Umm ya.  Why are you here? I dunno.  unless you’re me.  I’m here cuz i want to keep track of things and so anyone else can see what in the world i’m doing.  not like they care.  meh, i shall say it again,… meh.

Anyways, my ideas that i’ve been brewing for a while that i’ve always needed to blog about:

  • Mod audio players to look more like amarok and less like itunes; candidates: foobar2000, quarkplayer, musikcube2
    • likelyhood of doing it: slim, bit more than slim with foobar since i’d just need to make a component
  • CD ripping support for amarok: i submitted this to Gsoc in ‘08.  No bites.  oh well
  • just a CD ripper: queues as the main interface element, to rip as much as possible at the same time.
    • why? current interfaces suck
    • possible, but unlikely atm
  • mduel remake
    • my cousin’s doing this, he’s started in python, restarted in c and is now restarting again
    • i tried this a couple years ago in java, restarted once, would restart again
    • would wait to see if joel comes thru, steal his code and port it to java and/or Qt, otherwise, still possible
  • powerpoint replacement, named “Projection”
    • when i get free time, i’ll do it.  depends on my war3 cravings.  Qt4 ftw!
    • powerpoint sucks, opensong = meh, oo.o impress = good but not optimal esp. for songs, mediashout looks good, but $$$$$, proprietary.
    • i already have a qt app that has a button that makes it go fullscreen.  Yay! pretty good for first time using qt and c++.
  • replacement for campwise.  That bloated stupid microsoft-whaddya-call-it-only lets you use ie…
    • maybe in a couple years… I’ll have to learn how to use/code the AMP in LAMP/WAMP.  And of course, LOTS of free time.
  • minimalistic linux setup to be low on power, cli interface, just playes music.  And of course an amarok-like interface.
  • Lots of hacks on dwm
    • vista theme that looks like oxygen
  • passing windows’ desktop right click menu/shell extensions to be accessible thru plasma/windows.
    • just talking about it gives me an idea: just pop it up thru a submenu that just loads windows’ submenu.  It’d look hackish but work!
  • some way to quickly switch between ndiswrapper and bcm43xx linux wireless drivers thru networkManager… probably unrealistic tho.
  • bake the ultimate cookie: cross between double chocolate and cornflake-m&m cookies.

Also, for c++, Eclipse? MSVC? Kdev?  I’ll see in a few weeks when i’ll(hopefully) have free time.  and lots of it.

Oh yeah, the name of this blog comes from a comment on a blog.  so sue me.
