WordPress 2.0.1 and contrast of cultures.

Just noticed in the WordPress dashboard that 2.0.1 is out. You may want to get it, if you use WordPress. According to their page, they have closed 114 bugs since version 2.0. While in the UK these past two days, I spent some time watching the BBC while working at the computer. With the window […]

Hybrid TV interfaces for the Mac?

The hellenic government-owned TV broadcaster, ERT, recently announced their pilot DTT (Digital Terrestial Television) programme starting this spring. Having no TV interface on the Mac, I have started looking around for a Mac compatible hybrid analogue+DTT USB 2.0 interface. For Windows there’s Terratec’s Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS. For the Mac there’s nothing. Funny. Elgato […]

Downfall (2004)

Pyxis.

I’ve been meaning to release Pyxis for a long time now. It’s a small GPS application for the Mac, ‘dripping with Aqua beauty’, [other apple-like marketing crap here], fully functioning and quite polished, but there are several things that keep me from releasing it.
