Apple and “resolution independence” are a hot topic right now. The talk has focused mainly the merits of vector-based art versus rasterized bitmaps. I don’t know enough about either to jump into the fray, so I won’t even try. What I do know is that developers will end up using both vectors and bitmaps whether [...]

Server Siren 1.1 has just been released!
The biggest change is a new feature which lets you be notified when a server comes back up as well as when it goes down. I’ve also updated the SMS Messaging and changed the dates so that they’re based on your nationality.

Desktopple 1.0

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

The other day I needed to take a screenshot, but my desktop, as usual, was full of files. So I had to move them all off before I could take the screenshot. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence. Like any good programmer, I decided to figure out a way to make it easy. So, I [...]
