It really seems that mobimate is working on bringing WorldMate to Series60 according this interview with Ramel Levin, Director, Product Management at MobiMate on Wireless Dev Net. Sweet. For those that dont click on links, the WorldMate is a world clock, weather forecaster, currency converter and (limited) map application rolled into one kickass app.
Opera Software is really in progress of making the best browser, for any computer platform, even better. There has been added new features in nearly every update since 7.0 The latest version seems to be much more faster and the old style tabbed browsing from version 6 is now included. That was the only feature I really missed, when upgraded to 7.
Y'z dock 0.7.0 beta is now out. It fixes most bugs and might be a bit faster than the old one. This app is so nice. I got rid of all icons in the desktop, just using the dock. No more clutter.
And while waiting for Matrix Reloaded it is nice to have a matrix style screensaver, and the one from ChaosSoft is propably the best one there is. If you know of better, then please tell me :D And you could also check out the new episode of Animatrix. I really cant wait for the Reloaded to come...
Why I don't use Opera on windows:
To big and heavy to load, ie is faster
To much extras, I hate that it has an build in email client. Your forced to use it, if you don't well it just sits there using space and resources.
Of course one every other platform than windows I use Opera :D
Does the dock has the map support build in already? I mean can you get a start menu allike thingy? It didn't before and it irritated me :D Most of the docks you can point a icon to a map to get it as a menu.
I fear of Reloaded but I'm still going to see if I'm wrong or not :)
A whole week has passed since last post here. But its been busy few days, have had time to browse AAS, though. Its really amazing how much there is a repeat questions... Now it seems that the 3650 sales are starting, atleast the posting rate in 3650 section is now rising constantly, but it isn't yet anywhere near, what the rate was on 7650 section before xmas.
Finally finished the first skin for irRemote completely, I think it will be included in the next update. Now already putting together a new one, it is beginnig to look really cool. Should be really much faster designing it, than the first one. Lately havent had time for anything else much. Nothing interesting happening in symbian world, even. Bored...
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.
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.
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.
Here is a early version of a tv remote, the finished is pretty much like that.
I was able to make the skin size go down from originals over 300kB to under 150kB. Now I'm already designing something new, this time keeping it really simple so the file size should be hopefully under 70kB. No idea yet, when the irRemote will be available from psiLOC.
The new processor is really nice, the Photoshop is so much faster. And now the Y'z dock works really smoooooth :D its the best mac style app launcher for PC.
Very nice JyriK. Simple and pretty!
Thanks. Today is the release day of irRemote :D
And my skin is included in the package.
Great :D ..... what is YzDock again? What is its purpose?
YzDock is a program laucher bar, just like in Mac OS X. Alphablended sweetness. :D
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.
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
The Oscars got awarded tonight, nothing suprising happened there. Best visual effects award went to The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers. Best Picture went to Chicago and Directing to The Pianist (that was a small suprise).
