jUploadr 1.1

Yay!
[regains composure]
jUploadr 1.1 was released today, and now is probably the only Zooomr bulk uploader, and seems to be very good.

Teaser

Update:

Here’s a quick teaser of the website that I’ve been working on for a while.
As to what it does, I’m not telling quite yet.

Oh and .

Office (4/6)

This is the fourth part in the week in apps series, Tim again joins us- but unfortunately his server isn’t working too well and will be posting here instead.
What can I say about Microsoft?
They make the best Office suite.
When I used Linux, there was only one thing that drew me back to using Windows; Microsoft […]

IM clients (3/6)

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 […]

Core Animation In Leopard

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

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 […]

AdiumX v.1 beta

AdiumX version 1 has hit beta. Personally I use the SVN version although hope that it’s slightly more stable. (Not that it’s unstable but it sometimes glitches on logging in to msn after sleep.) Anyhow, anyone still using 0.8 should look to upgrade- or get ready for when 1.0 is released.

Windows Vista

Vista on the whole is a nice change from XP and seems to have a lot going for it, although it’s insane hard drive useage is quite worrying. In my opinion the changes made are too major to be considered as in any way small and the residue from XP is all to much for […]

Opera 9

Opera 9 is being released by Opera today was recently released by Opera; and holds major improvements over version 8 and might just be enough over the technical preview to tempt me away from Camino- and it should show some signs of OperaDS.
Update:After giving Opera a go I can only flaw it on it’s OSX […]

VideoLan meet iTunes.

After getting tired of iTunes spectacular flaws in video playback, I decided to take things into my own hands and build an applescript to play itunes videos in VLC. The applescript. This script just takes the filename and checks whether or not it is an mpeg4 video and if it is opens vlc with the […]

Thoughts on Sub Etha Edit

After getting my copy of SubEthaEdit for free with BlogZot, I decided to post my thoughts on it. It has some very powerful abilities as a text editor- but does lack some of the more advanced features like those found in TextMate. It does have some problems such as not auto indenting python when an […]
