You gotte get Picoli if youve got an iPhone. It can do wonders to you iPhone’s camera photos. Check this amazing before and after (if they are in the wrong order, hopefully the before is obvious cox it’s blurry and discolored)

Your ever seen this error “the iphone cannot be synced unknown error occurred -50″ on your iPhone?
Maybe by now you’ve fixed, but if you’re googling for the answer, the problem is you’ve synced your iPhoto using one particular library, but then changed libraries the last time you used iPhoto. Hence the sync is getting upset […]

Well, it finally happened, I got an iPhone. So far great.
Only disappointment is it can’t be used as a USB drive.
Bought it outright from Telstra despite saying I never would buy from them. But discovered I could keep my one cent SMS plan.
Their data rates are plain theivery, but I will have bare minimum need […]

It’s funny how life unfolds. Last week I got asked to redesign and redevelop one of the local school’s websites. This could have a flow on effect, with other schools possibly being interested if I do a good job.
This has all happened with me even looking. Life just unfolded for me.
And somehow, somewhere, I’ve got […]

Saw this great quote in an interview (of sorts) with the former Australian Test cricket bowler Merv Hughes:

The harder you work through the easy times, the easier it becomes through the hard times. If you work hard at your basic training, the easier it is during the game situation.

That of course applies to any walk […]

Can anyone declare a work to be art? Short answer of course is yes. However most people agree there’s a line between what can be rightfully called art and what really is crap. But who gets to decide where that line is. Personally, I draw that line such that a lot more of what is […]

I wrote a reply to a piece on David Alison’s blog that I’d like to share the gist of. David was discussing how some people are resistant to technology.
This reminds me of 20 years ago when I was working for the police and we introduced computers to police stations. We made it optional to use them. So […]

Just repeating what I wrote on The Google Cache about Adobe Flash and using it to make websites:
I used to hate Flash-based websites. Hmmm? Actually, I still do. I’d never seen a Flash-based site that made me want to make one. Instead, they all turned me off Flash. They all seem to be about showing […]

I’m really enjoying the IPL Twenty20 cricket in India at the moment. But I have a gnawing feeling of something missing.
Test cricket, the longer form of the game, and the pre-eminent form, allows the game to develop over days. It builds and enthralls.
Too much Twenty20 is like having dessert only at every meal. It sounds […]

A bit of a learning experience today.
As graphic design students, we submitted designs for a logo for a local organization. However, they didn’t really know what they were looking for, so needed us to lead, which we didn’t. So a fairly broad and open brief.
They’ve narrowed it down to three, but again, not knowing what […]
