2004-08-01MAME

2004-08-01Poker
The first public version of my Hold'em Hand Comparator has been released. It is licensed under the GPL.
2004-06-27MAME
Hooray!!! The MAME Teaser Widget is finally live on the Widget Gallery! If you're reading this, go check it out! Current version is 0.77.0, in sync with MacMAME 0.77u2.
2004-06-21Scripting / Radio
Added WEMU 98.1 to the list of stations recognized by the streamripper scripts. WEMU comes in two flavors: 24 kbps and 128 kbps. It is also the first .m3u-format playlist added to the scripts. Suggested by Michael Bishop.
2004-06-10Scripting / Radio / MAME
Uploaded the MAME Teaser Widget, unleashing it officially upon the world. If you don't know what this means, go read about Konfabulator and then come back here. Also put the Radio Scripts up for public download, too. Give 'em a try and let me know how they work out for you!
2004-06-07Misc.
Added page for The Past. There also seem to be a few bugs in my CSS when rendering in Mozilla-based browsers. Table headings, in particular, may look strange. That was easier than I expected.
2004-06-01Misc. / MAME Teaser
Rolled out major revisions to the CSS. It's still not clean, but it's at least prettier. There are known problems with the photo albums, though. Added the various pages for the MAME Teaser Widget, including a pre-emptive FAQ. That's been a long time coming. Hopefully there are no serious bugs, and I can get it into the widget gallery soon.
2004-05-30Misc.
Major rework of element coloring and general CSS cleanup / revision in progress.
2004-04-10Scripting / Radio
KCRW moved This American Life to 11 AM, one hour later than before. Updated the program schedule to reflect this.
2004-03-06Scripting / Radio
The KCRW_128 stream has, again, moved to a new location. The new stream playlist is located on their servers, not Shoutcast's, so perhaps this will put an end to the problems of the playlist moving around to places where the recording script can't find it.
2003-12-17Things I Saw
Added a gallery of pictures from my trip to the Great White North with Gus & Peter back in 2002. Our digital cameras were relatively new back then, so we took a ton of pictures. This is a very small sample.
2003-12-14Misc.
Big update. The site is now live on the hosting provider instead of just on the super-secret chewtoy development sandbox. The first set of site badges is done and can be seen in the upper left corner. Reworked the boilerplate code to work around webhost4life's screwy (IMHO) configuration. Note that not everything is absolutely done yet. For instance, the radio scripts are not available for download. Maybe that'll happen before Christmas, or maybe not. Finally, some of the CSS is totally borked under Mozilla (and possibly others). That will be fixed eventually.
2003-12-14Things I Saw
The first image gallery is now available in Things I Saw. It's the Vegas trip last February with the cousins.
2003-12-07Scripting / Radio
The KCRW_128 stream has moved to a different URL. Again. Updated the script to accommodate this.
2003-11-16Misc.
Happy Birthday to Me.
2003-11-11Scripting / Radio
Added WPSU 96 kbps (University Park, PA) to the NPR ShoutCast Stream Recorder. Thanks to Michael Bishop for suggesting this. The KCRW_128 stream has returned, but at a different URL. Updated the script to accommodate this.
2003-11-07Misc.
Began migrating templates to PHP. PHP is kind of cool.
2003-11-06Misc.
Moved the News into MySQL, just for giggles. It was fun.
2003-11-01Scripting / Radio
It appears that KCRW has moved/removed their 128 kbps ShoutCast stream. Hopefully it will return soon. If not, I will try to find another source for This American Life. It also seems that streamripper has disappeared from fink. This is not a huge problem, but will require an update of the radio scripts for new users.
2003-10-17Misc.
chewtoy.net domain comes online.
