using the wiimote as joystick/mouse for openmsx under linux

You will need a working bluetooth system on your PC or laptop. I won't describe how to do that :)

cwiid

This is a library for wii interfacing via bluetooth. It allows to map wii axes and buttons on the X mouse or buttons via a userspace input driver called "wminput". This driver is controlled via a simple configuration file. It works with a set of plugins that provide various forms of translation of wii bluetooth events to axes and key/button events.

1) wiimote sends  an event via bluetooth
2) a wminput plugin (as configured in the config file) handles the event and translates it to an axis or button/key event
3) the config file specifies how to map this axis or key on a mouse or joystick or button

erlang parse simple config file

In erlang there is a simple way of making config files, just use file:consult/1.
It parses a file that contains erlang terms terminated by a dot.

Given this input file:

{hello, world}.
foo.
42.

It can be used like this:

file:consult("test.txt").
{ok,[{hello,world},foo,42]}

neat eh?

last.fm rocks!

I already wrote a review (also in Dutch) of last.fm some time ago, but I have to praise it again as it works so amazingly well!

I've been listening to my Loved Track Radio the last two days and it just makes me so happy listening to one super song after the other.

If you haven't tried it yet, be sure to give it a try. I'm not a big fan of flash but the flash player on the website works just fine.
