  • Audiobooks on my iPod

    Okay today i discovered what i thought didnt exist. I have some books in mp3 format, but it was so annoying to make playlist for each book, and having them mix in when i decided to shuffle all songs.

    Then i finally found the solution. MP3 to iPod Audio Book Converter

    With this lovely little open source application you can take your audiobooks, in whatever format you might have them in, and convert it into bookmarkable m4b files for your iPod. This means that not only will your iPod remember your last listening position in the book, but also display it under audiobooks rather than regular music.
    Furthermore should your book be devided into a number of seperate mp3 files, the converter will fuse these together for easy seamless listening.

    So far im enjoying it intensively when im biking to and from work, since listening to music actually got a bit boring imho. But listening to a good book (reccomend Terry Pratchets Discworld books) can put a smile on your face 😀

  • iTunes 7.0.2 Released!

    It seems an update for iTunes is available now. I hope this fixes performance issues im having with it on windows. The only thing i use it for right now is basically synching with iPod.. nothing gets played because it’s too slow to be useable.

    “iTunes 7.0.2 adds support for the Second Generation iPod shuffle and addresses a variety of stability and performance issues found in iTunes 7 and 7.0.1.”

  • Frozen Bubble 2 released!

    Yes it’s here. Frozen Bubble 2 !!!
    After a lot of hard work and a lot of testing, FB2 is released on 27th of October 2006. This new release brings the following new features:

    • new 1-player game mode: multiplayer training; uses identical game rules as multiplayer, generated malus bubbles are counted as points – what score will you be able to reach in the 2 minutes time frame?
    • network (Internet) game: up to 5 players in a game (net game system has logic able to transparently handle players behind a NAT)
    • LAN game: similar to network game except that no connection to Internet is made, substituted by polling the local network
    • fully revamped graphics, including now 3d-based smooth penguin eyecandy
    • revamped intro and 1p music into fully digital productions
    • full joystick support: just move your joystick(s) or push buttons in the “change keys” dialog (analog joysticks handled as digital for fair play)
    • recording and playback of all games with non-predefined levels (1-player in random and multiplayer training, local 2-player, and network/LAN game with 2 to 5 players)
    • realtime graphical effects in the menu screen (if your computer is fast enough)
    • anti-aliased and localized messages

    Now let’s pray for the stability of the Frozen-Bubble Internet game servers.

    PS: I did the danish translation for this game, so check it out 😀 Hope the translations wont be too far off 😀 hehe
