March 20, 2015Just a short update to say that I’m still developing my puzzle game despite some serious set backs because of the new tax law. Originally I had planned the Reflex reboot to be for Windows, and probably Mac, and then later for Android. This has changed now and I suspect I will be releasing for… [Read More]
AutoWallpaper 6.6 and Maverick 10.9
October 27, 2013I recently mentioned that AutoWallpaper for the Mac may be discontinued. I had a couple of responses to my call to see if a new version would be wanted and so I thought I’d have a quick look into what would be required to support OSX Maverick.

AutoWallpaper 5.6.3103 and Lion
September 3, 2011OS upgrades are supposed to be simple and straightforward, but somehow Apple has managed to make a complete pigs-ear of the Lion.

If I could turn back time…
February 5, 2010In 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.
