Now there's a post title that'll drive some traffic….pr0n seekers - sorry to disappoint…
It is remarkable how stressful and distracting it is when you get your car broken into, and then you proceed to get bent over and screwed by your insurance company, insurance broker and two different mechanics. It's 9 days later and I […]
One of the other things stolen from my car was the car charger for my cell phone. My desktop charger was ruined a year or so ago in a kitchen sink mishap (don’t ask), so the car charger was my sole means of keeping my trusty 5 year old Audiovox 8300 phone ticking.
Well since the […]
I've been called a lot of things in my 39 years on this planet, but indefatigable hasn't been one of them - until now. That's what I was called on the XMMS2 Logo contest blog today. While I assumed (correctly) it was a compliment, I am nothing if not honest about the fact that […]
On a lighter note, the day before Idiot broke into my car, I picked up a new 4GB compact flash card for, get this, $129.00 CDN.
I took a look at an old Shutterbug magazine from November 2003, its cover story touting the news that Lexar had released the worlds first 4GB flash card. At that […]
At work today, sometime between 8:50am and 12:20pm, I was paid a visit by a person henceforth known as “Idiot”. Idiot proceeded to punch out the door lock on my car and enter the vehicle. Then Idiot hammered in the ignition switch on my steering column and twisted the steering column housing. After this, Idiot […]
Jeez.. I almost missed it. The 2007 Formula One season is already underway and Round 1 in Australia is on tonight!
Better yet, I can finally cheer for Ferrari (not that I necessarily will) once again now that Schumacher is gone. I've been sworn enemies of Ferrari's F1 effort ever since 1997 on that dark day […]
Seems like everybody and their grandmother are holding a logo contest these days:
create.freedesktop.org is a project whose aim is to facilitate the sharing of things like code, media and infrastructure between various free and open source creative applications (think Inkscape, GIMP, cinepaint, scribus, Audacity and the like). They're going to be holding a […]
Astute visitors to this blog will now notice a nice tag cloud over on the right. Please direct your applause to phydeaux3. About 3 cut and pastes and 5 minutes later, my template was modified to show the cloud in all it’s glory.
Now onto the task of revamping my blogroll and adding the Flickr zeitgeist….
The Open Font Library logo contest closes tonight. I’ve made a dozen entries (although a few are just reworks and revisions of others). There’s 5 days of judging and then a decision. It was fun coming up with ideas and I learned a good chunk more about Inkscape along the way which is good.
In a […]
My 7th Inkscape screencast is up. This time I used inkscape to produce the “Funkified Text” [ patent pending ] you see above.
Like all the others, I had a fun time doing it. I hope somebody, somewhere finds it useful.
