As for as iOS goes it is amazing for music making apps. That’s a given. So I thought I’d share my music home screen.
Day: January 26, 2012
The 21st of April is Record Store Day!
So says the ever wonderful Modern DJ, so it’s worth putting the date in your diary if that’s your sort of thing anyway.
Starting Basic 4 PPC
I’ve started messing about with Basic4PPC again. I know that Windows Mobile is totally dead now, but I like to mess about with stuff like this to see what I can make it do, and it is quite good fun too!
Pixilang Example files
The new version of Pixilang is already looking pretty amazing. I tried out a few of the examples last night and they were very promising. So I guess I might try my hand at some Pixilang soon!
Finding software for older platforms
The recent update to Pixilang made me try to find a decent text editor for my Axim Windows Mobile device, which wasn’t that easy. In fact, I found that there were only about 3 text editors that were even workable for my device. It made me realise that it isn’t easy to find software for aged software platforms, especially not terribly popular ones.
When I was looking for Einstein (the Newton emulator for Android) I realised that the Newton was very well supported, but that’s not true of everything in the older mobile world. So it got me thinking about setting up a site/store/repository for this stuff. Sounds like loads of work though! Maybe someone else will do it.
I just don’t seem to be buying apps right now!
Bizarre as it might seem I don’t think I’ve bought an app for ages now. It does feel very odd, but I haven’t bought one all year I think. I haven’t even downloaded very many free iOS apps either. On Android it is slightly different, but I think my purchases may total just 2 or 3 so far. Even so, it’s nothing at the moment. Not compared to what my app consumption was.
