Space Trader ZE
Still a long way from release (and hasn't been worked on for a few months) but this is essentially a Java based rewrite of Pieter Spronk's fantasic Space Trader for the Zaurus SL platform.
The pictures below are in-development screen shots and don't necessarily represent what it will finally look like. Certainly things like the icons need replacing with my own!
At some point in the future I will open source this code so anyone interested can hack about on it!

Excerpts from the Staggering Stories Podcast:
Doctor Who: The Eleventh HourSat, 10 Apr 2010 17:11:01 +0000
High praise has been thrust upon it from all directions it seems and, I’m afraid, my own opinion of Doctor Who: The Eleventh Hour mirrors those plaudits.
It would have been a remarkable piece of television even if we’d never heard of Doctor Who before. That it was so amazing when we were all so used [...]
Is Media Nostalgia a Thing of the Past?Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:58:41 +0000
Last night I found myself stuck in a YouTube chain of watching late 70s, early 80s children’s TV opening credits. It all started with looking up Floella Benjamin on Wikipedia (after hardly believing that was really her in the Sarah Jane Adventures yesterday – she looked far too young but it was, nonetheless, her!). That [...]
QuatermassSun, 27 Sep 2009 11:24:06 +0000
Quatermass – the 1950s granddaddy of British Science Fiction TV.
In our next podcast (number 55, due out any minute!) we discuss, amongst other things, the original Quatermass trilogy (as written by Nigel Kneale) and the film remakes it spawned. Given we won’t be giving too much background information I’ll take this opportunity to explain it [...]
There are conventions and there are conventions…Thu, 24 Sep 2009 21:23:34 +0000
The Time & Again DWAS convention will only be allowing people from the one particular podcast to record any conversations with the guests. Clearly they are well within their rights to do so but it has ruffled a few feathers, to say the least.
A heated debate raged on Twitter earlier this evening between one podcaster [...]
Whooverville 2009 Podcast PanelTue, 15 Sep 2009 13:13:13 +0000
Whooverville was more than a Doctor Who convention, for me at least. A historic meeting of so many Doctor Who podcasters.
It all began on a slightly chilly Butterley Train Station platform at 10AM on Sunday 6th September 2009. Four of our Staggering Stories team (Karen, Jean, Keith and myself, Adam) stumbled onto the platform to [...]
The TARDIS – New and OldThu, 27 Aug 2009 12:36:09 +0000
Rumours abound about the new TARDIS set. It was only a matter of time before news of the new TARDIS interior leaked, perhaps we have already reached that point. Someone (sorry, I’ve no idea who) posted the following to (I believe) gallifreybase.com, before it was allegedly removed and then copied by various websites around the [...]
