iPhone apps

I've made some iPhone apps! Primarily an RSS reader that syncs with Google Reader. You should check the descriptions and installation instructions here.

I've still got to get the names set up properly in cydia, but these are minor details. The important thing is that the apps should (hopefully) install, and perhaps even work :D

A better snap-open (for gedit)

snap-open is handy. Unfortunately, it's terribly crippled if you have a lot of files, since:

  • it uses the linux find command, instead of an index-based file list
  • it doesn't run in a separate thread, so it locks up your entire GUI while it goes off to trawl your file heirarchy every time you change a letter in the find box

So I fixed it a bit. It is now threaded, and uses the linux locate command. This is still not ideal, it would be much better to use beagle. But I couldn't figure out how to do that real quick, so locate it is (for now).
