Oh my, I finally got my new pocket pc! I've only had it for a day but I'm very impressed with it so far. I let my friend borrow it for a bit and he put a big scratch right in the middle of the screen (thankfully I had put on a screen protector already) so I'm happy about the screen protector but sad about the scratch. No dead pixels on this pocket pc either which is obviously good. However, I do have the problem with the backlight staying on when pressing the power button to turn off the pocket pc. Apparently something to do with active sync according to Brighthand Forums. Anyways, hopefully I can start developing for it again. Maybe another puzzle game or maybe I'll look at doing some network-ish stuff. I also want to fix my old 2d graph control up so it can actually be used easily by other people. Anyways, I think that's it for me tonight. I'm off to watch some Hunter X Hunter before heading to bed. Hopefully it doesn't break -50'C tomorrow.

It's been really really cold here the last few days. Last night with wind chill it was -59'C (that's about -74F). Today at work we did an experiment with some hot water. We filled a cup with hot water and threw the water. Check out the picture it's pretty cool! (PS. That's not me in the picture)

Want a really simple video input application? Well I did and I couldn't find one that did what I wanted. Here is the list of basic features it has:

• always on top option
  
• border visible option
  
• show in taskbar option
  
• choose the video input device and source
  
• place the video panel to get rid of borders
  
• place the video window wherever you want on the screen
  
• save all options so don't have to setup more than once
  

If your interested goto the projects page or direct link to the Bunnyhug Video Input page.

Finally got motivated to put this online. As the description from the tools page says:

This program will let you send one for more files at a time to any of the Pocket PC emulators installed on your system. I originally used Alex Feinman's EmuCpy which is command line based and only lets you send one file at a time. I was sending enough files to the emulator that it became apparent to write a frontend to quickly send files over the Pocket PC.

Head on over to the projects page or direct link to the Pocket PC Emulator File Sender.

Still haven't got my new Pocket PC (Ipaq 4150) but I decided I should start doing some more coding at home. Hopefully I'll get the Pocket PC soon so I can start on some more games. I know I could use the emulator but I like to do testing on the actual hardware as well.
So anyways, I have 2 small utilities that I wrote that I will put up over the next few days.
