Glee Premieres Tonight on Fox

There's been a ton of hype and chatter about Fox's new show, Glee. They boldly previewed an episode back in May and it was a smash success. People are full of glee. I know I am.

Here are a few sneak-peek snaps to get you excited for the season.

gPodder on Maemo 4 gets a facelift

I finally got around to redesign parts of the dialogs in gPodder for Maemo 4, because some dialogs were still not really finger-friendly and usable. It's still a work-in-progress, but it looks really slick already and the whole UI is completely finger-friendly.

Let me show you some highlights (gPodder 0.17.0 is the current version available in Maemo Extras and "some old version" is from April 2008):


Pretty icons and slicker UI for the main window (compared to the same window in gPodder 0.17.0 and some old version).


The updated podcast directory dialog allows easy discovery of new content (compared to the same dialog in gPodder 0.17.0 and some old version).


The new episodes dialog shows more text and has finger-friendly rows (compared to the same dialog in gPodder 0.17.0 and some old version).


You will be able to filter the episode view and only show downloaded or unplayed episodes (a new feature!).

The complete set of screenshots can be found on Flickr.
