PC Finally Built!

Well I got home at about 5.30pm yesterday and after a little preperation I began work (At around 6pm). I finished work (With a little help from Scott) at around 10pm and have been tweaking, overclocking and installing software ever since! Finally I have my basics setup, like Photoshop and was able to transfer my...

New PC Rig On The Way!

Well after some careful re-consideration of my original choice of components, thanks to the Overclock3D reviews and forums, I managed to bring my PC under budget! Meaning I don’t have to wait until next months wages for the sakes of needing an extra £200. I had originally planned to get an Asus Striker II Extreme...

The results of the Darwin Race of Languages were posted earlier today, and I am pleased to say that I came in at a respectable third place!

Miro – Internet TV At Your Fingertips

Just a quick little post today about an application I stumbled across whilst installing FireFox 3 on my desktop PC (Which I have rarely used ever since I got my laptop!). Miro is an open-source internet TV application, that allows you to subscribe to video feeds from thousands of sources and has some great content...

The Darwin Race of Languages has come to an end for the developers involved, and it is now up to the rest of you to vote for who you want to win. After looking at some of the other entries, I am a bit concerned that I didn’t spend enough time on my User Interface...

Finally Upgraded To WordPress 2.6

But then, whilst browsing the internet I noticed a post about upgrading WordPress…...

TeraClips Completed – Download Now!

Well today is the deadline for the Darwin Race of Languages competition, and I have just managed to complete my Clipboard Utility on time (Luckily… I don’t know where the time went these past two weeks, but I seem to have had no time to work on this… hence the rush!). Overall I feel the...

TeraClips (Formerly Clipboard Manager) – Update

Well I have done a lot of work on my Clipboard Manager today, but it is still not ready for publishing! I also came up with a name, TeraClips. Today I sat down and re-designed the entire application logic, making sure that UI and Clipboard Handling were totally seperate. I have also changed the design...

Stylish FireFox Plugin

 Just a quick post today about a plugin I recently found out about for the FireFox web browser called Stylish. Stylish is a plugin that allows anyone to style any website as they wish using CSS stylesheets. This awesome plugin has a fairly large community of people who have already created tons of styles for...

Clipboard Manager – End of Day 3

End of day 3, and yet again another “late” finish, with me finally putting it to rest at 1.30am Today was interesting, I decided to see what I could come up with for the user interface (Mainly the form aesthetics, not the controls inside it) and remembered something called AlphaBG I had seen a while...
