An underwater Office
Three Rings Design are a game development company in San Francisco, they make the very popular games Puzzle Pirates and Bang Howdy.
The company is run by a rather eccentric Englishman called Daniel James (see a photo of him here... he likes to wear this stuff). At work we run both Puzzle Pirates and Bang Howdy on Miniclip, and I had the pleasure of meeting Daniel a couple of years ago when Puzzle Pirates was still ...
WPZipper.com relaunch
WPZipper.com is in the process of going through a relaunch. The site is a method for getting a download of the latest version of WordPress along with plugin and themes all wrapped up in a nice zip file.
The service looks quite cool but I have a few suggestions for future improvements.
Firstly I would work out what the most popular combinations are eg WordPress, a couple of themes (Regulus naturally ), and important ...

Eee pc – small, light, I want one!
Asus have recently announced the Eee pc. I'm really liking the look of this one. I recently bought a laptop computer but it's quite large big and carrying it around isn't too fun so something smaller, that I can use anywhere in the house and when I go on holiday/ travelling, would be absolutely great.
It only has a 7 inch screen, and the disk drives start at 4 gig (very small) but considering the price this isn't an issue for ...

An interesting article about the Opera browser for the Nintendo Wii has been posted over at Opera.com. It talks about how the browser works and a few fixes/ solutions for Wii compatibility for your own site.
This interests me at the moment as I am considering adding a Wii mode to Binary Moon

A Nintendo Wii Review
I mentioned before that I would write a review of my Nintendo Wii... that it took me nearly 6 months to purchase. Well - a month later - I have finally written my review. Nothing earth shattering but if you're interested you can read about it over on Binary Joy.
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.
