| | I had some time to kill today, so I rewrote the DLC api in Ruby. If you use JDownloader you'll know how useful the DLCs are, essentially they allow you to contain all the links from a variety of online hosting sources in one place with any passwords that might be needed. All this data is also kept encrypted to prevent people from poking around inside and stealing the links! Now, should you wish to create one of these DLCs there's a handy ruby API I've built thats so simple you can even use it from irb! Enjoy.

| | I've posted the scripts used to generate the anti-aliased text used in the User Interface. The first is a Photoshop script,CreateFontData.jsx. This makes a set of PNG files, one for each character. The second isConvertText.py, a Python script that takes the output of CreateFontData and generates C code for display the characters on the Epson LCD used in the project. Note these scripts have some hard-coded pathnames in them (to the development folder) but this is pretty easy to find and modify.
