Brian Edgin of Phireworx has released a nifty little new extension for Fireworks MX.
‘Super Nudge’ allows you to ‘nudge’ selections by any amount including sub pixel amounts and individual points.
On Monday I took my car to have it’s front discs and pads replaced by Humphries in Reading.
On Tuesday my car went back to have the rear pads and discs done.
On Wednesday I went back to have the rears checked since they had been making a constant squeeling noise since fitting. Apparently this was fixed by the mechanic, the noise ceased.
On Thursday I took my car to have it’s MOT at Octagon Toyota in Reading. They had to fit new rear tyres, but then my car failed the MOT because the rear nearside brakes were sticking. Add to that the fact that they managed to scratch both rear alloys in the process of fitting the tyres. Not good.
Today is Friday; I’ve just walked back from Humphries having dropped my car off to have them sort the sticking brakes.
Maybe next week will be better for my car.
There’s something catchy about the badger badger badger tune, I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s the slightly intoxicating mix of audio and visual, but I just keep coming back for more… it’s like hamster dance all over again.
Whilst listening to some of our old favourite tracks the other night Jo and I started to chat about ‘long’ songs. Un-educated on the subject we considered that perhaps Guns N’ Roses’ ‘November Rain’ was the longest track we had ever heard, clocking in at over 9 minutes.
However, a quick search through our music folder revealed much longer tracks from artists such as Orbital and Spiritualized. ‘Cop shoot cop…’ is the last track on the Spiritualized album ‘Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space’ and is an impressive 16 minutes.
What is the longest ‘non-classical’ song?
I’ve always wanted an iPod, but have never been able to bring myself to spend that much on a luxury item. Here at Mirashade, my boss man Baz McCarthy has one, as does Drew. They’re very nice things, all white and shiny like. I think the appeal for me is linked to listening to music in my car, to have all my music at my fingertips without the associated multitude of CD cases rattling around would be great.
Well yesterday Apple announced the iPod mini, just like the iPod, only mini like! Now, the confusion for me is this. The base level iPod can store 10,000 songs are costs $299, yet the iPod mini stores only 1,000 songs, and costs $249. Can anyone here do math?
