Mars Edit 2.1

I used to use an application called Ecto to post to my blog but since Wordpress update to 2.2 it’s been possible to ‘tag’ your posts, hence the tag cloud on the right. Ecto hasn’t been updated in a while and so it doesn’t include any sort of tag field and so I’d have to [...]

I’ll huff and I’ll puff

The winds blowing up a storm outside, I’m kinda worried the roof is gonna cave in! By my weatherdock though it is only 39MPH wind speed which isn’t that bad. If it keeps up though I’m never gonna be able to get to sleep. I’m actually sorta wishing it would rain instead, at least rain [...]

It’s all in the details

I was looking at my Statpress stats for my blog today and it actually makes some interesting reading. Basically it tracks how many unique visitors, pageviews and feeds are logged as well as how many Google etc. spiders rape my blog on a daily basis.

Virtual Graffiti

This guy has the right idea. It’s some German guy who has developed a way of using cameras and spunky software to make 3D virtual graffiti. No spraycans, no messy walls, just graffiti in JPEG form. Brilliant. Now he just needs to bring it over to Glasgow and show the neds how to work it [...]

GT TV

I just got done watching my first ever episode of Gametrailers TV which is hosted by the oh so lovely Geoff Keighley. It wasn’t actually that bad, it was kinda nerdy and the review of Burnout Paradise used far too many car metaphors but it had some cool stuff in it so I think I’ll [...]

Barack is the saviour

Barack Obama may be promising many things for Americans such as gay rights and what not but who really cares about that kind of stuff? What we really want is promises like these. Let’s hope the Americans do right by the world and elect the man that’ll save us from iPod upgrades the day after [...]
