Watch Football on the Internet

April 19th, 2008 by chris

As a certain important derby game isn’t being televised tomorrow, (and there being no chance of getting a ticket) i’ve had to find a different way to watch the game… on the internet via P2P!

First off you’ll need some software to watch the games, I chose SopCast which is now adware. There’s an easy way of stopping that though, just block sopadver.exe from connecting to the net with a firewall. Now open SopCast and press Login to ‘Login as anonymous’. Hopefully you’ll then be able to see some sort of new window.

Now you need to find an address of a channel showing your game. The best way I found was to sign up for this forum:

http://www.football4less.com/forums

Then go down to the forum called ‘Live Football’, and try and find a thread about your game. Wallah, watch to your hearts content!

Slant for Sansa E200 [176x220]

April 4th, 2008 by chris

I’ve just finished my port of the Rockbox theme ‘Slant’ for the Sansa E200. It uses a standard Rockbox build, been as the Album Art and Scrolling Margins patches have been commited.

  • Use’s Album Art of 85px square.
  • If no Album Art is present then, the song info is centred.
  • Clean layout.
  • No animated volume and battery icon due to small space.

iPod Rockbox Build

April 4th, 2008 by chris

If you’re looking for my iPod Rockbox builds then unfortunately I stopped supportingĀ them a while ago. Most of the patches I used to include are now in the standard rockbox build now anyway so you’re better off just downloading a current build from here: http://build.rockbox.org/.
