Squeezer 0.6 released

I've just released a new version of Squeezer -- an Android application for controlling Logitech Squeezebox servers and their attached players.



Originally developed by Brian Brad Fitzpatrick up to version 0.5, this release features a wealth of new features, many of which are due to significant contributions by Kurt Aaholst. These include:

• Browse your music library by album, artist, song, genre, and year.
• Search across the library.
• Internet radio support (browse staff picks, search)
• Scrobble tracks if Last.fm is installed on your Android device.
• A revamped UI.

You can install Squeezer from the Android Market. It's free, and open source. If you'd like to contribute the main project pages are on Google Code Hosting at http://code.google.com/p/android-squeezer/, and the code is on GitHub, https://github.com/nikclayton/android-squeezer.

EuroBSDCon 2009

A couple of weekends ago I attended the 2009 European BSD Conference, in Cambridge.

My trip report has just been posted on the official Google Open Source Blog, and includes a few of my photos from the event.

Subversion UK User Group / Google open source jam writeup

Last Thursday (the 18th) I attended two open source events in London. The first was the third Subversion UK User Group meeting, and the second was Google's second Open Source Jam.

Subversion UK User Group / Google Open Source Jam, 18th January 2007

If you're in London on Thursday 18th January and you've got an interest in Subversion then you might want to come along to the next Subversion UK User Group meeting. It's at 3pm, there are directions and sign up instructions at that link.

I'll be there, giving a tour of the Subversion related applications and tools that are available in the Perl space.

And after that it's the first London Google Open Source Jam of 2007 -- an opportunity to catch up with other open source developers, and find out more about interesting projects that people are working on.

SVN::Web and Google Code Hosting

You're probably aware of Google's code hosting service. They use Subversion as their revision control system, so if you want to contribute to a project hosted there you really need a Subversion client.

I was reading the FAQ for the hosting service the other day and a particular entry struck me.
