Not quite: I have a paper sketch of a screen layout.
I need to figure out Glade, which I gather is the prototyping
environment of choice for complicated user interfaces.
As I've discussed before, though, primarily with Will, who's done much
of this already, though not all in one place, my goal is to create a
one-screen, full-screen interface that handles multiple playlists
(karaoke, background, sound-effects, etc), possibly driving multiple
outputs (my Terratec Phase 26USB will generate 3 stereo pairs to feed
my mixer), and potentially interface with wireless songbook tablets (my
current target is the Fujitsu Point 510 or 1600; the touchscreens of
which are 800x600, color, and don't require a pen).
How *have* things been going with your lashup these days?
I've relocated to Florida (Palm Bay), and am trying to set
up shop here as a KJ.
Well, no shit. Welcome to sunny (where, by sunny, right now I mean
'rainy') Florida.
I'm making some progress in that area
(feels like more sideways than forward movement though),
I can understand that.
but software projects are paying the bills right now. I've got
Was that what brought you here?
a lot of things as far as a hosting platform working on a by
hand basis; I use JACK for low-latency audio production, mplayer
for video/multimedia playback, xmms for filler music playlist
management and visualizations (projectM), and Firefox to display
rotation information on the screen. PyKaraoke is used for actual
CDG playback; I don't use 100% of the screen for it, but instead
leave a bar at the top and bottom now (top shows name of singer and
song title, bottom shows a smooth line-by-line scroller that shows
the next few singers and promotional texts). The HTML in use now
auto-generates the bulk of the screen via Javascript; I just fill
in names, song titles, and group assignments, and mark who's up,
and it auto-generates the rest, including the grid, who's next,
etc. There's a lot left to automate, as for now I run things by
hand as far as firing off new CDG songs, videos, etc.
Yep.
And it's that by hand stuff I want to package up and automate.
And where's your blog again?
[2]http://willfe.com/ I haven't written much in it lately, mostly
because the biggest reason I moved here in the first place turned
out to be one hell of a lie (it involved a woman, go figure) and
there just hasn't been much motivation to actually write.
Wow. That blew up? Damn; sorry, guy.
Cheers,
