So here we are in 2010, a new year and a new leaf to turn over. My use of this blog has left something to be desired. So in this new year I'll try and blog more.

Other things I want to do this year are get a road bicycle and cycle, a few years ago I use to cycle everywhere, then I passed my driving test, things went downhill from there. I also want to buy myself a nice yet not too expensive digital SLR camera and try and become a half-decent amateur photographer. Like my friend Rutherfordium.

Lewis King showed his.

So here's mine:

1. Finder - On every Mac
2. Webkit - Nightly build of Apple's Safari browser for testing purposes
3. Firefox - My default web browser
4. Skype - Great for talking to my mates and family
5. Adium - for any other communicating needs, mainly MSN
6. Spotify - A great app for listening to music
7. iTunes - The ubiquitous music jukebox for OS X
8. Last.fm - Mainly use it to scrobble, though can be good to discover new music through the radio service
9. iPhoto - Manage pictures on my camera and iPhone
11. Time Machine - When I get round to buying a new HDD then this may be useful
12. System Preferences - For editing settings, something I'm not avert to doing
13. iTerm - Don't know if its particularly better the the Terminal app but I've got into the habbit of using this
14. Smultron - A great free code editor with syntax highlighting
15. Tweetie - I can't live without twitter these days
16. Things - Great to-do manager

What's in your dock?

This is more of a note to self.

To compile MPlayer svn with x264 git first compile x264 with ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local/x264

And then compile MPlayer with ./configure --extra-ldflags="-L/usr/local/x264/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/x264/lib" --extra-cflags="-I/usr/local/x264/include"

The amount of spam comments I'm receiving has vastly reduced over recent weeks. A good thing i suppose. I assume its because of Aksimet; the comments aren't getting posted so the bots (which they clearly all were) have moved onto another site.

I am working on this blog, promise. Just sorting out the comments section, and as we know, a blog without comments isn't a blog. (this was posted from my iPhone :D)

Well, this is my blog. As you may have noticed, this blog is maintained using a blogging system that I have written myself. That it is to say the PHP code running the blog behind the scenes has been coded by myself from the ground up.
