10:09 am - For the title...
|
While re-subscribing to Crikey last week in a moment of weakness, I was amused by the specificity of their sign-up form.
And then I was disappointed - I'm neither a doctor, honourable, a lady, a professor, a reverend, a senator or a sir. Just a mister.

4:41 pm - Facebook v Myspace, Beckham v Cruyff
|
Okay, so this is just a random post of crap that I've accumulated at work.
Firstly, of no consequence surely, last week my number of Facebook friends overtook my number of Myspace friends. This is significant because I've been on Myspace about a year longer. And here we all were thinking that Myspace, despite its numerous flaws, was unbeatable. Remember the giggles we gave whenever anyone talked about websites that would be a "Myspace killer"?.
One of the reasons we hated Myspace, of course, was the lack of an API. "Imagine how cool it would be if we could harness the power of social networking to create our own wacky applications," we thought. And then Facebook comes along and, voila...
Let me know if any of these are worthwhile. I'm quite happy to keep collecting the invites, I just can't imagine the apps will add much to my already strained-for-time enjoyment of teh web.
And on a COMPLETELY unrelated note, do you think David Beckham is trying to be Johan Cruyff? Not only was there the move to Spain, but now to LA. He even took the Galaxy's green/gold strip (very 1992 Olyroos)...
...and changed the colours to blue and gold, just like Cruyff's 1979 Aztecs. He even had a say in designing the strip, and the similarities are undeniable (forgetting Johan's orange socks):
Personally, I think it's great. The MLS don't celebrate the NASL's heritage enough.
And I think that'll do it.
current mood:  fine

12:31 pm - File management and photo trivia
|
So, last night before leaving the office, I was working on two documents in Photoshop.
One was a draft wireframe/mockup for a site I'm working on. It was in a really preliminary stage and I'd been staring at it for a few hours wondering how to make it sing.
The other was the photos sheet for trivia last night at the pub (photo trivia is a good way to avoid thinking of another question when you're running out of time).
Late for trivia, I had to make a quick exit so saved everything I needed to save (like the mockup), and discarded stupid things like the photo trivia (which was printed and ready to go).
I was obviously in too much of a hurry, as discovered this morning when I went to get back to work on that wireframe...

|
okay, and now i need your advice.
dinosaur jr's "you're living all over me", one of my favourite guitar records EVER, is available again on coloured vinyl.
 SO, which colour should i get? the choice is yellow, purple, blue or plain old black.
the sleeve was a yellow, purpley, black creation. so i think blue is out. what do you all think?
and votes for purple from goths only count as half a vote :)

B.O'b. : "Talking away, I don't know what I'm to say I'll say it anyway, today's another day to find you. Shying away. I'll be coming for you love O.K."
B.W.: "Hello, you fool, I love you. C'mon join the joyride."
