Recently I have been pointed to the sxore roadmap where they promise far tighter integration with wordpress for comments, such as using the wordpress comment database and form for the comment system. Also with the addition of multiple single sign on technologies. Yes, that is oxymoronic, but I won’t tell anyone if you don’t. I’ve […]
Last night photo-sharing site zooomr’s serversdecided that it was time to fall off the internet. Fortunately they are now safely within the dump truck full of snakes that is the internets, distributing huge amounts of data- huge amounts of data.
In this, the third post of the week in apps series, Tim and I. Will be looking at Instant Messaging clients.
For inter-service compatibility, there is none to beat AdiumX. Being open source I can always run the latest version on the svn tree- not suggesting this as a smart thing to do. The SVN version […]
Today is the second installment in the week in apps series and Tim again joins us for Web browsers.
On any other platform, the choice for a good powerful tabbed web-browser is fairly easy; Firefox. But on OSX it looks nasty:
It uses custom widgets.

It could be said that there is only one real choice for an email client for OSX: Apple Mail. For one it comes pre-installed with OSX and secondly; it genuinely is the […]
Since the leak of the Leopard beta, quite a few interesting videos detailing the powers of core animation. Although I wonder why it was not shown at WWDC keynote, although I might think that Apple isn’t best pleased at this leak.
Seems that support is reliant on Core Image, so yay for my iBook […]
Zooomr fell through the net the last time I was looking for a photo-sharing site, but when I bumped into it- I saw something that wasn’t available with the other contenders: to better Flickr- a liberal upload limit; and to better Riya- full size copies of the photographs.
Zooomr has been described by some as Flickr […]
NAT a bad router, RAID support across USB drives.
Perfectly complementing my time machine.

When we hear all this hype about downloadable console video-games as an alternative and equal method of distribution over optical disk, we have to ask ourselves: can our current network handle it?
With ADSL speeds nearly reaching 25mb/s it is certainly possible that video games will be available and more convenient than ever before.
Some people are sure that what is outlined in “The Energy Challenge” (a document which I believe has been seriously misread by those) basically says that standby mode is illegal and will wreck Nintendo’s plans for connect 24. Not so. On page 44 the following refers to standby:
