Mad Business

Posted by lemiffe in Products on Aug 17th, 2009 | 3 comments

Mad Business is a multiplayer-only game I made in VB6.0 years ago.

I am making it available as a download on my products page. I don’t consider it to be of any interest, nor of commercial value, so I am giving it away for £0.10, however, I am testing out my online shop so I have placed it as a product on the shop.

After purchasing the item you will receive a download link. Feel free to copy it for a friend so you can try it out together. You can play vs yourself using 127.0.0.1 as the IP. Click here to go to the product page.

Visit to Holyrood Park

Posted by lemiffe in Photography, Sightseeing on Aug 16th, 2009 | 2 comments

So today I finally got my act together and decided to pay Holyrood a short visit. My main intention was to view how far out am I living from the docks, as shortly I plan to make a visit to Edinburgh’s dock to take a few pictures. Anyway, I leave you with a photoset from Holyrood park.

The Edinburgh Fringe

So the Edinburgh Fringe has been on for at least a week now. I’ve been to a few “free comedy” shows, and today I decided to pay a visit to High Street (AKA The Royal Mile). There is a lot of activity going on (as you can see through the images), so if you are bored and you just happen to be in Scotland, why not pay the Fringe a visit?

Judge bans Microsoft Word sales – BBC News

A US federal court has ordered Microsoft to pay over $290m (£175m) for wilfully infringing on a patent by Canadian firm i4i.

The patent relates to the use of XML, a programming language that allows formatting of text and makes files readable across different programs.

XML is integral to Microsoft’s flagship word processing software Word.

Texas district court judge Leonard Davis also filed an injunction preventing Microsoft from selling Word.

The row specifically relates to the use of Extensible Mark-up Language, or XML, documents.

I4i filed a patent in 1998 that outlined a means for “manipulating the architecture and the content of a document separately from each other” invoking XML as a means allowing users to format text documents.
