Vue Mass Convert 0.6 on Its Way
Thursday, November 20th, 2008I’ve been putting a few finishing touches to a new, improved version of the GUI version of my Mass Convert script for Vue tonight. Hopefully I’ll have the time to package it all up and post it tomorrow.
Mark II Eyeball
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008Spotted this on the BBC web site – the I-Ball – a camera for use in looking in dangerous places. How long till they adapt the idea for sport? It will make for interesting footage from football and cricket plus no more watching a blue sky where there might be a ball during golf. It […]
Oh Cheer Up Duck!
Monday, November 17th, 2008Well I started on NaNoBloWhateverIGotLostSomeWhereInTheMiddleOfTheAcroCumuloNymbusMo by accident. Some days I can’t find anything to write and others I’ve more than I need. Anyway the Princess Trust show from the other night has started turning up on YouTube and here are three of the bits I liked most. [All now removed]
EcoSystem to CSV / CSV to EcoSystem Tested in Vue 7
Sunday, November 16th, 2008I’ve checked EcoSystem to CSV / CSV to EcoSystem in Vue 7 Infinite and its working. As with the other scripts once I’ve tested them all I’ll update the impworks web pages.
Le Doulos
Sunday, November 16th, 2008I saw a write up of Jean-Pierre Melville’s film Le Doulos [1963] in one of those greatest films of all time lists burried between the always present classics and the good recent films that get voted onto lists for a few years and then fade. It caught my attention because its not one of the […]
I Just Want My Glasses Back Now
Saturday, November 15th, 2008I put my glasses in for new lenses last week and so I’m using an old pair that are so close to the same prescription that I can see almost as well as normal. What I’d forgotten is how heavy these are compared to my current glasses and how being so much bigger they catch […]
'Addicted' to Addiction
Thursday, November 13th, 2008As I get older one thing that annoys me more and more is the quantity of what passes for journalism. The rise of editorial over actual reporting. The need to have a journalist at the scene of the event to give a live report to camera and have a nice chat with the studio where […]
New Google Analytics Features
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008Some of the new Google Analytics features look interesting. I’m going to reserve judgment on the animated graph as I’m not convinced its really comprehensible for many sites. Having looked at it on Tuesday night I’d rather not have discovered even more new features had appeared overnight while in a meeting showing it to a […]
Just Messin' Around with Vue 7
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008I’ve just spent the evening messing around with Vue 7. Nothing really to show from tonight but I made the yet to be titled picture above last night. I’ve resized it for the web from a larger, print quality render and cropped it a little too. The ship is from Cornucopia 3D and the Water […]
Spooks won't be Winning…
Monday, November 10th, 2008…Great British Menu. Microwaving a land mine might be an original way to diffuse it (and inverts the microwave as bomb from Under Siege) – unfortunately it was a dastardly French landmine so it would fail the test of being regional. Not sure if it would count as seasonal either. The Bondish technobable element (like […]
