New Song: The Doorway

Finally wrote a new song…. Actually, finished it up sometime last week, but my microphone was horrible, so I just finished re-recording the lyrics and re-mixing it, it sounds *much* better. I don’t do lyrics much, so this is pretty new to me, let me know what you think.

Cheesetracker 0.9.0-rc3

I didn’t post this last night, because the binaries were still uploading to my site. 😉 So reduz seems to have worked out all of the kinks in the endianness issues in previous cheesetrackers, and now it’s fully functional on OSX with a native Qt/Mac build! I’ve got a couple of screenshots if you want to check it out. I’ve made native builds for both Jaguar and Panther: Jaguar Panther The only bug left is the one where an existing preference file causes it to hang indefinitely. Reduz thinks he has a fix for the issue; I’ll put new binaries together from the final release. In the meantime, delete ~/.cheesetracker_QT before you start it up. Whoohoo!

Updated Cheesetracker

I’ve updated the cheesetracker tarball. It’s built with Qt 3.2.0, and also has some library path fixes so that it will properly load on systems that don’t have libraries that look exactly like mine (ie, there was a bug in the install_name for a couple of the libraries inside the app bundle). Please give it a shot and let me know if it works any better for you. There are still a couple of known issues:

You must delete ~/.cheesetracker_QT every time you plan on running it. It doesn’t properly read it’s configuration files for some reason, and spins out of control. Loading IT files doesn’t work correctly. It seems to be an endian issue of some kind, but I’m not sure. XM and S3M files work just fine. Share on Facebook

New Song

I’ve just finished up a new song, called “Moone”. It’s got a kind of lazy chip-tune sound, I think it turned out pretty nice. Feedback is welcome, be it bad or good. 😉

Cheesetracker Works!

After a night of mad hacking, reduz and I (mostly reduz 😉 got cheesetracker working! It’s still rough around the edges, and has problems with IT-loading (maybe endianness?) but it works. You can download it here.

Cheesetracker Updated

CheeseTracker has released a new version. For those who have been following my music troubles, I’ve been looking for a non-sucky tracker on Mac OS X. Now, not only has he rewritten a lot of the code, he’s ported it to use Qt!

That means I can build it with Qt/Mac, and have a native, supported tracker!

Happy day!

Update:

It freakin’ built out of the box! Check out some screenshots.

reduz and I are working on putting together a sound driver right now. Hopefully we’ll have something soon.

New Song

It appears my writer’s block is definitely over, I wrote another song. You can get it from my music page, it’s called “Stowe”. The Impulse Tracker module is available as well, but it’s interesting only for technical reasons, the MP3 has post-processing and effects that aren’t available in the IT file. Comments are always welcome, let me know what you think.

New Music

Well, after a weekend of no TV and lots of setting up of software, I finally managed to write a new song. Please let me know what you think, it feels good to be writing something again.

Updated Package Dependencies

With drm’s help, I’ve cleaned up some of the package dependencies for KDE, and it looks like everything is set now. The bindist has been updated with 3.1.1 for those who do an apt-get update, so you no longer need to build KDE 3.1.1. KOffice and KDevelop still aren’t working right yet, I’m not sure when I’ll have a chance to look at it, but pogma thinks he may have some libtool fixes that will affect it. On a personal note, I finally bit the bullet and spent all of yesterday and half of today putting Windows 98se (ugh) back on my PC so I can run Impulse Tracker. Here’s to hoping it won’t be necessary for much longer.
