Drafts

This posts are draft for non currently developed projects : either old or futur projects

my current pet projects :

  • modifiying this java tar to provide random access and port it to J2ME CLDC 2.0 & JSR75 canceled, I have no longer a palm T|X to make use of this.

  • expand w2 and add table support to markdown. see markdown extra

  • rewrite w2 in perl. Done, but in php. I wrote nnmc in php instead.

  • a multi computer / single image viewer using tiles : displayator

  • a tile generator from a big picture with both tar and zip outputs.(not yet released)

  • a tiled image viewer with tar input in J2ME (depends on projects 1, 4, 5 ;)). canceled. Same reason as 1.

  • a stand alone iPhone app able to view tiled image generated by project 5.

W2 related :

  • replace the "all pages" view by a hierarchical view. Done.

  • add some blogging support. Done.

Futur :

  • improve utilization of my screens : my Futur Logging Project

  • use lsof -i in conjuction with some graphical traceroute utility to provide a nice map & graph wallpaper.

  • implement some kind of re-write proxy for boingboing.net and some other websites so they are more readable on a palm screen.

Possible uses for a "linux in my pocket" computer (soekris/ gumstix/ buglabs/ spacecube etc ...)

  • wifi streamer to a2dp bluetooth earphones .

  • audio to bluetooth a2dp

  • GPS tracker to update my Futur Logging Project

I no longer use this modification of w2
This web site was based on w2.
I modified it very slightly so that :

  • I can edit pages from my Palm T|X in a more friendly way (there is a link back and a "go" button when you are asked for a password).
  • It adds a mobile stylesheet when you are coming here with Blazer (palm's web browser) or an iPhone.
  • It uses Markdown Extra instead of plain php Markdown (see perl original here), because I really wanted tables, and this site is in php. There is also MultiMarkdown but it seems to only exist in perl so far.
  • It can be placed at the root of a web site directory.

Here is w2's [[README]], included with the distribution.

I have so many screens: my palm T|X, my psp, my 2 phones, my dual screen monitor at work, my laptop screen. Update : my iphone replaced one of my phones and my palm, and i gave my sister custody of my psp.

Most of the time, I think about how to make something useflull to be displayed on one of those screen. for example the PSP and the Palm T|X have pretty good connectivity and could display the summary of some status from some remote. Like my iBook status, or my NAS status. and why not do that as a web page ? then I could display it on most of them, and even as a widget in some kind of dashboard. Or from some other terminal. but then I think about what to present. so here is a list of some stuff that might be nice to keep an eye on.

  • Azureus summary.
  • Weather forecast.
  • Bus schedule-infos.
  • Website status.
  • Spam email count.
  • NAS load.
  • Load of some machines.
  • Link to some usefull site.
  • RSS Feed viewer.
