Given their penchant for using Macs on “the grid” on Spooks, It was really only a matter of time before they used an iPhone or iPod Touch…

I’m always entertained by far-fetched tech on TV shows, and so when I saw this “tool” for cracking a computer’s login details, I thought I’d do a version myself!

It’s just a video, nothing cleverer than that, but the effect is exactly the same!

desk, originally uploaded by RWDave.

In the process of re-designing my room, and after a month of living in an empty box, I’ve finally got my computery gubbins set up again.

Also, this is posted direct from flickr… which I may do a bit more of in the future!

Photographing Negatives

Filed under: Uncategorized — Dave @ 6:18 pm June 7, 2007

I thought I’d have a crack at writing a tutorial for photographing negatives, as I’ve just dicovered it to be far easier than I could have imagined!

Long time, no blog!

I’ve not posted on here for months and the site’s looking a little neglected so here’s a couple of new things, a widget and a video, both found whilst tidying up (more…)

Qumana

Filed under: Uncategorized — Dave @ 6:47 pm January 28, 2007

This is the first post I’m making with Qumana as a test to see if it’s worth recomending to the people who need access to the other wordpress based sites I’m running, it seems to be pretty straightforward, so I’ll see how my mother handles it on the Star Academy site. (more…)

A Few Changes

Filed under: Website — Dave @ 10:04 pm January 15, 2007

I’ve changed my theme so that I can have the photo album back as it was, only working this time.

I’ve also been put in charge of the local church website, which I’ve wordpressed (is that a word?) to bring it into the 21st century, so over the next few weeks I’ll probably be doing a fair bit of experimenting here, and anything that works can go on there

Published!

“The Widget What I Wrote” has been indexed on the apple widget download site, woo!

I’m Famous!

I’ve installed Coppermine to replace the flickr album plugin too!

Easier than 3.14

Once you get your head around the fact that dashcode’s UI is there to look pretty, and not really to add anything to the ease of creating widgets, making the most simple of things (ie. a countdown timer) is no more difficult than re-skinning any other kind of template. (more…)

The Widget What I Wrote

Filed under: Apple — dave @ 9:16 pm January 6, 2007

After I heard of the release of Apple’s Dashcode beta I decided I’d give it a crack, even if I don’t get anywhere it doesn’t matter, and atleast it’ll look pretty if it doesn’t work! (more…)

Happy Birthday To Me!

In an attempt to broaden my horizons and “mad skills”, I’ve got myself some real hosting to play with. This is with a view to relearn some long forgotten tinkering in perl, and to teach myself php, primarily so that I have a better chance of getting a job, I’m sure I’ll think of a secondary and tertiary reason if and when the time comes.

The best part of it all is that it’s not cost me anything! It’s my annual getting older day in under a month and so I have managed to get myself a present advance… only I can’t really unwrap it, but it should prove to be a great investment, so thanks Mum!
