Still Alive; pyy, mkvdts2ac3, is_awesome, mobile apps, hashtags
Been busy…
pyy is nearing its first major milestone, 1.0.0. All that remains is writing a proper documentation and drafting some good examples but the code is pretty much stable in the master branch. pyy has a very wide scope of applications from rapid prototyping to generating and serving large web sites. Look for an upcoming blog post and formal introduction in the coming weeks.
Version 1.0.4 of mkvdts2ac3 has just been released which fixes the problems with portability to FreeBSD and OS X. A minor rewrite of the script is planned to resolve known annoyances as well as introduce must-requested features such as multiple file input and default settings. Once stable these features will be announced in a blog post and likely be tagged as 1.1.0.
The is_awesome checker has been completely rewritten from scratch to be much more robust and thorough in its testing of MediaInfo output. Native support for localization was also added and a few translations are already in the works. Any updates are likely to be minor bug fixes and will be announced via my Twitter feed.
A MacBook Pro is in the works so SMSBarrage for the iPhone can finally take off. The Windows Mobile and BlackBerry versions will also begin to take shape over the next few months. Android development of SMSBarrage 2.0.0 as well as SMSPoll and SMSMorse is finally resuming too.
Stay tuned to the blog for major announcements or follow my Twitter feed. Some notable hashtags that I use: #SMSBarrage, #SMSPoll, #SMSMorse, #mkvdts2ac3, #pyy, #polyreviki, #thebdmt, #twopr, and i’ll start using #is_awesome.
