If there was something that stood out the most to people when they have a go on a mac it’s how damn smooth the scrolling is, especially 2 finger scrolling using the trackpad. It didn’t take long for oems to realise they ought to add this functionality as Microsoft certainly wasn’t going to. But this turned out to be such an awfuly jerky, jumpy experience that most would deactivate the option, until now.
Forum member MacHater over at notebookreview has released a stand alone program that greatly improves trackpad scrolling on windows pcs. It’s called TwoFingerScroll and allows heavy tweaking of the sensibility and whether to allow horizontal scrolling and even circular scrolling. You can also configure a variety of 2 and 3 finger gestures like 3 finger swipes for alt+tab providing a lion like window switcher.
I highly recommend this to any laptop user and you can grab it from the link below:

4 days until the #gsoc coding period officially starts. I haven’t had a chance to do much preparation yet but that should change from tomorrow. I’ve set the, in theory, easier to implement functions at the beginning of my timeline so progress should be noticeable very soon, also once things start being completed the updates here should pick up.
Today we had a short meeting on IRC in anticipation of GSOC starting in less than a month. You can check out the transcript here although I’d advice it’s pretty inane. Lot’s to get stuck into and learn how to use, re familiarize myself with Pandora server as I haven’t used it for a couple of weeks, will probably set up my environment on my desktop as well so that I can stay in my room with my nice new fan keeping me cool. Also on the to-do list is acquaint myself with Articas on-line work logging site which will introduce a whole new way of working for me. This will be centred on extensive planning, discussion and documentation before even actually typing any code. Things are going to start getting exciting very fast especially with the GSOC welcome package arriving soon which will bring the funds for me to buy a Galaxy Nexus and thus help make my project ICS compatible!
Today is a quick post on adding that personal touch to your Windows 7 PC, changing the start menu orb!
