It's been so long since I've posted anything at all, so of course now that I am posting something, it's ancient and you've probably already seen it.
Being behind the curve is the new cool, right?
*Ahem*, well... Read more »
Not having much time to update the site regularly has been a bit of a problem. But sometimes I do manage to find a few spare minutes here and there to play around with tiny projects. Late last week, I was taking a look at my friend Alastair's blog http://www.lazyefficient.com/ where he had published a small post about a password generation service.
So, after taking a look at Alastair's password generator, I decided it'd be a fun little diversion to build my own. Not that I personally use anything like that, but it's more about the joy of coding for me. Read more »
So, it's been ages since I've updated anything on-line. I decided to make a post just so the interwebs knows I'm still here.
So, just to make sure this post is partially productive or useful, I'd like to point out that I've added the newly available Google Buzz sharing and following tools to the site.
If you take a look on the right, you'll see a link where you can follow me on Google Buzz - not that I am posting anything lately (I do plan to remedy that soon).
Follow on Buzz
And the sharing icon at the left of all the posts now shares on buzz using the official sharing API . Read more »
I've just started working on yet another theme for the website. It's a fairly regular occurrence, so I normally don't make much comment on changes.
I'm posting an update about it this time for two reasons. First, the obvious scope of the change is much greater than usual. I'd normally just replace the banner graphic, change a background image, or just move something around. This time, I've gone for an almost completely new layout, with more still to come. I've also simplified the menus a little more, but I'll be adding things back into them as I go.
The second reason, is the more important one; I'm not done yet, and things may appear broken. In fact, some things may be broken. If you see any problems, let me know in the comments (which should work just fine... I hope). I also haven't gone out of my way to test it in any browser except Chrome yet... Probably not the best idea, but I was really sick of the old theme.
I suppose you could say a third reason for the post is that I haven't posted anything in ages. Heheh. Read more »
You've probably seen the rumors flying all over the internet about Apple's next product launch - the tablet computer, currently dubbed the "iSlate". I don't seem to be able to avoid coming across speculation and excitement over the much yearned iSlate. We've seen a steady progression of Apples products from the iPod to the iPhone, and there is very little reason right now to refute claims that Apple won't continue the trend with a tablet.
Some things I have heard though, are somewhat confusing... perhaps it's just Apple fans hyping and dreaming, but I've also heard equally unfounded claims that seem to come from the haters as well. So, here's my short list of what the iSlate won't be: Read more »
I totally forgot to publish this last night... Anyway, here it is. Sorry if it's a little rough.
I figured that there was one more thing missing from the game production tools I'd posted - sound! So, I've tried to find parallel sets of sound design tools. The problem is that I don't know much about sound tools, so I've just put this list together based on tools that I've had a play with. I've used these tools to either generate sounds, record new sounds, or modify existing sounds. I've honestly not played with the third program much at all, and can't say much about it... Read more

Over at the Official Google Blog, the Chromium open source project has been released.
The OS is not yet "ready" for full use, but Google have outlined their basic plans for the OS and it sounds like an interesting take on things.
Chrome OS essentially replaces the desktop experience with the browser experience. Read more »
