First we have Gravity Hook [pictured right] from Adam Atomic and [...]

These days I find it a little hard to call Introversion truly “indie” – where do you draw the line between successful independent developer and small commercial software house, if in fact there is a difference? – but for the sake of argument I’ll call them that for this post, and you certainly can’t argue [...]

Spoons!
Oh, and a quick note about Millenipede; it hasn’t escaped my attention that there’s a distinct lack of source code availability for those who might come looking to find it.

Google have decided to dip their finger into yet another pie – this time it’s the web browser market with their newest killer app, Chrome. In a world dominated by Internet Explorer, Firefox and even Opera, what good is this really going to do?

So what happened in August?

Filed Under Personal, Zolyx | Leave a Comment

I got a few things done last month but didn’t manage a clean sweep. I really should stop setting myself deadlines since I never seem to hit them on time!
The place is looking a little nicer and a couple bugs got squashed while I was tweaking the theme and adding various stuff, but two of [...]
