Stammy’s Latest Creation: FlickrSlidr
Friday, May 18th, 2007 » The Web
Paul Stamatiou has been working hard the last week and a half or so on an idea that he’s kept rather secret. After a week of Twitter updates expressing his fun with the coding, he announced/launched FickrSlidr, a simple and easy-to-use tool for generating embed-able photo slideshows, a la flickr. I’ll be honest and say that I’ve never actually used the slideshow functionality of flickr, as I prefer to just browse through a user’s images. But FlickrSlidr makes embedding so easy, that I had to create one myself.
Created with Paul’s flickrSLiDR.
A New Virb
Friday, February 16th, 2007 » The Web
Yes, I spelled that correctly. Virb is an upcoming social networking site brought to us by Unborn Media, the people behind PureVolume, one of the most successful and well-known social music sites. Today I scored an invite thanks to Paul and a generous reader of his blog, and have had a little bit of time to sit down and play with it.
A Digg Screensaver For OS X
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007 » Mac OS X, Software, The Web
As most Mac users will know, Tiger has a built-in screensaver for displaying RSS feeds. And it’s pretty damn nice, too. The first time my dad saw it at the Apple Store in Lyndhurst, he commented on how cool the animations were. Being the only Mac convert in my family, I began to think there was hope for him after all. RSS has undoubtedly changed the way I read most articles and news stories on the ‘net. With digg being one of my favourite news sites, I thought about how cool it would be to have a digg-style screensaver.
