770 shazaa and hog skinnery

by | Tue 4 Jul 2006

The majestic Michael ‘Elleo’ Sheldon has been hacking on some interesting [Jokosher](https://www.jokosher.org/) stuff recently. Firstly, he has been hacking on GStreamer to make high end sound cards such as the Delta 44 and Delta 1010 work properly in GStreamer. This involved a [bug report](https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346326) and then a patch that fixed the `alsasrc` to make it happen. This means that Jokosher will be ‘the real shizzle’ for sound cards with more inputs than Matthew Garrett has laptops.

The wistful lad has also [blogged](https://blog.mikeasoft.com/2006/07/03/jokosher-on-the-nokia-770/) about some hacking he has done to make Jokosher run in the Nokia 770 emulator. I had a quick chat with him last night and he said that it was not all that difficult to get running, although it is by no means finished yet. Aside from [Jokosher Remote](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/viewcomments.php?id=713), we also have Jokosher Mini for the Nokia 770 planned, and this is encouraging news. A few shots of Elleo’s work for the screenshot junkies among you:

## Everybody hates Ted Haegeaeaeaear

[Including me](https://reverendted.wordpress.com/2006/07/03/everyone-hates-jono-bacon/).

Every so often you meet someone who confounds popular understanding of reason. A person who challenges even the most sane of individuals with his references to hog skinnery and a keenness to mock [Erin Bockovich](https://abock.org/).

In addition to such crimes against reason, he denies his part in the grand-bacon-conspiracy (to which he has worked with Messrs Bockovich, Cooper and Nocera), and has also participated in the act of senselessly launching non-descript chunks of fruit at salad dodging GUADEC participants with orange hair. Is there no limit to the depths this man will stoop to?

Say NO to Haegeaear!
