Okay, so what exactly have I been doing lately if all the arcade stuff is packed away? Well, this has been going on for a few months now and to start off with I found myself actually watching the TV, something I don't normally do too much of. Stargate Atlantis had started back up, as had A Town Called Eureka. One afternoon we stumbled across a catch up weekend of Heroes entirely by accident out of boredom and that quickly got added to the list, but there's only so much TV that someone who doesn't normally watch it can take!

Bring it on Apple!! Read More...

Was playing around with AppleScript tonight and created a very trivial little front end for starting sdlmame on OSX. Well, more of a dialogue than a front end really. Anyway, if you use sdlmame on a Mac, don't really like bloated front ends with all their screenshots and other stuff then checkout the article, it's under "Misc Stuff" on the left. Wth just a few lines of script then you can avoid having to drop into the terminal all the time! I'll do a bit more work on it another time to add a couple of minor extra features but that'll do as a starter to get you going.

Also found a bunch more repair logs that I must find the time to write up! 3 for Centipede and 1 for a bootleg PacMan pcb that turned out to actually be a Ms PacMan pcb when i got it going (shame!)

Also changed from the PC world to the Mac world and am doing quite a lot of internal work on the site to reflect this. I hope to be incorporating a blog / diary / call it what you will which will firstly allow me to maintain this home page better, and secondly will allow me to add a diary of my experiences with the switch to the Mac. Yes, I know, not arcade related, but hey, hopefully interesting none the less. In fact, may have a couple of non arcade related things coming up for the site sometime soon...
