Squishy, the Linux box, runs MythTV. It’s a bit tricky to turn off so it would be nice to have it turn off on pressing the power button. Turns out Ubuntu has everything there by default provided by acpi, acpid, and acpi-support.
Very impressed so far. Purchased a Dick Smith XH8227 802.11g USB network adapter as they were on closeout for a reasonable price. There are efforts to get a driver going natively using the prism54.
My web host took down my account due to a WordPress administration script taking up all of the CPU. For some reason four copies of the wp-admin/categories.php script were spinning pushing the load average above 20.
Fuse is a quite complete Spectrum emulator with a very good Z80 core already used in the EightyOne Windows only ZX81 emulator. The core has many hooks in it for the various Spectrum functions that go on and is not as clean to separate out as I hoped – I’ll have to do a simple fork of it, clean out the Fuse parts and then put in the ZX81 parts.
I’m quite impressed with xplanet ( http://xplanet.sf.net/). You can give it a text file containing lat, long, and markers and generate a map of the world with people’s locations on it.
DKA R4 really didn’t work out. Got DKA R4-beta5 out of the Sourceforge CVS. It needed a bit of massaging but it compiled. And some of the examples compile. And run.
Getting crt0.s to work with devkitARM seems more effort than getting DKA to compile under the Mac. Got DKA release 4. Doesn’t build out of the box but built in the end.
Changed over to WordPress and I notice my first posts were about MonkeyFilter’s transfers. Then: 416MB after about 20 days 59MB in 18 hours Now: 443MB in the first day of the month 10.
So GDB 6.3 doesn’t compile out of the box on a Mac for a couple of reasons – it assumes the localisation library ‘intl’ source is available as well and it has compilation problems with one of the ARM protocol interfaces.
VisualBoy Advance also has a native Mac port and has GBD support. The Mac binary is missing the debugger hooks so I’ll try compiling the SDL version. I’ve gotten one small demo to compile and run using the information at http://user.
