MiniPedia Released

FLX — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:29:46 +0000

The first public version of MiniPedia has been released! It’s something I’ve been working on for a long while. I wanted something portable and small like TiddlyWiki, but more of the behavior and looks of MediaWiki (the software that runs Wikipedia).

Anyway, I finally had the time to release the first version after lots of private beta testing. Be sure to give it a spin: MiniPedia

Postscriptum: I’ve started working on a new project, a sneak preview here

Prowl 4 Linux

FLX — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:28:40 +0000

Prowl must be one of the best apps that is currently offered on the iPhone. It offers push notifications which can be very easily implemented in a application thanks to the handy API. From the website:

“Prowl is the Growl client for the iPhone OS. Notifications from your Mac or Windows computer are sent to your iPhone or iPod touch using push. Prowl has an extensive API, which allows your scripts to integrate beautifully.”

Mac and Windows is nice but it doesn’t mention Linux support. It does however offer a host of libraries that allow easy integration into your project, but no real app. Until now.

Introducing Prow 4 Linux

It allows easy creation of Prowl messages via command-line, thus also helping you use it in various other apps, like rTorrent. More on that here.

XBMScript released

FLX — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:26:19 +0000

I would like to present to you XBMScript, a fully automatic bash script for effortless installation of XBMC on Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (9.04)! It has a nice menu that takes through the whole installation process with minimal user interaction. Installing XBMC has never been easier! It also automatically downloads the latest Aeon skins (Auriga/Hitched/Showmix) and offers the possibility to do other stuff like the installation of the Xbox DVD remote and execute special commands for the Asrock ION 330.

Don’t wait, check it out here: XBMScript
