The software I put together a while back to fix stuck pixels and screen burn-in on LCD and plasma screens has been getting a lot of attention recently. I decided it deserves its own domain name. The updated JScreenFix can now be found at http://www.jscreenfix.com.

After numerous requests for a DVD version to run on standalone TV systems I have put together a downloadable DVD image too. Additional videos are also available for other devices.

According to various web sites online, JScreenFix is the best method of fixing stuck pixels on LCD screens.

Another Java Application to add to my collection. This time its something different. - A game.

The idea is simple: poke pictures to release letters, use the letters to make words.
The words are then sent to google image search to make more images. Lots of search results and long search phrases get you more points.

I've been sitting on this a while waiting for google to respond to my email to confirm the name and inclusion of their image search technology, but I have now given up waiting. I have registered www.googleoids.com and put an alpha test version online. I plan to put more work into this soon.

In the mean time have a play and contribute on the googleoids forum.

Today I released a new version of JADS to incorporate a number of improvements including template rotation and aspect fix.

Both Keynes College and the Electronics Department at the University of Kent are now running the new version.

If you have not heard of JADS or would like to experiment with what the new version can do, head over to: Jads.co.uk

A number of websites claim that a complete port scan to fully test a firewall can not be performed across the Internet because it would take many hours, possibly days to complete.

JFirewallTest is a two stage approach that can test all 65,536 ports in under 10 minutes.

The first stage is to create a list of ports that are waiting for connections locally. JFirewallTest performs this action by making dummy connections to all ports on your local machine. To speed up operation JFirewallTest is multi-threaded and is therefore not slowed down by pending responses. The list of open ports is sent to this web site for the second stage.

The second stage is to test each open port to see if it is accessible from the Internet. This is performed by a cgi script on this server and the results are displayed live to the user.

The cgi script needs a bit more work, I'm hoping to link it to a port database and list common trojans in the next few days.

Most plasma screens over a couple of months old have some evidence of screen burn. This is typically part of a channel logo, if used for TV viewing, or window controls, if used for a computer monitor.

Screen burn can be removed by rapidly turning on and off each colour element on the screen for an extended period. JScreenFix does exactly this.

JScreenFix can also be used to re-energise stuck pixels on an LCD screen. - EDIT: Very effectively as it turns out!
