Genius – buy it. In my hindsight I think I subconsciously bought the XBox 360 just for this game, so basically I was setting myself up for a fall when the game turned out to be poo.

It isn’t – it’s simply amazing, on all levels; the amount of depth there is in the game, the graphics which are the closest we’ve got so far to photorealisim. The amount of things to do in the game is staggering; you could easily spend 10 or so hours before even going to the first location of the main quest (whether that’s a good thing is a matter of opinion I guess). I’ll stop gushing now, but if you’ve got a decent spec PC or a 360 then I can’t think of a more essential game to have.

All the content in this section has been lifted from my old website; the stuff here is pretty ancient but I was always rather proud of it so I’ve dragged it up (and the images from a long forgotten directory) and but it back on my new site. One day I’ll come back to this project and carry on working on it (pah in my dreams!)

This is a little webserver I wrote in Java. I wanted to embed a webserver into one of my other Java projects to save creating a thick GUI in Swing. This webserver is the result. It can also be used ‘standalone’ to serve files from your hard-disk, for sharing or transfering stuff to other people. When used standalone it only requires one file JAR to use and it can be started by simply double-clicking the JAR.

I’ve created a module for Joomla that will display images from flickr. I had a hunt round the web but couldn’t find a module that did this; which was suprising as I’d guessed that lot of people would be wanting to display their flickr images on their Joomla/Mambo website. So in the end I decided to write my own!

Update I’ve updated the module and v1.1 is available for Download – this version supports group photo pools.
I’m simply using the ‘badge’ functionality that flickr provide and wrapping it into a little module with some user definable parameters.

Looking though my statcounter/Google Analytics reports I noticed I was still getting hits for people looking for this software, no idea why anyone is using the MuVo
Anyhow I stopped selling, supporting & developing this ages ago but I’ll put it up the full version here for free download if you still want to use it…

I’d put the source code up too, but that appears to have got lost somewhere

Download – MuVo Control Center v0.9
