11-Apr-2010: Traversal

I finally got around to finishing a music track from the start of the year, "Traversal". You can read more and download it from the Powerline album page, ReverbNation or stream it (if you have Flash installed) from here.

29-Jan-2010: YUI Tree plugin version 1.10

A new update to the YUI Tree plugin for Ruby On Rails applications is now available, containing a new option for finer control over node expansion and a couple of bug fixes.

31-Dec-2009: SuperChain version 1.00

SuperChain is a RISC OS board game for between two and eight human or computer players. It is distantly based on old RISC OS games like !Chain or !Atoms; searching around on Google shows up a few modern similar games, such as this one. However SuperChain goes further – it uses squares, triangles and hexagons to create complex, interesting and often very challenging game boards to add all sorts of new dimensions to an old game idea.

10-Dec-2009: TrackRecord version 1.51

Murphy's Law bit with v1.5 and a couple of important bugs have had to be fixed, resulting in the updated version 1.51 of TrackRecord. If you downloaded version 1.50, you should should upgrade. To download the latest release, please see the project page.

14-Nov-2009: Another Snow Leopard update

Add Folder Icons version 1.50 is now available. This is built for both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel processor systems and uses Grand Central Dispatch to work faster when producing folder thumbnails or when processing lots of folders at once. The more processor cores your Mac has, the faster it goes.

The older Leopard-compatible version is still available and has the same basic features, but it is not as fast as the new release.
