looking at gui's

musicovery, liveplasma, megite-discover, clear forest gnosis and touchgraph.

we like good gui's. the musicovery moodamator is prima. this gui is functional and responsive. checkboxing discovery and non-hit, and moving the joystick such as when a call makes for mood change is great. it doesn't currently 'learn' your listening preferences or offer tracking like last.fm tho' offering greater immediate and direct control similar to deezer the frightening jukebox-like emulator alligator which does it all and no need for gui. listen by keyword!

more seriously, similar processes used for touchgraph - TGGoogleBrowser. will make a performance comparison against kartoo.com.

pimp some ware. hip 2 da max

set up pc on by mouse click ... base unit is awkward under desk. doesn't get accidentally triggered like keyboard. saving 4 seconds every power-on.

installed, and set-up, the mouse gesture extension application, easygestures


... bit like steering wheel, and offers similar exercise! may get some more buttons to make even more of this.


having no success with storing playlist (out-of-box), one click to next programme source, on vlc all-format player, but discovered it can open multiple feeds simultaneously, eg in any language combination speech + public service scanner + ambient/experimental + other music!!!! you can bleep craps out for life for you anyway. (this all gets set on its own workplace panel).

good stuff, well done, thanks for any tips, folks

third place?
