Most designers and programmers whose paths I’ve crossed have heard of PostScript but don’t know much about it. I think it’s a hidden gem. Not only is it a fascinating programming language which can be used to create generative drawings and save you hours of time through automation, but you can also use it as [...]

To use: draw a simple ‘S’ shape on the left-hand panel. Then experiment. Note that it’s fairly crude and only renders convex surfaces properly.
This was a quick mockup I made at the end of last year to try out an idea for a Christmas Card. It was originally going to [...]
I’ve decided to start releasing bits and pieces of source code just for fun. The first one is the Vector Field demo I wrote ages ago.
First, the source code

It’s easy to change the size, colour and ’splat’ graphics. This is totally free for non-commercial use, but I kindly ask that [...]
One of the problems I had when writing Flash Screensavr was sharing preferences between two separate and different SWF files - the Preferences panel and the Screensaver itself. Obviously a job for SharedObject.
However there is a trick to creating a SharedObject that behaves how you’d expect.
