Optical Mouse Cam

e1Wow! What’s a funny thing? Do you ever think how a optical mouse works? Yes! You can turn your mouse into some kind of scanner or camera because it must have a optical sensor (mostly CCD).

People get bored sometimes, and when I get bored I sometimes open up stuff to find out what makes it tick. One time, I did this with an old optical mouse. Well, a mouse only has 2 chips inside: the optical sensor and a chip for the usb/ps2-interfacing. I looked up the datasheet of the optical sensor (which is an ADNS2610) and it told me the sensor has a tiny 18x18 CCD, which can be read out using the serial port (the one which normally interfaces to the PS2/USB-chip).

JAN. 6 7:01 P.M. ET Google Inc. is upping the ante in the online video gold rush, allowing content owners to set their own prices in a bid to create a more flexible alternative to Apple Computer Inc.'s pioneering iTunes store.

Google's video expansion, announced Friday at the Consumer Electronics Show, already has lined up commitments to sell thousands of downloads, including recent television broadcasts of popular CBS shows and professional basketball games, as well as vintage episodes from series that went off the air decades ago.

"It's the biggest marketplace of content that was previously offline and is now brought online," said Jennifer Feikin, director of Google Video.

Double Revenue from AdSense

Take a look! It would be better if you just blend AdSense color, size, and placement into your content.

Now, how easy would it be to raise that 1% to 2%? That’s not a very big jump by any means. Quite likely, you could jump to 2% or even 3% by doing nothing more than tweaking your AdSense colors, ad size and/or placement. Little tweaks. Tiny tweaks. Nothing major at all.

adsense.module with Revenue Sharing for Drupal 4.7.x

 is a way for earning money from your website. However, it would be a problem if your website has more than one person for generating content. This is a kind of a conflict of intrest problem. A workaround is to use channel ID to distinguish contents into groups for each person.

Fortunately, for Drupal 4.6.x, there is adsense.module which supports Revenue Sharing. I then managed to port this feature to CVS so I can use it at howforge.com. You can see the pending issue with my patch at drupal.org or directly download the patch.

nodewords.module for Drupal 4.7.x

If you have to manage your own website, Drupal is the best cadidate  that maximizes its rank on search engines. However, it would be better if you could specify description and keywords meta tags of each page freely.

nodewords.module is the module you want for this case. However, it seems original author of this module don’t have time to actively response to feature requests. My request is to support new forms API of Drupal 4.7.x since I used Drupal 4.7.x right now.
