Creating Ringtones for iPhone
Came across an excellent website that enables people to convert media resources to those suitable for mobile devices, including iPhone! You may following the link here:
You need to register in order to use the website. This is because they also let you share your wallpapers and ringtones with friends. Once you upload you media, set up which portion you would like to keep and mobilespin will do the clipping and conversion for you. The resultant file can be sent to through an email link, or directly downloaded.

Stumble upon this interesting website. Interesting idea. Anyone who likes keeping some question marks in their minds must check it out!
My solution to the first question:
foldl (+) 0 [x | x<-[1..1000], x `mod` 3 == 0 || x `mod` 5 == 0]
How do you use Haskell at work?
Haskell is a beautiful language. I love Python too, but I fell in love with Haskell at first glance.
However, my problem is that I don’t know how to make use of it. Of course, I am definitely an amateur in programming, having had some programming courses in Uni, but mainly relied on internet resources. But I can figure out more ways of using Python.
So far, what I can do with haskell is to use it for office automation. Yeah, I kinda of use it the same way I used python.
I am a actuarial student, most of my stuff is in Excel; for actuarial computing, we use specialized actuairal software. How can I use Haskell in a more meaningful way?
How do you use Haskell? Especially when you are not a programmer. Thanks to whoever shares.

Monty Carlo Simulation in Haskell
Just created a simple simulation of the Monty Carlo game using Haskell. Apparently the code above did not fully utilize the powerful syntax of Haskell, but it is my first product. Most importantly, it gives me the right conclusion the probability of winning by staying/switching is 33.3%/66.7%. So remember, always choose to switch!
At first it was tricky to get the types correct. And it was tricky about the indentation too. After all, it was fun and I have learnt something that I already knew in a practical way. I will feed in the details tomorrow night, if I have time ^_^.
Haskell resources
As one of my new year resolution, I started to learn a new language: Haskell. Why? It is different. It is so different from most of the languages that I knew, that at first the syntax seems so unnatural. However, after a few try-out, I cannot help thinking that I may be able to do something really serious using this brilliant language.
Here are some resources, for my own convenience, and for yours in case you are also a geeky person:
http://www.haskell.org/The center of the Haskell world
GlasGow Haskell Compiler The de facto state of art Haskell compiler
Real World Haskell You can read this fantastic e-book on-line for FREE! Great for an introduction with just enough details
Haskell Wiki We just can’t get enough of wiki’s!
