Design decision for logview4net and a new release.

January 2, 2008 · Comment 

New year, new release.

This release incorporates the performance  fixes that were maid last week after some user feedback.

I still have no intentions to turn logview4net into a full featured log parser, but now it can handle much bigger datasets than before. If I get some bright ideas it might get faster still. The problem is that I load all existing data into the textbox that shows the data. So if you add a file or SQL listener and there is lots of data already there and you choose to show it all; logview4net will treat each row as a separate message and show each message one at a time.

The design decision I’ve made for logview4net is that all listeners are treated as being forward only data. This means that I can’t get past time data from a listener, it will send new data to the part of the program I call the viewer. The viewer is essentially the textbox that shows all formatted data. This decision was made because I’d rather have lots of available datasources than a fast way to look at old data. logview4net was initially and primarily built to be a real time log viewer/monitor, not a log parser to use on historic data.

If I only worked with random access data I could take the same approach as Kiwi Log Viewer and load only the data that the use can see at the moment. I have some ideas on how to merge these worlds and I’ll probably use the blog to make them more tangible for myself.

The changes made to release 8.01 removed lots of processing time when receiving an event but the greediest part is the RichTextBox that comes with the .Net Framework so I’m looking for a replacement for that.

September 13, 2007 · Comment 

I just did a new release of jsiPodFetch.

Unless I get distracted by user reported errors the next release will include support for downloading media via BitTorrent.

CHANGE LOG

  • Fixed an error because of mismatch between the meta data and the file system that could happen if a user for some reason killed the process in the wrong millisecond.
  • Added call in uninstaller to remove jsiPodFetch related data
  • Added -uninstall as a commandline argument to remove all jsiPodFetch related data. (To be used by the uninstaller.)
  • Fixed a bug that left done files on the player.
  • Now detects when a USB device is added or removed and does a refresh automatically.

First service release of jsiPodFetch

August 27, 2007 · Comment 

Today I did the first service release of my podcast downloader; jsiPodFetch.
The new version is 7.35 (I use year and week for version numbering) and this is what i have fixed since 7.33:

  • App disappears when minimizing.
  • Blue ‘light’ turned of after first downloaded item. Even if there were more.
  • It takes to long to open the initial window.
  • Items in new feed wasn’t downloaded until restart of application.
  • The free space calculation fails when copying files.
  • Add a license dialog to installer.
  • Removed the question for folder on start when the player is not connected.
  • Send user to website on F1
  • Missing data in feeds causes internal exceptions. (Changed exception text. Errors on per item, not per feed.)
  • Lowering the size limit on the player while having ‘to much’ data on the player will create internal errors. (The app works OK though.)

jsiPodFetch is an application that helps when listening to podcasts in phones or other media players. It downloads media to your PC, creates a playlist and copies the media to your player.

Official release of jsiPodFetch

August 19, 2007 · Comment 

At last I have released a beta of jsiPodFetch:

Make it easier to listen to podcasts with your phone or media player.

jsiPodFetch will download the audio files from your podcast RSS feeds and create a playlist for optimal listening order.

Downloaded media is stored on your PC until you mark them as done.

jsiPodFetch is in beta and can be downloaded here.

More information and documentation will be provided shortly.

jsiPodFetch is freeware now, but please take a look at my advertisers to support the future development.
