Tribe

August 15, 2009 – 7:04 pm

With Sundown 2009 coming up next month I figured it was time I actually posted some information about my entries for last years Sundown. This is a screenshot for “Tribe“, my fairly quick-hack demo which saw something of a new style for my… stuff. I took what I call the “CPU-Approach”, which means a complete [...]

Flickrs

January 19, 2009 – 8:30 pm

I’ve had a few people mentioning that I’ve not been posting more photos of Jamie here, so a very quick pointer to my Flickr page, where I occasionally post new pictures.

Welcome James…

October 1, 2008 – 9:58 pm

On Monday morning, September 29th 2008, at 2:37am (BST), my wife Catherine gave birth to James Cooper, our son, weighing 7lb 13oz. James is our first child, and so far parenthood is proving to be rather… surreal. You don’t really notice that anything has changed, until at some point you realise that almost everything has. [...]

Moving Houses

June 25, 2008 – 8:57 pm

Around this time most users will be seeing dialog boxes appear stating that [...]

Image Enhancement

May 5, 2008 – 10:19 pm

We’ve been quite busy of late (please, no crude comments about recent announcements). Aside from the whole “family-starting” thing, Mrs.Bod and myself are in the process of selling our current house (where numerous demoparties have been held) and buying a new place. Of course we want to optimize our available space when we move, so [...]

Prism: Replacing Drivebelts

April 17, 2008 – 7:02 pm

A long long time ago (in a galaxy very similar to our own) I wrote for small-press fanzine “PD Power”, published by Prism PD. It was all about the ZX Spectrum, specifically the Public Domain software scene – this was after the demise of wonder-zine Your Sinclair, which kind of marked the end of the [...]
