New Growl Views!

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

Well, as promised, here’s the first delve into my goodie bag of material. Cumulus and Cumulonimbus, two icon sizes each (currently 48px and 64px, but I’m thinking of making the first one 32px, cos so many notifications sent to Growl have stupidly small icons). Anyway, my gripes aside, get ‘em while they’re hot.

On films

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

Quick tip to y’all - never spend more than a couple of hours in the cinema at once. It’s very confusing.
I walked out this evening, not sure if I should be swinging a lightsabre or singing, “So long, and thanks for all the fish!” - bit of a problem when you have to drive home, [...]

The Sound of Silence

Tuesday, May 24th, 2005

No new posts recently. Why? I’ve been hard at work! I’ve had some very pleasant trips around the country at the company’s expense (more about what I do some other time…). However, when your only internet connection is via the painfully slow, horrendously expensive GPRS service on your mobile phone, there are only certain priorities [...]

Grrrrr

I’ve been a bit on-again, off-again with Growl. But 0.7 is coming rapidly, and I’m very impressed, especially with Webkit styles. Now I can make it look the way I want - I even have Synergy sending Growl notifications instead of using its own floater.

teh snappy, revisited

Well, a virgin install of Tiger, and my PowerBook is flying. I wish there was a way to keep Safari this nippy, it’s as though my connection speed got doubled! (and yes, I checked, just in case… dammit.)
It looks fantastic, Spotlight races as fast as - or faster than - on the mini, and it’s [...]

My new toy

I must confess to considering posting a picture of a pretty girl here, but that would be both degrading and a total lie. So, instead:

I’ve already bought a Tempo ATA card for it and a 200GB hard drive. I shall never lose my movies and music again!

National elections here today. I hate that horrible smile even more than I did 8 years ago. The thought of putting up with him for 5 more years is enough to make anyone want to end it all right now! Not to mention even more of my money going in tax (yes, I am a [...]

*Do not eat iPod shuffle

Apple’s warning just got a little bit harder to obey. How cool is this!

Circular Logic

Thursday, May 5th, 2005

I’m just beginning to write a short help document for Adium. Whether it’ll be finished in time for Adium’s submission to the ADA is not yet clear
Anyhew, in the course of my experiments with Help Viewer, I came across this little beauty. For the terminally stupid?

Pictures, pictures everywhere

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005

I’m currently in the process of moving all of my non-WordPress images from a folder on this domain to images.phantomgorilla.com - a big job, when you count how many things link to all those pictures… I’ll be keeping copies of anything that I know has been linked off-site in situ, though.
Why am I giving myself [...]
