XM Radio Widget for Tiger...
« on: August 11, 2005, 08:42:11 AM »
I think there are what two fo us who use Mac's? Well, I see its slow because of the Quakecon foos and I have been feverishly programing. Its been a long time since a project like this lit such a fire under my ass. Anyway I am gonna copy in the message that I left on the xm441.com forums.

Okay, I am not completely sure this is ready for prime time, but here it goes.
http://downloads.shadoworks.net/XMRadio.wdgt.zip There it is. Here are some notes about it and its current state.

First a HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks to Hawkman. http://www.phantomgorilla.com/ He made the BBC Radio Widget that I freaking adore! What more is I have learned so much from his Widget. I didn't know javascript before starting this little project. This is what I would consider a hack together app. I would like help in cleaning it up in the future. So again Hawkman, thanks for giving me a base to stand on! I have left all his comments intact. I have been unable to contact him for explicit permision, but since he has mentioned that he used a snippet of opensource code from another project, I don't think he will mind. If he does, this will disapear real quick.

Okay, to the Widget!

This has been two solid days of work for me. I hope you enjoy.
1: As of right now, its UGLY, I say that because the images I used are NOT pretty! They were before I mangled the dimentions to fit my needs.
2: Song info doesn't automagicly update right now. You have to click in the area of the song info, it will attempt to refresh.
3: Error checking and timeout code is lacking. If there is a problem with your internet connnection, this widget will freeze up. You can still close it with the manager, I just thought that I would mention it.
4: I will prolly think of more things after I post this. I hope that you all can give me some feed back.

Planed work for the near future:
1.All new graphics. Yes, I want to make it pretty.
2.Saving of prefrences.
3.General clean up of code.

Disclaimer: I don't know where you got that file, I don't know what you did with it, its none of my bussiness. I will not be held responsible. Unless..... its something good then yeah, I did it!

later.
