Sick of Words Spelling and Grammar colours
by Stephen on Nov.30, 2005, under Rant
I really want to change these colours to ones that actually mean something to me, but there apears to be no option for it.
Being colourblind doesnt usually bother me as a developer, you just give me colour codes and I use them, or you get what I think looks good if I have to do anything arty.
Run your old DOS programs
by Stephen on Nov.28, 2005, under Tech Tips
I cant think of many old dos programs that I’d actually want to run anymore but some of my older games wont run under Win XP or Wine on Linux, so to play them again I had to find something that could do it, I found Dosbox, its a x86 emulator running a copy of dos, it’ll run under linux, windows, and mac. So far all I’ve used it for is to play Worms and Doom 2 as I havnt read the instructions yet to find out how to get the CD drive to work properly for games like C&C
