Just letting everybody know I have been very busy with school work lately, but that in a few weeks time I will be starting on the second version of my Minecraft launcher. I'm hoping to automate a lot more of the setup this time, rather than having instances packaged for use manually.
I was so focussed on my studies that I had almost forgotten this blog was still here. It looks like there is still quite a bit of interest in it, so I vow to start updating it more often. As soon as I figure out which day, I'll start doing a review every week. Also, if anyone has any ideas for a simple app idea, let me know in the comments.

Hi everybody, Lloyd here. In my first post I mentioned possibly creating free software down the track a bit... Well that was one short length of track because it has already started. This is my first publicly released piece of software so, as expected, I'm quite pleased with it. However sometimes that can be a bad thing for a software designer to say, so I've decided to subject it to the same review criteria as my other reviews have had, and see what kind of score it comes up with. Details [...]

Hi everybody, Lloyd here.I found a brilliant little free application for making diagrams that I thought I should review for you guys called Dia. It supports many standard diagram formats including flowcharts and databases, wich is ideal for an IT course of any description. Details Price: 5 Stars This diagramming tool can be found for free at Live.Gnome.org/Dia Features: 5 Stars Supports a [...]
To be fair and objective to the software that I review, I'm going to outline a clear set of attributes that I will be looking for. Price: Will be reviewed on a scale of 0 (Negligible Savings compared to professional equivalents) to 5 (Free) Features: Will be reviewed on a scale of 0 (lacking many standard features) to 5 (implements new features as well as industry standards) Usability: Will be reviewed on a scale of [...]

Hi everybody! As a student of Information Technology, I know that affording the software necessary can be expensive. What a lot of people don't know is that there are little known free alternatives to popular software that can save you quite a lot of money. I hope to cover many of these free alternatives with you readers as I find them and later down the track, I hope to open my own website dedicated to not only finding free software alternatives, but possibly filling much needed gaps with software I could make myself. If [...]

The shite weather is keeping me from working on my new project...Miko. Here's a sample of some tracks from a cd in Miko's 12-disc changer in her trunk - the 90's... College feat.

I can't put my finger on what elevates DFA remixes above most others... some sort of poppy x-factor I guess. I'm sure we can expect some more funky goodness from these guys in 2009. Here are some tracks that have made their way into my sets: Nine Inch Nails - Hand That Feeds (DFA Remix) M.I.A. - Paper Planes (DFA Remix) Jill Scott - Golden (DFA Remix) Le Tigre - Deceptacon (DFA Remix)

The late 90's were important years for french house music (and house in general), as far as the mainstream scene was concerned. Stardust 's "Music Sounds Better With You" was a #1 dance hit in the U.S., Daft Punk released the future-defining album " Homework ", and Cassius , Basement Jaxx and numerous other were getting top-40 airplay. Even Madonna enlisted Mirwais for production on the " Music " album. Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You [...]
