SOHO Contacts Skins

SOHO Contacts Themes

These skins were made for use with SOHO Contacts, part of the SOHO Organizer suite from Chronos L.C.

Simply drop the skin folder into startup drive: Library: Application Support: Chronos: SOHO Contacts: Themes. Launch SOHO Contacts. Choose Preferences: Layout and choose the Theme from the pop-up menu.

Penny: My first quick and simple skin for Contacts. Worth the title or slightly less.





iPod Skins

iPod Skins

All Infinity Ltd. iPod skins are designed for use with 4th Gen Mac-formatted iPods. I test them on a 20GB, but it should work fine on a 40GB. They may work with other models, but I make no guarantees and am not responsible for you frying your iPod!

Also, these skins will not work on WinDOS-formatted iPods. WinDOS users must use PodWizard.

These were made using alterPod, GraphicConverter, and Photoshop. You’ll need alterPod to install iPod skins.

sithPod

sithPod is a total conversion for your iPod. The “Do not disconnect” image is replaced with Darth Vader’s head, shoot at A-Wing Fighters and their R2 droids from the Death Star in the Droid Zap game, and enjoy 3-D images as well (or the best that can be done in often 2-Bit graphics!). Celebrate Vader’s “birth” in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith! (May 24, 2005) Ideally, use this interior skin with this exterior skin on a black & red U2 iPod (Now accepting donations!)

StickyBrain Resource Page

StickyBrain IconStickyBrain Resource PageStickyBrain Icon

StickyBrain is an incredibly useful app from Chronos L.C. Think of it as a cross between Stickies, the Scrapbook, and the Notepad with a whole ton of extra features like hotkeys, alarms, and contact management. Oh, and it serves as a basic word processor, too. N.B. These notes are for StickyBrain 1.x, but most should apply to later versions.

Tips:

Note that screenshots use Kaleidoscope schemes available free from our Scheme page. (Kaleidoscope not included.)

Alarms

Snoozing Keyboard shortcut: When entering a snooze delay, you can type “m”, “h”, or “d” after the number to switch between minutes, hours, and days. No mouse required.

Tab stops in Sticky Windows
Q:
How do I change the tab stops in a Sticky window? I know I can change them in the Ruler-style window, but I want my window to be a Sticky window.
A: You answered your own question. Change the window to a Ruler window, adjust the tab stops or whatever other formatting you want (indent, etc.) and switch it back to “Sticky.” Your changes will be reflected. Just ignore the margins in the Ruler window, since Sticky windows have no margins.

Who is this woman?

SB Corpse IconThe original version of StickyBrain had a bald, blue woman with gears in her head as the icon. While it was a nice color of blue, it was a bit eerie, like a Sinead O’Connor corpse with cerebral implants.

So Chronos changed their icon to this image of a strawberry-blond lady with glasses who bears a striking resemblance to Jamie Lee Curtis. More than just the SB icon, though, she also appears in the button bar icons of Organizer 4, so it appears that she is something of a mascot for Chronos, like Sonic the Hedgehog or Clarus the dogcow.

Chronos has chosen to keep her identity a secret, so we are free to speculate about her identity! Here are my guesses. ]]>, and I’ll add them to the list! (This is all in fun, so Chronos guys, no offense, okay? You asked for it!)

  1. One of the employees. So far, I’ve never had contact with a female employee, so I wouldn’t bet on this one, unless “Dan” is short for “Danielle”.
  2. One of the employees’ wives. We know that at least one of the engineers (Rob) is married, supporting this theory.
  3. She’s a digital Frankenstein. They took images of all their dream girls and amalgamated them into the ultimate dream girl, kind of like Betty Crocker. If you use the Chronos spell-check on the word “Chronos,” (which, interestingly, isn’t in the dictionary by default), one of the suggestions is “hormone,” which would support this theory. The fact that the first SB icon looked like a corpse would also lend to the Frankenstein idea, not to mention the Jamie Lee Curtis similarity.
  4. ]]> (If you submit an idea, let me know if you want your name/e-mail address posted with it.)

Note: She’s not the icon in SB 2. What happened? Girlfriend left? Divorce? Unknown employee left? Jamie Lee Curtis sued Chronos? The ACLU sued for discrimination against digital organisms?

Outlook Express/Entourage Sound Sets

Some of these are hosted at Sound Set Central, but they’ve been a bit slow to update their site, so here are our sound sets. They can be used with OE 5 or Entourage.

  • X-Men Movie: Sounds from the first X-men movie
  • Harry Potter: Sounds from the first 2 Harry Potter movies
  • VeggieTales: This one was made for the VeggieTales K-Scheme but is also available separately.
  • Wyrmworks: This one was made for the Wyrmworks K-Scheme but is also available separately.

Here’s some art I’ve done, mainly just playing around with ClarisWorks and more recently, Photoshop 4.0 LE, and even more recently, Photoshop 4:

Nightcrawler with an iPod: In the style of the Apple iPod commercials

PowerBook 1400 Book Cover: I was recently given a PowerBook 1400cs, and so I made a book cover for it. It is a tiff image, so you can’t preview it, but it incorporates the Infinity Ltd. logo and the WinTIE graphic on a black background.

The Weasel of Death: 100% ClarisWorks 2.0, circa 1995, made on a Performa 410 (LC II: 16 MHz 68030), same as the Jawa & Outhouse Explode graphics below.

100% Pure Jawa: A logo for those scavengers who do their webmastering on Tattooine. Based on Sun Microsystems’ Logo. Made 100% in ClarisWorks 4.

Outhouse Explode: Again, ClarisWorks 4. This one is featured on the MacAddict Website.

