New Miniclip website
I have been rather quiet on the blogging front recently and there have been two reasons for this. Number 1 - well... see the title of this post, and number 2? I'll explain that one in a week or so.
Anyway a couple of weeks ago (10th of July 2006) the new Miniclip website was released. For those who don't know Miniclip is the company I work for, as a web/ game designer.
For the last 7 months we have ...
Legitimate comment spam?
I have literally just received some comment spam on my blog. Nothing unusual in this, I get 50/60 comment spams on Binary Moon every day.
What is strange is that it made sense. It was a genuine comment from Channel 4 (a large uk television channel) looking for contestants for a new tv show. It was on a post about game programming despite the comment having nothing to do with game development. It included a name and phone number ...
Snacksby – like MacGuyver but for food
I like food and Snacksby makes it easy to use whatever random food you have lying around into something tasty.
Unfortunately the system does not recognise all foods (there are no Super Noodles in there!) but you can add any missing ingredients into the system and hope that someone adds a recipe using them. The fact you can add new recipes and food stuffs means it will keep on ...
Monopoly replaces cash with credit card
Cool - Monopoly has gone and done, what I think is, an incredibly cool thing. They have ditched the cash for credit cards. Each player gets a credit card and there is a machine that updates transactions as they take place. This removes the counting out your money nonsense and, more importantly, stops people from stealing your money when you go to the toilet.
Please note : I’ve not actually seen this for sale, don’t have a clue how much ...Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Movie Trailer
The first film was "Wow", the second film was "Meh" and the third was "bleurgh". It looks like the fourth Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film will be all the way back to "Wow".
The new film is entirely cg and based on the ...
9rules dance skills
I don't dance - full stop. That's it. Never.
But that doesn't mean nobody else does.
Yesterday when I posted about the new 9rules website Paul (Scrivs), the CEO, commented saying I should talk about 9rules more cos "they get lonely". Then yesterday Paul posted a video showing off his dance "skills", and it was so "good" I thought I would help so here it is.
Go Scrivs!
Nintendo DS – Web Browser preview
There is a video of the new (released in early October in the UK) web browser for the DS online. The browser shown is all in Japanese but it shows off the features perfectly well. I think it will be brilliant, and it means I can use the internet more easily on the move. It's on my wish list!

New 9rules website
I have been with the 9rules collective for a good few months now - about 8 of them - and it's all been good. I don't normally (ever?) talk about them but this time I felt it was significant enough to say something.
The 9rules site has recently been redesigned, and a lovely redesign it is. There are ...
