I should probably add my thoughts having seen the Simpsons Movie.
Like you’ve not seen it.
I thought it was pretty damn funny, and revisited some of the old style, totally unexpected comedy. You know - where they lead you down one funny joke, and then abandon it part way through to go somewhere even funnier. I [...]

BBC Radio Widget v3.1 is officially the most downloaded release ever. Cool.

I went to see Transformers today - special preview screening or some such. It was pretty busy. The film was kinda cheesy in places. It was pretty shallow, too.
The animation was superb. There were fighting robots. Fighting robots. You know, like, robots. Which fight. This is pretty much all you need to know about this [...]

If you don’t know, Webkit is the framework in OS X which provides web display to apps. It’s the power behind Safari.
Now, people knock Safari sometimes. They say it’s slow, and they say FireFox has better rendering. People say all sorts of things. Well, Safari is the speediest browser on my MacBook, and that’s nothing [...]

Simpsonize Me is a shameless plug for the new movie. It’s blatant advertising for a certain burger company. It’s poorly designed and it’s unreliable (on my Mac, anyway, stupid Flash). It’s also pretty good fun.
I know they’ve sold out, but I’m really excited by the Simpsons Movie. It took a while for my scepticism to [...]

I really don’t like the word “fanboy” (or “fanboi” if you’re über-133t). Or rather, perhaps I just don’t like the context it’s used in - it’s merely an excuse not to listen to the other side of the argument, ironically used by those to whom the term is most applicable. I think we, the internet, [...]

As you may or may not know, I maintain a log of download numbers for various files I offer (don’t worry, there’s no personal information recorded - just the fact that a download occurred). It’s kinda useful to know, for instance, how many active users of a widget there are, or whether something that I [...]

There’s a new widget in town - BBC Radio Widget 3.0. Featuring, by popular request, an in-widget schedule!
Hopefully the first of several widget releases in the next few weeks (due to brief access to an internet connection, hurrah!).

I wouldn’t normally post this as news, but this may be the only way:
Some time back I had a couple of emails from someone (whom I won’t name, seeing as that would be rude) who had made a Cinematic variant, and wanted permission to release it. I tried to reply twice, but my messages got [...]

Apologies to anyone who has commented or emailed me in the last few months. I’ve had no active net connection, and the only internet I can get - campus internet - is crippled with regards to email, in that they block all outgoing mail except through their server, and provide no access to their own [...]
