I have been working on a website for 'Rockbox Themes' : http://rockbox-themes.redbreva.com/, which has taken up a fair amount of time to date, and is still a *looong* way from being finished.
For the Bank Holiday weekend we had house guests - Arthur & Margaret Finikin, so no PC time to speak of there.
On Wednesday, I took a trip to Russells Hall Hospital and had surgery on my abdominal hernia, and since then sitting up for more than a few minutes at a time has been a little uncomfortable. Much better this afternoon, so hopefully I will be able to get about a little more easily by the start of next week.
Finally on Thursday, my iPod Nano 4GB arrived..!! It was taken out of the box, plugged into the PC and wiped, within 30 minutes it was wrapped in a pale blue 'iPod Nano Tube' and running Rockbox :-) I have managed to take a little time out and reworked my iRiver theme :
to work with some colour on the slightly larger iPod Nano screen
and again larger still for the H300 / iPod Color
So far I am really pleased with the Nano, I have 34 albums on there and a folder of 170 'Misc Singles' altogether some 42 hours worth of music. Battery life is quite poor at present: about 8 hours (The Apple firmware is good for about 14 hours) - Rockbox is still in the very early stages for iPod - but is adequate for it's intended use - in the Gym. Charging is via the USB connection, so I have ordered a 'Travel Kit'... It's a Mains Plug and a Car Cigarette Lighter adaptor that take a usb connection.
