Tailgaters!!

Posted on September 10th, 2008 by jonny

I can’t really say that I have only experienced “Tailgaters” whilst living in Perth, Australia, as I used to experience it on a daily basis on the motorways of the UK.  For 5 years I travelled, by car, a distance of 192km (120miles) to get to work and back each and every work day.  I had a few run-ins with the usual prick drivers that have to get that one car ahead of you, even though there is a huge line of traffic in front.

Posted on August 17th, 2008 by mike

I’ve made some good progress on my Sudoku game this weekend.  I’ve continued to improve the graphics and also added the ability to place notes in cells while your working out the puzzle.  I’ve also added an instructions page as there are a few ways of doing the same thing now.

Summer…what summer?

Posted on August 14th, 2008 by mike

Scientists would have you believe that if we are not careful and reduce our Co2 emissions, the UK will end up with a climate like Spain. The selfish part of me thinks WOOHOO, bring it on :D and whilst I sit here typing this with the rain issing down outside, I wish we did have a climate like Spain.

ING Not So Direct!

Posted on August 10th, 2008 by jonny

I’m afraid this post is a bit of a rant, so here goes ;)

I applied for a ING Savings Account nearly a month ago now and have been rejected twice for insufficient identification documents. The thing that really annoys me is that I have not received any correspondence regarding these rejections, it is only the fact that I rang them because I hadn’t heard anything, that I found out.

Wobbly Images in Slick 2D

Posted on August 8th, 2008 by mike

Whilst creating my Sudoku game, I wanted to create a simple effect on the title of the game.  Many year ago, like in the mid 1980’s there were many demos going around on machines like the Spectrum 48k, Commodore 64 and eventually Atari ST and Amiga 500 which would show off sounds and graphics on those machines.  One of the most common effects used was to put a SIN wave ripple through an image or text message.
