Wine Doors

Details, often overlooked, are very important, the many details on the corners and edges of the old buildings we all see are just as important as the structure of the building. I often feel that many new constructions lack these finishing touches, the detail that someone spent a lot of time to ensure looked just [...]

Little nugget of fail I found in nautilus yesterday… Essentially, the icon view preferences has a use of “compact” which is slightly different to the compact layout. The text beside icons in the icon view preferences leads to effectively the same thing as the compact layout except it scrolls vertically rather than horizontally which is [...]

Last week GNOME decided to get a bunch of interface and interaction designers together into one place so we could revolutionise the desktop, or at least carve a path toward a ubiquitous GNOME desktop. Held at Canonical’s offices in Millbank tower the hackfest was a bustling affair with the attendees growing every day. Initially there [...]

So, say you want to be able to hit your close button by throwing your mouse to the top right corner of the screen… Argh! UI fail, we have a panel there :/ Fear not, an applet exists to allow you do do this! I’ve only just seen this, and I don’t even use a [...]

So I bit the bullet and got a copy of snow leopard delivered this morning. Apparently it can’t install because the computer can’t start from my hard drive… Well obviously that’s false. The problem seems to be related to partitioning, I did have a triple boot, leopard, xp and ubuntu. So after reading a few [...]

Havoc, for all I understand your post and what you’re getting at I’d like to point out something that is an increasingly painful thing to see coming from the US. Socialism isn’t necessarily a bad thing; capitalism doesn’t work as it just lets the rich get richer and the poor get the picture. It’s time to wise [...]

Recently I’ve been helping my friend ‘Spud’ with a little project unrelated to software. After a little work and a little time we’re proud to announce impshum.co.uk – A new comic site for those looking for something to blame.
