XML File With C#

While I was developing My Timer 0.1.0 beta 1, the hardest part for me to solve is how to parse the stored configuration file (which is in XML format) and read the values. It took me almost 2 days to figure out the best way to parse the XML file (at least it works for me). You can take a look at my example so you will have the idea to develop your own XML parser. The code is a bit long even though it only do a small task. I’ll try my best to explain the code, if you have any questions feel free to drop a comment.
Our mission is to read and parse this XML file and output the data to the console application.

Introducing… My Timer 0.1.0 beta 1

First of all, I’m very sorry for the lack of updates for the past
months. Actually, after my last blog post (How to Install WYSIWYG Editor in Drupal 6, Using WYSIWYG API and jwysiwyg) I’ve concentrated on learning C#
programming language and developing My Timer (My Timer is the first program I wrote using C# and .NET 2.0). I’ve released My Timer 0.1.0 beta 1 on 16th July 2009 but on 17th July, I went to Kuala Lumpur for almost 3 weeks.
What is My Timer?
My Timer is a small program that enables you to create countdown
timers. When the countdown reaches 0, you can choose to get notified
with a message box or MP3 audio, or both. You can expect to see more
features in the future! Feel free to test and run it!
My Timer is open source and is licensed under
GPLv3 and requires minimum Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 in order to run. If you have any bugs report, comments or suggestions please post them in My Timer forum.

How to Install WYSIWYG Editor in Drupal 6, Using WYSIWYG API and jwysiwyg

In my previous post, I’ve written about Drupal Hack: How to Install Wysiwyg API Module With jWYSIWYG. Since jwysiwyg 0.5 is already available, this post is meant to update my previous post. By default, there is no built in WYSIWYG editor in Drupal 6. In this post, you will find out on how to install a WYSIWYG editor in Drupal 6 using WYSIWYG API module and a lightweight WYSIWYG editor, jwysiwyg. The Drupal’s WYSIWYG API module will simplifies the installation of editors and allows you to define which editor to use depending on the input format.
1. I assume you already have a working Druapl 6 installation. Download the latest WYSIWYG API and jwysiwyg. In this post, I will use WYSIWYG API version 2.0 and jwysiwyg version 0.5.
2. Extract WYSIWYG API module files and upload folder ‘wysiwyg’ to your Drupal’s ‘sites\all\modules‘ folder.
3. Extract the content of jwysiwyg. We will edit ‘jquery.wysiwyg.js’ file to enable jwysiwyg toolbar control. Open ‘jquery.wysiwyg.js’ file with your favourite text editor.

How to Create Ring Tones From MP3 Files for Your Mobile Phone

Quick tip. New mobile phones nowadays support playing MP3 files and let you use the MP3 files as your ring tone or message tone. Sometimes, we don’t want to use the entire part of a MP3 file as our ring tone. In this post I will show you how to create a MP3 file from certain part of a MP3 file. We will use Audacity, a free and open source sound editing software.
1. First of all, we need to download and install Audacity. In this post, I will use the latest Audacity 1.3.7 beta.
2. Next, download and install the LAME MP3 encoder to allow Audacity to export audio file to MP3 format.
3. Run Audacity. If you’ve installed the LAME MP3 encoder plugin for Audacity, your Audacity should be able to encode to MP3 files. To check if the LAME MP3 encoder is enabled in Audacity, Go to ‘Edit’ > ‘Preferences’ (1). Click ‘Import/Export’ (2). The version of LAME encoder should be showed (3).
