I’ve been lurking around openprocessing of late, using it to find useful processing code to serve as a starting point for some of my own experiments. If you don’t know openprocessing, it’s a great place for inspiration and to see what other people have made using processing. You can find it here.

Java on StyleTap on 3G
Another small step forward is getting Java working on the StyleTap Palm OS emulator running on a jailbroken iPhone 3G. It should be said that it isn’t particularly useful although it is an interesting thing to do just to see if it works.
Trouble with RJDJ uploads
I’m not having much luck with uploading this recording to RJDJ at the moment.
8th Doctor: Caerdroia
Whilst this story is still part of this rather large story arc it wasn’t bad at all really. Some good ideas and 3 doctors! I won’t spoil the story on the off chance you plan to listen to it, but it did lead to a few slightly unexpected twists.
New menu, ‘Apps’
I know it’s a bit of a cliche really, everything is about apps now isn’t it. You just can’t get away from it really. Even so, there’s now an ‘Apps’ menu on the blog. What does it mean? Well it’s more for web apps that run on the site really, and nothing to do with iOS or Android apps at all.
So hopefully this section will expand over the next few months with some more interesting apps arriving. We’ll see. I’ll keep you posted.
SpectrumGen sounds in the Forbidden Planet-esque zone
Concretedog: The Coracle And The Yellow Shell
I just bought this as soon as I knew it was available this morning, and I’m listening to it now as I expect to be listening to it for a few days. Wonderful stuff.

The TC doesn’t like rDrum
I”m not sure that the old Tungsten C is quite as ok as I thought. I tried to run this app on it, and after the start up screen, this is what I got. Then the TC decided that it needed a full reboot.
It’s not about the numbers
When I was writing Palm Sounds I took the decision, or rather the intention not to use analytics like google analytics as I realised that if you’re writing about something you love then why are you looking at the numbers all the time?
When google put an analytics module into blogger I lapsed a little and couldn’t help myself in checking the stats, but it didn’t tell me anything I didn’t really know intuitively myself. I think that unless you’re running a business of some kind those stat counters do nothing but discourage you or make you wonder who is reading and why.
I’m trying hard not to look at the stats on this site as for the most part I have no interest in them.
So if you’re reading this then please enjoy the site. I’ve no idea that you’re here.
A side order of Instagram
In case you hadn’t noticed I’ve put in a feed from my instagram account in the sidebar.
I like instagram. You can find some great shots and see some really interesting pictures.
