Software, musical instruments and retro-computing projects

Peacock butterfly

PeacockMedia has existed since June 2000, initially supplying web services as well as creating software for Mac but soon specialising in software for crawling / automated checking of websites with a focus on link checking and SEO. Among our popular titles is Integrity, the best free link checker for Mac.

I am Shiela Dixon, owner.

This is an old domain, now serving as an umbrella. For up-to-date information, see the links below.

Peacockmedia Software

Software for Mac

Integrity has been the best free website link checker on the Mac for almost 20 years. It's one of a family of applications in the areas of ink checking, web scraping and other quality-of-life utilities.

Hardware/software

Projects related to music or retro computing or both

I enjoy developing and using musical instruments, particularly those with interesting, expressive interfaces, such as theremin-like instruments or tongue-drum or kalimba-like percussive instruments. I also enjoy synthesis, particularly early sound-generation hardware such as the SID chip.

Publications

Newsletters, documentation, technical manuals

I publish a number of feeds and periodicals, notably the monthly Hand Spinning News. This involves information gathering, curation, copy writing, proof reading.

I'm open to discussing any project, please get in touch.
