As this site was down for about 3 weeks I didn’t bother updating. Anyway, here’s 11 and 12!

I’ve not run for a few weeks thanks to moving house and having to find a new route, but today my girlfriend took me on a route she knew

LAUNCH SPRAY MAKER

Ok, it’s had some improvement.  There is basic support for a preview of your spray (using a gif!) and I’ve added some tracking code so I can keep count of users too!  Hope you enjoy!

Felt quite bad about not running last week due to the snow, so I forced myself to run in the rain tonight. It’s pouring down which actually made it more fun than usual
The last point had to be added about 5 minutes after I got back as the GPS stopped working for the last stretch - not the first time it’s done that - quite the annoyance.

Anyway, here’s the goods:

I’ve been tinkering with the tools for making animated textures for the Source gaming engine. Valve actually give away the tool that this runs on, and I’m sure if i read more into it I could remove this tool altogether… but anyway, it works.

You get the option of uploading up to 10 images (including animated gif!) and then you are presented with all of your images (and frames of gif) with the option to select which to use and in what order.

I decided that running yesterday would have been a bit dangerous! Here’s why:

I’ve been looking into a home-wide zone-based music system.  I’ve seen Sonos and the other expensive solutions and then I saw AirTunes - wow.  AirTunes looks pretty simple to set up and feature rich (although FrontRow2 doesn’t support it :().  However, before I spend any money I’d like to have a go at building my own with some kind of a web based media and playlist organiser.

Step in Jinzora.  I’ve used it before for party jukeboxes where you can pick the tunes you want to play next in the kitchen and then they will play when it is their turn.  What I didn’t really play with was the multiple-jukebox feature.  The only requirements is that you use a compatable music playing client.  Realistically this is MPD or Winamp and httpQ.  I’ve got some old Windows Mobile handsets lying about and I think they’d be perfect (Wifi built in, music players, earphone sockets etc).  The problem is I can’t find a decent client that Jinzora can control.

Any ideas?

I’ve kinda made a deal with myself here. I know I said I would increase by a mile every month, but I’m not sure I’m totally comfortable with this distance yet. I’ll have to decide before next Monday though. Another thing on my mind is moving house - I’ll have to make new routes and I’m not sure where to take it.
