I have made an app that reads the names of movies from files given to it and retrieves IMDB Ratings for each. It uses awesome http://www.omdbapi.com/ API to fetch data. [caption id="attachment_201" align="aligncenter" width="733"] Folder Movie Data[/caption] It was inspired originally from http://legaloslotr.github.com/mdb/ . MDB has to be installed to work but mine version need not be installed but files have to be dragged and dropped everytime. I will try to improve it more in future using newer HTML5 features like localstorage but it will take time. Give it a go at http://pumpndump.in/fmd Also give your valuable feedback and comments. Source code will also be published soon at Git Hub

MDMA is a mobile network monitoring application. It shows information such as QoS, detailed signal information. I like to use MDMA rather than Huawei dashboards. It’s lightweight and much faster than Huawei Dashboards. MDMA 1.1.0.0 requires you to have connection entry ‘ MDMA ’ by default otherwise you get an error.
