How-To: Get Rid of the Glass Dock in Leopard

Something that bugged me as soon as I had finished installing Leopard on my mac was the glassy dock, whilst it looks pretty it gets old pretty quick. It takes up more space than the previous dock and I've found it to be somewhat slower than before too. Luckily there is an option to turn it off... See how Jackilyn did it.

Onslaught

The attackers are coming! They're trying to fight their way into Area 51 and it's up to you to build the defences and stop them getting in! There's a cash bounty on the head of every attacker and each wave is tougher than the last. Use your earnings to upgrade your defences and keep the attackers at bay.

Multiple Shadows on Fire!

Kornel mailed me today with an addition to the text-shadow preview page, that looks quite good :). He noted that the Safari implementation of text-shadow is a bit poor, as it supports only one shadow, and they are offset wrong by 1px. Thanks Kornel!

Yet another brilliant example of CSS3's power!

Async Comments

I've been playing with the comment code recently trying to make it a little bit more user friendly and I think I've succeeded! All of the comment actions are done using Asynchronous JavaScript now... this means that the page doesn't reload when you submit a form and when you click on the edit/delete buttons the form is loaded in-line. How cool is that? :o)

Tesco Value Webcam

Today in Tesco I had a look at the webcams and found the Tesco Value Webcam. At only £6.72 I figured that if it didn't work it wasn't a big deal! But I needn't have worried, Kubuntu picked it up straight away and Motion was able to start playing with it too!

Vector Tower Defence

The aim of the game is to eliminate the Vectoid threat before they reach the end of the path. You do this by constructing towers along the path to attack oncoming Vectoids. Success is not based solely on the types of tower you select, but where you place them and what upgrade and bonus options you take.

Since last weekend MilkHub has been through a bit of a transformation. Mostly internal rewrites of some modules, and a couple of new toys have crept in along the way...
