Haiku CD Burning

Sunday, 04 October 2009 11:27

86_64A nice application that normal Haiku users could use, is a CD Burning Program. The command line tools exist already, (mkisofs - included in Haiku & cdrecord, dvdrecord < not so sure the latter works under Haiku), but a GUI front-end would be welcome.

ZETA_Jaba

The author of Jaba jan__64 (which was a CD burning program included in Zeta and written in Yab), has asked for help in creating a new program for Haiku. So if you're good with Yab and artwork (icons) leave a comment here and we'll get you in contact with him.

I have the sources (and the rights) of JABA, the ZETA cdrecord frontend written in yab. However, it was written with yab version 0.2.4 and it needs quite some adjustments for yab 1.5, and some new icons and graphics too. Any volunteer who wants to help with JABA for Haiku is welcome to do so.

Oct 2009 TYA Winner: Rudolf Cornelissen

Thursday, 01 October 2009 07:25

Well, it was hard to pick someone to vote for in this poll; they all made great contributions to Haiku! Rudolf and Colin collected the majority of the votes. Colin should be able to buy his own shirt from the bounty proceeds though. Tongue out

oct-tya-results

I'll be sending Rudolf's shirt off later today. If anyone has his email (not the old ones where his domain expired), please email or PM me.

Blinkenlights Coming to Haiku

Wednesday, 30 September 2009 13:39

A developer wrote me today to show his progress on Blinkenlights under Haiku. The original BeBoxes had strips of LED lights on the front left and right sides of the boxes that lit up in relation to activity on the processors (load monitors)- pretty cool feature: Planned is:
  • make it work with _lots_ of LEDs - 60 per CPU core as of current plan
  • make a design that can easily Be [;-)] put in a PC`s drive bay
  • have them manufactured and sold for the benefit of the Haiku general fund
More info and videos can be found over here.

Gone Dedicated

Saturday, 26 September 2009 19:05

Well we're dedicated now, and on a faster line. The website is snappier, and downloads are noticeably quicker now (~1.5mb/sec). That was an annoying way to spend a whole Friday, but I'm glad it's working, and think/hope that went without any hiccups :)

2nd Year Thank You Award Anniversary

Saturday, 26 September 2009 09:06

Wow, we've been doing this for two years already as we started the idea and gave out the first award in October, 2007!

Once again, we're asking the community for nominees for the October Thank You Award. Leave a comment with your nominee. Polling will run from the 28th until the 1st.

I'd like to nominate:


Humdinger's nominees:

  • Jonas Sundström: for all the little and not so little things he does to improve Haiku's user experience and also his work on ArmyKnife, an essential tool with great future development possibilities.
  • Rudolf Cornelissen: Without his work on the nvidia driver, I couldn't have done the (almost) switch to Haiku. smilies/smiley.gif I bet there are many more happy campers with his nvidia driver.

TheNerd's nominees:
