Album Shower on Marketplace

Hot on the heels of Cheese Lander, you can now download and play with my second Windows Phone application. Album Shower displays your album artwork as a moving display on the phone screen. Touching any album starts playback. You can find out more at the Zune Marketplace link for the application.

Snowed in Phone Fun

If you ask for “Hot Chocolate Deluxe” at the Purple Cow you get this. We had to take the sweets home for later.Fantastic.

Spent today snowed in working on some more Windows Phone fun and games. (although we did step out for Sunday Lunch at the Purple Cow in Cottingham – have the gammon with two eggs on top it is ace)

If you are a Windows Phone developer (and you should be) you must get the Windows Phone October update. This gives you some nice extras, including a way of debugging Windows Phone applications that use the media content on the phone. I’m finding this very useful just at the moment. And remember that if you write Visual Basic there is now an Windows Phone Visual Basic SDK just for you.

Cheese Lander has Landed

Anyone with a “Cheese Lander” shaped hole in their lives now has somewhere to turn. For the princely sum of 79 British Pence (that’s a couple of normal Mar Bars or one and a bit of the really large ones) you can now own a copy of “The Best Cheese Landing Game in the World”. That I know of. In Hull. Written by me.

Anyhoo, if you want to be able to whip out your Windows Phone at a party and say “Anyone here fancy landing some cheese?” you can find it on Windows Phone Marketplace here.

New 08101 Tutorial Podcast

I took the camera out when I went to buy some milk first thing. Glad that I did.

Even more snow on the church

Can you use your powers of detection to discover where I’ve hidden the two crows in this picture?

Oh, and there is a new Battleships tutorial available. You can find it here.
