Mixing down with Mixtikl
I love the new (well not very new) mixdown options in Mixtikl.
Getting apps into iDroid (2)
This wasn’t something I thought would run under iDroid. It is a very simple app. All that happens is some balls float around the screen. The significant thing is that I made it in Processing, so I didn’t think it would work at all on the emulated version of iDroid, but it did!
Getting apps into iDroid (1)
Well it isn’t all plain sailing with iDroid of course, I’ve had quite a few problems getting things to load in it, although some things are just fine.
The one app I really wanted to get running on iDroid was Tasker, which is one of the most excellent Android apps ever in my book. However, I just get this:
Which is of course no fun at all. I may do some research on this, but my guess is that this isn’t going to be readily fixable.
iDroid Loading
I just like the way iDroid loads. It looks like my old 3G is a real computer.
Will it snow?
Everyone says it’s going to snow this weekend and to be fair we haven’t had the heavy snow like last year so perhaps it is overdue.
However, having checked the met office web site several times there no heavy snow predicted so I do wonder what all the fuss is about.
I guess people just love the whole thing of talking about it and anticipating it.
Bhajis on the 3G
Installed. No problem! Great to have it back.
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!
Processing arrives for iOS
A brief play with Processing JS for iOS will tell you that it is very definitely a version 1.0. Having said that, I think it’s a good start and even though I’ve only messed around with it a little so far, but it is possible to get stuff up and running very fast.
This is processing JS and not processing. For me that meant that I’m not as familiar with this version as I am with the regular flavour of processing. Even so, I fiddled with the sample sketch and got it to do a few different things already.
I’m really hoping that this app gets some more functionality soon. Things like a way to export or email the code out would be handy, and a reference manual that’s on the device / app and isn’t just on the web. That would be good.
Starting out with Basic4PPC
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?
