Idea for my next software?

[Izi]

How would you get a DB with the location of every pub in Briton? If you can then that sounds great! you could also integrate Twitter and Facebook and have it posting/tweeting your current pub for your mates to see

I would integrate with google maps and businesses.

i.e: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en...roup&ct=more-results&resnum=1&ved=0CBAQtQMwAA

I will create a Private SVN for OCuK coders, so the code will be kept private.

We can write an agreement for all who joins that any money that is eventually made is split evenly between contributers.

I think we could be on to something. I have always wanted to do this but my mates are all dseingers or in other industries and I can't do it myself.

I am fairly new to OOP, but learning fast. Created my first google app the other day, just a simple hello world type.

Shall I start a group for people to join?

Sounds like fun, I totally forgot about google maps having all those businesses on there already!

Anyways sign me up! i can't tell you now how much i would be able to contribute in hours but i need a project

I have been programming for a few years now mainly C, a bit of C#, Java and a bit of PHP. Although it maybe important to see what competition is already there to see if its a viable subject to develop an app on.

Tubbz, izi and sandeep so far

I dont know how much time I will be able to dedicate, but if there is enough interest I will set up a quick forum where we can discuss this in more detail.

EDIT: and fez and steve-h!

OcUK dev team 4 strong already!

 

[steve-h]

Im game for a little collaborative coding.

Sounds fun!

pc alarm clock sounds good also!

when I can be bothered i'm gonna make a mass file renamer, useful but boring.

IOPMSchedulePowerEvent
Schedule the machine to wake from sleep, power on, go to sleep, or shutdown.
IOReturn IOPMSchedulePowerEvent(
CFDateRef time_to_wake,
CFStringRef my_id,
CFStringRef type);
Parameters
time_to_wake
Date and time that the system will power on/off.

my_id
A CFStringRef identifying the calling app by CFBundleIdentifier. May be NULL.

type
The type of power on you desire, either wake from sleep or power on. Choose from: CFSTR(kIOPMAutoWake) == wake machine, CFSTR(kIOPMAutoPowerOn) == power on machine, CFSTR(kIOPMAutoWakeOrPowerOn) == wake or power on, CFSTR(kIOPMAutoSleep) == sleep machine, CFSTR(kIOPMAutoShutdown) == power off machine, CFSTR(kIOPMAutoRestart) == restart the machine.

Return Value
kIOReturnSuccess on success, otherwise on failure
Discussion
This event will be added to the system's queue of power events and stored persistently on disk. The sleep and shutdown events present a graphical warning and allow a console user to cancel the event. Must be called as root.

Connects the caller to an IOService for the purpose of receiving power state change notifications for the device controlled by the IOService.
io_connect_t IORegisterApp(
void *refcon,
io_service_t theDriver,
IONotificationPortRef *thePortRef,
IOServiceInterestCallback callback,
io_object_t *notifier ) ;

May be of use to you.. sorry for some strange reason I thought you were talking OSX

Easier would be just to use iCal, set up a daily event that "opens a file" then select the radio app

Just thought of an idea, I'm looking into ways of doing it.

-- A winrar extractor .... wait...carry on reading.

If you have downloaded winrar files off the net usually they are in parts, file.part1.rar, filename.part2.rar etc...

Anyway, normally people use a download manager and set these to download while they sleep.

BUT they don't want to wake up and have to extract the parts then, why can't they just get to their system and the extracted files are there already.

So the program can detect once all the parts have been downloaded and once it has then extract them.

Easy? Maybe..what do you guys think.

Sign me up for this too, I'm just coming towards the end of a project so should be able to dump some time into it.

Anyway, normally people use a download manager and set these to download while they sleep.

Or via their iPhone instruct the server at home to start downloading a file or 9..

I wrote an application that uses SSL web services onto a mate's MS c# developed app. I'm going to write a apache/Objective-C version to sit on my mac mini when it arrives.
