Lazy Sunday
What better to do on a sunday than catch up with all the video cast, pod cast you have missed, then have a search round youtube to see what you can find just found this Im sure if you have been using the internet for a while, you will recognize most of the reference being made in this video. I saw this video a while ago (so not sure how old it is) but chose not to watch it as im not a fan...
viral video
viral video (and video in general) is something i am becoming more and more interested in exploring anyway check out this cool video i just discovered Facebook Gangsta from Facebook Gangsta on Vimeo.
I have a vague idea of what's happening
it would seem there is a short delay between saving a tumblr theme and it attually updating this means if you do add a new theme give it 5minutes before you test it otherwise your going to think it is not working, this is probably why i removed the nostalgia theme i think everything is almost back to normal in future edits of this blog i will give editing the css a try as after playing with the...
Im confused !
Tumblr is confusing the bejesus out of me it seems it won’t behave, or has some sort of lag when editing the layout, The back ground has gone a black now (but i want it back to the default cross hatching - it just wont go back) Although the banner at the top is now working I this would be a perfect theme if i could get the cross hatching back and also impliment a second coloumn oh the right...
It's decided
well it seems the Nostalgia Theme only allows for one post at a time to be displayed I dont like it, it means if i am posting more than one blog a day you have to check my archives and lets face it no one will do that back to the old theme i go, keeping my fingers crossed that all old posts and comments are going to return
Tumblr Customization Decisions
For a while i have wanted to upgrade my tumble blog to give it a bit of charecter, I want it to have the same kind of branding i have on other web space i use such as this header For (possibly) a limited period of time i am trying out a them called Nostalgia (see more here http://nostalgiatheme.tumblr.com/post/35247881/nostalgia-1-0 ) Im not 100% sure i like this theme i feel a little...
Yet another online converter
While writing up a blog post for My Blogger Account i needed to display some HTML code It was not possible for me to just copy and paste the code into the post as the web browser renders it rather than showing it as text. After a small search on google a found to make this Link 4 into this <a href=”http://www.google.com/”><span style=”color:lime;”>Link 4 ...
I just signed up with technorati.
By signing up with technorati they claim to be able to increase my blogs visibility, sounds a bit wordy and disambiguous to me but im willing to give it ago This post has some special text in it that allows technorati’s “spiders” to index my blog Technorati Profile I wonder if this will lead to more visits on my blog? Only time will tell.
Top Tip
Want to remove a load of hyperlinks from a block of text while using MS Word on OS X >select the area of text u wanna remove the hyperlinks from >hit FN, CMD(apple), Shift and F9 >voila all hyperlinks gone This is an amazing time saver much faster then going through and removing each hyperlink individually as I have done in the past

Video In Flash
Just thought this was worth noting down, while adding some video to my Aesop’s Fable peice, when testing it i found it was auto playing something i didn’t want it to do To remedy this after a quick google search i found the answer was; Click the parameters tab on the properties bar. Look for an option there called autoplay which needs to be set to false After re-testing by choosing...
OMG!
If you have ever used a Mac or are involved in digital media, i imagine you will appreciate this video quite alot. The planning and choreography must have been so detailed and precise it must actually be insane !!!! Also the creative talent to dream something up like this and then plan and execute it astonishes me no end ! The song is by The Bird and the Bee After doing a little bit...

I hope this will allow for me to publish more content as often I have thoughts of...
