Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Having grabbed an iPhone 3G on Friday, I spent some time over the past few days making tweaks and changes to what was already done to support the previous model iPhone. Below are the results. As you can see, the iPhone 2.0 firmware now seems to support the ...

Just added a bunch of code which has been uploaded to svn and rolled up in the latest tarball to add support for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This is the beginning of the use of different style sheets which will lead to preferences for different styles for your ...

Getting in Touch with your Tunes

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

It was almost two years to the day that I purchased my 4GB iPod Nano and just a couple of days after post this. At the time it seemed like a lot of space, but I really filled it up pretty quickly. Apple advertises 1000 songs on ...

The MonkeyChow Reblog Publishing Platform

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

A recent query from a MonkeyChow user about reblogging got me to rethinking about how it is currently implemented in MonkeyChow. This is not the first time someone has asked me about automatically feeding a blog system like Wordpress with the reblog/recycle feed from MonkeyChow (rss.php). I had ...

MonkeyChow Moves?

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

I recently tried to add some new content to MonkeyChow at SourceForge's SVN repo. Looks like they moved and renamed the repo so that even this #svn sw https://monkeychow.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/monkeychow does not work: svn: 'https://monkeychow.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/monkeychow' is not the same repository as 'https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/monkeychow' So, to get further SVN updates, you will need check out a new copy ...

Sunday, April 1st, 2007

You can find a little screencast that I threw together this morning for MonkeyChow, going over some of the more frequently used features. A lot of the recent work is showcased, so what you are seeing is new stuff. Most of this is only available in the SVN ...

MonkeyChow unified view code and user prefs

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

This was a long time coming, but is finally here and will make things simpler when altering code in the future. I'll only have to change it in one place to affect all views of the code. In addition, there is now a preference for determining which view ...

Can you Digg it?

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

A recent small addition to the MonkeyChow code can be seen below. Now, if the feed happens to come from Digg.com, the iframe Digg badge will be displayed for that story so that you can digg the story from within MonkeyChow. YOu still have to be logged into Digg for ...

MonkeyChow update

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007

Well, I’m back to updating MonkeyChow over the Christmas break. I recently saw how FeedOnFeeds just released some new code for the pre-0.6 version. I have to say that I like what has been done. However, I think that it’s still missing a number of things and its not very ...
