Directory Info Dump

While doing some work at school, their was an instance that I needed to retrieve a list of all the files located within a folder.

Of course we all know we can use the command prompt and use a print screen to get the list, but I knew I could develop an easier way.

For this reason I present my Directory Info Dump application. It does exactly as its name states. Run it, Select a folder and click Export and it will create a text file on your Desktop with a list of the directory, time stamp as well as all files in that directory and it's sub-directories.

Very simple but very effective.

DirectoryInfoDump is freely available for download here.

Outlook.com, Get a text message notification when receiving new email.

There are many, especially my fellow class mates who are wondering how to receive a text message from outlook when they receive a new email.

With this guide I will describe and illustrate the steps needed in order to set this feature up.

Step 1:
Visit Outlook.com and sign in with your email and pass word.




Step 2:
Now that you are logged in, click the Options button in the top right area, shown in figure 1. This will open the Outlook options menu. In this menu click the "Show All Options" shown in figure 2, and this will take you to your options page.

Now that you are viewing the Options page you will need to add your mobile device to your account before you can start receiving notifications on it. This is how we do this.





Step 3:
Click on the "Phone" tab (figure A) found on the left side of the screen, then click the "Text Messaging" tab (figure B). This will bring you to the screen whe5re you will add your cell phone. Once here click the "Turn On Notifications" (figure C). Clicking this will open a pop-up window asking for your country and carrier.



Step 4:
Enter your country and your cell phone carrier. If your cell phone is provided threw AT&T then select AT&T and click Next.

You will then be asked to enter your 10-digit cell phone number and then click Next.

The Outlook service will send you a text message with a numeric code in it, On this screen it will ask you to enter the code it just sent you in the text message.

Enter the pass code and then click Finish. You you entered the correct code, your cell phone is now linked to your Outlook account.

But in order to receive email notifications, you must set up an Outlook Rule that allows this to happen. In the next steps, I will show you how to create a Rule that tells Outlook to notify you threw text messages.

Step 5:
Now that the pop-up window has closed you need to click on "Set up an email notification using an inbox rule" link, (shown as figure 1)

This will bring up another pop-up window in which you can create the rule to do this type of action.



Step 6:
Once the new pop-up window has opened you will need to select "[Apply to all Messages]" from the first box, When the message arrives, and.. (Fig A)

Then you will need to select  "Send a text message to:" in second box labeled, Do the following, (Fig B)

Then click the Select One link (fig C) this should change to your cellphone number you added earlier.

Then click Save (Fig D).

And that's it!, You should now be able to send a test email your yourself and your phone should ding with a text message from the Outlook service with a brief overview of the email relieved.

To remove your phone number, follow the guide to Step 3, then click the "Delete Settings" link, this will remove your cell phone from your Outlook account.

LIFE & ANT Simulator

LIFE & ANT Simulator is an app I created the shows cellular automation threw basic principles of math. These simulators are known as zero-player games, as the application does not need any user interaction to evolve once given an original state.

 

 

 A basic overview of the simulator:

The simulator has two modes. The LIFE simulator and the ANT simulator. Each one is based off of a different set of rules and will produce different patterns and outcomes.

The LIFE simulator also known as Conway's Game of Life, was first developed in the 1940s by a British mathematician named John Horton Conway. Conway wanted to develop a hypothetical machine that could build copies of itself. He was successful in doing so by a simple set of four rules. When these four rules are placed in a two denominational grid of living and dead "cell" states,  it mimics cellular automation which sparked the wide varieties of micro-analysis fields we see today. (See more info)

The four rules of Conway's Game of Life

• Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbors will die, as if caused from loneliness.
• Any live cell with two or three live neighbors will lives on to the next generation.
• Any live cell with more than three live neighbors will die, as if caused from overcrowding.
• Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbors becomes a living cell, as if by reproduction.

