Thank you Next
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007It’s easy to complain about bad service (Orange and Dell have both come in for a bit of that here) so I thought I ought to say thank you to the staff of Next who made the purchase of two new sofas a painless process. The shop staff were helpful and answered all my questions, […]
Vue Lighting Rig #6: Two Spots Slightly to the Side
Monday, November 5th, 2007This week I’m continuing my series of basic lighting rigs for e-on software’s Vue inspired by theatrical lighting techniques. All the rigs so far have used a single light but this week’s is the first to use two. With two lights there is now light to both sides of the face. There are fewer areas […]
A Few Tweeks to Too Many Ideas
Monday, November 5th, 2007I’ve fiddled around a bit with this blog today adding a bookmarking widget and cleaning up the tags (or labels as blogger calls them), mostly getting rid of ones that were either duplicates or only had one post attached to them and merging a few of them.

The Steward, the Kriegsherr, his Femme Fatale & her Brother: Accepted
Sunday, October 28th, 2007Just heard from Astonishing Adventures Magazine that they’ve accepted "The Steward, the Kriegsherr, his Femme Fatale & her Brother" for issue 2. It’s a sort of sequel to "The Electron Jockey". I’m already 600 words into a sort of sequel to this one with the working title "Dirk Dangerous and the Giant Balls of Doom".
