Al — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 23:14:52 +0000

Renamed from android-tts-widget, PhoneVoice is now on the Android Market. Search for ‘PhoneVoice’ or get the QR code from here.

The source code is available for those interested at the Google Code project page.

Special thanks to my mate Raf for the icon.

Received my free N1 from Google today, as part of the device seeding program. Phone is sweet but I don’t think I can survive with only a soft keyboard so I’ll keep my G1 on me for now… Also, AndChat really flies on the N1 compared to the G1. Looking forward to solving the problems specific to 2.1 that I’ve never been able to reproduce on the emulator but users keep contacting me about.

AndChat Donate available on Market

I’ve put up a donate version of AndChat in the Market for anyone who doesn’t mind paying £1.99 for my efforts. If you haven’t got a Google Checkout account or credit card, you can make a donation via PayPal.

For anyone curious/worried, the free version is not a ‘lite’ or ‘trial’ version, the only difference between the 2 is the ‘About’ screen. AndChat will always be free but a contribution is always appreciated.

AndChat is now on the Market

Al — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:42:02 +0000

AndChat, previously AndroidIRC, has now been published to the Android Market (fashionably late of course). You can get all the details on the new site, AndChat.net, or just search for pname:net.andchat in the Market app.

Note to users of AndroidIRC, you can install the new app and transfer your settings/server profiles over if you have root.. If you do, then see root.txt.

Edit: By request, it has been made available to download from the site. Visit the download page to get it.

Android TTS Widget

Al — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:39:11 +0000

Ever been busy with something and someone, who you can call back later, rings you, interrupting what you’re doing? Yeah, me too.

So I wrote a widget so you can easily enable text to speech notifications telling you the name of the person calling or texting you.

Inspired by this project on xda devs, I decided to write an app from scratch since that app never worked for me and you couldn’t easily enable or disable it.

The app is open source and is available at Google Code Hosting.

AndroidIRC (Multiserver) released!

Al — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 16:36:13 +0000

And a new website design for it as well! The old one was hand coded over SSH and looked very ugly, the new design is a bit more organized.

The new client has support for multiple servers, as well as things missing in the single server client, timestamps, detection of network connectivity change (so it disconnects quicker without lag), etc. It’s still a work in progress, so feel free to give feedback and ideas.

Go to the site.

AndroidIRC Multiserver screenshots

I’ve been doing some work on getting AndroidIRC to support multiple servers and have made good progress. It’s not fully usable at the moment but I decided to put some screenshots up of the work in progress.

The chatwindow GUI hasn’t been fully implemented yet, I’ll put up a mockup that was done for me showing what I eventually want it to look like a bit later.

As usual, feedback is appreciated.

On a side note, I’m well into my exam period, wish me luck
