    What do you do to make yourself feel better when you feel like utter ****?

    To cheer myself up I just think about how much better off I am after bailing on that type of relationship. Life is way too short to waste your time living with a lunatic.

    Person of Interest - New JJ Abrams/Jonathan Nolan TV Series

    I've been watching at the US pace and its not too bad. It would probably do better without Jim Caviezel to be honest, as his habit of only talking in whispers and having less facial expression than a terminal botox addict takes a bit of getting used to.

    US: The After - New show from Chris Carter (You know the guy from X-files)

    I thought it reached the dizzy heights of mediocre, and it looks worrying like post-rapture tosh - probably the lamest genre ever.

    What book are you reading...

    The Strain by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. A hack job from Chuck Hogan based on a couple of vague ideas from Guillermo - no doubt he'd scribbled them on the back of a fag packet before using them all in Blade 2. Terrifyingly bland. You want breakfast NOW? - A Mongol Rally Experience by...

    which PS3 pease

    The superslim does feel a bit flimsy and the blu-ray drive can be noisy as hell, especially on GTA V. The Sony warranty sheet that came with mine offers 1 year replace with new, then an additional 2 years swap for recon / repair. Only get the 12gb if you have a spare 2.5" hdd kicking about...

    I'm inclined to agree to a large extent - as I stated I'd not recommend them for commercial sites, but I do find them convenient to try out different CMS etc without faffing about on manual installs. When I finish sites I package them and re-deploy to whatever ISP the client prefers. I have...

    What is the most suitable CMS for my project.

    Couldn't you just use getResources/getPage and filter result by tags?

    I'm converting a static site to Modx for the boss. I chose Modx over Wordpress as need to keep the look and feel - much easier to do with the templating features in Modx. Original site is at http://www.conortravel.com, the WIP is at http://modx.artworkacademy.com The WIP site still needs...

    What book are you reading...

    I've just finished a couple of books. First was The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, which is an improvement over the Mistborn books. I didn't realise that Elantris, Warbreaker, Mistborn and The Stormlight saga are all part of a 36 volume Cosmere series set in a shared universe, similar to...

    Anyone going to Adobe Cloud?

    I'm on it. I didn't have much option really as one of my biggest clients has it, and wanted to use the collaborative tools on future projects. I also like the ability to allow people to view proofs from the original files without an option to download the finished artwork. As a freelancer...

    Photoshop and Creative Suite to be permanently subscription based

    If you don't need the very latest version you could just download the entire CS2 suite off the Adobe site. The CS2 activations servers have been disabled and the full products with serial numbers can be downloaded from here.

    Help with Panasonic TV

    The Google-Fu is weak with this one! Try looking for the Viera TX-L50DT65B instead.

    Inclination of possible car theft...

    My neighbours kid plays basketball by himself (bit of a billy-no-mates) for about 3 hours every single day. All I can hear is a barely audible thud-thud-thud as he ponces around on the pavement in front of our house. If I stare through their front window whilst they're watching TV, it is...

    Persuading the boss to upgrade Mac hardware / software

    Not so subtle hints about job offers and teaming up with the production manager seem to have done the trick. He's agreed to upgrade the Mac and the software, currently just waiting for some info from Screen International regarding migrating the Trueflow client license to the Intel version.

    Persuading the boss to upgrade Mac hardware / software

    I'm currently working in a pre-press role with a rather elderly Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 with 3GB DDR SDRAM (and a 19" CRT monitor) running OSX 10.4.11, using CS3 Design Premium and QuarkXpress 7.5. The chap that owns the company isn't from a print background and needs some convincing to...
