- Use your MacBook with the lid closed
Want to use your new MacBook in clamshell mode, but don’t have an external keyboard and mouse?I figured this out last night. Don’t know if this is a known thing or not, but I was pretty psyched about it. If you want to use an external monitor with your MacBook in “clamshell” mode, but don’t [...]

- Synergy – Control iTunes from the task bar
Synergy is a cool little app that allows you to control iTunes from the task bar. It has full skinning for the icons and works with Growl so that you can customise how and if you are alerted when a track changes etc. At last no more switching back and forth to iTunes!!

This should definatly be included as standard for future releases. Keep watching for [...]

Finally I have found an app that will Silence your Mac OS X start-up sound (Direct Download) Although the Mac is almost perfect, Apple decided to not include an option to turn of that horrible start up sound. This app sits in your system preferences and works a treat. This is ideal if you want [...]
- Bournemouth
Took a little (4hrs 2 get there) trip to Bournemouth at the weekend with the ‘wifey’. Stayed in a pretty swanky hotel, which was a complete blag as we booked it online and got it for a rather reasonable £100.

I have recentlty produced a game in Flash which uses motion to control its function. The motion is captured using any Web Cam or connected image capture device (even the built in iSight on Mac’s). The product is not perfect and still contains a few bugs (notably the fact that the user is required to [...]
