Recently I have been messing around with an idea that I have for a social app, basically I am no designer so I called in some help from Mr Google to find me somewhere to get my hands on some icons. I was needing something that would stand out but not be too IN YOUR FACE.

I cam across Iconspedia.com which was my answer to all my icon needs, not only did it have what I needed they were free as well – I was prepared to pay a pretty penny for some good icons for the layout I have set up. All I need to do now is actually complete the idea, test it out and launch it, which I hope will be the start of December.

So if you need any Web, Social, iPhone or even Android Icons pop across to iconspedia.com – they guys across there have everything you need to get your idea off the ground or even just add a little bit of color to that dark, dreary 1999 website which you just have not updated.

As some of you know I actually have a blog where I write horror movie reviews, I try to be honest and not to cliche when it comes to being a movie reviewer, I wont give a movie 5 stars just because its this years blockbuster! If I liked it, then I will review it well, otherwise – you get the picture.

Well this year has been one of those unusual years for horror movies, or at least it has been for me. Last year I thought was really good, there were a load of good scary movies but this year I can count on one hand the good horror movies I have seen. Paranormal Activity 3 and Red State are two that stood out for me.

Paranormal Activity 3 because it was so very different from the second movie, which was basically a carbon copy of the first. I think the direction of the scares and the suspense was so different that it made it a different experience. Red State is on the list mainly as its the first time I though Kevin Smith, the director, actually made a movie that I can take seriously. I love Kevin Smith’s movies, but Red State is on a different planet in terms of differences.

With it coming into good horror movie season, in other words Halloween, I have set my self up with some HD wallpapers for my computer. It makes a change from the DeLorean wallpaper, or it will until I pick a back to the future from the Movies HD wallpapers section.

With all the talk around the new iPhone 4s lots of people have been wondering about unlocked iPhone 4s and weather its possible. Apple for years have tried to make it difficult to unlock an iPhone but they have never made it impossible. With an Unlocked iPhone 4s you will get all the normal functionality as a normal locked device, although you will be able to use your iPhone across any network you want.

I have had this problem recently and I have heard of lots of horror stories about people trying it on their own and ending up with an iPhone which just doesn’t work. So why not ask someone that knows what they are doing? If you want to unlock iPhone 4s then do what I done and get someone that does it every day, there is no point risking your very expensive iPhone 4s just to end up with a very expensive paper weight.

As I have mentioned before I am a software engineer at Zendit and have been for over a year now. We now have our very first app in the app store! Its totally free so why not even give it a try? Personally I find it useful for sharing pictures and videos with a few friends, especially when I see something that I know will get a few laughs! (Yes I crave attention, leave me alone! Oh wait…).

I had an idea for a web app a few months ago, I started development about 4 weeks ago and I am hoping to go live in small incremental stages with stage 1 going live in another 4 – 6 weeks. The idea is top secret for now until I get stage 1 out onto the web, but it has given me a real reason to look into supplying data to users in real time, mainly WebSockets. Continue reading »
