  1. Cloud Based Graphic and Audio editting just became a Free reality

    by on 04-03-2010 at 15:10 (stuff)
    Well, two weeks ago actually - I just forgot to tell you as I've been busy using them

    The tool is Aviary, and here's the website.

    http://aviary.com/


    It's an amazingly useful service. From quick screen grabs, to annotating, to photo editing or logo creation.
    The image editting tool is amazingly good - layers, support for alpha layers, erm, - i find it better than gimp just because it's so simple.
    Give it a try. Make sure you use it in ...
  2. A Ripple from the Wave : Google Buzz thoughts

    by on 27-02-2010 at 14:36 (stuff)
    I wrote a blog post this morning on Buzz - rather than on my blog I figure more people will read it that way. Shamelessly linking it in my blog here as I'd love it if more of you would see the potential and engaging qualities of Buzz, and join me there.

  3. JooJoo 12'' touch pad set to put up a fight.

    by on 26-02-2010 at 02:35 (stuff)
    Hadn't heard of this till today - at $499 it seems a good price. Looking forward to hearing some reviews when it hits the shelves in the US - it's been delayed a few more weeks. It runs on a proprietary operating system - although I suspect that will be a hacked version of linux - we'll have to see. It would be bold of them to release a new device and a totally new build OS at the same time.

  7. My past.

    by on 14-02-2010 at 11:38
    Plenty has occurred since the end of exams (which I hope went ok...I only need 50% for this year...), but first I think it necessary for some back-story of your beloved author.

    My name is Matt. Matt currently has no idea what to type. Does he talk about the previous 22 years of his life at length, or just gloss over most of it and focus on the most recent years, those that are fresh in the mind like a...lettuce leaf? My poetical juices ran out there, sorry.
    Does he recall the ...

  8. Kill Dashboard App - for OSX. Neatly disables this total waste of Ram.

    by on 14-02-2010 at 01:09 (stuff)
    A friend of mine posted a really interesting comment on Buzz today - well, interesting for us mac users.
    It was that his dashboard was eating ram and he had made an app to disable it. The Mac Dashboard is a collection of widgets that interact with the web, mini web apps - or, from my perspective, Windows Live Desktop - something I have also always hated with a passion. - so weather, search, feeds, etc).

    A few links were posted to other, fiddly solutions involving hacking the ...

  10. Netbook running OSX - now that DOES appeal to me!!!

    by on 12-02-2010 at 02:50 (stuff)
    Whilst I like to think us enlightenned souls on Playstuff embrace all tech and all operating systems, for their various benefits, it hasn't escaped me that access and therefore experience, of OSX, is limited here. We're all gamers after all - and gaming mainstream is windows based and heavily reliant on an OSX incompatible codebase - DirectX.

    I think it's a reasonable position to state a demand that if we pay for an operating system, we should be able to do with it what we like. One ...
