General Software Discussion / Re: My new program : Calibre2Opds

Well, for starters, I do use Calibre of course. It's more than capable of managing a library of PDF documents.
Also, calibre2opds (which moved here by the way) is also capable of generating both OPDS and HTML catalogs from your Calibre library, whatever formats your books are in (PDF included).
Cheers,
David.

General Software Discussion / My new program : Calibre2Opds
« on: February 19, 2010, 11:32 AM »
Hi fellow DonationCoders !

I've released a new version of my Calibre2opds program, and I think that it may interest some of you, even if it's quite a specialized piece of software...
But what does it do ?

If you use the wonderful Calibre to manage your eBook collection, my program will generate a very nice catalog both in HTML format (for use with any modern browser) and OPDS format (for use with Stanza, Aldiko or any other OPDS-compatible ebook reader).

Here is a nice tutorial about the previous version, which also shows how to use Dropbox to put your eBook collection in the cloud !

It's written in Java, so the prerequisites are simple : Java 1.5 ; and it's free !

Cheers,
David.

Living Room / Re: What are your favorite gadgets and gizmos?

"Ok, what is that ?" you may ask. Well, first of all, i don't know about your country but in France, people are getting pretty crazy about coffee machines called "Expresso-makers". It works like this : instead of putting coffee in a filter and waiting forever to enjoy your coffee, you buy single doses (it looks like this), put one in the expresso maker and you have a delicious coffee in a minute. Pros : it's very easy, very quick and the coffee is very good. Con : buying doses is WAY more expensive than buying traditional packs of coffee. This is where the little gizmo pictured above comes and changes your life : you fill it with any kind of coffee you like and put it in the expresso maker and voilà. This is the CycloDS Evolution of coffee makers.

Quite fun joke about homebrew !
If I may ask, where did you find this little, but very useful, contraption ?

Cheers,

Procedurally generating content in games is nothing new at all, as you cleverly remarked...
So basically every random roguelike are easy entries in this contest...
