Finally getting round to having a look at Google SketchUp, which by now has a super smooth new logo and is now part of Trimble Buildings. Ever since we moved into this flat in South Wimbledon, I’ve wanted to knock out the wall between the dining room and kitchen – I believe one could make the kitchen bigger and extend… Read more →
No, I’m not kidding. Adobe is no longer able to (or that bothered with being able to) afford its activation server for the older version of its Creative Suite software, CS2. In simpler terms, it means that the company is making the full suite of programmes available for download and use without having to pay. You can download the full… Read more →
There is little better than finally completing a (very) long term project, and I could not have wished for a better partner in production. I decided weeks ago that I was going to take off the whole week of my mom’s visit, and I decided almost at the same time to use that time to clear some creative projects off… Read more →

Unfortunately, not all video looks great, and you often end up sitting through… Read more →

I’ve just recently copied a home DVD for my father-in-law, and because there were some initial struggles, I thought it a good idea to write about how to do this in the simplest way possible. Now I must admit, Apple really makes this very easy – I used a Mac and got the job done in under 15 minutes, with… Read more →

Apart from buying actual discs at music stores, the best use for the CD is as a digital mix tape, to give to someone as a personalised gift. Other uses that haven’t… Read more →
In the back of my mind, I have always wanted to be a blogger. Maybe we all do, on some level. Anyway, here I am, with my first guest blog post! Ever! And considering that what I feel now is a little scared about what to say, I’ve decided to write about blogging. Read more →
