Evolve

Seeing as Xfire refuses to modernize, and Raptr turned out to be bunch of whining babies I’m looking for greener pastures. Yes, I still have Wakoopa running but it is not exactly ideal. So anyhow … someone over at the Xfire forum did everyone a favour by pointing us to Evolve. Evolve is still in [...]

Banned from Raptr

Didn’t expect that. Sure, America is a black hole of fascist vermin inching closer to its own long overdue eradication, but I still didn’t expect that. You see, I still labour under the obvious and recurring misconception that there are decent people in that leper colony. And behold how I am rewarded for my confidence [...]

Game tracking

I’ve been using Xfire for some time now and I am still thrilled about the concept of tracking what and when I play. I guess I get off on that sort of thing, statistics, lists and all.  Unfortunately things have turned very sour over the last couple of months and I am now left with [...]

New Sports Tracker Online

The application formerly known as Nokia Sports Tracker is back under new management (twitter). I uploaded a sample data interval earlier today (publically available here) and everything seems to be working well enough. Uploading went without a hitch and was fast enough on 3G. The result was immediately available on the website. As for features [...]

But at long last, Adobe has released LR3 [...]

Live Writer: Sharper Photo

Here is something that I’ve been using for some time with Windows Live Writer. Sharper Photo adds the ability to edit jpeg quality within WLW and to act as a bridge between WLW and your favorite image editor. So in effect it fixes many of the graphics gripes that I had with WLW. Plus, the [...]

Windows 7 Deployment

Now that Windows 7 is finally out (for us pirates anyway) the issue of migrating from Windows XP is once again a hot issue. I am one of many who actively skipped Windows Vista for a number of reasons, and Windows 7 is basically Vista take two, but on the other hand one has to [...]

UPS Assistant

Almost a year ago I bought a bargain UPS (Mustek Powermust 1000 USB) unit that frankly has been collecting dust ever since. One of the reasons for this being the dismal software that came with the unit. I believe it was called Winpower and was written i JAVA. I don’t even think I could get [...]
