I just discovered the perfect solution to one of my biggest problems in recent memory, i.e. controlling playback of my music playing on my Home Entertainment Computer. It’s called mpd and I love it. I love it I love it I love it I love it. Why didn’t anyone tell me about this earlier? It lets me remote control music playback on my entertainment machine from virtually any device in my flat. Well, I don’t think there’s an mpd client for coffee brewers yet, but still.

One of the last small collateral projects I participated in during my time at HIIT has now been released.
It’s a video.
More precisely a small demo video showing a usage scenario for a small demo application (yes, the keywords are small and demo) tying together some of the technologies we’ve used in a bigger project. The technologies include a speech synthesizer, a 2D bar code reader and something under the hood that I can’t remember.
Why bother? Because I play one of the leading parts in this blockbuster. View it here. Oh, and have a look at the project page here.
Since I can’t continue as an Assistant Researcher at HIIT after I graduate as Master, I had to find myself a new job. As it turned out, this process took only a month, from submitting the application to signing the contract. So, from August 1st, I’ll be working as Front-end UI Designer at Roottori.
Now I can really start enjoying what’s left of my 7 weeks of holiday.
I did it. I finally did it. I’m done studying. All that remains is to get my diploma on June 12th.
So, bring on the job offers! I’m available from August 1st. ;)
There’s now only 1 credit unit between me and my Master’s degree. My Thesis is done and accepted, all exams are written and I just submitted an application to get my Laudatur and Other Studies entries into the register. Now there’s only a 1 cu Maths assignment left to complete. Let’s see if I manage to get it done before the end of next week…
