zxoom

November 2, 2006 – 11:25 am

I’m in the process of writing a few little ZX development tools. Nothing special, just some stuff to “ease” the process of writing ZX software. Anyway, while looking through some of my backlog of hacked-together apps I thought I’d upload a copy of zxoom. It was written initially as a “proof-of-concept” piece for the Windows [...]

An announcement

October 19, 2006 – 12:45 pm

Those of you who keep a close eye on my other website will no doubt have noticed that news throughput has been down in recent weeks. Ever since I got back from my Canada trip, in fact. There’s a perfectly good reason – I’ve been busy working on things to do with my upcoming wedding. [...]

I sent off my intro to the organisers of CC6 – I’ve not heard back from them whether they have it yet, but I’ll upload it to their FTP and send it on to Vega soon, who has kindly offered to present it at the party for me. So now I’m on to my next [...]

Mirroring Rules

August 3, 2006 – 11:08 pm

It’s happened again – I’ve been banned from WOS. It’s now becoming a regular occurance because I’ve started to use Website Watcher almost daily. For those who don’t know, this program downloads websites and highlights changes, saving people like me a lot of time. I only check a couple of the WOS pages (“what’s new”, [...]

One Bloody Byte!

July 28, 2006 – 11:25 am

I realise none of you actually care about my 512b Intro for the upcoming CC6 party, but I thought I’d type something here. I changed my algorithm a little. Not a major change, but it makes the FX a little more… random. Controlled random of course, but the sequences of FX has changed I think [...]
