Whilst searching the net for a list of spam email addresses I should block in my web apps (TDY.ME and Social Magpie), I came across a huge list of email provider domains that are either, A: Disposable email account providers or B: Email account providers linked to spam. I thought this would be a great...

Whilst developing my replacement file explorer for my University project, I came across the need to get the Shell Icon for a given file in C#. It took me a while to find out how to accomplish this, so I thought I would post it here for anyone else who is facing the same problem....

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! Congratulations to Werewolf and Jan Wicher who came in first and second place with their awesome applications (Command Line GUI – GBAK and ClipCub respectively). All of the entries...

Since I have no reason to keep the source code to myself for TeraClips (I won’t be selling it…), I have decided to release the source code to the public. I apologize in advance for any mess that may be in the code, I think it’s pretty well commented (For the most part!) but since...

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...

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...

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...

Well since I entered the competition 2 days late, tonights efforts (or last nights, since it’s the early hours of the morning now!) are the end of day two in the Darwin Race of Languages competition. As I have already said in my last post, the competition requires developers to keep a log of their...

Hey all, I haven’t posted in a while… Guess I have been kind of busy. I am back to work full time now, my little sister demands a lot of attention and my girlfriend just got a little West Highland Terrier puppy which she has named Jasper (And he’s adorable!) . Well, I thought I...
