Update
Date: 30/3/2009
Been a while since I posted something here, so I'll update on a bunch of stuff thats happening.

  • Memecode.com moved to new server hardware a week ago, and there was some downtime as the DNS propagated. If you notice anything out of order, let me know. I'm actively squishing new bugs in the PHP code, as the PHP version is different to the old server and some of the rules have changed.
  • I lost the binaries AND source code to Roll Credits. So over the last week I've been rebuilding it from some backend code that I had from the project. So thats back online as of now.
  • In my work on Roll Credits I had occasion to use the xvid mpeg4 codec. This crashes for me when encoding 640x480. So I downloaded the code, worked out the issue and posted a bug report with analysis. Got an email back this morning saying a patch has been submitted to fix the crash. Yay for open source!
  • As for all things Scribe, I've been working away on the code base, especially on the mail3 format. However there are some quite annoying bugs in the current build that I don't want to release. So I'm trying hard to get them sorted out so I can feel confident it won't suck for you all. Also I've broken the Mac and Linux builds properly so a fair amount of time has been sunken into getting them working again. This is partially because I refactored some parts of Lgi to have more common code, rather than 3 separate lots of code. Which is good for long term maintenance but sucks in the short term.
  • Lots of non software stuff is happening too, I've been recording, writing and playing live music lately (did a wedding gig on the w'end), working on the billy kart for the kids and building other websites (like RosterUs.
  • The first k800i that I bought was a dud, so I sent that back and got a nearly brand new one. And it's pretty good so far, however I was pretty disappointed to find out that it's doesn't support USB 2.0 high speed (i.e. 480kbps). Grrrr is all I can say... USB 2.0 should never have had a "low speed" profile, they really dropped the ball with the naming scheme.
