I upgraded the blog to WordPress 2.1.2 using the latest SVN K2 theme. Main reason is because the latest wordpress has better Mac support and the new K2 theme can be customized more easily.

No it’s not a new application. It’s the new name for TSCManager. At the time that name made sense to me :)
Release notes:

  • N: Group rename (select group node, edit group combo, hit save)
  • I: Application renamed to RemoteDesktopManager.

    The release can be downloaded at: Sourceforge.

    • reacTIVision for Quartz Composer

    I started development of a TUIO Patch for Quartz Composer. TUIO is the protocol used by the reactable project which is a “state-of-the-art multi-user electro-acoustic music instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface”. The visual engine behind reactable is reacTIVision. When an so called “fiducial” is recognized by the engine it’s X, Y and Angle are send over the TUIO protocol to any listening client. The TUIOClient for Quartz Composer is such a client.

    The code status is not much more then a proof-of-concept, but you can drop Tuio patches on your compositions which have an X, Y and angle as output parameters. The scaling is wrong (only middle part of compositions works). The code is Cocoa with the Java TUIO client. Maybe I will port the client to Objective-C. Help would be appreciated.

    Download the QC plugin, the XCode source and a very basic sample here.

    When I came across this movie:

    I was pretty amazed. While reading the comments on this blog I found out that the dudes at MactelChat had made a version for VirtueDesktops (the one I use since it is more actively developed than DesktopManager. The only problem I had was that it needed me to go to the terminal to start it.

    So I decided to code (my first) XCode AppleScript application that does the trick. As a bonus I added a preference pane to change the values as supported by the mactelchat app.

    If you are interested you can download the app here (includes XCode project): SlapBook
