Felipe Contreras (0) permalink
Ok, This is a response to my previous post, since Tiago (libmsn’s author) replied and I think I should explain in more detail. libmsn-api plan I think there should be a libmsn-api, in C, which is basically a bunch of .h files. Several things could implement this API, for example pymsn, which is written in Python, but with C bindings that implement this API it could be used by both telepathy-msn and pidgin-msn effortlessly.

msn-pecan 0.0.17, the beginning of a new era (1)
onHello! It has been a long time since the previous release, and there’s a reason for that, but first, on with the release. This release would have pretty dull without Devid, since he pretty much did the two new features: custom emoticon sending support, and a new feature called for a lack of better name ‘independent personal status messages’. I’ll try to explain ‘independent psm’. It’s related to issue 51 (Easier way to setup personal ...Shared by Felipe Contreras (0)Contribute comment

Announcing codeswarm.rb 0.1 (1)
oncodeswarm.rb is a rewrite of Michael Ogawa’s code_swarm in ruby using cairo. For an example see: The format of the events xml file is compatible with code_swarm’s one, and the physics engine is basically the same. The code is less than 500 lines of code, so it should be fairly hackable. The code is there: http://github.com...

Wii Remote theremin (6)
on
TED | TEDBlog (10) permalink
In an ingenious geek-out that's almost too perfectly suited for TED, designer Ken Moore presents a much-anticipated hack of the Nintendo Wii Remote: a theremin. It seems to be a nearly serendipitous merger of TEDTalks by thereminist Pamelia Kurstin and Wii hacker Johnny Lee. Has anyone seen other hybridized Ideas Worth Spreading (coincidental or not)? Leave us a comment. (Via Boing Boing and a zillion others.)- Jacopo said: Wiimote for the win.
