I’m not having much luck with uploading this recording to RJDJ at the moment.

At times wonderful, and at times totally frustrating too. That’s technology, my experience of it anyway. I do a lot of stuff with technology and I suspect I will continue to do that.
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
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?
GuitarJack and some experimentation
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now although I’d wanted to use my iPad 2, but it seems now that it won’t be usable as an input device for some reason. Anyway, I used the GuitarJack in my iPhone 4 and it works very well. Using it with GuitarTone is good too, which I wasn’t expecting as what I wanted to achieve was a non-guitar like sound. I got close enough.
My Music Home Screen
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.
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!
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.
And that’s on Android too
I meant to say that that processing sketch also works really well on my Android phone under 2.2. Nice to be able to run this stuff on Android too.
Hello Einstein
Einstein running on Android. So far I haven’t been able to do much with it as it’s so slow, but I’ll keep at it and see how I get on with it.
Testing StyleTap on the 3G again
It was around this time last year that I was experimenting with running various things on my iPhone 3G. Mainly I was trying out Android from the iDroid project, and I’ve been doing that again, but I’m also having a go with StyleTap the Palm OS emulator for jailbroken iPhones. Whilst I’m not holding out too much hope for it to be useful for any old music apps on the Palm, it may have some use elsewhere in the Palm OS universe.
Anyway, I don’t have long to see if it’s useful as I’ve only got 10 days left of the trial period to go before I have to get a licence.
