http://papillon.nwnx.org A personal cheat sheet Sat, 14 Jul 2007 15:27:53 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en 1.08 stayed in beta for quite a while, before getting officially released today. I wanted to make sure that there are really no known bugs before I call it "final". The new functions Obsidian Entertainment added specifically for NWNX turned out to be the best thing after sliced bread. They make ... http://papillon.nwnx.org/index.php/archives/28 At first, it was totally easy to get the sound output working. The kernel that Kubuntu 7.04 installs by default already includes the necessary ALSA drivers for Intel HDA and the AD1988 codec, so I did not have to do a thing. That is only fine for the analog outputs, ... http://papillon.nwnx.org/index.php/archives/27 After a couple of hours of organizing my 25 mp3 clips, and ripping some CDs, it occured to me that it would be nice to also add internet radio stations to the mix, integrated into Jinzora. Basically, this is supported, but it does not work out of the box. You can ... http://papillon.nwnx.org/index.php/archives/26 I have installed my dream team on the new box today: Jinzora and MPD (Music Player Daemon). Jinzora offers an elegant way of accessing your music collection, and it seems to be a quite mature project. It is compareable to desktop programs like iTunes, but with a twist: Jinzora can ... http://papillon.nwnx.org/index.php/archives/25 The components for a long planned project of mine finally arrived: Asus Pundit Barebone I ordered it with a Core 2 Duo E4300, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB Harddisk, and some silent upgrades. Should be enough for music serving and yet-to-be-defined other tasks. The onboard sound, an Intel HDA with an Analog ... http://papillon.nwnx.org/index.php/archives/24 Long time no update, but of course I haven't been sitting on my lazy ass since January :-). Finally, Obsidian Entertainment included special functions for NWNX, that improve the interface between NWN2 and NWNX4 considerably ! The new NWNX4 is not only faster, it is also 100% safe from any future ... http://papillon.nwnx.org/index.php/archives/23 NWNX4 is improving and stabilizing. I now consider it beta quality, good and feature complete enough to run live servers. The GUI that was released today brings NWNX4 up to par with its predecessor, and with the changes that have been made under the hood, clearly surpases it in certain ... http://papillon.nwnx.org/index.php/archives/22 After playing around with wxWidgets and trying out some ideas on a service handling interface, I decided to first do a quick solution that resembles the old NWNX2 GUI and supports only the interactive mode. That way, there is something out sooner, and I have more time to decide what ... http://papillon.nwnx.org/index.php/archives/21 The plugins and the controller program slowly loose their alpha-quality and are about to enter the beta phase. What is now needed for a first beta release is a graphical interface. A break from working at the more low-level stuff will be nice. Yesterday, I started working on the GUI stuff, ... http://papillon.nwnx.org/index.php/archives/20 After a couple of weeks working with Ruby on Rails and SQL Server 2005, certain aspects slowly crystalize: 1. The ADO DB driver (which uses win32ole) does not work on Ruby 1.8.4 and 1.8.5. I can not help but wonder who besides me actually uses Rails and SQL Server 2005 ? ... http://papillon.nwnx.org/index.php/archives/19
