Siri controlling room via SiriProxy

Siri controlling room via SiriProxy 

What is Siri ? 

Siri is the intelligent personal assistant that helps you get things done just by asking. It allows you to use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. But Siri isn’t like traditional voice recognition software that requires you to remember keywords and speak specific commands. Siri understands your natural speech, and it asks you questions if it needs more information to complete a task.Visit Apple to know more about siri

phildman14 " Using SiriProxy I am able to control any of the devices in my house. These are a couple things I can do in my room so far. Pandora control, IR commands, VLC Library control, Mountain weather reports and more coming soon! Subscribe to be the first to hear about new videos!

How this works:
I have OSX Lion running in VMWare, MaraDNS routing guzzoni.apple.com, and a ruby gem that directs commands back to a C# server I have written for my iphone app (see other videos) and dual purposed for Siri :)
The C# server talks to directly to the X10 interface via CM15a.
X10 is what controls the fan and lights.
The curtains are opened/closed using some pieces from an old robotics kit and using an arduino to power it all. It can respond to X10, RFID, and physical buttons as well. See my videos for a walkthrough "

Microsoft inviting users to beta test a new version of Microsoft Security Essentials

Microsoft inviting users to beta test a new version of Microsoft Security Essentials

Microsoft has been sending out invitations to people who have previously tested versions of Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) to test a new version of security software. Users can accept the invitation from Microsoft Connect to take part in the new beta program although it’s currently unclear what version of the software users will be testing, it could be MSE 3.

Testers of the previous versions of MSE should look out for an invitation in their email inbox.

Thank you so much for being a part of the Microsoft Security Essentials v2 Beta. You have indicated that you are interested in receiving invites for Connect programs from Microsoft, so we would like to invite you to participate in the Microsoft Security Essentials Public Beta program on Microsoft Connect. This program is for the newest Beta version of Microsoft Security Essentials which has the latest protection features. Be one of the select few who get access to this Beta release by signing up now to reserve your spot!

It is not yet known what new features the beta will bring as all the email says is that it “has the latest protection features”. Previous versions of MSE have worked on Windows XP, Vista and 7 and it’s very likely that the new version will maintain this compatibility. Windows 8 will feature MSE in built into the operating system, therefore it likely Windows will make use of some, if not all, the new feature that will be found in the new beta.

If you  want to be involved in this new beta program then you can apply to be included at Microsoft Connect.

Run Any Android Application On Windows | BlueStack

BlueStacks is an Android app player for Windows that can run any type of Android apps and games in full screen mode without encountering any performance or compatibility related issues. It features 10 pre-loaded apps along with an option to add custom apps. You can either download new apps from the BlueStacks Channel or push your favorite apps from your Android phone to your PC via BlueStacks Cloud Connect.

After installation, you will find a gadget on the right corner of your screen. Clicking the gadget will extend an App Tray.When you run an app, the application will automatically go into full screen mode.

At the bottom, you have Menu, Rotate, Zoom and All Apps buttons in the center with app navigation and close buttons at either side. The Zoom button switches between full-screen and standard view modes. Clicking the All Apps button will show the BlueStacks gadget with the App Tray.

You can download additional Android apps from BlueStacks Channels. Click Get More Apps in the widget app tray. Upon the first visit, you need to login with your Facebook account. Once logged in, you can choose and install an app by clicking the Subscribe button under it.

A great feature of this application is that you can push the apps from your Android device to your PC by using the BlueStacks Cloud Connect option.

1. 

Once done, open the Cloud Connect page on your PC’s browser to receive a Phone PIN. Open the app on your phone, enter the PIN and tap OK. You should now be able to see a list of all your apps inside BlueStacks Cloud Connect. Check the app that you want to push to your PC and tap Sync.

You might have to wait for some time for the apps to sync with your PC. When the syncing process is completed, you can run all your Android device’s apps on your PC.

There was a lot of hype surrounding BlueStacks when it was first announced and truth be told, even though it is in alpha stage as of now, the application far exceeds expectations. It runs Android apps with little or no lag at all and provides its own medium for transfer of apps from device to PC. It does have its limitations, though. For instance, you cannot use apps or play games that are dependent on multi-touch – an issue that might be resolved in future updates.

Only the free version of BlueStacks is available at the moment and it has a maximum limit of 26 downloadable apps (excluding the 10 pre-loaded apps). The application works on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Analytics Support in blogger by Google..

Blogger has made this now more easy to connect your Google Analyticsaccount with your blog. The traffic and visitor engagement statistics of your blog is one of the best ways to help it grow, and Google Analytics help you to track all the visits and other data related to visitors.

If you add Google Analytics to your blog, it will give you more insight into where your visitors are coming from and help you determine which content they engage with the most. It's an easy to use, powerful, free product that is used internationally by businesses large & small. Here's how to do this.

You need an Analytics Account and need to add your site to your account, and if you already have a Google Analytics account, simply add it with your blog at blogger. To do this, navigate to your blog’s Settings > Other tab and enter your blog's Google Analytics Web Property ID. Blogger will then insert Google Analytics code into your blog automatically, regardless of which template you're using, including mobile. You don't need manually add tracking code to your template.


Analytics generates tracking code for each web property (profile) you add to your account. The tracking code includes an ID for the web property. To find your Tracking Code and Web Property ID, login to your Analytics account and you can see this code in coming page. Your web-property ID is listed in the first few lines of the tracking code, and takes the form UA-XXXXX-Y or UA-XXXXX-YY.

Currently Google Analytics is supported on blogs using Dynamic Views, Layouts templates, and mobile templates, but not Classic templates. Because of the technical differences in how Blogger’s stats and Google Analytics collect data, you are likely to see some minor discrepancies between the two.

Google Analytics is the enterprise-class web analytics solution that gives you rich insights into your website traffic and marketing effectiveness. Powerful, flexible and easy-to-use features now let you see and analyze your traffic data in an entirely new way. With Google Analytics, you're more prepared to write better-targeted ads, strengthen your marketing initiatives and create higher converting websites.
