TweetBrand Branding Your Tweets

Hey Guy’s, Hope you all had a good New Year and a Merry Xmas indeed. With that in mind I’d just like to say that we’re all back now in the office resuming (well actually we have been for the last few days), but anyway as a lot of you know, we are heavily involved with the development of applications for Market Me Tweet, being my other baby & business. As I’ve never...

Open With in Microsoft Windows R.I.P

The early days, a much simpler time I was always a hardcore windows user, I started with DOS, which is why I probably like linux, the console makes me very reminiscent of those days.

Rapid Prototyping

Some of you may be familiar with rapid prototyping. It is a concept i learnt from the Experimental gameplay project, specifically this article by Kyle Gabler, Kyle Gray (2D Boy, World of Goo), Matt Kucic, Shalin Shodhan.

Tutorial: How to take a Screenshot of Android G1 with Mac

After seeing screenshots appearing across the ‘interweb’ of people having apparent screenshots from the Android G1, I wanted to know how it was done. The alternative I actually considered?

UK Broadband Really Does Suck

This is just a small post, but had to show this image of UK broadband speeds when compared to the rest of the world. Considering we are a pretty wealthy country who boasts some of the best services in the world (…), something has gone horribly wrong. Here at Wuup, we’re connected to 20MB Virgin Broadband, but we still only get 0.7mb on upload. Upload is so badly throttled here...

Mac vs PC for Web Design, an Independent Review

Ello Again, wasn’t expecting to see me again so soon? Ha Tough I’m back. Well from the title it’s pretty obvious what it’s about so I guess I’ll start with just a little back story. Once upon a time, there was a web design / developer / online marketeer (yeah a bit of a mouthful I know anyway…) and he got pretty fed up with using Microsoft products to do all...

Good bye! Good Riddance… Oh hello there you caught me unawares.

As you can imagine, I recieve a lot of emails, and most of them I don’t get around to replying to until its either too late, or someone is laying flowers at their graveside because they’ve died from the wait. Of course this isn’t deliberate, it’s just a fact of life that we get more emails than we can reply to, this usually comes from a combination of factors. Spam...

As a whole, I’m adjusting the future, like an inmate out of prison getting a job in a super market bagging up groceries, then not couping with it and hanging myself in my room (sorry for the shoreshank redemption reference). But anyway, yeah I like vista, it’s not perfect, by any means. But there are some things which really bug me. Tablet On Screen Keyboard when I login Becuase I use...
