Got my hands on the new version of VIMAS Web Image Guru. Version 5.5. to be exact. Joy.
Have to admit that once I started using this there was no going back. If I worked at Adobe I would certainly take a sneak peak at this software to augment the native export-to-web function in Photoshop. Especially […]
Still haven’t installed SP2, though it has been on disk since over three weeks ago when the final leaked. Haven’t reviewed the list of changes and fixes but for one that doesn’t use IE anymore and doesn’t want the Firewall it is hard to come up with a reason to rush in. Especially if you’ve […]
My old nemesis, Fileplanet, is back scooping up beta test like there is no tomorrow. Currently they have managed to wrestle not only Tribes 3 Vengeance beta but also the World of Warcraft stress test beta. And some offers (such as WoW) don’t even apply unless you’re in North America (because of server lag no […]
Movies:
Zatoichi was supposed to premiere today. It didn’t. At least not at any cinema near me. Lucky for me that Team Ape’x has got a 3CD XVID AC3 soft-subbed version (with extras) on Suprnova. I’d really like to see it on a big screen but with the current situation there is nothing I can do […]
Wrote a new truncate function (which I dubbed SuperTruncate) for the VideoDB-BOX / module. I just couldn’t bear having the synopsis being cut in the middle of words so I set up a new way of searching for blank spaces in strings and only then truncate and add a trailing set of chars (” ..”). […]
So … another long-winded sci-fi series that I can put behind me. Started watching it years ago but never quite got past more than the first season. Thanks to the wonders of broadband and the BitTorrent protocol, that has been possible to remedy.
As someone pointed out, the entire show, five whole seasons worth, is like […]
Via FARK …
The U.S. Army’s pursuit of a weapon to replace the aging M-16 rifle is still on track despite a failed congressional attempt to pump nearly $26 million into the federal budget to manufacture the weapon in 2005.
Military and legislative officials said development and testing of the new XM8 assault rifle will run through […]
Couldn’t access the server from around 2100 to 1230 local time. Cause unknown. Seemed like database problem at first but then control panel functions seized and domain vanished altogether. Or just slowed down to a virtual halt. Oh well.
EDIT: Ok, so I also made a wee mistake in the usersonline code. Must have been fatigued […]
As a way to completely, totally waste time I decided to try and “skin” VideoDB using the default portal code and design.
So far I’m seeing mediocre progress. Seems some of the script I use on the front page wont play nice, so I made a scaled down version. In the long run this is of […]
