:. They call me a jerk, once they get to know me

But they don't stop calling

I'm in the process of rebuilding this website. Same stupid content. New stupid layout.

Finally! Introducing: what I'm tentatively calling iPhoneHome. I've been working on this project for a while, trying to build a modularized system for rapid expansion, and it's finally ready for a public beta.

The idea behind this system is a personalize website for mobile devices that looks and acts like an iPhone application. Additional modules can be added and configured per-user, dropped into folders, and rearranged through a web console administration.

An example (click to see live):

Purchased an iPhone today. I swear I'm not just a bandwagonning, bragging, blasphemous, bothersome brother though. I'm posting here because you may expect some potentially new apps courtesy of yours truly.

Keep on the look out.

I've released a new version of the MP3 secretary this morning. In this release:

Bug fixes:
:. directories that became unavailable caused some unhandled exceptions)

Feature additions:
:. the program now can store all your settings to be restored when you restart the application
:. now has a "whitelist" in addition to the "blacklist"
:. now adds a timestamp to transfer information, so you can see when you last had songs transferred

As usual, the app (and screenshots) are available directly at the link at the top of this post or directly here

:. New version of MP3 Secretary released
Wed, 09/17/2008 07:41:42 @ http://www.eskibars.com/projects/mp3secretary

I wish I had more time to work on this, but I've been pretty busy lately. This version fixes a crash when the directory crawler thread stumbled upon a file with no extension.

It also now has an option to blacklist words in the file / directory name. For example, if you have a bunch of songs in a "christmas" subdirectory that you don't want to listen to during most of the year, just add "christmas" to the blacklist words and it will ignore this directory.

:. Active Vision
Tue, 08/05/2008 10:34:48 @ http://www.eskibars.com/projects/active_vision

I also realized today that somehow the "active vision" project hadn't made the move to the new layout. I've added this to the list of projects

:. Facebook Games
Mon, 08/04/2008 10:47:21 @ http://fb.eskibars.com

Somehow, when I was creating the new projects layout, I had forgotten to add the facebook games I had made last Spring. I've added these to the "other projects" section.

:. Genetic Algorithm Update
Mon, 08/04/2008 10:09:58 @ http://www.eskibars.com/projects/genetic_algorithm

I added a few images to the genetic algorithm antenna modification project page. These are just renderings of the antenna / gain in 3-D, as output by the NEC2 modelling.
