A very short beta program (actually this is a release candidate really). Will be releasing by the weekend, but if anyone wants to check it out and make me aware of any issues it’d be appreciated.
Pulled - release very soon

Good news for owners of Intel Macs - RealPlayer 10.1 is out and it’s a Universal Binary.
Go grab it now and enjoy listening to BBC Radio on your Dashboard once again!
Nice of Real to finally join the Intel party. What took you so long guys?

During my work on a couple of projects - including the forthcoming major upgrade to the BBC Radio widget - I desired a simple, OS X-like progress indicator, similar to Apple’s NSProgressIndicator. I found that a couple of people have implemented something similar in Dashboard widgets; generally in the form of an animated .gif. That’s [...]

Superseded by version 2.2.
Just a quick update to add Five Live Sports Xtra UK - for coverage of sports events for which the BBC doesn’t have international broadcast rights. I’m guessing this station is only available to UK IP addresses.
Anyway, this now means that test match coverage is available for cricket fans. Get it here!
Unfortunately, [...]

Apologies for the downtime recently. Bit of a security blunder. Hopefully it’s all sorted out. As a consequence, file uploads are suspended at the moment. Sorry for the inconvenience, blame idiots with nothing better to do.

Superseded by version 2.2.
Seems like only a short while ago I released v1.6… This new version adds local radio listings. Yes, all 40 stations. It took a long time!

Superseded by version 2.2.
Finally. So what’s new?

Avoids a crash if you have no internet connection - displays a polite notice instead
Added regional radio stations for Scotland, Wales and Ireland

Future plans are a complete rewrite (eventually, for v2.0) and in the short term complete listings of BBC Local Radio. That’ll be a pain though, not least [...]

Superseded by version 2.2.
Welcome, visitors from Dashboard Widgets! And from Apple.com, as of 12th June. Please don’t be too scared.
I suppose I should make a post about my widget here. It’s, uh, really cool. It plays radio streams from the BBC, and looks pretty smart to boot. And yes, of course I’m biased.

Any suggestions or [...]

Well, as promised, here’s the first delve into my goodie bag of material. Cumulus and Cumulonimbus, two icon sizes each (currently 48px and 64px, but I’m thinking of making the first one 32px, cos so many notifications sent to Growl have stupidly small icons). Anyway, my gripes aside, get ‘em while they’re hot.

With the help of Xenon on #colloquy, the weird bug in my Colloquy message style is now gone. Yay. Well, I say “my” style - about 4 characters of it is my original work. It’s really just the bastard lovechild of DecafBland and Standard. Still, I think it is more than the sum of its [...]
