I revamped the icon for one of my apps. The grey background doesn’t really do it justice, but you get the idea.

Happy Coding!

I recently overhauled the UI of one of my apps – the new look is nice.

Happy Coding!

I did up a simple icon set for an app I’m working on – the three states are “Ok, Warning and Dead”

Happy Coding!

After updating ADT to v17 today, I started getting

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

This blog post set me straight: http://android.foxykeep.com/dev/how-to-fix-the-classdefnotfounderror-with-adt-17.

TL;DR: Rename the lib directory to libs and add any external libraries back onto your build path.

This site has a ‘slide deck’ look and feel and uses scrolling in a unique way! Check it out!

I’m working on a tool for interactively prototyping simulations / graphics with the HTML5 <canvas>. It’s based on a tool by Brett Victor (worrydream.com), shown off in his video here.

At the moment, there’s only a video of me talking about the tool, but the source will be up on Github soon (as soon as I get un-busy with other stuff).

I did an entry for the 2012 js1k competition! The theme was love, and I came up with a 3d spinning heart :D

Check it out: http://js1k.com/2012-love/demo/1015.

Source is on github, and there’s an annotated (outdated) version of the code too.

I came across two online image-editing web apps today. I was looking for an online SVG editor, but found a raster graphics app as well.

Great front page layout

Oooh, and https by default! Sexy.

Needed to set up synaptic behind a proxy (again) today, thought I’d document it.

$ cd /etc/apt/                       # Changes to the directory /etc/apt/
$ cp apt.conf apt.conf_backup        # Copies the file apt.conf to apt.conf_backup in case we stuff something up
$ gksudo gedit apt.conf&             # Opens the file apt.conf in a text editor

And add the lines

ACQUIRE {
    http::proxy "http://[UserName]:[Password]@[ProxyAddress]:[Port]/"
}

Save, close. Of course, if you change proxy settings regularly, you’ll need to configure that yourself (Ubuntu is seriously messed up in this respect – Someone should write a fix for the proxy management system at some point *adds item to todo list*)

Happy Coding.
