This is just a small update to the previous release of ActionFTP which adds an option to change the FTP port used to upload to your server.

Please see the previous post for more info on ActionFTP, or perhaps you’d like to view a screenshot of the configuration window ;)

ActionFTP WindowClippings Add-in: Beta

This is the first (and hopefully the last) beta of ActionFTP, an add-in I have written in C# for Kenny Kerr’s WindowClippings – a simple, yet incredible easy and very high-quality screenshot utility for Windows.

Two Important Notes:

  • This is a beta, so I’ve set it to expire in July (just to stop people from using old code that could (but hopefully won’t) contain bugs).
  • You will require a license to use this, as WindowClippings doesn’t allow unregistered users to use add-ins.
  • Update: The current (and newer) versions of WindowClippings no longer require licenses to use add-ins!

WordPress 2.5

I’ve just finished upgrading to WordPress 2.5 – a very smooth and easy upgrade, thanks to SVN :)

The entire dashboard has been redesigned and is far easier to navigate, looks nicer, and is much less buggy or “quirky” than before. Ozh’s drop-down menu plugin is a nice addition to it though.

There are some pretty screenshots on the 2.5 Sneak Peak post on the official WordPress blog.


Crysis

Crysis BoxI pre-ordered Crysis a couple of weeks ago, and it arrived yesterday :D

I’ve played it for a few hours, and so far it’s been amazing – great story, graphics and gameplay. I look forward to playing bits of it again once I’ve upgraded my ageing computer – when I tried it at 1920×1080 and “High” settings I got between 1 and 2 FPS! Playing at 1280×800 wasn’t much better, but was (mostly) playable :)

It’s no Half-Life (2) beater, but it comes pretty close. Of course, I might change my opinion once I play it through again on a better PC, but that’s unlikely, especially after how good HL2:Episode 2 was. However, it’s still one of the best games I’ve played in a long time, and I highly recommend it :)


iTunes and Vista? Not really…

iTunes doesn’t seem to play very well with Vista yet…

Oops!

And that was a fresh start of iTunes, after it refused to play anything… Everything would work, it would even tell me it was playing… but no sound came out, and it didn’t move the progress bar.

It works well *most* of the time, but it crashes a lot more than it used to do when I had XP :(

I refuse to use anything else though; I’ll just wait until a patch is released :D

Edit: Seems to be working fine now – I think it was partially caused by a dodgy plugin.
