Sorry if this is well known but Googling for my answer only came up with links about making Google Wave gadgets.
My question is, are there any Google Wave gadgets that allow for better collaborative code editing? I mean, I can set the font to fixed width etc., but are their any gadgets designed for it?
Responses shouldn't include anything about git or svn. I use those when I want to use those. This is about Google Wave!
Here is a huge list of robots available for Wave: http://www.chaaps.com/huge-list-of-125-google-wave-robots-add-bots-and-enjoy-wave.html
Maybe there is one in there?
Don't know how well it works but found an extension called CodeBot.

-- its a work in progress. Let me know if you want the source code.
I will package it and release it or something like it for the next WHIFF
release.

I want to add a similar feature to a tool I'm making. I'm interested in how it works code-wise. I want to be able get an html page and exclude all but the article.
The Readability project does something similar for chrome and iOS. I'm not sure how it detects the content automatically but I know that Readability has an API for people who want to integrate it's features. You might want to check that out.

If you're working with Ruby, you could use Pismo. It extracts an article from a given document.
I know the ESC key does code completion, but is there a way to get a pop-up(tool-tip I guess) that shows you all the possible choices for a piece of code? As an example, it would be nice when writing Javascript to get a list of available actions. Other apps I've used like Coda do this. I'd like to check out Textmate but I have a hard time getting past this missing feature which I find pretty valuable, particularly as a fairly new programmer who likes to see what options are there as it's a bit of a learning tool for me also. I thought I had found a plugin like what I'm looking for, Dialog2, but it seems to have disappeared as it was meant to be built-in to the never-released TM2.
I've looked around a fair bit for the answer to this question and figured this was my next best option. Thanks.
I don't have Textmate available to try it out, but I believe that option-Esc is supposed to show you the list of possible code completions.
Check out subtleGradient's tmbundle: https://github.com/subtleGradient/javascript.tmbundle
It knows how to auto-wrap for arrays, and objects. Documentation look-up too.
I've seen many people saying XRCed very strong "if you have learned how to use it". Unfortuntately, there're few documents about it, and many of the links on SF.net home page is 404 now.
The best I can found is XRCed Tutorial, however it is too primitive - so, does anyone have some idea for where can I find better documents about it?
Just a suggestion; have you tried wxFormBuilder? XRCed seems a little outdated (hasn't been updated for a while), and it does the same thing as wxFB. I've been using wxFB for a while in several projects and it's a life saver.
Alongside the already mentioned wxFormBuilder, I'm going to throw in wxGlade, as well. While I prefer wxFormbuilders GUI, I found it to be lacking in the available widgets. So I moved to wxGlade based on the amount of widgets it offers.
Both can create XRC files (and some other codes like C++ and python) and I think both are actively maintained. I think XRCed hasn't been updated since 2007.
For ease of use, I would go with wxFormBuilder. If you want to use various different widgets, for the moment, go with wxGlade. I don't know if wxFormbuilder is planning on incorporating ToggleButtons and the like in their future releases. It isn't in the one that I am using...
I am trying to find a good site with wav sounds preferebly free that i can use in messages of type.. Info, Warning, Critical and such.
Sadly so far most of the wav sound sites that i have encountered have irrelevant sounds for software development use.
Edit. Just to clarify, i am targeting .NET CF C#. I am aware of system sounds and looking for something more than that. Thank you.
You should honour the sounds that the user has chosen in their selected theme e.g.
System.Media.SystemSounds.Asterisk.Play();
EDIT - Example is c# but all systems should have an equivilent API. This allows the user to choose the sounds they want to hear. Devising your own selection of noises is making needless work for yourself and may confuse or annoy.
Why don't you use the sounds that are included in Windows by default? They have a whole set so that you can change the notification sounds yourself, so there should be plenty to choose from.
You could try freesound
http://www.freesound.org/
The license on most of those sounds is CC SA-BY 1.0 (noncommercial) I think... that's a problem in some cases (e.g. Fedora won't take non-commercial.)

You could always be a bit fancier and use some speech... http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
Is it possible to access the iSight camera on a macbook programmatically? By this I mean I would like to be able to just grab still frames from the iSight camera on command and then do something with them. If so, is it only accessible using objective c, or could other languages be used as well?
You should check out the QTKit Capture documentation.
On Leopard, you can get at all of it over the RubyCocoa bridge:
require 'osx/cocoa'
OSX.require_framework("/System/Library/Frameworks/QTKit.framework")
OSX::QTCaptureDevice.inputDevices.each do |device|
puts device.localizedDisplayName
end
I don't have a Mac here, but there is some Documentation up here:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Conceptual/iSightProgGuide/01introduction/chapter_1_section_1.html
It looks like you have to go through the QuickTime API. There is supposed to be a Sample Project called "MungGrab" which could be worth a look according to this thread.
If you poke around Apple's mailing lists you can find some code to do it in Java as well. Here's a simple example suitable for capturing individual frames, and here's a more complicated one that's fast enough to display live video.
There's a command line utility called isightcapture that does more or less what you want to do. You could probably get the code from the developer (his e-mail address is in the readme you get when you download the utility).
One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far is the IKPictureTaker, which is part of Image Kit. This will come up with the standard OS provided panel to take pictures though, with all the possible filter functionality etc. included. I'm not sure if that's what you want.
I suppose you can use it from other languages as well, considering there are things like cocoa bridges but I have no experience with them.
Googling also came up with another question on stackoverflow that seems to address this issue.
Aside from ObjC, you can use the PyObjC or RubyCocoa bindings to access it also. If you're not picky about which language, I'd say use Ruby, as PyObjC is horribly badly documented (even the official Apple page on it refers to the old version, not the one that came with OS X Leopard)
Quartz Composer is probably the easiest way to access it, and .quartz files can be embed in applications pretty easily (and the data piped out to ObjC or such)
Also, I suppose there should be an example or two of this in the /Developer/Examples/
From a related question which specifically asked the solution to be pythonic, you should give a try to motmot's camiface library from Andrew Straw. It also works with firewire cameras, but it works also with the isight, which is what you are looking for.
From the tutorial:
import motmot.cam_iface.cam_iface_ctypes as cam_iface
import numpy as np
mode_num = 0
device_num = 0
num_buffers = 32
cam = cam_iface.Camera(device_num,num_buffers,mode_num)
cam.start_camera()
frame = np.asarray(cam.grab_next_frame_blocking())
print 'grabbed frame with shape %s'%(frame.shape,)
