Version 0.3 of Vinyl Scrobbler for Android is out. This release brings one long-awaited and occasionally-requested feature:

You can now tell Vinyl Scrobbler when you start playing a record, rather than just when you've just finished.

After months of inactivity and a week or two of frantic coding, I am happy to be able to announce that the Emperor file manager is back with a new release! Emperor “Basil”, version 0.2, can be downloaded from the emperor website.

Emperor is a Commander-style (“orthodox”) file manager for the GNOME desktop. It is written in Vala and, unlike similar programs such as GNOME Commander or mc, it uses GIO in order to integrate with the GNOME desktop and to take advantage of GVfs-FUSE.

New in version 0.2:

• Image preview pane
• Launch Terminal and Meld from inside Emperor
• Translated into Czech and German
• Many new keyboard shortcuts for increased efficiency
• Bug fixes
• New icon

 I am pleased to announce the first released version of Emperor: version 0.1 "Aurelian"

You can download Emperor from its website or get the most recent version of the code from GitHub

Emperor is a new Commander-style (“orthodox”) file manager for the GNOME desktop. It is writte in Vala and, unlike similar programs such as GNOME Commander or mc, it uses GIO in order to integrate with the GNOME desktop and to take advantage of GVfs-FUSE.

While it is not yet full-featured, it is complete enough to be useful and has good support for network file systems and automatic mounting of archive files.

Emperor strives to provide a user interface familiar to users of Total Commander, Krusader, or GNOME Commander.

Dependencies:

• GTK+ 3
• Libxml2
• Libgee 0.7

Additional dependencies when building the source from Git:

• Vala 0.12
• GNU Autoconf, Automake, Libtool, and Gettext

I'm happy to announce the first release of Vinyl Scrobbler, an Android app that allows you to manually scrobble your vinyl records, cassettes, or other offline media found in the Discogs database, to Last.fm with minimal effort.

Vinyl Scrobbler makes it easy to find the right record simply by scanning its barcode with your phone's camera, but also allows searching by name for old records or bootlegs that don't carry a barcode. It lets you scrobble a complete album or individual sides, volumes or tracks after you've listened to them.

Today, I release the first wrapped-up public version of roxopter2, v0.2~a1, second in the video game franchise nobody has ever heard of "rockopter". Roxoptr2 is a simple 2D side-scrolling game in which you pilot a helicopter around things. It is written in POSIX C using the SDL library (also SDL_image, SDL_ttf and zlib) and runs on UNIX systems such as GNU/Linux and FreeBSD (and probably Mac OS X) as well as the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Windows.
