Happy Birthday to:

• Christopher Walken - 65
• Me - 31

I've neglected the hell out of my journal lately... Some of that is because nothing is going on... But I have also just been lax, I will try to be better, but... no promises... :)

My sister, tatyana came up this weekend for a weekend of frigid Boston fun... We had a few things lined up to do, but we ended up indoors most of the weekend due to the ( Read more... )

Going out for lunch with Chuck...

In case anyone wondered what the "Not sending the BMessage" problem I was having with my skinned button control... When I overrided BControl::AttachedToWindow() I forgot to invoke the original AttachedToWindow (which meant that the Target wasn't being set as it is supposed to).

Going to bed now... I spent a few hours tonight working on the playlist editor... I solved the BPictureButton flickering bug; i stopped using BPictureButton. :) I instead wrote my own derivative of BControl that instead takes a BBitmap and gives me way more control over the whole situation (and gets rid of the silly need for the BPicture, which I ( Read more... )

I spent quite awhile talking to Chris and Jared last night, which was cool. I laid some foundation and got the first button working on the playlist last night (it is the close button). One annoying thing is that the button (BPictureButton) flickers irritatingly when the window is resized, so I have to figure out what I am doing wrong there (any ( Read more... )

...Here is a screenshot of the playlist work I have been doing for SoundPlay. As you can see I haven't gotten rid of the BScroll* stuff yet.

I finished laying out the playlist plugin for SoundPlay last night, I even have the playlist placed and colored in ( Read more... )

Ok, I really haven't worked on any code since the last time I worked on AliveJournal (which I need to work on again). Today, I got fed up with that and started hacking again. This time, it is something which I consider substantial. I don't use Winamp skins with SoundPlay, mostly because I like the way the BeOS native interface looks. But every ( Read more... )

Greeting from BeOS. Ever since I came home I have been without network access on my personal PC, instead using my father's machine (and its cable modem) when I needed to "get out". A few people know that I have had a free shell account with a certain ISP from back when I worked at Sears. One of the reps of the ISP came in asking me to push their ( Read more... )

I hacked together one last VoiceXML app tonight, this time at extension 05038. This one reads the latest 5 headlines from BeNews and allows you to request an entire story be read to you. That's enough for now. :)
