Welcome
This is the home of Toxic Software, makers of software for Mac OS X.
About Me
My name is Jonathan Wight and I am the sole person behind Toxic Software. I have been a Macintosh software developer for many years.
Now in 2005 I've decided to take the plunge and work for myself as a shareware developer and Mac OS X consultant.

I would like to thank…
Cripes.
I just won Ironcoder. I now join the esteemed ranks previous winners: Lucas Eckels, Gus Mueller and Mark Dalyrmple.
A big thank-you to Mark for hosting and judging Ironcoder. As we’ve learnt over the previous contests, judging Ironcoder is a tough and time consuming job (although Lucas had it easy). And coming up with interesting APIs and themes isn’t easy either. Now I have been “rewarded” with this task for the next Ironcoder.
I’ll post more about my winning entry “spacecam” later. I was actually quite surprised I won after seeing some of the other entries, all of which were rather cool.
Ironcoder started off as pet project of the #macsb irc channel (itself an offshoot of the “Mac Small Business Mailing List“). And as such many of the usual suspects from #macsb are amongst the entrants. However I get a big kick out of all the Ironcoder entries that were from people I’ve never heard of and have never seen in irc.
Jeff Smykil from Ars Technica has taken an interest in Ironcoder and has posted an article on Friday announcing it. It is good to see outside interest in Ironcoder and I hope this trend continues.

Congratulations. Your entry was quite spiffy; the use of your own kernel for the filters puts it over the top. It is hard working with image algorithms, especially changing the background. There is a reason they are bright green screens.

Exact same thing I was thinking at the conclusion of IC3. Must be the nature of the beast, and what catches the judge’s fancy.
