Photoshop CS4 Has Sliders… Lots of Sliders…

By Malcolm Owen | Nov 9, 2009

You would expect from a high-priced product with a vast user base to get things right. Sadly, it appears Photoshop CS 4 has issues.
For reasons known only to Adobe, Photoshop has lots of different types of sliders. A good selection of those are documented here, along with a few other gripes over the software from [...]

Free Music in Vast Quantities is Hard to Comprehend. Help?

By Malcolm Owen | Oct 13, 2007

You know, it’s a really quite strange thing to have problems with. As you know, thanks to that Coca Cola contest, I have become the owner of a brand new 80GB video iPod (well, technically 2, but I sold the second one for a hefty sum of notes). And as part and parcel to the [...]

Using Up Song Credits on iTunes – Downloading Music is Good

By Malcolm Owen | Jul 15, 2007

So, thanks to that Coke/iTunes contest, winning an iPod and then going nuts helping other people get iPods too, I’ve managed to amass a large amount of free song credits. 273 to be exact.

Blogging with ecto

By Malcolm Owen | Jun 18, 2007

So. You’re writing away on the perfect blog post in your friendly neighborhood browser window, and suddenly the internet connection dies on you just before you hit submit. You get the Page Can’t Be Displayed error, and so you quickly hit the Back icon to revive your work. Sadly, in quite a few cases, it [...]

VirtueDesktops + Macbook = Smackbook

By Malcolm Owen | May 28, 2007

Ladies and Gentlemen, we now have a productive excuse to hit our computers. The Macbook has a weird motion sensor inside it, supposedly for detecting a fall and bracing the moving parts for impact. VirtueDesktops uses and abuses this feature, allowing you to change the virtual desktop you’re using without having to select some tiny [...]