The ANT simulator  also known as Langton's Ant, was first developed in 1986 by Chris Langton. The formula was developed in order to be a two dimensional turing machine. It is based off of two simple rules where a single grid cell interacts with the rest of the grid. The actions taken by the cell is determined if the cell "state" is alive or dead, (lit up or dark). The turing machine is not intended as a practical computing technology, but rather as a hypothetical device representing a computing machine. Turing machines help computer scientists understand the limits of mechanical computation. (See more info)

The two rules of Langton's Ant -  (taking one cell that will "move" around the grid, will be called the "ant")

• If the "ant" lands on a living/white square, turn 90° right, flip the state of the cell to dead/black and move forward one unit
• If the "ant" lands on a dead/black square, turn 90° left, flip the state of the cell to living/white and move forward one unit

  Application Features worth mentioning:

I put a great deal of effort in attempts to make the application fully customizable. This is everything from window size, to grid sizes, to custom colors, to different rendering modes. While you will just need to play with some of the settings to find out what is best for your liking, here is an overview of some of the features you don't really find anywhere else.

• ANT & LIFE simulator in one app.
• Save output as a picture!
• Custom window size.
• Custom grid size.
• Custom grid colors.
• Custom decay colors.
• Adjustable spectrum.
• Different rendering styles
• 100% free and no advertisements, ever!

(from MediaFire)

What is observational precognition?

Observational theories of precognition is a class of para-psychological theories which makes reference to the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. Precognition is this theory is considered, retroactive psychokinesis, but without recourse to any notion of the transmission of psycho-physical energy.

According to some observational theories:

It is at this point of observation of a future event, that the event is, in fact, determined, and, under certain conditions of motivation, randomness and feedback, this future observation can inform the present observer.

So what does all this mean?

Let's look at it as you flipping a coin twenty times. Based on probability you have a 50% chance of guessing the correct side, heads or tails. After guessing the side 20 times and look at your results, probability will say you will get about 10 right and 10 wrong each session. These same rules would apply regardless on how many times you flipped and guessed the side.

How does this relate to precognition?

Have you ever had a moment of something bad about to happen. Or, have a feeling your cell phone is going to ring and then almost as magic and without hint, it does! This is precognition, the ability to predict an event before it has happened.

Theoretical scientists have determined that the effectiveness of the precognitive event factors highly on how dramatic the event is to the observer. This means that things that trigger great emotional responses, positive or negative, have a greater chance of the event being predicted.

We can test this theory!

Once you start the test, the program will offer you two images with red curtains. You can consider these two curtains as a coin, The curtain on the left is heads, the one of the right is tails. On the start of each test the program will flip a coin. It is then your job to guess which side the coin has landed on, left or right.

If you choose incorrectly you will get an image saying wrong choice. But, if you predict the correct side, you will be rewarded with a picture.

Why are we testing this theory with pictures?

The displaying of a picture as the reward for the correct prediction is the key component to testing this theory.

Data shows that images that trigger emotional responses in the observer are more likely to be predicted correctly.

This contradicts the rule of probability that the observer will have a 50% correct guess, regardless of the image being shown as the reward. But constant data shows otherwise. Data shows that photos that the observer reacts emotional to have a greatly higher chance of being predicted compared to images that the observer finds dull or unresponsive to.

Some key features to mention.

There are some key aspects of Predictor that are worth mentioning. Some of these feature are:

• Select a custom image collection.
• Results are recorded for you.
• Experiment timer to track yourself
• A precognition meter that shows your average power
• Download and test your precognitive sense on pictures of kittens.
• Download and test your precognitive sense on pictures of women in swimsuits.

How can I exercise this ability?

Data shows that continued practice with the coin flip prediction will normally yield in higher results. Now, I'm not saying you will be able to predict tomorrows lucky lottery numbers. But the data proves the point that a precognitive ability exists and is worth exploring and exercising, even if its mechanics aren't fully yet understood.

Happy Predicting!
