So as part of preparations for the 5K App I'm writing a few example apps. The first one so far is a 5K Twitter Client, which makes it smaller than the Twitter logo itself (at 5.4K).

Well whilst I've been ill it looks like Ian has been on an organizing rampage. So as well as Aleks talking about Spaceship! we've also got several shorter talks/demos on:
So a while back I implemented a remember me feature for chrss. I said I'd release the code for it and am finally now getting round to it.

The model.py file for chrss, was starting to get a bit big, so …
I finally had a chance to do some more Actionscript coding for the Chumby again. The last widget I did was the bare minimum to get going and this one is only a little more advanced. In particular it's a simple analogue clock. All it does is show the current …
