I couldn’t believe it when I read it this morning. A whole year since the incredible Elizabeth Sladen left us. I thought I should post something simple to remember her.

techBASIC 2.0
I only just found out about this universal app. It looks really amazing as a BASIC programming environment, but most interesting of all is how it integrates with HiJack, which has grabbed my attention.
The app isn’t cheap though at £10.49, and the HiJack is $79 too, so I’m not diving in straight away, at least not for the HiJack. The app looks good though.
App revisit: Sir Sampleton
Sir Sampleton is a great little sampling app that’s got a nice interface and just does the job really well.
Classic Trek: The Enemy Within
This is a fantastic episode from the original series. A great idea and a superb opportunity for Mr Shatner to play both sides and have a load of fun with it.
I’m really enjoying the original series, it’s a great to see these old stories.
Yep, I decided to fun the Pebble
I mentioned this the other day. A great idea and a massive response via kickstarter. I’ve joined in too now, so I look forward to September and getting a Pebble in the post.
App revisit: Euno Synth
This was a great idea for a synth app, and had a very clean interface, but it was really hard to get to grips with it. By the time you’d set the synth controls and moved to the keys page you couldn’t tell what the sound would be like. It didn’t make sense from there really.
It was a shame really. It hasn’t seen an update for a long time now either.
App revisit: Beat it!
I remember this game when it first arrived, it was a great idea, and it still is, but I always found it just a bit too hard, which made it a bit off putting really. Which was a shame as visually it was amazing to play.
Finishing Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
I’ve been listening to this for ages now, on and off, and I finished it yesterday. It was a great story, and very well dramatised. I really enjoyed the audio book, and I think Harry Enfield did a great job as Dirk Gently.
The TV show was good, but the original stories are really good much better. It’s such a shame that there’ll be no more Dirk Gently.
Pebble looking amazing
Amazing to see that Pebble has been funded to over $3m from an initial request of just $100,000. I have to admit that it is an amazing idea and if it is as expected then it will be a major step forward for smart watches.
What’s especially interesting is the possibility of an SDK that could be used to make the Pebble do more, and possible control music software on an iPhone.
I guess it’s just a question of time to find out what people end up making with it.
And then look what arrived
I don’t think you can ever have enough Doctor Who to listen to.
