My Software History

Written by: angietaylor, May 29th, 2009

Every now and then a piece of software comes along that changes your life. The first one for me was Cubase, I learned how to do music sequencing on an old Atari during my deejaying career in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Then there was Deluxe Paint, the first application that allowed me to [...]

Some information, you want to have as quickly as possible, other news is best heard when the timing is right.

Headlights and Disk Space: Fail.

Written by: danielbrown, May 7th, 2009

I should confess that I think failblog.org is probably the funniest thing on the internet. The theme of the site is taking a single word and making it say so much about what is probably a complex situation, whether it’s a still image, a screen shot, or a video clip. I strive for brevity (but [...]
