Loving this MacBook Pro
Monday, May 29th, 2006Still the first week (honeymoon period?) with my new MacBook Pro. It has to be the fastest Mac I've owned. Usually, the laptops Apple made have been dissappointing in the performance department.

QuarkXpress 7. Disappointing.
Thursday, May 25th, 2006According to MacWorld in the US, QuarkXpress 7.0 sucks. Just like Mission Impossible 3, it hasn't been worth the wait.
Unfortunately, XPress 7 does not represent a significant leap forward.

URLs have Changed
Friday, May 12th, 2006Thanks to an email from Ola, and some research; I've taken the liberty to change the URL format on www.nickhodge.com. Using a posting on Modrewrite Forums: Complicated .htaccess, it was a simple matter and 15 lines of Modrewrite for Apache, we're off!

Soduko for InDesign
Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006Rorohiko in Wellington have released a new plugin for InDesign: a must have for publishers. Lightning Brain Sudoku for InDesign CS/CS2. Like crosswords, I don't really "get it" - but this, the Da Vinci Code and Suri are all the rage at the moment.
