New Widgets
iaian7 » blog John Einselen, 31.07.09I’m not much of a programmer; it’s a hobby from time to time (especially when I’m bored), but not exactly a talent. My dev cycle consists mostly of mashing together code till it stops crashing all the time. Not exactly the most efficient way to work, but the best I can hack together given my non-programmer logical processes and limited knowledge of javascript. That said, the past month I’ve been able to refine some basic utilities and expand my programming knowledge a bit; as of this evening, there’s a new section here on the site (iaian7.com/dashboard) and I’ve posted my first official widgets. Enjoy!
Ratio – an Apple OS X Dashboard widget for calculating common screen resolutions of various sizes. Includes presets for HD, NTSC, PAL, Apple iPhone, Microsoft Surface, Fullscreen and Widescreen PC, and more. My first actual widget, so it’s been redone a few times… certainly a learning experience, but I’ve found it pretty useful myself.
LipSync – a dashboard widget for converting Moho format phoneme animation files into Lightwave envelopes or After Effects keyframes. Preston-Blair and Simplified Flash phoneme sets are included along with user definable sets. If your lipsync needs are basic, this is one of the faster (and cheaper) solutions I’ve found so far.
