What I'm workin' on

wifight is a free online multi-player multi-game turn-based game service. Is that enough hyphens? It's fun. I'm basu. Say hi in the chat room!
WINDOWS/PALMOS

Debris Visual Art: A long-running art project. It generates surrealistic paintinglike displays from random imagery accumulated from the Internet. The image continually shifts, but just barely too slowly to see. Someday you'll have a dedicated LCD picture frame in your house running this. I have been working on this off and on since about 2001.
WINDOWS

bmem: A simple (very simple) HUD for your PC, showing memory/CPU/disk use. In win32 the disk cache memory and free memory are kind of the same thing but they are reported separately, which is a huge pain. So I was inspired to write bmem. I also tried to make it as tiny and efficient as possible.
WINDOWS

RSXE: This is my RSS/Atom/whatever newsreader. It's kind of approaching alpha 1.0. I use it every day and code up a feature or two when I find something I miss. The goal here is simplicity, efficiency, and speed.
WINDOWS

Hlscript: When a programmer starts a blog, he can either use a pre-existing software package, or write one himself. Guess which option I picked. Hint: this blog runs on it! The design goals here are once again simplicity and speed. And easy hackability/customization. And not requiring a SQL engine. And not requiring too recent a version of PHP. Or browser.
PHP

Listo: A PHP-based personal streaming mp3 server. I wrote this to use with my Treo 650. It has a Web page interface to queue up songs while you stream them via PocketTunes or similar. It uses LAME to transcode songs to a usable bitrate. I use 32-40kbit mono variable bit rate over GPRS/EDGE.

wifight 1.05
Actually it's been out for a little while already, but wifight 1.05 is available for download. The biggest/bestest change is probably that the winclient now updates nice and quick like the Palm client does. And lots of bug fixes. Oh, and running in Classic Apps on the Pre is (basically) supported!

Here's Whats New in 1.05:

  • win32: optimized disk access during updating, much faster now
  • win32: '!' was being interpreted as arrow-up, fixed
  • all: cancelling game browser gamelist fetch didn't close the game browser, fixed
  • all: network code cleanup, fixed some potential bugs that might explain some weirdness
  • all: game screen jumps to latest turn end when tapped even if it is not your turn
  • palm: Pre Classic mode. And I thought supporting treo600s was a pain
  • all: after accepting a draw in the game details screen, the quit button now disappears as it should
  • all: made Disconnect menu option in Game Room screen do confirm popup like other screens
  • win32: added little ? help buttons to show user guide pages like PalmOS has

    See you in the chat room!
