liqbase is not complete, but it is usable, I draw and write with it every day.

I remember what I need for dinner.
I recall code ideas.
I write down bugs.
I design interfaces.
I review and recall and smile.
I play with resizing and moving things around.
most of all, I like to doodle.

It saved my bacon in Berlin.

Its installed on an mmc on my machine and runs directly out of a source folder.
It needs cleaning up and polishing and it can be a really nice end user app with a killer set of features from what I've just seen at the summit

There are bugs - quite deep within something occasionally locks - it can be kill -9ed but it shouldnt happen and it runs over the same code millions of times a day and gets vigerous testing and i believe its nothing in the code I am writing.
It is not hildonized and will close itself if you either lock the device, press home menu key, or the screen dims. All sortable but rarely an issue because everything is SO fast closing and reopening the application at will is painless.

it has hard written paths for the sketches (/media/mmc1/_apg it used to be /home/user/MyDocs/_apg so on the off chance you have some old sketches)

I've unsynced from the svn so far now someone will have to rematch it up - its hurting my head to think about it.

It would be great if a few people would run through the code and remove any obvious mistakes or additions which may have crept in and it would be great if those intrepid people managed to identify and document all the fixed paths I know I've put in.

Its written in an evolving pattern, earlier modules use one toolkit to be replaced wholesale by ones with a new iteration.

I'm tempted to let you lot have a copy of my notes.
They describe the changes and tweaks and observations I've made with the code over time, once I get the tagging and grouping code in place I will tag and export them for you.

I would like to hope liqbase can grow into an amazing application not just for this device, but for future devices as well.

This will be a private beta stage and I will need some help in setting up a lot of things, let me know here if you are interested and how you can help.

I'll amend this with a youtube video once I find the lead to the camera.


Here it is, note - there is a lack of a Northern accent this time, I'm coming down with some sore throaty thing and my voice sounds worse than usual.

################################################## #

Open beta package is available on liqbase.net (save you reading all the notes)
http://liqbase.net/

There are extensive notes about each are now, so pop over to liqbase.net to see.

People have noted there is a graphical glitch when run for the first time.
If this occurs, just press esc to close and reopen and it should be gone.
Its being investigated now.
