Try a Story Idea Prompt
So if you are stuck for ideas, here are some prompts:
* What was your favorite childhood pet?
* Where was your most memorable vacation?
* What topic most inspired you in grade school?
* Where is a place in the world you'd like to visit?
* What is the most adventurous thing you have done?
* Who was an influential authority in your subject discipline?
* Or just describe a collection of things such as
o Five attributes of a great writer
o The top technology gadgets of the future
o Most important discoveries in your field
o Favorite cars, vegetables, flowers, tools
o Collection of things that don't belong
Why is it I have such a hard time writing down stories?
/*send the packet*/
send_result = sendto(s, buffer, ETH_FRAME_LEN, 0,
(struct sockaddr*)&socket_address, sizeof(socket_address));
if (send_result == -1) { errorhandling... }
Example 1.6. Receive a RAW ethernet frame
void* buffer = (void*)malloc(ETH_FRAME_LEN); /*Buffer for ethernet frame*/
int length = 0; /*length of the received frame*/
...
length = recvfrom(s, buffer, ETH_FRAME_LEN, 0, NULL, NULL);
if (length == -1) { errorhandling .... }

To decode what the remote was sending, I used an oscilloscope and a small photodiode. The photodiode generates a small amount of voltage when light hits it, and responds to changes in light level quickly enough that the oscilloscope can draw a really nice plot of the signal. I have a Parallax USB oscilloscope, which is perfect for showing the command pulses and is just fast enough to find the modulation frequency. As an aside, I’m really happy with the Parallax oscilloscope for projects like this. It is simple to use and I love being able to save images to share with people.
Here’s what two of the commands from the dimmer remote look like. The top signal is the “fade lights up” command, and the bottom one is “fade lights down”:
I'm working on a project that uses data in JSON format (www.json.org). It took me a while to get it going in processing, so I thought I'd post what I did here. If there's a better way (which undoubtedly there is!), please let me know.

Here are the steps I took (on Windows):
1. Download http://www.json.org/java/json.zip from json.org. Save it in a some directory, which I'll call %DOWNLOAD_HOME%.
2. Unzip it. Be sure you preserve the archive's directory structure (/org/json/) when you unzip the file.
3. Change directory into %DOWNLOAD_HOME%orgjson
