mailto Commands
For event registration, it is ideal to have the recipient complete their details in a form that can be properly validated and collated in a database for easy administration of the attendees to the event as well their relevant details. The forms and databases can take some time to develop but ultimately are more efficient and effective in managing the administrative nightmares associated with events via a single repository of the information. Emailed RSVPs can sometimes be lost and hard to track in inboxes but for small events the mailto command can be modified to capture information. Read the rest of this entry »
Nine Inch Nails Brilliant
To say Nine Inch Nails has helped shape me over the years would be an understatement. I was beside myself when they announced their tour dates for Australia and made sure I had tickets to see them when they played at Festival Hall. Gordon and I rocked up to the screeching banshee that was ‘Jaguar Love’. I still don’t know if the lead ’singer’ was male or female but they certainly knew how to scream their lungs out for every word of the set. I think I need an ear transplant. Sorry to any fans and the band but they were just abysmal. Needless to say the biggest cheer they received was when they announced NIN would be on soon. YAY! Read the rest of this entry »
Photoshop Colour Management Reset
Some slight frustration after having some hardware drivers installed accidentally via a Windows update. The frustration revolved around Photoshop and the colour management profile. Opening old and current projects gave the a message asking about different colour profiles to be used and I pinpointed it to the secondary monitor I plug into my laptop. However, I could not avoid this issue within Photoshop every time I opened an existing document. The image files would would have their whites look a similar shade to Richie Benaud’s wardrobe – beige, off white, bone and pink! Exporting the files for use on the web resulting in a similar headache where the white (cream) actually turned into a soft shade of blue! Read the rest of this entry »
No seat at the Aussie Millions for me
Well I am happy to say that from a field of 4155 players I finished the Aussie Millions Qualifier in 207th place. My Ac Qh falling to As 9c with the board showing A79-4-7. I was hoping that my Aces and Sevens was good enough but he held a trump card. Read the rest of this entry »
A Slab Will Do
To our suprise, we got a call from a friend who happened to be passing our block ofland in Point Cook with some exciting news. As it turns out, Simonds were quite busy either on the Friday or Saturday putting up the framework for the slab to go down for the new house. The ‘waffle pod’ slab uses rio and foam blocks to establish the foundations the house will be built on. It is quite an interesting way to do it. Needless to say, we are very excited about this stage as the new house is ‘really’ starting to come together. Looking forward now to actually seeing the slab poured and set so the building frame can be put up!
