July 20th, 2010textarea rich RIP
January 6th, 2010A project I started waaay back in 2001 has now had the coffin lid firmly nailed down.
The actual product which I wrote (TextArea Rich) hasn’t been updated since 2004 or 2005 (it’s that long ago)… yet the website lived on and thousands of people downloaded it.
I’ve now closed the site and am offering the domain name for sale. It’s got a good monthly hit rate – so if you are developing a web based WYSIWYG editor (or just want to increase your hits), take a look and make me an offer.
Special Characters & Symbols for Facebook, mySpace status
January 6th, 2010Many people ask where to get the special characters from to use in posts such as Facebook, mySpace or Bebo.

You can copy and paste these (highlight and press CTRL+C on pc or cmd+C on mac) then just paste them in the status or textfield boxes on your site!

First post of 2010
January 5th, 2010So… I’ve not updated the site for pretty much three years now. Plenty has happened in that time.
The first thing now was to update the bloody wordpress software. It was ancient and as a result, constantly being hacked. Now it’s brand spanking new and looking pretty sexy. Gone is the pink/red colour scheme of the old.
Not going to write loads now as it’s late and I need to crack on with getting an iPhone app moving. Keep an eye out for it – it’s an app version of the [very] popular dress up Lucy!
If you’ve got a minute, be sure to check out the current cooking timer application I have created, CookIt. Only 59p and it *could* save your dinner!
Classic kids tv
March 23rd, 2007Been playing around on youtube for retro old school TV intros, so thought I’d post all the videos one place for everyone to enjoy!
Update Unfortunately a lot of the videos are now unavailable as the copyright disables embedding. In these cases, I’ve tried to put a link » Read more: Classic kids tv
