I am happy to announce that the MP3 player is making huge leaps progress-wise, and is nearly ready to deploy. I have almost finished a Perl script that will handle all of the faceplate controls, and control the mpg123 player using a FIFO pipe. I load the mpg123 program as background process, and send commands to load, fast forward, play etc...
I have also built a shuttle deck to hold the whole assembly, since my truck just got busted into AGAIN. Can't risk having the new stereo stolen can I?
Still Working On Some Server BugsDec 6 2002
In case any of you were wondering, there are still some issues with the forum. I had to make the filesystem automatically touch all of the php files in order to prevent Apache from continuing to munge the cache-expiry times of the scripts that generate the forums. I also had to change some other people's scripts in order to get them working with register_globals turned off (you know who you are). Please let me know if you encounter any other problems. Check the archives for more details.
