Based on an idea I "borrowed" from Jacob Fresco, I've added the ability to insert the current Hebrew Date (with sunset correction!) anywhere in a theme.
Simply add <?php if (function_exists('hebrewDateCurrent')) { hebrewDateCurrent();} ?> to a theme.
The code can be downloaded Hebrew Dates release page under the Software section.
The code needs some major cleanup, but not today...
As you may have seen earlier, I'd picked up development of the Hebrew Date plugin from KosherJava. Today, I'm officially releasing version 1.0.0. Much of the logic is rewritten, but most of the credit goes to KosherJava!
To install, download the plugin (from here),activate, and enjoy!
There are lots of fun config options under the options tab. Specifically, in order to use the sunset correction (evening dates will have the correct Hebrew date), you need to provide a latitude and longitude.
Please note that this code has only been tested on WP 2.0+. It may work on 1.5, but I'm not sure.
I recently needed an application to save data from a serial port to a text file. Although most terminal emulators like ProComm can handle this, it's quite a lot of overhead for such a simple task. I came up with the following solution, which works for Windows only (b/c 90% of the interesting code is the low level serial interface, it would be totally different on Linux).
The code can be downloaded as either source code or a compiled EXE from the LogSer release page under the Software section. To compile the source for yourself, simply run cl LogSer.cpp to compile with MS's Visual Studio command line compilers.
Enjoy

I've added a few more things to the Hebrew Dates plugin patches I mentioned earlier.
