Notepad replacements (Jan 28 2005 21:40 GMT) - I've spent alot of the past few days tweaking little details in nmake files (used for post build events). I quickly grew tired of the builitin Notepad and all its limitations. A few minutes of Googling found dozens (NoteTab, UltraEdit ($), NotePad2, NotePad++). |

Screen Recorders (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - I've just come across vnc2swf, a screen recorder for *nix X-Window (X11) and Mac OS X. vnc2swf is a neat little application that records a "video" of screen activity and converts it to a Macromedia Flash movie. Unfortunately the software ... |

Can you be creative and love? (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - One of the highlights of attending SXSW 2004 was going to a very entertaining blogging panel. Amongst the panellists was a very funny Justin Hall, who struck me as being a unique blend of someone who could be entertaining, funny, *and* knowledgable at the same time. In other words, someone I could aspire to liking, if I had heard of him before that day. Then amongst the morass of weblinks that get thrown at everyone all the time, I forgot to check out his website. (This is before I discovered Bloglines and the point of RSS feeds - to help you catch up on your web reading! |

Multi-lingual pop songs (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - On the Chris Moyles radio show this morning, the "gang" riffed on that classic early-90s two-albums-wonder Martika, and played a Japanese version of Love ... Thy Will Be Done. And howled at Martika singing Japanese lyrics with an English chorus, as if this was typical of the oddity of Japan. Except ... I'm pretty much certain that outside of English-speaking countries, an awful lot of the native pop does incorporate English and other multiple languages into songs. |

Oh for heavens' sake... (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - Oh for heavens' sake. BBC NEWS | Blogging 'a paedophile's dream' says a forensic psychologist adviser to the Scottish parliament. What next? Banning pens and paper on the grounds that if children write things, it might find its way over to that nasty child catcher? How on earth did paedophiles become such a bogeyman in today's society? |

End of the world ... time for a music video (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - It's the end of the world ... so it's time for Snow Patrol to do the video to that rather fabby song, Chocolate. They say it's all about madness, but I beg to differ. Certainly, it's much better than Ultravox's video on the same theme, with the added poignancy of some 9/11-esque imagery. Also pays "homage" (ie it rips off) to Don McKellar's great film Last Night. |

That Tsunami relief concert... (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - Since I spent 14 hours yesterday mostly monitoring/watching the Tsunami Relief Concert to provide on-demand broadband video clips (with my colleagues of course), I thought I might as well give my knee-jerk reactions of the artistes involved. Although of course I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE INSTEAD, if it wasn't for my cursed multi-skilling abilities. Rant to come. Katharine Jenkins - nice voice, but the songs seemed a bit too bland and were too anthemic at this early stage in the proceedings. Of course, at one point I shouted across the office: |

A 14-hour work day... (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - Well, it was a 14-hour workday producing on-demand broadband video clips from the Tsunami Relief Concert - and aside from the fact I've still got a glowing wristband on that would have allowed me backstage access throughout the entire gig and I had to babysit a video encoder instead - it was good fulfilling fun. Pumping out 8 hours of video content, checking it for swearing gives one a huge sense of achievement. Although not being able to spot when Badly Drawn Boy repeats a song twice is not one of my music appreciation highlights. |

Tsunami concert goers start arriving (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - tsunami concert goers start arriving Originally uploaded by badlydubbedboy. Like ants to a sugar cube on a picnic. And just when it gets interesting, and the music starts pumping out the stadium speakers, I have to go to the office to pump out 8 hours of broadband-quality on-demand video. Which will be fun, but not as fun as working backstage. |

How do you stop being a student? (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - My sister popped round briefly in the post-Christmas haze of festivities. Having spent a couple of days in her suburban house stuffed full of toys, cute crabs, pillows and other girly things, I thought it was a bit rich of her to turn around in my penthouse suite overlooking the river and announce imperiously: "You're still living like a student!" I'm still not sure by which she reached this statement - probably because I still live with flatmates, rent the flat and don't own my own house. (Although of course, I do - it's just not the one I live in). |

First Welsh podcast? (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - Damn, Suw beat me to the first Welsh-language podcast. I think. I'm just thankful that this achievement in the Welsh language was not achieved by a remote geek somewhere in Welshpool extolling the virtues of php over perl. Although I guess for added obscurity, said podcast should have been done in a North walian accent. Now I'm waiting for complaints from ardent Welsh nationalist fascists that Suw not actually being Welsh, it doesn't count... |

The last time I trust iTunes (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - Not knowing who every single band is on the setlist at Cardiff's forthcoming Tsunami Relief benefit concert, I thought I'd better try and update myself as to what the cool kids of today are listening to. And iTunes has a handy sample of all music bands in the UK. Or so I thought. A search on Embrace or Feeder on iTunes UK comes up with lots of bands, but none of them being the actual Embrace or Feeder. At least, as far as I know. |

That Call on Me video - not Eurotrash... (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - There was always something about the "seminal" Call on Me: Eric Prydz music video that seemed distinctly Eurotrash/Europop about it. The complete disassociation from anything else, the lack of outdoor shots, the Euro-friendly look of the dancers. It just looked like something that was shot by the geniuses behind the Menthos adverts, or Cillit-Bang, for that matter... However, it turns out that the only thing European about it was Mr. |

What does it take to impress people? ;) (Jan 28 2005 21:39 GMT) - One of the reasons I ended up working in what I do is because in my adolescent trapped-in-rural-Wales-mindset I could airily say something like "Yeah, I'm filming some backstage stuff this weekend" and those around me could coo, swoon and generally offer me lots of hugs and kisses and fantastic sex. Or maybe not. Lately, bizarrely, work has been fantastic. I've been kept busy doing relatively interesting stuff for a change, and I've had to exercise video editing skills I haven't really had to use since 1995. So I'm a bit rusty, but as a SoCal girl would say, it's all good. |

OFFICE SPEWS I dont know ... (Jan 28 2005 21:38 GMT) - OFFICE SPEWS I dont know how this got here or where it came from but heres a hefty Sneak Peek at the American remake of the much- lauded British series The Office. If you never saw the Brit one, I suppose this could conceivably be oddly amusing with the right drugs. I was a big fan of the show on BBC. |

Racisme et lutte de classe (Jan 28 2005 21:38 GMT) - L'oppression raciale est sans aucun doute l'une des caractéristiques inhérentes du monde capitaliste moderne. Elle se manifeste de façon plus visible par des agressions de groupes fascistes contre les immigrant-e-s. Mais plus encore, les communautés immigrantes sont victimes de la discrimination systémique de la part des États capitalistes. Discriminations qui se traduisent par des attaques contre les droits des immigrants, des coupures dans les programmes sociaux, par des attaques policières et un système de justice raciste. |

Haiti lies (Jan 28 2005 21:38 GMT) - did Jimenez look into the veracity of Paul Martin's claim that there are no political prisoners in Haiti? Did she discuss why Canada has released aid - and demanded other governments do likewise - to a regime with absolutely no democratic legitimacy?Did Jimenez focus on Canada's connection, as head of the United Nations police force, to the increasingly murderous Haitian police, who target poor youth and even journalists who witness their misdeeds? |
