Inst-a-net Gratification

  Here’s a little bit of instant gratification pop over to Wordle bash in some text or an RSS feed (try :http://192.168.0.9/index.php?format=feed&type=rss) and hit create – et viola instant text based art. The cool thing about it for those of an After Effects persuasion is that you can print the file out as a PDF using one of those nifty PDF printer drivers and it will import into AE as vector based text. You can then fly a camera around […]

For Dummies…#001

Build you own Server – Hardware

WARNING: building your own web server requires a bit of effort. The rewards however are large. If the word “server” puts you into a blind panic you should perhaps skip this article. The more adventurous should read on…

Time for Reform?

Like a child with a new toy…

Oh look, I can put an isometric view of my flat in here. What ever next? And the above is an embedded video form my YouTube account… I’m sure this is hardly revolutionary if you’ve done some blogging in the last five minutes, but the last time I had a go you had to hack the “embed” code into the HTML. This was great fun when attempting it on a Chinese computer with all the dialogue in foreign speak. What […]
