Yep, school has started. I’m only taking 3 classes (out of the usual 4), but I’m doing a ton to keep myself busy, including research and holding office hours for Harvard’s Systems class.

I reinstalled Mac OS X to my laptop (which is a PC). It now dual boots OS X Lion, and I plan on reinstalling Ubuntu to another hard drive so I can mess with the kernel some more. I keep telling myself that I’ll get around to making the ISBN scanner app, but things always keep coming up.

It’s been a month since I’ve posted, so I guess I’ll update you on what I’ve been doing over the past month.

I used Sandcastle to generate documentation for my C# playlist shuffler, and I’ve added it to GitHub pages.

Depending on feedback, I’ll decide later if I should redo the iTunes music library locating wizard or just make it automatic.

Update: Microsoft has stopped development of Sandcastle, but it has been forked to GitHub.

The playlist shuffler has been updated. I added graphics, a working info pane with scrolling capabilities, and a thumbnail toolbar that allows the user to control the player (sadly, I can’t change playlists via jump lists, which would’ve been awesome). For the final release, I plan to add all documentation and a spec, and maybe a mess around with searching for the iTunes Music Library.

Alright, the first playlist shuffler release I planned for is up. In addition to adding playlist support, I tweaked the xml for playlist use, which is generated from reading the results of the iTunes importer. I also added an installer and a sort of messy set up wizard that grabs the iTunes playlists.

After a week’s break, I decided to attempt making a C# Music Player in the form of a Deskband.

But that absolutely failed.

Specifically, my computer did not agree with registering my deskband player in the registry no matter what I tried, so I had to go to a Windows Form Application.

The final version of tic tac toe is now ready for its first release.

You can download the source code for the application on the GitHub page. I’ve also uploaded the formal documentation to view as well.

I’d post more, but I’m a combination of happiness and exhaustion right now, so I’m going to grab some sleep :)

After slaving away on the applet, trying to launch it on this site, I find out by searching some forums that this server doesn’t support applets.

:(
