I was afraid that might the case, but thanks anyway. Tranferring to my iPod isn't the problem, and yes I could downsample it at that time. The problem is I only have DSL so a 75Mb file can take 10 minutes to download.

Hi Cy Guy,

My feed is just extracting the audio entries from the official Bill Maher podcast; I don't create the audio files (HBO does). I don't know of an online service that will downsample and host the audio (at least not for free). You might be able to set up your podcast sync software to do the downsampling before sending to your listening device, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that either. Sorry!

Thanks for doing this, but is there a way to downsample the audio a bit? The files are still awfully big, and don't really need to be better than 64kbs and you have them as 192kbs - making an hour long show 75Mb.

Thanks! This helped me make my own solution. By-the-way, using /*@//@*/ to force a new line breaks the background color (if you set it to anything but white). I also wanted more control over how lines were broken than the `breaklines' option provides.

I created a short style file:

lstnumbermajic.sty
----------------------------
\newcommand{\lstomitnum}{\global\advance\lst@skipnumbers-1}

\newcommand{\lstcontinue}{\global\advance\lst@skipnumbers-1
\global\advance\c@lstnumber-1}

\newcommand{\lstskipnum}[1]{\addtocounter{lstnumber}{#1}}
------------------------------

Including this in the preamble, lines can be broken with:

1 String MyString= \*@\lstcontinue@*\
"Hello world!"
2 double x;
3 double y; \*@\lstskipnum{8}\lstomitnum@*\
...
13 double z=x+y;

You then just break lines manually, the way you want.

@Bill: No plans to get on Foursquare period, so my Twitter feed is safe :-)

@Phil: The inconsistency is a big problem; see the software bugs I wrote about above with Bluetooth and music playback, specific to HTC's customization of Android. It is definitely affecting developers, though I don't know about the degree. Apparently Google is working on some massive test suite that vendors will have to pass to use the Android name, so that might reduce the bugs a bit. But, there's still the delay in getting new OS versions, which sucks.

Now that Apple has loosened up their developer restrictions a bit, I'd be more open to an iPad, though I don't think I can justify the expense at this point.

2010-10-05T18:25:36.955-07:00

I enjoyed your review!

I'm also a new convert to smartphones. I got my Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S) last month. The phone is awesome. Swype is awesome too.

My biggest long term concern about Android is that the inconsistency of the platform across versions/vendors. Froyo has been out for months. Samsung is still testing their layer on top of it. And I imagine that AT&T will then work on their layer on top of Samsung's layer. Ugh. I haven't written anything for android yet, but I wonder how the inconsistencies will affect developers.

I'd like to get a tablet as well. I share your concerns about Apple, though I wonder whether there will be a decent alternative to the ipad for a couple of years. (Seems that google themselves are downplaying the idea of running Android on a tablet...)

@ergo: So you're on Android too? Regarding podcasts, Google Listen is decent, but actually the playback functionality is kind of buggy. Sometimes I pause a podcast and when I hit play again it just starts from the beginning. But it's close.

I think podcast management needs some serious UI work across the board. Maybe the file format has to be changed so that updates are pushed better to the phone. Something like that at least.

2010-02-15T05:00:12.415-08:00

Hi, tried your idea, works fine in case you have no frame around the listing. But if you have one, it's broken afterwards.

But there is a better (and much easier) solution.
\lstset{breaklines = {true}}

In combination with a minipage around the listing, it works perfect.

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \begin{minipage}{150mm}
    \begin{lstlisting}
>>your code here<<
    \end{lstlisting}
  \end{minipage}
  \caption{your caption}
  \label{your_label}
\end{figure}

I've heard about the water, too, but I had a hard time believing it. I couldn't find a definitive answer on the web, but this claims the water is important:

I'm still not 100% convinced, though.

Hey Jasper, sorry for the very slow response. I haven't had much time at all lately to work on / maintain the script. The fixed height columns should be very doable, but it would require hacking the Javascript, which I don't have time to do right now. As an alternative, you can just shrink your Firefox window height to the desired size.

Truly interesting script. I was wondering whether ...

2009-07-21T06:28:33.171-07:00

Truly interesting script. I was wondering whether it's possible to set a fixed height rather than a fixed amount of columns. For instance I would like short columns of 300px and would like this to result in many columns through which I could then scroll horizontally rather than vertically. Is this possible in the current script or something you are planning to include in future versions perhaps?

Thanks in advance!

Boy, do I love this script. But I've tried to make it work for Salon.com using the following entry in "Included Pages" field:

http://*.salon.com/*print*

An example of a URL of a print-formatted page in Salon is:

Alas, no luck. Any suggestions?
