To help people out, I've drawn the approximate size and location of the plastic retainer clips holding the liveview together in red on this image.

OK, ok, I couldn't resist any longer, I had to open the liveview up.

I've just checked in the final piece of the LiveView protocol.

I bought one of those wee Sony LiveView devices during the holidays.

Hi, just created a new release (0.2) of jrename, available here.

I just found out earlier today that redbus wasn't showing up on certain devices, specifically "small screen" phones.

Finally got some time to update this a bit: - Get timed events working - freefall and z-life should now work properly. - Add about page. - Sort out licensing.

Hi, just updated Mangle to 0.2.

As a slight break from KIF, I decided to fix another annoyance with my kindle: the built in manga reader.

This relase has a lot of bugfixes.

A few more fixes and tweaks completed...

Update: Whoops, now on 0.2.1 - just fixed a hang if you press HOME with a file selector dialogue open!

I've just realised that the zmpp GUI "zmpp-android" that I was basing my interaction with the VM on is obviously a very early prototype; many things are missing from it.

I've been working with a redbus user today to fix a mysterious crash in the view maps GUI.

Just released a new version which I'm hoping will fix the crashes I (and others) have been seeing in the nearby stops map.

Wow, this sort of thing seems to be in the news these days!

Investigating decompiled obfuscated Java code is interesting.

Rather surprisingly, it just started working!

I've now created a valid java keystore in /var/local/java/developer.keystore.

My latest gadget is a kindle 3, and of course I want to hack it.

Hmm, not posted anything on here for ages!

I've just noticed the android market developer console has finally gained a "Comments" link where you can see the comments people have submitted on your app.

I released the latest redbus sometime this morning; its looking good, not had any negative reports (and some very positive ones), so I hope I managed to zap all the bugs caused by the optimisations.

Well, I've just been putting the finishing touches on redbus' last major feature: bus stop location data updates.

Can't sleep again due to too many geeky things flying about in my head, gah!

In celebration of passing 1000 downloads, I've just released a new version with a lot of work on the map GUI. :)

Woohoo!

I've just noticed the Edinburgh Bus Tracker has vanished from the Android market ; I've had independent confirmations from multiple people.

I see there's been a 2.1 ROM for the Hero relased over at villainrom.

Another hour's development this morning, and I now have a bus stop proximity alarm!

Cool, I see we now have a competitor on the edinburgh bus tracking scene :)

Aww, isn't it cute.

disca from the joggler.info forums kindly sent me an update to my sound patch which fixes any crackling on the external audio jack.

I was asked for a summary of my USB patches: basically they work on the HTC Hero under 2.6.27/Android1.5 with a few small issues, and should be portable to other 1.5 kernels without too much hassle.

Hi, I've deicded to release the current version (v23) of the patch for people to play with.

The main problem with the unloadable function/host driver modules was that the "vold" android userspace daemon really didn't like the USB mass storage /sys entries not being present.

This evening, I've decided to go back to my older codebase with the load/unload modules to switch between device and host mode approach.

I finally made some progress on the Android USB code last night; I've got the codeaurora USB host/function code pretty much integrated into the Hero source tree: it builds cleanly.

OKdoke, some more joggler code ready.

As part of the joggler work, I've developed a set of tools for pulling EFI firmware images apart.

Hi, apologies to anyone wanting the Hero USB stuff, I've been distracted by messing with the O2 Joggler this week.

Hi, quick update on the status of this.

USB patch for host+function mode here. it \is\ still unstable as unloading/loading the drivers hangs the phone after a few times.

This evening, I've finally been testing out my new function driver code.

Phew, the last few days have involved hacking in support for the Checkpoint SecuRemote proprietary VPN support to the standard "racoon" IPSEC IKE daemon.
