As mentioned in the previous post about my arduino doorbell I wanted to get the doorbell and my Chumby talking.
As the Chumby runs Linux, is on the network and is able to run a recent version of Python (2.6) it seemed like it would be pretty easy to …
I've finally managed to finish the Kite Physics Demo I started back in October:
It's more of a plaything than anything else. It did give me a chance to try out writing some physics code again, something I don't get much of a chance to do …
During software development it's key to minimize the time between editing code and seeing the results of a change. During web-development the constant tweaking of CSS/HTML/Javascript etc means you're always reloading the browser to see changes.
At work I do a lot of Java web development, which normally …
Here in Brighton a good number of the bus stops have electronic boards, that tell you when the next buses are due. The data for these boards is available online and even provides data for stops that don't have the electronic boards. In fact there's an free iPhone app available …
Ok so I blogged about a podcatcher/podcast client for the Chumby quite a while ago (August 2008 to be precise). At the time I said I'd tidy things up and release the source code etc. Well that didn't quite happen, but I figured I might as well release the …
A while back I had a go at using the local storage features being added to javascript to create a simple TODO list app. The main focus of the app was getting it all to fit under 5K (5120 bytes), but it was a good test of using a client-side …
I've been writing an application for my other half in recent months to help her organise observations of the children in her class. I've actually written two versions of the app. The first was dubbed "Observertron" and in retrospect was overly complex. After a bit of thought I was able …
So after writing a 5K Twitter Client, a 5K TODO app and a 5K Fullscreen Text Editor I thought that'd be enough example apps to get things started. However while adding a list of app ideas to the 5K App page I suddenly decide that one of the ideas really …
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).
Check out the demo video to see it in action or download 5KTwit …
