BBC Radio Widget v3.0

Monday, April 16th, 2007

There’s a new widget in town - BBC Radio Widget 3.0. Featuring, by popular request, an in-widget schedule!
Hopefully the first of several widget releases in the next few weeks (due to brief access to an internet connection, hurrah!).

Did you mail me about a Cinematic variant?

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

I wouldn’t normally post this as news, but this may be the only way:
Some time back I had a couple of emails from someone (whom I won’t name, seeing as that would be rude) who had made a Cinematic variant, and wanted permission to release it. I tried to reply twice, but my messages got [...]

Internet problems

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Apologies to anyone who has commented or emailed me in the last few months. I’ve had no active net connection, and the only internet I can get - campus internet - is crippled with regards to email, in that they block all outgoing mail except through their server, and provide no access to their own [...]

I’m going outside now - I may be some time

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

Well, it’s finally here! BBC Radio Widget 2.2 hits the internet with the full force of… well, with full force, anyway.
I know I’ve been promising this for nearly a fortnight now but - what can I say - I’ve been busy! Speaking of which, you may have noticed a few changes around here…
This version includes [...]

Freezing problem update

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

It’s fixed! Apparently some Macs are fussier than others about Javascript errors… v2.2 - which will contain a few other fixes and enhancements - will be released soon. Sorry it’s so soon after the last update!
In other news, thanks to all those who have donated their hard-earned cash to Andy’s Beverage-Based Entertainment Fund. I’m still [...]

Widget + Intel

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

There appears to be some kind of Javascript issue with the widget on some Intel Macs - specifically, that it may freeze on clicking the Done button.
Apologies for my late recognition of this - I’ve been away for a month.
As I don’t own an Intel Mac myself, I may be getting in contact with some [...]
