After much delays & procrastination, I have finally released the new version of ClearTemp. I'm so apologetic for the numerous blog comments and e-mails regarding beta test which I did not reply to. I was pretty distracted with several things in my life and kept on delaying the release of this software update. Well, it's finally here. This update is about some new items in the main list, as well as some minor enhancements & fixes. Do grab it here.

I understand that some users would like to be updated via e-mail or other certain channels regarding software updates, specifically for my Windows Mobile apps. There were suggestions for having a subscription feature on this site. I'll seriously consider & go look around for such a module in Joomla to add into the site.

Meanwhile, there are several ways to keep updated:

• Visit this website more requently =P
• Follow the Facebook page.
• Follow me on twitter.
• Subscribe to the RSS feeds. You can even subscribe to category specific feeds like software-related posts (bug reports, future development, version upgrades, etc) or just only on new or updated software announcements.

Loyal users of ClearTemp, be glad that development on the next version of ClearTemp is in progress! I've already added some new features which I would like to have in v1.3.1, and I'm open to more suggestions. Meanwhile, if you would like to help me test a beta version of ClearTemp v1.3.1, simply e-mail me or DM me via twitter to indicate your interest.

Meanwhile, here are some features/updates already implemented in the beta version:

• Added log file of Microsoft My Phone into item list
• Added log file of Windows Live into item list
• Double tap "Custom Files" will open up the options screen for custom files
• Double tap "Google Maps", "Opera Mobile History" and "Opera Mobile Cache" opens the folder link in file explorer
• "Google Maps" now show "0 Byes" instead of "Not Found" if the app is installed
• Double tap unused "custom folder" (those that are not configured) will open up the options screen

Yah, this website was hacked twice & affected by a malicious code for a couple of days over the past week. After cleaning up, it seems that the website is back alive & safe, and I hope such incidents will not return to haunt again.

To sidetrack a little, I would encourage twitter users to follow my twitter account. I usually post more updates & stuff about my website/software over in my tweets as it is relatively more convenient to post short messages via twitter as compared to posting in this blog.

OSVERSIONINFO version;
memset(&version, 0, sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO));
version.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO);

if (GetVersionEx(&version)) {
 	if (version.dwMajorVersion>4) && version.dwMinorVersion>1 && version.dwBuildNumber>23033) {
 		int a = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYCAPTION);
 		int b = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYFIXEDFRAME);
 		int c = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYBORDER);

  		SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, a-b-2*c, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE);

1. Plus! MP3 Audio Convertor - for converting MP3 files to WMA files (unfortunately, this software has been discontinued)
2. dBpoweramp - supports conversion between many types of media file formats (registration needed for converting from other formats to MP3)

4. Mp3tag - batch renaming of files, modifying of ID3 tags, modifying cover images, etc
5. MP3Cutter - extract a section of a MP3 file and save as MP3/WAV. very useful for grabbing a section of a song (e.g. the chorus) for use as ringtone!

1. Firstly, there are 2 important websites to take note of where all the data comes from: PublicTransport@SG and iris NextBus
2. The list of bus stops (with the bus stop codes) which support bus arrival timing forecast for SMRT buses can be taken from here.
3. The list of supported bus stops for SBS buses is alot more extensive though. I haven't found a simple way to "download" the whole list. Anyway, the bus stop code can be queried from mobile iris.
4. The list of bus interchanges (with the bus interchange codes) which support bus departure timing forecast can be taken from this page. Grab the list from the dropdown menu under "Getting Around". However, I suspect this is not the full list of bus interchanges. It could be that this is the list that is supported by SMRT buses and that there are more bus interchanges supported by SBS buses.
5. In order to check SMRT bus arrival timing at a bus stop, make a HTTP GET request to PublicTransport@SG. The parameters are in the format like "submit=submit&bus_stop=28091&bus_service=187".
6. In order to check SBS bus arrival timing, make a HTTP GET request to mobile iris. The parameters are in the format like "stop=28091&svc=154".
7. In order to check SBS bus departure timing at a bus interchange, make a HTTP GET request to mobile iris. The parameters are in the format like "intcode=2200&svc=154&dispsvc=154".
8. Note that for mobile iris, bus service numbers must have exactly 3 digits and an optional alphabet, i.e. use "074", "074M", "174", "174M", "002", etc. For PublicTransport@SG, you do not need to pad the bus service number with zeros.
9. You can also do a partial query by entering only the bus stop or only the bus stop code in mobile iris if you are unsure of one of the fields.
10. Another thing to note is that mobile iris seems to "block" user agents like browsers on Windows Mobile. There are 2 ways to overcome. One way is to use an alternate user agent for your client, e.g. spoof it as Opera Mini.
11. The other way is to grab the session ID by quering the root URL and grabbing the session ID from the forwarded page, e.g. http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/mobileiris/(ts2k1e55xaah50iwodsvjy35)/index.aspx.  Use the session ID as part of the URL for querying bus timing, e.g. http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/mobileiris/(ts2k1e55xaah50iwodsvjy35)/mobresult_dep.aspx?intcode=2200&svc=154&dispsvc=154
