I’ve written a plugin app for Tasker which
allows running rsync over SSH from your Android device.
This currently has some rough edges (no support for host-key verification,
unclear error messages) but I’m using it on a daily basis to backup files from
and sync photos & music to my phone and am pleased to report that it works well.
Sadly Google rejected my submission of this app to the Play Store (and my
subsequent appeal), due to the use of the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission
which is needed for the app to be at all useful. This unfortunately means that
the app has to be manually downloaded and installed but I will be adding an
update notification in the near future to make it easier to keep updated.
I’ve shared a new utility I’ve written to log sensor data from my Remeha boiler
in the hope it will prove useful.
Although written about a different model of boiler with a newer protocol, I
found Robert Hekkers’ blog posts about the protocol of his Remeha
Calenta a
useful starting point.
I’ve extracted the BBC image format loading code from the BBC Graphics
Viewer, made it a stand-alone cross-platform library with C
and C++ bindings and called it libbeebimage. This
is what I’m using to convert images included in the 8-Bit Software Online
Conversion via a ruby extension written in C.
I’d like to introduce a new project - the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion.
8-Bit Software was a public domain software library and floppy disk based magazine for the owners of BBC computers, which was published between 1990 and 1998, and contains a wealth of information about BBC computers.
The magazine disk images are available elsewhere online, but to read the disk images, a BBC emulator (or BBC) is required. This makes them difficult to access easily, and searching for obscure BBC information contained in the magazines doesn’t usually turn up any information from search engines.
I’ve currently only converted a single issue: (the fairly arbitarily chosen) Issue 64, but as the conversion is fully automated, I should be able to add more issues as time and enthusiasm permit.
So, check it out, and also feel
free to let me
know if you find any bugs, or if you’ve got any comments.
I am pleased to announce the release of a new tool - a utility for viewing and converting images originally created on a BBC computer. Get BBC Graphics Viewer.
I am pleased to announce a new tool - a utility for downloading radio station content. Get Radio Downloader here.
