Another project I helped out a friend with, this time involving an arduino and some markov chains.

An interactive sound, light and smoke installation.

Back in april some friends of mine asked me to help with an installation for a couple of Red Bull events called “Misty Tropics.”

TinyCI 0.4 is out and as you might expect from the version number there are some new features.

• New configuration format
• Command interpolation
• after_all hook

More info in the rest of the post…

There have been two new versions of TinyCI released since launch. 0.2.0 added hooks/callbacks, and 0.3.0 added a handy compact script to compress old build directories.

In this post I’ll provide some details on the new functionality.

A small CLI app for generating podcast RSS feeds from a directory of files. Similar to dropcaster but much simpler, and it supports a wide variety of audio formats instead of just MP3.

Source/README here

The idea is to put a directory containing some audio files somewhere publically accessible over http, (dropbox works well) and then run this program to generate an RSS file, which can then be consumed by your podcast playing app of choice.

Episode dates are read from the last-modified times of the files, and Title and Description fields are taken from the episode tags.
