Woohoo, it hath arrived! I’m very much looking forward to installing it tonight and giving it a go. The new features look very interesting, I’m curious how much use I’ll have for versioning but it’s good that it’s there either way for when building more CMS-like web apps. The new ‘Press this’ also makes it a lot easier to post about something you’re reading on the web.

Very relaxing, and productive at the same time. Got some important things done, and had time for some quality R & R.
Now bring on WordPress 2.6 which is due to be released tomorrow and which promises a load of gallery improvements, so I can finally start uploading all of my pictures. And by god there are many.
Still have figure out how I’m going to organize them all, with a quality camera and a 4GB card in it it’s so tempting to just click away. To indicate how trigger happy I am, I have about 450 piccies just from Katelynd’s birthday alone. Mind you Mondo Verde was a sight, so we just had to. :)

GIMP is an amazing image editing software that allows people with limitless imagination create extraordinary images out of ordinary photos.

I’m all for Open Source programs, and use a lot of them for just about every aspect of my computing experience, whether that’s professional or in my spare time for my hobbies, but come on… if these are the best 25 pictures Gimp can come up with I’m going to stick with Photoshop…

Now this sucks, I was really looking forward to Faderhead’s third cd, but it most likely will never be released.
And why? Because with his 2 first releases, the absolutely brilliant in your face FH1 and bass pumping FH2 the man has earned a grand total of -10000 euros.
Now don’t get me wrong, everyone checks out mp3’s and stuff, and I don’t care if you copy from the big labels, but here’s a good guy making some fucking awesome music and he’s actually losing money doing so.
So if you’ve got it and like it: buy it!
And if you’ve never heard of him, check out the full FH2 on his site or go to his MySpace profile, he’s one of my absolute faves. Oh, and they’re also available in the iTunes store, if you go there check out Vanish from FH1, one of my fave tracks of all time.
Show the guy some love, buy his music.

If you like seeing beautiful and unique photographs from all over the world, check out Pixdaus, it’s an online gallery with the most amazing photographs.
The quality of work on display is simply stunning, good for some ideas if you’re into either photoshopping or photography.

I’ll post about the technique later but I just wanted to post it because I like the result, even though it isn’t really HDRi because all the shots taken for this were done from the loose wrist and with different shutter times instead of with different EV.

Need a logo or button for your blog or site and don’t know where to begin?
You could do worse than checking out cooltext.com. It’s easy and you can come up with something quite nice. Looks like it’s powered by Gimp, if you rather have a standalone program. It’s free.
