Next Entries »CMYK is not Evil
Sunday, July 23rd, 2006When taking your piece of digital design to the printed world, there is this nasty, some would say: evil, thing called CMYK. Dynamic Graphics magazine has a five-point article on how to survive in a CMYK world. http://www.dynamicgraphics.com/dgm/Article/28597
Excellent read, and even better: tag/bookmark it for later.
Some notes of my own, based on 8 years of [...]
A Half-Day with Microsoft WPF and a Rainbow
Friday, July 21st, 2006As the bus travelled over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, we trundled through a rainbow to the pot-of-gold called Sydney Financial District: The CBD. Still looking for the leprechauns.
Microsoft WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), a key part of Microsoft .Net 3.0 presents a mechanism for building interfaces in XAML, and code against this in a CLR [...]
Nick Hodge in Meego
Friday, July 21st, 2006Nick Hodge as rendered by Meego, a service I don't quite get - but it is all the rage with the Tech.Ed AU crowd... and for some strange reason, it doesn't like Firefox on my Mac. Booted up Parallels, ran WindowsXP and used the command-shift-4 to get MacOS X TO capture this off the WindowsXP [...]
Our Brain Wiring is Evolving
Wednesday, July 19th, 2006Talking to the great Michael Stoddart (Stod) around the proverbial water cooler, he stated that under-25's don't learn the same way as us Generation-X and cusp-Baby Boomers.
Rather than learn by rote the ins-and-outs of a "new thing", the Generation-Y's remember the tags and "where to access" the information - knowing that if they ever need [...]

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006GooglePark, in the style of South Park; Scoble. OK, you have to be a Web2.0 watcher to get some of it... trust me, it's funny.

Insipid word of the day “outcome”
Monday, July 10th, 2006Management speak is Newspeak. Closely related to Sport-psychology speak, it mangles this rich tapestry we call the English language into a flat, plastic tasteless cracker.
Today's bad word is outcome.

Mungenet Blogging Platform version 5.0
Saturday, July 8th, 2006The blogging platform history of Mungenet:
Version 1.0: self-coded Userland Frontier, version 2.0: Radio Userland, version 3.0: blogger.com, version 4.0: (self coded) mungenetengine.
Today, I've moved onto platform version 5.0: WordPress
Rather than re-coding a blogging engine to take into account all the Web 2.0 re/write hotness - moving to WordPress was a part-time project over the space [...]
