Date: 7/4/2009 | Things are looking a lot better for the Lgi ports than 2 weeks ago. I've got the Mac port back to a point where all my apps start and run ok. The issue with the native scrollbars crashing hasn't been resolved but at least I haven't gone backwards.
The Linux port of Lgi is making good progress as well, most of the drawing issues have been fixed, the fallout from the refactoring has been fixed and the apps are starting to work more than fail. Still there are still a few days of little bugs to sort out, like minor painting bugs, missed clicks and layout events, spurious warnings and the like. So... I'm hoping to start doing tri-platform releases by mid year. |

Registering Visual C++ 2008 | |
---|---|
Date: 16/3/2009 | So you need to register Visual C++ 2008?
*sigh* Well, you can sign up for a MS Live ID and go through the loopholes. One thing to note is that you can use any bogas email address you like, they DON'T ACTUALLY CHECK IT! Which is nice I guess. Or alternatively, just use this key: PG1G5VXHH5NTG1 |

Google Adwords | |
---|---|
Date: 11/3/2009 | I've gone and removed all the Google ads off this site. It was fun for a while, but now I don't get paid for it anymore so they're gone. The return on Adwords has gone from very decent to non existent, with zero changes on my part. Maybe I could frig with it for bit to improve it somewhat, but no I have better things to do with my time. |

Minidumps | |
---|---|
Date: 4/3/2009 | I've moved all new Win32 Lgi application builds to output minidumps when they crash (if Dbghelp.dll is present) instead of trying to create there own stack trace. I just found that it's too unreliable.
Recent Visual C++ builds do a fair job of loading the minidumps and telling you about the conditions of the crash, and I have the free version of 2008 installed on my machine. Surprisingly it even works with apps built with Visual C++ 6, which is still my primary compiler on windows (Speed baby... all speed!). I will experiment with optionally reporting the crash dumps back to myself when the application re-starts. Hopefully this will reduce the amount of time it takes to get crashes fixed. |

I Need A New Phone... | |

Date: 25/2/2009 | I'll be working on this sheet over the next week or so... and you can see how things progress.

Update: I've won a k800i on the 'bay ($96aud+s/h) and I'll see how that goes for a month or 2. If it doesn't annoy the snot out of me that'll be it for a year or 2 otherwise I'll chuck it back on the 'bay and try something else. The 6600 slide is a bit steep at the moment though. One of my friends has a k800i so I checked that it plays mpeg4 properly. And while it doesn't have the grunt for higher bitrates I found a reasonable compromise with mp4 (mpeg4 @ 430kbps, 320x240 + aac @ 64kbps). If the video bitrate is too high it skips, like up around 500kbps. I couldn't test seeking and longer movies because they didn't have a memory card. But I'm reasonably sure it'll be ok. If not there is always ebay. Update: The one from ebay wasn't good, all sorts of problems. Wouldn't stay on, screen would go all white and become unresponsive and sometimes wouldn't turn on. Fun fun fun! Fortunately the seller is prepared to accept returns, so I'm back looking for another one as I've already bought a 4gb M2 card. |
