recommend a download counter

I've been trying to find a good download counter. My requirement is simple, just to count how many people has downloaded my software. However there's no such free yet handy stuff. I tried


downloadcounter.com , the pop up ads was really annoying plus, their sever seems not quite stable. When the server breaks down, there's no way to fetch the indirectly linked software.





Finally, Yinwm has created one:

It's free, nimble and stable. Simply register using your email address.

Here's a page using easy counter:

Any one who needs a download hit counter should give it a try.

Camera Phone Filter for the Color Deficient

I've built a small piece of program to enhance the camera phone image for the color blinds. The program works by swapping Red,Green and Blue channels.

Here's the link to the program:
http://www.wam.umd.edu/~xliu10/research/colorshift.html

But since I'm not color deficient, the program may not work as expected for the color deficient people. So if you find any inconvenience or totally wrong about the program. Please let me know by posting to the blog.

Thanks very much.
