Button Hero – Can YOU press a button?!
Posted by George Nixon in Projects on 23 December, 2009
Button Hero was a strangely fun little thing I made quite a while ago that got me a small amount of internet attention. I noticed it’s had a few visits lately for whatever reason, and I thought I’d move it from its old home at 110mb.com, a free hosting site, to this one. Two reasons, one it might help with the old SEO for this site, you never know, and two I think some people found they couldn’t access it at 110mb as that site is sometimes blacklisted as a haven for naughty internet practices like phishing.
Anyway, to make up for any inconvenience, I swapped out the now-defunct Last.fm player for a Grooveshark widget playing some songs I like and thought would fit. Grooveshark is a site I heartily recommend, particularly if like some of my friends, you can’t find a Spotify invite. Let me know if you’ve got one to spare and I’ll pass it on with much thanks
Squeaky Xbox 360 Controllers
Posted by George Nixon in Tips and Tricks on 18 May, 2009
Just a quick note to let anyone out there who’s just bought a brand new Xbox 360 and shock! horror! the control pad thumbsticks and triggers squeak. Mine did, and I was worried that if I didn’t return it and get another, I might be stuck with noises every time I navigated a menu. Anyway, my message is: don’t fear! After a few weeks of infrequent use, the noise has gone completely. I guess that whatever was causing the friction has worn away enough to make for smooth movement now.
