Designed to be obsolete
After reading this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieter_Rams, I can’t help but think that Apple does not stick to the rule It is Long-lasting as they seem to make most of their own products obsolete.
I don’t know why the feel they have to do this but it is one reason why I have decided not to buy any Apple products for the foreseeable future.

Boredom
Getting really fed up with the fact that the adult maths course that I am doing is taking so long. One of the reasons for this is the tutor who seems intent on talking for far to long to eveyone else and not getting his job done.

Going minimal.
Ok I’m sold. After trying Simple Software’s ZenEdit for only a few seconds I already think it’s a fantastic piece of software and I’m wishing I’d found it sooner. My only gripe is the lack of spell checker although my spelling is pretty good sometimes I type to fast or make basic mistakes (the dreaded teh for example) and it would be nice to have them highlighted in...

I would love to get one of these if only they would make it.

Jee-zus!!!
Had to use my father in laws laptop today and I can’t belive the amount of junk he has on it. to start with it’s running Vista which is not the best of OSes in the first place then there is all the normal maintainace thngs that he hasn’t done like clearing out the internet files that build up, not stoing folders full of files on the desktop and gerenrally keeping it up to date.

Icons
Hav been working on a ‘set’ for want of a better description of program replacemet icons. whether the will see the light of day and be released as yet I’m not sure it all depends on how they look when I’m done.

Return
Don’t think I’ve posted anything for quite some time on here, that long in fact that I’ve forgotten when it was.
So I’m going to start posting stuff again.

Is it just me or are some of the locations getting worse, some places are great some are far to boring they need to move about the place they are in and get on with it.

merlin:
Last night, I was reading some of the angry Amazon reviews of the “Coppola Restoration” of The Godfather trilogy. Hi-larious.
Essentially, there’s a lot of bleating and whining and high nerd drama over how the restored versions of I and II don’t look—what?—”Blu-ray” enough, I guess.
Too dark, too overexposed, too red, too yellow, and waaaaaaaaaay too grainy, waaaaaah!!! complain a...

MMORPG's
After playing Guild Wars pretty solidly for nearly four years earning titles and getting a lot of things I maybe didn’t need, elite armour, rare weapons and such I gave up for a few months took a step back and let things calm down. At the time it was starting to feel like an obsession, constantly trying to get more items harder to earn titles getting other characters ( I have 9 altogether )...

Speechless.
a father of a wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the intention of showing him how poor people live so his son would be grateful for the luxurious life he had been provided. they spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. on their return home, the father asked his son, “how was the trip?” “it was...

Bye bye clutter
In a few minutes I will be brutally minimising the clutter on my desk as I feel its about time I did.
New project
I’ve spent the past 2 hours working on a mock up, I’m not saying anything else just yet but if I like it I’ll post it on flickr and deviant art just to get reactions
Drawn
I found livebrush recently, an adobe air program and I have to say for the type of sketches and drawings i do its brilliant.
Its really easy to use the pen i use feels almost like a pencil, there are a few downsides, you can’t export the image to .svg without buying the full version but thats not to bad ( the full version costs $10 which seems quite reasonable), other then these its a great...
getting worse
Today is making me feel rough I just want something to do, I also want to take both the laptop and desktop pc that are here and clean both of them up properly neither of them has been defragged since they where bought, they are full of crap off limewire and god knows how many other pieces of p2p software that they don’t need, some of the crap being spyware and viruses.
I know they have...
Boredom strikes
Arrrgh I have no power at my house and have had to go to my inlaws to keep warm boredom has kicked in and I hate the laptop I’m currently using, well I don’t the laptop would be fine if it was running Windows 7 and not Vista.
Feeling rough
I’m slightly hung over from a cracking night out to celebrate my birthday yesterday, the black coffee didn’t do much good but the monster energy and 2 slices of toast did.
Next time I will have to remember to get more orange juice in as I ran out and had to put apple juice with my vodka which just doesn’t taste right.

More video's
Downloading some more wildlife video’s, seems its becoming an addiction. Still it’s not a bad one and I only get the ones that are freely available, I wont torrent anything.
Does this still work
quick test post while I watch the Museum Victoria - Giant Squid Dissection, not sure if tumbleweed is still working.

Not the done thing
I’m thinking about trawling the internet for a way to remove the expiry date from windows 7 rc just to get away from windows xp, yeah I know its wrong but I doubt I’m the only person who has thought about it and I’m pretty certain there is a lot of people out there that have already done it.

New Tumbleweed Air App
Just updated to this and it looks a whole lot better then the last version. It somewhat looks more like a native Windows program now rather then a generic any OS one.

Why do I pay
The programs on tv are getting worse, even with sky tv its bad. There just isn’t anything on, I’m begining to wonder why I pay for a tv license.
Illustrator
Getting to grips with Ai is going to take longer then I thought, it feels like its a world awy form Photoshop and I’m still learning new things on that all the time.
Waiting
I hate waiting, especially for people who wont give you any indication of when they are setting off or arriving.
Bloody stupid thing
Think I’m going to have to uninstall Photoshop to try Illustrator as they don’t want to work together, still I can always put Ps back on when the Ai trial has finished.
