Reactionary Scrolling

Sunday 15th July 2007

I was looking at this class about reactionary scrolling from hotrocket. Whilst not the most sophisticated class for AS2 Flash, its link was broken for download, so I thought I’d duplicate it here incase anyone else was curious to see it.

You can Reactionary Scrolling.

PlayStation Home coming to mobile phones

Thursday 12th July 2007
PlayStation Home on Mobile

At Sonys E3 conference, they announced that PlayStation Home will be coming to mobile phones. Blimey. That’ll be Sony actually taking advantage of that huge part of Sony corp known as Sony Ericsson. The presentation then showed a photo of a Sony Ericsson W880i running an XMB menu with Home highlighted. Phil Harrison said:

“Now let’s turn back to the thing that we started off with, the PS Home . We’ve made some important new additions to the service, and I’d like to share them with you. We have the Home client now running on a mobile phone. The touchpoints and community experience of home are expanding to the mobile environment.”

Of course, we need to actually see it running first, but I guess Home on the go would let you check your buddy requests, messages and updates on the go, perhaps when you’re bored. Actually, only when you’re bored.

Lets hope they call it Mobile Home.

New Sony PSP - Size comparison

Thursday 12th July 2007
PSP Size Comparison

Sony, as expected, have just unveiled their new slimmer, lighter PSP. That'll be the, er, PSPtwo? Anyway - it's pretty much the same. The weight will make a difference but I can't help but feel disappointed that additional features have been left off.

Where's the built in flash memory? Bundling a 1Gb card is nice, but kinda old now.

A week in Cornwall

Sunday 24th June 2007

Spent last week in Cornwall. Bit of bad luck with the weather though - heavy rain and force 8 gales for most of the week. Camping anywhere in England during the week of Glastonbury = bad idea. Sought refuge at my Mums house mid-week to dry off and put the camping plans to rest.

Oh well. Caroline and I managed to enjoy the week none the less. Random pics...

The heat in the Eden Projects' Rainforest Biome is incredible. As are the plants, their scale is awesome.

This is pure genius! Somewhat offensive but it's great comedy. Fresh off the boat from Will Ferrells' Funny or Die comedy video site.

New PSP details

Friday 8th June 2007

Kotaku just posted some interesting (rumoured) details about the new PSP due out later this year. Sony have said a number of times now that a redesigned PSP (with the same hardware) is in the works but not yet announced any official details. I'm going to shamelessly rip the article right here and now:

Keep in mind this isn't Playstation Portable 2, but rather a redesign of the original, so it will be sporting the same internal hardware. But that's about the only thing that hasn't changed. The new Playstation Portable will have a much slimmer design, thanks mostly to a new LED screen that will deliver an ultra-crisp image but take up far less space. That LED also helps pump up the battery life of this sexy new model, which can last as much as four times longer than the original PSP. While the new PSP still makes use of the UMD drive, it will be a faster version and to help speed up loadtimes and gameplay, the portable will come packed with 8GBs of internal flash memory. Finally, the PSP's much maligned buttons have been revamped and the D-Pad has gotten a major overhaul, giving portable gamers something more like a Playstation 3 D-pad to play with.

So that's quite nice then.
