more stuff

Oh well, some big news. zTower's got an icon



Square, I know. (OS X icons aren't actually meant to be square... it's an unwritten rule. (Actually, it might be written in the HIG documents, I'm not sure...))

I made a photomosaic around it... but someone shut down the computer and it didn't get saved. Oh well, I'll regenerate it again.

I'm trying to implement scrolling in zTower. That is fun :)

GPSTool's gpsd-interfacing code was randomly crashing at points, so I removed it entirely (it wasn't much anyway, and was badly written...). It's going to be rewritten from scratch.

By combining various wordlists, I made one that was nearly 2GB. There was one I found that was nearly 2GB, but after running it through uniq, it was reduced to 1.6GB (great, duplicates in a wordlist...). I also thought of an innovative method of storing these - put it on a compressed DMG. The wordlist takes up 280MB on the DMG, and it can be mounted, and accessed as if it was a normal file.

... and that's just about everything.

Oh, wait, there is this that I have been working on:
