Yep... There is a nice big active memory leak in Desktop Cigarette! It bleeds about 2k every animation cycle... due to my use of deprecated functions, I kind of cobbled the newer Dock icon function on top of the old program, and didn't update any of my actual graphics code- long story short, I had to kind of shove an older graphics rendering into a newer space... and in doing so lose a little chunk of memory every time, due to pointer conversion and incomplete memory management. Rather than try to fix a half-assed rigging, I'm going to start over from the begining and build Desktop Cigarette from scratch... or I may turn it into a widget... For now, Desktop Cigarette 1.0.1 works fine, it'll just slowly consume your system resources. Long term use may have an adverse effect on your computer's health.
(Hell, maybe I won't fix it and just attach an "Admiral's Warning" to it.)

I Fixed Desktop Cigarette

So I just recently upgraded to Leopard, only to discover that Desktop Cigarette had stopped working... After some investigation I discovered why (Deprecated functions! Wheee!) and then proceeded to fix it. Now it is fully 10.5 compatible (as you can see from the screen shot...) As always, you can get it from my webpage Here.

Heat Stroke!

So I have finished and released Heat Stroke... A game that started as a terrible idea and ended up being a relatively entertaining game... You can get more info at my website or download it directly Here... The premise is that you've left your kids in the car during a short shopping jaunt... and you have to pick up the items on your shopping list before they become victims of... Heat Stroke!!!!
I'm sure I'll be getting tons of mail about this one...

A New Website!
So I finally broke down and got myself a full-fledged website for Mojiferous Industries... the address, of course is www.mojiferous.com... Come see the splendor of my pants! (there is also a wiki for Mojiferous Industries at wiki.mojiferous.com)
In other news, This guy here made a widget out of the old Lobster Petting... Ah yes... Version 2.0 ran on System 7- it has been sooo long since I actually had a working version (since my Intel Mac doesn't do classic.) Thanks to the crew at Doctor Widget for bringing the Lobster back to life!
