Rockbox have just made a major release version 3.0. It’s over three years in the making.

I first contributed to rockbox 2 years ago when I was trying to get a decent firmware to run on my Toshiba Gigabeat X30. Needless to say, Rockbox firmware totally rocks.

Liberate your not-so-new mp3 player today!

Update: Looks like their servers are getting slammed atm, might take a while to get some firmware goodness, it’s well worth the wait.

Took me a while to relearn my GIMP foo to get the grey-scale mask and desaturate the colour portions.

I also took some time to clean up the theme, ngatini 1.1, which had some malformed html in the footer. It’s been a long time since I hacked in PHP. I’m going to try and find some time to clean up the stylesheet in the coming days/weeks as the css seems a bit heavy for what it’s doing, in particular it seems to have some float overuse .

While I was at it I updated to WordPress 2.5.1 and hacked on the output from the About-Me sidebar widget. It now has an extra option to turn the heading for the sidebar into a link to an about me page (to expand on the one paragraph intro). I’ll look to fill in that page some more in the coming days/weeks also.
