Believe it or not, I'm not dead. I've just been overly busy for quite some time.

So what's been happening ? The usual, work, work, work. Fix a computer, work, fix another computer. Write a bit of software, etc.

What have I written ?

I wrote a front end for a GBA application. Then spent some time hacking what the application builds so I can incorporate that into my app. Which I haven't done yet :(

Then I downloaded psp radio and finally got that to work after much messing about. However you can't use native shoutcast playlist (pls) files. They need to be manually converted / edited to work in the playlist files that psp radio uses.

I'm not a fan of doing things by hand, that why we have computers, to simplify things. So I wrote an app that allows people to import single pls files and export them as one big playlist.

You can find V1.3 here. Simple usage:

Load it up. Import single playlists, double click to edit the names, then move the items to the right hand list, and export them. Copy that file to the correct directory on your psp and it's good to go.

Now, if anyone has a MAC OS X install CD (just disk 1), I'd be very happy. A friend was given an iBook (G3 / G4, I'm not sure) to fix. It was acquired during several company mergers and has been password locked. I bypassed the password on the Win2k machine he was given to fix, and got that working fine. The Mac however is starting to give me grief.

All I need is a copy of the first CD to reset the password, then I'm good to go. <sigh> People and their passwords....

Later....
