More Catgut

Posted February 22, 2006 0 Comments

Owen as ‘Catgut‘ had another spin on the radio tonight. My radio just died, so I’ll catch it later. Stream it here anyway, pretty exciting?

UPDATE: I’ve put together a quick frontpage for Owen’s Catgut Music. You can stream some tracks there - or buy the EP! Catgut Music.com

Here’s where you can download some funky Gorillaz tunes, the way Quincy can’t: here.

HE’S ALIVE

Its Chris Morris! He’s still on TV. Just when I had given up all hope… aww gawd, I love that man.

When Chris Morris shows up it usually means Channel 4’s pandering to the lowest-common-denominator, mindless-wasteland-series 1 through 8 plus repeats and a couple of Christmas specials- shakey-cam, spy-cam, advantage-taking, celebrity-smuttery, pseudo-pornography, bullshit is on the out… for at least a month or so until that spate of Morris / Morris-inspired mentalism is over.

So, Morris was on a programme called “The IT Crowd”. Its good, not great - but worth your while.

Just time to have a quick look at tomorrow’s headlines.

“Aristocrat’s dung saves village from flood”, that’s in the Mail, Today - “Drowned Italian wins Eurovision”, the Express go with “Lord Mayor’s pirhouette in fire chief wife decapitation”, grisly but gripping… The Sun, “Robin Cock”.

The Daily Star, “Feel my nose and put my specs there roars drunken Major”.

That’s it, that’s The Day Today on the day that Boris Yeltsin told the world how he milked Mrs Thatcher.

Oh, and no way: The Day Today Scripts.

Photoshop’s Scripting Addition ‘a Missin’

Posted February 16, 2006 0 Comments

I just did a clean install of Tiger on my iBook. On the Mac to copy (i mean move) an Application from old hard disk to new is a fairly simple process; drag & drop. Not with Photoshop CS (1):

The problem: Photoshop CS on OS X won’t open files on double click. Nor can I drag images on to Photoshop to open them. A double click on a .psd file will result in Photoshop launching - but no image.

The Solution: Photoshop CS require a ‘Scripting Addition’, what the hell is that? Who cares, here it is, download this wee file and throw it in your /Library/ScriptingAdditions/ folder… if one doesn’t exsist create it. Thanks to Inman.

Meta Commenting (2.2)

Posted February 11, 2006 0 Comments

I almost forgot about my ‘Portfolio’ pages, they’re in a sad state and could be worth upgrading for the archive’s sake. After what happened with my Old School Photos (I ‘lost’ the originals and only have tiny little compressed versions to show for 2002/3) I’ll have to do it right this time, whatever that means. I did find this, its my homepage through the ages - made me laugh. I’m only typing this so I can take a screenshot and add “Meta Comment 2.2″ to the list.
