To Sleep Perchance to Dream

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.… [Read More]

USB AutoBackup 1.5 coming soon

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… [Read More]

Announcing USB AutoBackup, and AW5.2

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.

If I could turn back time…

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… [Read More]

New car, new AutoWallpaper update coming soon

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… [Read More]

AutoWallpaper will continue to be improved upon, and development of AutoExtract 4 will begin (Set Forget Extractor). Also, Asylum development will start back up. So here’s to… [Read More]

Compiler update issues

It would appear that a number of database related alterations were made to the newest compiler I’m using that have surprised me. I believe I have corrected all of the category related issues in build 2806, but it does appear that there are a few more minor issues occurring. If you do update to 2806… [Read More]

Also, you may have noticed some additional features now available on this blog, these allow for a lot more flexibility. For starters I’ve added a poll (on the… [Read More]

Pre-Christmas updates

I have swapped over blog engines from my own to a more mainstream one, which gives me a lot more flexibility and control. This has obviously resulted in the feed location changing for my website, so please update any subscriptions and/or bookmarks you may have.

Christmas holidays are fast approaching and so I would like to get one last minor update for AutoWallpaper 5 out the door.
