5ud0ku on Android

5ud0ku runs on Android - Bartek Teodorczyk used it for demonstrating his enhancement to the MicroEmulator platform: MicroEmu now serves as an executable environment to run Java ME applications on Android. If you are a J2ME or Android developer make sure to check out MicroEmulator and read Bartek's post - Running Java ME applications on Android.

k4kur0 V1.0 released

We think, k4kur0 is now ready to ship. We tested the game on some devices and hope it will run fine on most mobiles.

If you use it and encounter a bug or problem, please let us know (midlet @ wintermute.de).

The game can now also be downloaded via GetJar.com.

Have fun with our mobile Kakuro game.

If you want to add another language set, download the language files from the repository and translate them accordingly. We will include the translation and bundle a new release. The files are UTF-8 encoded and you will need to adapt the common (cdict_) and the kakuro-specific language files (dict_).

not busy

so I made some Waffles. Crispy. I used the recipe I got from my Grandma.

Yessir, the check is in the mail.

Just ordered the MacBook Pro.

Release Candidate k4kur0

Our Kakuro J2ME game has finally reached RC status. We need to test it on some devices though. Ivonne has found some time to remove most TODOs and issues from the codebase and I set up a subversion repository to share the code (if anyone is interested at all). Next to the code for k4kur0, I also published the 5ud0ku code there.

We are quite aware that the Kakuro game will not spread as wide as our Sudoku implementation did (and still does), but at least the UI looks nicer and it's help feature also helps without revealing the solution.

distract

During my current holiday I stay at home and distract myself from work by simple activites:

• supporting ivonne on playing Indiana Jones - Die Legendären Abenteuer on her Wii
• enabling open access to my svn repo
• constantly checking macrumors for news on the new MacBooks (avail. on 14th Oct?)
• finding a vendor in Frankfurt who sells fritz-kola (Actually I just bought a crate of it)
• progress a bit with k4kur0
• reading books

BTW: I will start with a new job, soon. Unfortunatly sometimes things do not develop as intended.

I am curious about

Stephen King's "N."

An original video series

Everyone standing at an open door, act false

This website is located in germany, nevertheless the posts are written in english. With this in mind please forgive strange word selection and grammar mistakes.

Please have a look at the linked pdf, which I noticed yesterday at the Frankfurt's central station. It is a document explaining the door operations of the rapid transit trains.

Enjoy the word-by-word translation and try to figure out, what the writer actually wants to tell … info-tueren-en.pdf

Here are some extracts:

• … Therefore it is very important to let this area clear
• … So the rapid-transit railways rmain warmly in winter and pleasantly in summer
• … We require all time good travel to you!

remotunes - iTunes remote controller

Our MobileControl midlet is a simple implementation to allow remote controlling a pc via bluetooth mobile. It uses a bluetooth-com port bridge and utilizes few windows api calls to control the running applications.

Primary it was written to control an audio player remotely and it worked fine for my purposes.

Now I came across remotunes - a free iTunes remote controller for Mac OS X, Windows and Java ME. This free toolset has a much better usability compared to our MobileControl. It connects via bluetooth or network. It controls iTunes only, but in a perfect way and worked without any problems on my mac and windows machines and the setup is really simple. remotunes enables you to browse your iTunes library, play/pause/volume control and even serves cover-art.
