The taskbar glow is just gorgeous. It takes the most prominent colour in the icon, and makes the entire application bar glow that colour.

Oh wow, that’s awesome. Is that new in 7600? I swear I’ve never seen it before.

I’m still running the evaluation version (RC1?), which I think is 7000 or 7100…

Who?

My name’s Alex Muller.

I’ve completed two years of undergraduate study (in Computer Science and Maths) at the University of York.

I worked at GlaxoSmithKline, a large pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare company, from July 2010 until September 2011.

I’ve started my final year of university, learning loads of Python, a ton of probability & statistics and I'm taking a course titled “Crypto, Attacks & Countermeasures”. It’s brill. I love graphs and maps.

What?

My personal blog, where I write about things that interest me. To give you an idea, here’s the most popular posts:

• Vodacom on iPhone in South Africa (Apr 2010)
• Teenage Killings in London (Sep 2008)
• LED vs CCFL (Jan 2010)
OS X Leopard on a Samsung NC10 Netbook (Jan 2009)
Profile Unavailable (Oct 2007)
Link: Dropbox Snow Leopard Service (Sep 2009)
T-Mobile vs O2 on Mobile Data (Sep 2008)

Entries • in bold are those I am most pleased with.

There’s a big long list with every post if you’d like it.
