Getting some music software running on my Jailbroken 3G. Not sounding great so far, but let’s see how it goes. More soon.
Category: Tech
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.
Processing Book
I had forgotten all about this book and found it this morning so it was my companion on the train this morning, and there’s good stuff on using text in there, so hopefully I’ll get a scene done in a few days.
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.
G1 is go!
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.
What can you do with an old PDA?
I still have a number of old devices which are for the most part doing nothing whatsoever. So I started to wonder what I could do with them. Especially my Dell Axim x51. It’s a nice device, but I really don’t use it for music anymore, nor do I really use it for anything. It seems a shame to just sell it off as I’m sure I’d regret it. I’d like it to have a reasonable use for it.
So I’m going to have a nose around and see if there’s a way to get some more life out of it.
Trying out Artisteer
I’ve been meaning to get a better template for this blog, but I don’t really want to get my head deep into WordPress theme making, so I thought I’d try out Artisteer, and it isn’t half bad you know. Really quite straightforward for making WordPress themes and it does more beside, although I’m not entire sure I’ll use much more of the functionality.
So if you see a new look here in the next week or two, you’ll know how I did it.
Making my G1 useful
I remembered that I still have an old Android G1 knocking around. So I thought I’d upgrade it and see how useful it could be, perhaps using it with Tasker and PAW Server. It’s going to take a little while to get it all up and running though as this old G1 is on Android 1.5.
One thing that is quite interesting though is the ability to connect a G1 to an Arduino, with a little messing about of course. I might just give that a go.
MixPad running under StyleTap on my 3G
I got MixPad (Palm OS MIDI player / mixer) onto my 3G a few days ago, but I only got some MIDI files loaded today. The results? Excellent. MixPad used the KriKit audio engine and played files back just fine.
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.
Running iziBasic and ViziBasic under StyleTap
So today is my last day of using the StyleTap trial. I knew that I’d have to get the last bit of testing done today to see if I could use iziBasic and ViziBasic on the emulator. The short answer? You can. In fact, in some ways they work better, especially in terms of being able to zoom the screen, which is very handy when you’re not using a stylus.
So I ran a ‘generate code and compile’, from Vizibasic, and that worked fine, and a compile from iziBasic and that worked too. All systems go then. Looks like I’ll be buying StyleTap after all!
