Alfred md5 Extension

by Sam on 01/17/2012

While working at Netsells, I’ve constantly found myself in need of converting a string to an md5 hash. This took too many steps to do, so I created an extension for the marvellous Alfred.

Once installed, you simply launch Alfred (I use cmd+space), type in md5 with a space followed by the string you wish to hash.

Once it’s done, you can paste it wherever you need to :) a35a88e89a88dc8e6a7a8dfb0104fdb4

PlusLimit – a usage tracker for plusnet

by Sam on 11/1/2011

I’ve recently moved over to Plusnet as my broadband provider as I fancied myself a contract-less broadband due to me having to move out of my flat once I finish uni in May time. One thing that bugged me (having a 60GB allowance) was that there was no iPhone app, mobile site or API to view my current usage without loading their big and slow website.

So… I decided to make my own API and iPhone app ;) In the first version (currently in a closed beta). I’ve started off simple and only show your usage this month (as seen in the post’s header image). With plans to extend to a day-by-day usage view and possible history if people want it.

Update: The app has been submitted to the app store, keep a look out for when it goes live! (I’m guessing around Wednesday ish)

Thanks to @AceJon for the icon! :)
