Final Cut Studio upgrade
It was quite fortuitous that the day I decided I would order an upgrade for my creaky old antiquated version 1 of Final Cut Studio was the very day Apple updated the software to the new version 3. It only took 4+ hours to install! Which was not quite as long as the 17 hours it was predicting.
So now I have a whole lot of new toys to play with and distract myself from actually finishing any of the numerous projects I have on the go 😉
Fun time with RevWeb
Runtime Revolution is about to hit version 4 which includes a plugin to enable software created with it to be run in your web browser. Get the plug in and install it!
Here is a little guess the number test game I made awhile ago but not specifically for the web. It seems to mostly work 🙂
[Update: Does not seem to like FireFox 3.5.1 on my Mac. Works with Safari, Opera and Stainless browsers]
There is a new version of the Revolution software called revMedia with which you can create your own stuff. You will need to sign up to get the Alpha Testing version. It is FREE. It is FUN.
This could turn into an all nighter 😉
Dear BT
Dear BT,
Our recent exchanges dating back to 2nd of June do not seem to have got us very far so here are some pictures to help you understand just what the problem is.
I have had a paperless online account for some years now and I am quite familiar with the concept of logging in to the account but thank you for taking the time to explain it to me anyway.
Once logged in to the account I can view the section with the little pie charts….
and I can view the recent calls listing…..
but when I try to view the payments section all I have seen for several months now is….
I do hope that you can now grasp just what the problem is and find a speedy solution but, given your past performance, I shall not be holding my breath.
Yours etc.
PS In case your are unfamiliar with the concept: If you click on the above images they will enlarge slightly to enhance your viewing pleasure.
Update: FIxed 22nd. July 🙂
Mapping the past
Looking at old maps is almost as pleasurable as listening to old records so the [W:Ordnance Survey] maps from the 1940s provides much distraction. But if this is 1946 shouldn’t there be an airfield (now the [W:Fire Service College]) in the top right corner of [W:Moreton-in-Marsh]?
It is a fascinating picture of bygone age when the country was crisscrossed with railway lines and the trains from Moreton stopped at [W:Adlestrop railway station].
It is late June.
