AutoWallpaper 5.5 progress report

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Just thought I’d check in and update everyone with my coding progress for version 5.5 of AutoWallpaper. So far so good, I’ve very nearly completed all the necessary codebase changes necessary to drive the new data store and get the whole thing up to the latest compiler version; which as regular followers will know caused [...]

Best laid plans…

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

As regular readers may know I had laid down some big plans for the coming week, I had planned on devoting all the time needed to complete the AutoWallpaper 5.5 update, and also an update for USB AutoBackup to allow for subscription based licensing, as well as a number of other research and development projects I’m [...]

To Sleep Perchance to Dream

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

The temperature during the night in my part of the UK has gone up considerably in the last few weeks and is making it very difficult for me to sleep, or at least get a restful nights sleep. My clock is displaying a minimum temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and during the day rises to about 28-29C. [...]

USB AutoBackup 1.5 coming soon

Monday, May 31st, 2010

It’s been quite a hectic few weeks. With the release of UnityScript Editor I continued a fast paced process of adding new features and fixing bugs and have already clocked up to version 1.6.5. With USE I’m using a slightly different version numbering than I usually use, the .6 is actually the release build number [...]

Monday, February 15th, 2010

A new application is about to be released, USB AutoBackup, a little application that will backup your USB flash memory drives as soon as you connect them to your computer. Why develop such an application? Well, I use a few different computers for development, 2 PC’s and a Mac Book, keeping project files on different [...]

If I could turn back time…

Friday, February 5th, 2010

In addition to the forth coming AutoWallpaper update that adds the ability to cycle monitors separately, I am also hoping to ‘turn back time’ and reintroduce Mac OS X 10.4 support. Version 4 originally discontinued support for the 10.4 OS because of limitations in controlling multi-monitor wallpaper configurations, and this hasn’t actually changed. However, I am [...]

New car, new AutoWallpaper update coming soon

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

If you’re wondering why the blog has been a little quiet recently it’s mainly due to me having to change cars. I had a Ford Fiesta on hire purchase with Ford and that has come to an end, so I’ve been working on finding and buying my new car – Toyota Aygo Black. I took [...]

Basically if you have the calendar display showing with it starting the week on Sunday the background tint wouldn’t cover [...]
