Welcome to a Rainy Day!

Hi, my name is John Eriksson.

For me, a rainy day has always been a good day. A rainy day means that you can stay inside coding fun stuff with a clear conscience :-)

On this site you will find some of my rainy day/late night projects. I'll also try to use the notebook-section to write down some small tutorials and other experiences.

Since I believe in contributing to the coder-society I'll never ever release anything here without including the source code. Hope you'll enjoy your visit!

Please drop a line in the Guestbook.

Time for a change?

Are you tired of buggy operating systems that costs a fortune? Get a new one! Get Ubuntu!

Instead of Microsoft Office you have Open Office. Instead of Photoshop you have The GIMP. And if you feel like coding a game or a nice utility you have Python and Pygame!

You can get the latest version by surfing to ubuntu.com. It's easy to install and easy to use!

Go get it!

Is it pouring down outside?

When the rain is pouring down outside it's not allways easy to find fun stuff to do inside. You can of course surf the net, watch a film or code some cool algorithms. But what if you want to do something else but sit in front of your computer or TV?

I've added a few links to my favorit rainy-day-sites. Why not dig in to some fashinating Print-And-Play game or print out an old Lego blueprint?

Some tips for a rainy day

Game Spotlight: Slingshot

Got some time to kill? Take control over a space shuttle and blast some nuclear waste pods!

Slingshot is an addictive space game where you by careful aiming tries to get your photon torpedoes to hit their targets. You must use planet gravity, wormholes and force field bouncing to complete your mission. The more waste pods you hit by a shot the higher score. Asteroids and Alien spacecraft's makes your job a little bit harder.

You can play the game on both Windows and Linux.
