I love comedy. I love wit. I love being a geek. So what happens when you combine all these? You get the competition from cracked.com to Photoshop the best powerup into real a real-life situation. Some people (I hope) didn’t spend much time on the Photoshopping but some didn’t need much. The favourite of mine [...]

So who broke Facebook? Come on, own up. I’ve noticed recently that Facebook is having a whole bunch of problems that are quite serious isues with regard to users. These include: Photo tag requests are not displayed correctly – when you click to view the tag request it appears people have tagged the search button, [...]

I recently purchased a Hercules DJ Console RMX which is a midi mapped laptop DJ mixer. Yeah… that sounds about right. Anyway it hooks up to my laptop and uses special software controlled by the physical console to mix mp3s like a proper DJ would do. I had been playing with the software for a [...]

I have been playing around in illustrator for about an hour watching the final of The Apprentice, this is the result. I was trying to create something simple and not really sure what the outcome was going to be. I’m pleased with the result so I thought I’d post it up for all to see.

The setup for Rave On Air should have been very smooth today as the RC1 was prepared so all we had to do was boot up a computer, install the plugins and away… right? How wrong that is. After many problems with Macs, PC’s, connectors and lack of microphone input on G4s I finally booted [...]

Needed to do today: Need to ‘bang’ through a single number without it constantly updating. Send messages from Flash to Max. Playback from collisions in Flash. To start with the Beta that had been the focus of our efforts had ‘broken’ as certain tweaking had meant that a few files had been edited for the [...]

I have finally solved the problem of the ‘bang’ going off continuously in the MaxMSP window (and consequentially making everything else after it go off continuously) by asking for help. I posted a question on the Cycling 74 forum in the hope that somebody may have had a similar problem or someone might share their [...]
