Using different server for Mozilla Weave

mozilla weave logo

Mozilla Weave is an experimental project from Mozilla Labs aiming to synchronize information of Firefox browser (like bookmarks, saved passwords, tabs, history…) across different computers using a simple extension.

Once installed and configured on each browser it automatically synchronizes these metadata offering the same personal data among different computers.

Since it is still experimental it suffers of some issues, like the most popular at the moment: the authentication problem. I don’t know if it is a server issue, but I can’t authenticate myself using the default settings.

Searching on forums I found a solution provided by some users: use a different server for storing metadata information. The fix suggested explain how to setup a weave server on myDisk.se (a very useful free webdisk).

Simply create an account on myDisk.se, create this directory structure: “user/youruser“, where youruser is your login name, then update the server URL on the advanced tab of the weave options (https://mydisk.se/youruser).

Sign in, synchronize et voilà, you can login again!

An extra advantage of this solution is that synchronizing is a lot faster than the overloaded (for now?) Mozilla default server.

Give it a try!

Scogger 0.2 for Wii and Gamecube is out!

Scogger for Wii is a porting I made of the “famous” Nintendo DS and PSP game Scogger I wrote a months ago.

The game is almost identical to the original, with same levels (10 random out of 100 avaiable, so each new game you get different levels!), except here you cannot use the stylus for obvious reasons, but it can take advantage of the wiimote!

Download & Installing

Note (30-oct-08): The Homebrew channel beta 9 requires .dols (or new compiled elfs), so I’ve recompiled Scogger to work with it. All downloads starting from today are Homebrew channer b9 compatible.
<br>

Download the package from here, and unpack it. There are 2 versions: gamecube and wii.

• The Wii version is ready for use with the homebrew channel. Just put the scoggerwii-0.2 (you can rename it) directory in the apps directory of your SD card, otherwise boot it with the Twilight Hack or other boot methods.
• The Gamecube dol can be booted it using SDLoad or other boot methods.

How to Play

The goal of the game is to make the frog jump over all the tree trunks.

You can use the Gamecube pad, the Wiimote, or the Wiimote d-pad.

The only avaiable direction the frog can move are forward, left and right (no diagonals), with no jump distance limit!

Remember that the frog cannot jump backward, and pressing B on the Wiimote (or A in the Gamecube pad) to restart the level!

Clean the stage to go to the next level (they are 10) or press (+) or START to go to the next one.

This trick is only avaiable if you make the so called “konami trick” (you know what is that, don’t you?) at the titlescreen, (with the exception “B” and “A” button are mapped to (-) and (+) on the Wiimote).

Scogger PSP 0.2 is out!

Scogger for PSP is a porting I made of the “famous” Nintendo DS game Scogger I wrote a month ago.

Since my girlfriend Valeria (L) gave me a PSP for Christmas, what a better chance to coding for it?

So Scogger was born, after just a couple of days for convertion.

The game is almost identical to the original, with same levels (10 out of 100 avaiable), except here you cannot use the stylus for obvious reasons, but it can take advantage of the larger and brighter screen to show how cool is it

E’ uscito Scogger 0.2 per PSP!

Scogger per PSP è una conversione del “famoso” gioco per Nintendo DS, Scogger, che ho scritto un mese fa.

Visto che la mia fidanzata Valeria (L) mi ha regalato una PSP per Natale, quale migliore occasione per programmarci sopra=

Ed è così che è nato Scogger, dopo un po di giorni per la conversione.

Il gioco è quasi identico all’originale, con gli stessi livelli (10 a caso sui 100 disponibili), eccetto che non si può usare il pennino per ovvie ragioni, ma trae vantaggio da uno schermo più grande e più brillante per far vedere quant’è figo

Scogger 0.2 DS is out!

This is the new version of Scogger!

Scogger is a simple puzzle game, released in occasion of the Annual drunkencoders christmas game coding competion.

The goal of the game is to make the frog jump over all the tree trunks.
