I have no idea if you need to have Vizard installed for this to work but I have published my application as an EXE file. Click here to download and play around with it. Use the arrow keys to control the ball, press space once to drop the ball, press R to reset everything.
Finally everything is almost completed for my presentation tomorrow. Actually I have really liked messing around in Vizard the past few days and it seems as though I’m getting the hang of it… all be it in a very clumsy way. After many IF statements I have finallly managed to get the code to do… Read more →
An article reports that today Firefox announced that it had reached a milestone of 500 million downloads of the open-source browser. I think that’s great. I love the whole open-source ethos but I am in a quandary, can you make any money from open-source software? Not that I’m a money hungry tycoon, but Microsoft are… Read more →

I was expecting the presentation to be inclusive of other members of the class, but no it was just each group or individual with Flo and Dave. Valid feedback was received and the main thing I got out of it was that our idea (Myself and Robert Andre) is very VERY large in scope and… Read more →

Reading this article on El Reg, it made me chuckle. The overall weight of it seems to be that a court judge has ordered a site to be taken down because of nefarious content (no surprise there) and in response to that, the site remains up (no surprise there either).
