Pixilang 3.2 arrives

Posted by on in Creative Process, Making things, Mobile Applications, Tech

I haven’t used Pixilang for a long time and so it’s great to see a new version and one with some really interesting new features like:

  • universal containers (pixi-container) for any type of data;
  • dynamically typed variables (for integer or floating point numbers);
  • functions for sound synthesis and recording;
  • functions for block data processing;
  • supported formats: WAV, PNG, JPG;
  • MIDI In/Out.

Of course, or most interest is the functions for sound synthesis and recording and the MIDI in/out as well. Sadly it seems that there’s no Palm OS version though, so I’ll be using it on Windows Mobile.

ZX on 3G

Getting some music software running on my Jailbroken 3G. Not sounding great so far, but let’s see how it goes. More soon.

This morning’s Music App (part 1)

Posted by on in Creative Process, Mobile Applications, Music

Aurora Sound Studio has been around for a while. First on Windows Mobile and now on iOS. It’s a great music making app, and one that I’ve too long overlooked. So I went back to it this morning, albeit briefly, and was surprised to find some nice stuff in there that I must have made ages ago.

It’s always nice to get a little surprise like that and remember (or not remember) tracks partially made and sitting around just waiting for you to rediscover them.

iDroid on my 3G, a bit of an update

Posted by on in TV

So I’ve actually got an Android app running on my 3G under iDroid, and it actually works. It doesn’t work very well, but it does work. The app I managed to get running was Beat Dialer. The other app I tried to get to work was Tasker, but for reasons that I just don’t understand it will not install at all. Which is a shame really.

G1 is go!

Posted by on in Tech

Well I’ve finally got my G1 up and running again. It’s taken a while to get this far, and it’s really just the beginning as it’s currently running Android 1.5 and I’d like to see how far I can take it. Hopefully up to 2.1, but we’ll see.

I have to say that T-Mobile were really helpful getting things working for me. They were brilliant. My plan is to get it working as a remote security scanner. We’ll see if I can make it work effectively.
