http://blog.mikeasoft.com Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:42:47 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en For the past few months I've been working on the Libre.fm music service. It provides Last.fm compatible APIs, allowing you to submit your listening habits and to stream creative commons music. Over the past week I've put together an Android application called Libre Droid, allowing people to stream music from libre.fm ... http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2009/08/05/libre-droid/ A Not-So-Secret Project With Jokosher 0.11.1 on the verge of release I think it's time that I made my not-so-secret project slightly more public. For the past few months I've been slaving away to bring Jokosher to the poor unfortunate souls who, for whatever reason, are still stuck using Windows. ... http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2009/03/17/jokosher-for-windows/ With only my EeePC available (and so no real work to distract me) on the way back from FOSDEM I decided to pass the time by hacking together a little web interface to TangoGPS's public friends server, which allows TangoGPS users to share their location with other Tango users. So ... http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2009/02/10/announcing-tango-friends/ I've just spent the day hacking on FBReader to make it work correctly under OpenMoko (OM2008.*). Until now it's been pretty much unusable due to the GPE version of FBReader expecting you to be using a device that has some physical buttons which then get bound to vital functions like ... http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2008/10/12/fbreader-now-working-on-the-openmoko-freerunner/ Just for a bit of fun I thought I'd see how well Jokosher runs on the Neo FreeRunner mobile phone. It actually seems to be almost usable, I might see about finally looking at bug #228035 (making Jokosher more usable on small screen devices) to make it a bit easier ... http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2008/08/16/jokosher-running-on-the-neo-freerunner/ I've just about finished rewriting the crash protection code for Jokosher. It now supports recovering multiple crashed projects at any time after the fact (instead of forcing you to choose immediately after a crash has occurred). It also checks that the crashed project hasn't changed since the backup was saved ... http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2008/08/10/improved-crash-protection-for-jokosher/ I've just finished adding a new feature for the 0.10 release of Jokosher (scheduled for August). Jokosher can now recover a user's project after a crash: It still needs some testing, but it seems to work acceptably well at the moment and doesn't appear to cause any problems with editing while ... http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2008/05/25/jokosher-crash-recovery/ Who hasn’t dreamt of living aboard a Zeppelin and leisurely cruising around the world? Lacking the millions of pounds necessary to actually do this I decided to have a go at producing a little web comic along similar lines. I don’t know how long I’ll continue it for as it ... http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/10/26/floating-free-web-comic/ Just in time for the new season of LUGRadio starting on Monday, I've created a new PHPBB3 compatible theme for the LUGRadio forums. The hard working trig should have it up on the official forums soon, until then you can have a peek at it on my development installation, although ... http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/09/18/new-lugradio-forums-theme/ Following on from yesterday's post I now have have OpenMoko running on my Treo. When I next have some time to spare I'll have a go at hacking support for the Treo's GSM chip into OpenMoko's gsmd, then it'll be possible to make phone calls through OpenMoko's phone application ... http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/07/01/openmoko-on-a-treo-650/
