WordPress 2.7 and Crazyhorse
Last weekend I spent a few days away from WordPress and work in general to spend some quality time with the girlfriend. When I got back and updated my local copy of WordPress (via svn) I was surprised to see that they had started to incorporate all of the user testing information feedback they had received at the test camps earlier this year.
I am really pleased to see the changes as they are moving WordPress in a very positive direction. ...
A short history of Miniclip.com
Rob, my boss and CEO of Miniclip.com, was recently interviewed by the Financial Times in the UK - and they put a video of the interview online for all to see.
I'd have embedded the video here but for some reason they have made embedding needlessly difficult so I'll go for a link instead.
There's lots of corporate speak going on there, but some of you may find it interesting The top of my head is visible through 90% ...
Sumo Omni Bean Bag
I've been reading other bloggers websites with envy over the last year or so, constantly seeing the Sumo Omni bean bags popping up all over the place. What did I have to do to get my own? I could have bought one of course, but they're not cheap - and I didn't want to splash the cash without seeing one.
Last week my prayers were answered, and my patience rewarded, when I was contacted by the CEO ...
Wall-E
Wall-E is awesome - the best Pixar film yet... although I say that pretty much every time they release a new one. It tells the story of a lone robot, left to clear up the mess left behind on earth by an escaping human crowd. Like many robots Wall-E does not speak, at least not in the traditional sense of the word. What he does do is beep and whirl much like another R2-D2 from Star Wars - ...
Ben and Jerry (and Jo)
Last weekend my girlfriend and I went to the Ben and Jerries Sundae festival (on Sunday no less). This is a small festival on Clapham Common in London, England. It's run by Ben and Jerries ice cream and has a variety of partners within, all promoting green things (renewable energy etc), and generally being nice and ethical - all things I believe quite strongly in.
There was also a stage with live ...

Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.