Darth Maul of Borg: Made this one for Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

Bill Gates’ Personal TIE Fighter (Wouldn’t want to get stuck in THAT one! Crash City!)

Sith Willie and Emperor Alpatine: The effects of big government. Warning! This one’s political!

Teletubbies: Okay, this one’s for my kids. That’s them in the corner.

Consultant Textures: If you use Chronos Organizer™, here are some extra textures for it, including Mac-centric textures and even Yoda.

R2-iMac: An Intech droid with a G3 processor can take out an Intel anything! This didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped, but here it is anyway.

New Intel Logo: It’s small, and if anyone has a larger version of the original. send me a copy so I can do a larger version!

Welcome Movie: Made this one on the 840av. It’s a simple movie, around 300K with a basic emboss filter.

My Dad: Dear Abby, I’m concerned about my dad. Ever since he started using that wintel, he’s just not the same…. (I love you, Dad.)

Aqua for Consultant: Another texture for Chronos Organizer™. This one was designed with Mac OS X’s Aqua interface in mind. Download & drop the whole folder into your Textures folder (in the Themes folder)

Acrobat Reader Splash: Here’s a replacement splash screen for Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.x with a little Mystique to it, especially for X-men fans. (Preview) Featured at ResExcellence.

Internet Explorer 5 Splash: Yeah, I’ve sold out. So what? Netscape lost the browser war. Here’s a replacement for that ugly Win”D’oh!”s-esque splash screen in IE5. (Preview) Featured at ResExcellence.

Kaleidoscope Schemes

Kaleidoscope Schemes Wintel users: Your machine can't handle this page.

Original Schemes

These are all Schemes I’m playing around with and hope to eventually release.

When completed, they generally have complete icon sets, Outlook Express Sound Sets, Chronos Organizer textures, and the works. Some will also include Holiday Lights bulbs and/or Internet Explorer 5 skins. Watch this page for add-ons.

You can also find many of our schemes at the Kaleidoscope Scheme Archive.

Special thanks to Richard Bensam for Regia, which serves as a wonderful template, and thanks to Ethan Padgett of Chemicons, without whom I’d never have owned Kaleidoscope at all.

Veggietales Preview

VeggieScheme: A tribute to the hugely entertaining VeggieTales® video series. VeggieScheme is complete. The official word from Big Idea Productions is that the scheme will have to wait for public release, but if you’re interested in a preview version, we can arrange that.

Old Glory Window

Roy G. Biv: This is an experiment in rainbow colors and gradients. It looks better in full color, but choosy webmasters choose GIF.

Marathon Stuff

Marathon Starship Factory

Here at Infinity Ltd., we use the latest in outdated starship manufacturing equipment. You just wish you could use stuff as old as ours that still works! Our starships have been manufactured with Chester and Nicodemus, a pair of 68K Macintoshes.

If one of these ideas sounds good to you (& is not yet complete, let me know so I can speed production for you.

Cyborg

Marathon 2 Maps

Most of the maps I make will attempt to be M2 compatible. Love that Durandal. Until I bought the trilogy, I was stuck with M2 & got frustrated with the lack of M2 maps on the web. Anyway, some will be for Marathon Infinity, but only when necessary.

  • Pfhounders Way is my first map, based on the apartment I lived in at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, MO. It was nice, but the pfhor infestation was a bit annoying.
  • Pfhlood Waters was almost done when my Hard Drive crashed on Nicodemus, and since I didn’t back up, I’ll have to start from scratch. It involves intrigue, carnage, and a surprise ending. Oh, I hope you can tread water!!!!!
  • May the Pfhors be with you! is a story of freeing the persecuted. Remember who your friends are….
  • Pfhormaldehyde is one for people who like lots of carnage. Nothing else. No extras like plot, etc. I got the idea from playing DOOM.
  • Mall Rats purges the Mall of America of nasties.

Other plans include:

  • A complicated maze based on the labyrinth of the minotaur
  • Rescue kids from a school (based on the schools I’ve attended) Okay, this one is real tentative. Given the new “bomb the school” craze, I’m reluctant to release this one since some psycho will think it’s fun to kill the kids the way we all like blasting away @ the B.O.B.s. What do you think?
  • A series based on the buildings of the University of Wisconsin: Madison.

Marathon Infinity Maps

Coming Soon?

  • Super Marathon Bros is based on the Super Mario Bros games from Nintendo. Maybe a tribute to the Donkey Kong series which began the whole thing. Note that it won’t include Super Mario 2, which had nothing to do with the other ones in the series.

  • No Long Underwear! Involves rescuing various superheroes from certain death.

  • Pfhac Man is based on the classic Pac Man game.

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Pfhor is based on Eastman & Laird’s popular comic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. (Not based on the TV show&emdash;no “cowabungas” or pizza here!)

  • Danté’s Inpfherno is based on the hotter portion of the Divine Comedy.

  • I, Strahd places you at the mercy of Strahd Von Zarovich of Ravenloft fame and his undead minions. (For fans of Vampires, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, and necromancy.)

Pfhor Hunter

Enforcer

Marathon Physics Models, Patches, etc.

Future Plans:

  • Bunny Patch replaces the enemy with Intel Bunnymen. Expect a few M$ cameos, too. Toast ’em with style!
  • Death Star gives you stormtroopers and Darth Vader himself to blast at. Possible other Star Wars cameos.
  • Barney Patch: Ever glad you have a Mac so you don’t have to get your kids that annoying purple Actimates doll? You’ve heard about its Y2K issue, right?
  • Kevorkian Patch: Think of it as “Assisting Physician suicide” at its finest! Send Dr. Death to collect from his clients, and let him go with dignity. Note that, however much he deserves it, no one should shoot the real Jack Kevorkian.
