Back in October I started work on a new app for PiBox: an XM radio player. The hardware is an XMPCR, a device sold in the early 2000’s that connected over USB to a PC. The device didn’t last long. I think there was some concern that people would steal […]

I have a tool I wrote called MuseSig that appends random quotes to my email signature. I saw one today that I particularly like: Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety. Nor, are they likely to end up with […]

I completed the port of the Graphics Muse Tools to GIMP 2.2.3 and GTK+ 2.6. The former required only a few minor changes to the use of layer and image menus (primarily) while the latter was more involved. Fortunately, most of this involved changing things like gtk_signal_connect to g_signal_connect. And […]

This past weekend marked the official start of the holiday season in the US. We call it Thanksgiving but it’s really just a 4 day weekend to prep for the craziness of the end-of-year festivities. My family celebrated with dual Thanksgiving dinners – one on Thursday with my inlaws and […]

Ximba issues with XP fixed

Iâ€™ve add the code to xn-todos.c to handle categories created in XNotes but unknown on the Pilot. Itâ€™s pretty straight forward and follows the design spelled out on the Wiki. I doubt Iâ€™ll have much problem with it unless the notes get too large for the Pilot – is there […]

XNotesPlus – pilot support for unknown categories

Iâ€™ve been looking for something like â€œlargestâ€ for some time now. â€œLargestâ€ was a command line tool, for Solaris I believe, that would tell you which were the top 10 largest files on a system. I could easily write a tool like that but I knew someone would have already […]
