Colour My World

Nilova MonasteryI don’t recall if I’ve posted this before but I’m sure that someone will call my ass out if I have. In a nutshell: Colour photographs from the World War One era. Check it out.

Baby Baby Please. Baby Understand.

Happy-BabyDamn! I suppose if I had the extra cash sticking around I’d hire a plane to fly a banner that said how awesome I am.

Movie Night

Public Domain MidDo you remember that totally wicked scene from “The Wild Women of Wongo”? Nope? Don’t worry. Neither do I. But if we both watch it together then we can have some sort of intelligent discourse afterwards. Check out other movies that have fallen into the public domain here.

Skype Video Mac OS X

Mac Vp ShotSkype has recently released the 1.5 version for Mac OS X with video chat. Skype audio quality is excellent however when trying out the video chat with a friend I found it to cut in and out. And this is with Skype being the sole application running on my fairly new machine.

I had actually planned on recording a podcast tonight as I had the rare opportunity of having several friends on Skype at the same time but I wasn’t able to sort out the software side of things. Afterwards, I did manage to find an excellent tutorial on how to record using Audio Hijack. It’s worth checking out. If anyone is interested in being featured in the next podcast, let me know.

Developing Things

DevelopertoolsnstuffMac Life has an article on the best developer tool for Mac OS X. Of all those the one I only really used lately is the totally awesome Eclipse. Mostly because it’s extensible out the ass. I hear the as far as text editors are concerned that TextMate is the shit.
