The iTunes 7.2 problem has been resolved by Alastair Tse who makes the extremely powerful EyeTunes framework which had a new build today.

Whoa, that was a close one.... Thanks Alastair!

As far as I can see iTunes 7.1 7.2 has broken Corripio. Corripio uses Apple Events to communicate with iTunes, all of that seems to not be working… So I will start trying to figure out what the hell happened… Shakes fist at Apple…

Update: So after further digging, it seems to be that “Apple Events” are still intact, however the persistent IDs for the songs are overflowing (they were 64-bit already!). So it is not as bad as I thought, I hope to have a solution shortly.

Following Desmond Elliott’s footsteps in blogging about his experiences with Google Summer of Code and Camino, I will be starting up my own blog on GSoC. It will be launched sometime next week. Once it goes public all of my Camino/Tabpos

Yesterday we had the first scoping meeting for my GSoC project. After we made some preliminary decisions in the meeting, I set out to make some mock-ups of how I envision Tabpos

After months of retooling, Corripio 0.7 has finally landed. There are many new features in this version. I have learned a lot from developing Corripio over the past year and a half. This release was focused on fixing the things I didn’t know in the beginning. 0.7 was a major re-write of the code base and a new jab at the UI.

The biggest feature that I am most excited about is the ability to add user generated scripts. This will add legs to Corripio by being able to evolve quickly to new sites and databases. If you make a script, send it to me and I’ll put it on the site.

Now i’m off to start on Corripio • News •

I know it has been forever since there has been a Corripio release. I also know that I have been telling some of you it’s coming “soon.” Well now I can say that it will be here before the end of the month. I have been contemplating releasing a 0.6.1, however there are too many bugs in the 0.6 trunk that it is not worth it. Version 0.7 has been a complete overhaul of the codebase. This means stability and speed have improved drastically.

The biggest new feature is the ability to add any scripts to search for artwork and lyrics. These can be written in any language that the system supports, so Ruby, Python, Lua, PHP, ect. All the script has to do is take a command line argument like jeff@iMac$ ruby ~/artwork.rb The Beatles Abbey Road and return a string of newline delimitated image links or lyrics.

So if you are interested in testing go ahead and signup for notifications here or check out the latest builds.
