Desktop app of the week: YoruFukurou

YoruFukurou icon

YoruFukurou is my favourite desktop twitter app. In most apps, it’s simplicity that I like, but YoruFukurou is one of the more complex, deeply customisable twitter apps. I like the fact that I can customise everything about it, picking colours carefully and getting everything just right.

Other twitter apps all seem to have something missing, or just don’t feel right for me. That said, if a desktop version of Tweetbot was released, I’d ditch YoruFukurou in a second. Tweetbot is an absolutely exceptional iOS twitter client that I use constantly and really love. But, having tried lots of different desktop options, it’s currently YoruFukurou that does it for me.

I’m cheating slightly today since this is a photo from yesterday, but I thought it was quite pretty. As Wendy and I flew from Belfast to Newcastle, the sun was setting and the sky looked lovely! Unfortunately, my photo’s a bit blurry, but the colours look nice.

Photo-a-day 156: Ward Park

This is a duck house in Bangor’s 37 acre Ward Park, where I came to see Snow Patrol in 2010. In the park, that is, not in the duck house. It’d be a bit of a squeeze to fit a crowd of 40,000 in a duck house, after all.

At the Metrocentre this evening, I did have to wonder: is there some kind of celebration happening this weekend?!
