Now there’s a Romo community

Posted by on in Robotics

Which is great news of course. I’m still really looking forward to getting mine and trying it out. I hope it won’t be too much longer to wait.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then you can find out what Romo is about here.

Looking forward to Concretedog’s new album

Posted by on in Friends, Music

It’s due out this Sunday and I just know it’ll be amazing. I’ve heard snippets and they’re great. If you don’t know Concretedog’s material, his music and hand made instruments you should take a look at his blog.

You won’t be disappointed.

Finding old Palm OS apps I’d started to make

Posted by on in Making things, Mobile Applications

In reviving the Tungsten C I discovered an SD card that I must have forgotten about. It had a load of test builds of Palm OS apps that I started years ago and never finished, but it’s interesting to go back and look at them. A few are even partially functional too.

What I love to see is the icons I made for them. My favourite being tDrum2, sQeeQ, and SliderOn in the picture above. Of these only one actually works, but I’ll take more pictures of the apps and show you what I mean. More soon.

Well that didn’t work then did it

I thought it would a great idea to get an old bluetooth keyboard running on my Axim, but this one doesn’t seem to want to even switch on as yet! Just my luck. Trying to get text into a windows mobile keyboard using a stylus is no fun at all!

Starting out with Basic4PPC

Posted by on in Making things, Tech

It is pretty retro I know, but it is sort of fun to mess around with things like Basic4ppc to see what I can make. Having said that there is the small problem of what actually to make using b4ppc.

You can’t really make any worthwhile music app with this language, and it isn’t too useful for anything net related. So, what should I make with it?
