eMusic/J 0.17 has been released! I’ll start with the obligitory changelog annotation, even though there’s a fair bit of small, boring stuff in it. Added new set of icons, from Liron Tocker (http://lironbot.com). More on this below. About text box now has a scrollbar (fixes bug #7), changed the look of it a bit to… Read More »
Last week I spent Monday through to Saturday at linux.conf.au, which was a very good conference on Linux stuff. I hoped to write about things as they happened, but lacking a laptop, I was only able to spend an hour or so per day using a computer and so it didn’t happen. So now I’ll… Read More »
Things have been pretty flat out lately. I’ve gotten myself employed again, for a month or so. Should be good for the pocket money. However, with that I’ve been learning my way around the code for a very large and complex application. This is something that causes mental tiredness after several hours, so I’ve been… Read More »
The new version is in the usual place. Well, finally I put the major feature into eMusic/J that I was waiting for before I put out a new release: the drop directory thing. There are a bunch of other changes, and I’ll just put a narrated and abridged version of the changelog here. If a… Read More »

I got a bunch of UI updates in, so it should now look/behave a little bit better. Here’s what’s changed: The display for the title and download status no longer gets ugly when the title is long. Now the download status will always be displayed, and the title truncated. The status is also in bold… Read More »
I found a site loaded with classic, now public domain, movies and shows that I’ve been steadily downloading from for the past few days. There’s a lot of good stuff here, Sherlock Holmes shows (which beat the pants off the more recent shows of CSI: Des Moines, CSI: New York but a Different Part than… Read More »
Well, mostly. I’ve finished rearranging the content on it so that it’s no longer in one great big page. Now all the important stuff is on the front page, and all the stuff that people are only likely to use a little bit are a click away. It still needs a real user manual, but… Read More »
Run to your nearest browser and get your copy now!. I didn’t get the drop directory stuff I hoped done, but the main thing I did get done is the application icon (well, James did that a while back, I just had to find the time to put it in), and a system tray icon.… Read More »
Hopefully tomorrow I’ll find some time to put a bit of work into eMusic/J. In preperation for tidying up the webpage, I’ve moved it to its own group on the wiki, so there is a new URL: http://www.kallisti.net.nz/EMusicJ. This will make it easier to split the page into parts, the homepage having the pertinent information… Read More »
