So I bought a MacBook…

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Yeah, I know they’ll probably be updated very soon, but I really need one now - before I go back to uni. I’m resigned to the fact that Merom-powered updates will be out sooner or later - probably sooner - but so long as not too many of the features are upgraded (better graphics would [...]

Rant Time

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

Woo! Rant Time!
You may have noticed that there aren’t any adverts on PhantomGorilla.com. That’s because I’m not too keen on them. People don’t come to this site looking for adverts, they come looking for content. My bandwidth bills, while non-trivial, aren’t that big; I can pay them myself. I’m not a site like Engadget, which [...]

New Music!

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

It’s been a week of new things - new site, new widget, new message style… So it only seems right that I should blog about my new music.
I was wandering through town the other day with my mother - I forget why exactly, I’d not slept and it seemed like a good idea (you know, [...]

New Stuff!

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

So, I’m making a new Adium message style (see right). It’s called Cinematic, because it’s a Front Row knock-off! If anyone’s interested in being a beta tester (I say beta, it’s actually in pretty good shape I think) and giving me some feedback, drop me a line using one of the links in the sidebar. [...]

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

Go on, have a look around. The site’s a semi-fluid design - but I’ve bounded the pages to ensure the lines don’t get unreadably long. [...]

BBC Radio Widget v2.2

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

Well, it’s finally here! BBC Radio Widget 2.2 hits the internet with the full force of… well, with full force, anyway.
I know I’ve been promising this for nearly a fortnight now but - what can I say - I’ve been busy! Speaking of which, you may have noticed a few changes around here…
This version includes [...]

New logo?

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Well, I found the most fun page ever… The Web2.0v2Logo Creatr! What do you think?

Freezing problem update

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

It’s fixed! Apparently some Macs are fussier than others about Javascript errors… v2.2 - which will contain a few other fixes and enhancements - will be released soon. Sorry it’s so soon after the last update!
In other news, thanks to all those who have donated their hard-earned cash to Andy’s Beverage-Based Entertainment Fund. I’m still [...]
