Screen animations for Christmas

Well, I’m set. I have my countdown snowglobe and a lovely animated Christmas tree – the Garland tree – which is throwing  out sparkles as I write! You can get the animated snowglobe from get-xmas. In the left side bar there is a download section with the Christmas trees zip file. You extract the files and an icon comes up on your desktop. Click and there you are. Right click on the animation and there are settings you can change to suit yourself.

Code an Advent calendar

 

Pete Dring has made a series of tutorials for GSCE students in England so they can make a coded advent calendar which looks really nice. The tutorials are not long and are explained well. You do not have to be a coding expert and know a lot about coding to follow this information. It is meant for older students, though.

Star Wars Christmas

Just a bit of fun from the Salt Lake City Comic Con.

Steam Castle is ready for Christmas

Had a lovely time decorating my computer for Christmas. It has a USB tree and lights, a little LED bling Christmas tree light which I have put in a frame, a cool glam candle holder made from perspex and glitter beads and then strings of gold beads on  top of the Steam Castle . The Christmas theme comes from themepack.me. It’s the Christmas Tree theme.
