Rosie Wood commented on Rosie Wood's blog post 'How do I Pay Copyright on Media in Programs'

In the end I decided to let the customer add their own music to the game. I sent the idea for the game to the Scottish Centre For Enabling Technology (SCET) and they gave me very thorough feedback on the viability of the game as a business venture...

Hi Rosie, Depending on the type of Music you use their is set rates Really it all comes about classing your product correctly. In the eyes of the law your product would be classed as a Audio-Visual product availiable for retail If you were to us...

Wow - Thanks for the link! Just started reading his post on running an image through Audacity... I use the Tune Smithy sometimes to write algorhythmic music and Audacity to edit the sound files. I dont have a Linux machine at the moment (I miss it...

Like most things on the web there could be copyright issues. I'm new to Flickr and trying to find out about this now. I think I will need to add a search for licence type and only use royalty free work! I am in two minds on whether to keep working...

Looks like a really cool new addition for self-publishing designers and online music videos Rosie. Must have ago myself.

PolyFlick - Processing the Flickr API

I've been working with the Flickr API this week in the Processing IDE. I've still got a lot to learn but I managed to produce a digital animation with it. I set it up so I could take stills and save them to a file while the sketch is running. Be...

This is a Task Manager I wrote in Java. It should run in Linux as well as windows. It has an alarm and timer function and allows notes to be added to tasks.

This was a spin off from a Virtual Collaborative Working Project I designed for my degree project.

Solundria Java RPG Game
http://www.solundrian.com/
This is what I am working on at present. I did most of the coding in Java 1.3 back in 2004 but I had to abandon it to complete my degree in computing. It started life in JBuilder but now uses Java 6 in Netbeans. I'm in the process of tweaking it to work with Web Start. Although its not quite finished yet, it is extremely playable and the basic gameplay works fine. It can be downloaded in 2 minutes from the web site if you have Java Enabled. It gets updated regularly and at the moment I'm working on getting the items working again. Some of them now work....
Most of my time is spent coding so the graphics are.... erm a bit basic...

Changing Software to meet Copyright Law

I've been looking at copyright laws quite a lot this month and in the end I had to redesign the product so that it adhered to the copyright laws.
As a start up business there is no way I could afford a copyright lawyer and I have no inclination to provide a pirating service. The game I produce is not designed for a mass market and would be a one user product. Buying a copy of an MP3 for each product sold, would not have bothered my conscience very much as the artist would be getting a fee for th… Continue

How do I Pay Copyright on Media in Programs

Hayley, one of my favourite neices got married recently and I attended the wedding. It was set in the beautiful Ardoe House. The song chosen for the wedding ceremony was Let there be Love by the incomparible Nat King Cole.
I wrote a Snap Game in Processing featuring the beatiful wedding photos and on completion of ten snaps an mp3 of the song plays and the lyrics and more photos of the wedding are displayed. The background colour was chosen to match the bridesmaids dresses and I am using the tar… Continue

SEO - Willie Wallace V The Turd Finder

I'm between projects at the moment and spending time between researching new tech and SEO for my main web site.
I've slightly improved search by adding heading titles etc but I haven't updated search maps or anything.
I think coders often find it hard to take a step back and look at things from a business perspective. Linked in have a lot of info on SEO etc and Ive been reading up on some of the best ways to increase ranking etc. Apparently one tried and tested way is to have links on relevant w… Continue

Opening for Business

As a member of a company of one, it is hard to keep track of all the things that need doing to start a business online.
For the last few months I have been working on a new product called the "Snappy Birthday Game" . The game itself, is not cutting edge and the code is very simple, but it makes a good replacement for the usual birthday card and a copy can be sent to any email address. When the recipient completes 25 snaps they see the birthday message.
I have finally managed to get the payment p… Continue
