Still on skins
I've been really busy last few days with the irRemote skin project, it is almost finished. It has changed quite much from the version I posted a few days ago. It now has skins for TV, CD, DVD, Tuner, Tape, Amp.

Skinning cont.
Yesterday found out that there is more functions in the irRemote, than I knew of, and now been adding lots of new shiny buttons to the set, and redesigning some old ones. Today is the release day of irRemote and my partially finished skin is included in the installation package. But I think I can finish the skin by today evening. So I think there will be a new version of it shortly after, with all the functions included.

First skin for irRemote
Today finally finished the first skin project for irRemote. It was really easy to design, but it was really massive job as it has so many buttons and the XML positioning really took time. The screenshot is below.

Finally got some sleep
I slept for 4h hours earlier, now just got the computer to work with the new processor. Now it feels like new :D Been playing Serious Sam: Second Encounter for a few hours. I like kicking some alien ass.
Blink, its morning already
And I didnt have time to update this yet. Oh well, maybe tonight then. If I can get some sleep first. Just got myself a new processor for my desktop PC, a 800MHz Celeron. So installing that has a first priority : ) Should be nicer than my old 300MHz Pentium II. Then my desktop will be on par with my laptop :D Fortunately it has more RAM (512MB) More HD (60GB) and dual monitor setup. Both (laptop & desktop) have Wacom graphics tablets, those are really nice with Photoshop :D

Woah
Just got the skinning "tools" for irRemote (not available, yet) from PsiLOC, and it is quite a job :D It is quite like the new WinAmp3 skinning system as it uses XML, of course it enables much more contol over the skins, but it means also much, much more work. So next week is going to be mainly used just for doing graphics for that :D ( 109 bmp files totalling 1.3MB ) Nice.
New strange charger
Was just browsing slashdot and came across this strange thing, SplashPad?. Really interesting idea, to charge batteries through induction. Remains to be seen, how well that works...

Night
Been updating a bit my comment submit page, and just now looked at the time. Now I am wondering, what on earth am I doing still up, as in 6 hours I must be at work again. So this might be a good time to call it a night for today... or maybe just a few tweaks here and there... Hold on, looks like Ewan has done a new review on AAS of WebViewer, that I gotta read first before going to bed.

Finally video
So the Nokia finally made available the official Hantro video recorder for 7650, available here. Just wondering why it took so long.
Camera phones on BBC news
Some pub in London seems to have taken notice of camera phones. Check out this article on BBC news. Nice. Also mentioned on Slashdot.
Work today
Its my first day at work in about a month, and I am already bored. Not enough things to do today, so I thought to make a post here. The coming war seems to be a big subject in the internet at the moment so I wont be discussing it here at all... dont even know my thoughts about it myself.

Hmmm
Strange thing with the smallscreen version. It doesnt render the most recent post at all, only the comments. Gotta look into it deeper. And it doesnt yet have commenting abilities. Oh well, I think Its just something small.
New day (again)
Last day and night went mainly to browsing web and looking at others blogs and taking notes how they are doing this. Not much improvements here, except got around doing that search button. Today just got around doing a mobile (smallscreen) version of my blog. It was quite simple, but am not satisfied with it. Needs more tweaking. But for those that are interested, it can be found here.

A new day of Blogging
Good evening to all, this is my second day into MovableType, and Im really staring to get a grip on this stuff. Last night it went to 7am until I was able to call it a day. This is too fun to stop doing. (have to admit that part of the time went to playing GTA:Vice City (Trying to get 100% now @ 94%))

This is my first test, wonder how its starting to look. Have fiddled a bit with the templates. Chose "Trendy" template as a starting point. Have to change some colours of it and some text styles, to get it perfect. Woah, gotta try what that extended Entry box does.
