Someone shot me!

Thanks to Carrie for shooting me on the set yesterday.
I don’t get many of myself.
Who’s gettin’ old?

Safari, at last a proper browser for Windows.

Posted on 12. Jun, 2007 by Philip in Apple, Software, Web design

Apple today released Safari 3 for both Mac and Windows.
The first thing that struck me was Safaris’ ability to render text properly, at least a hell of a lot better than IE or Firefox.
The big difference however is speed.
Safari is twice as fast as IE and certainly faster than Firefox.
Get Safari 3 now and see what the web is supposed to look like… on a PC.

Your own handwriting as a font!

Posted on 10. Jun, 2007 by Philip in Software, Web design

From Fontifer a new online service that lets you create a font for Mac or PC from your own handwriting.
I wish they had this when I was at school, I could have forged a heap of letters from my mum about not being able to attend.
Simply print out the fontifer template, write your characters on it, scan the template and upload back to fontifer.
Through the magic of online application voodoo you can then preview your font and purchase it if you wish for $9.00 US.
Great for Christmas cards and birthdays too.

Macintosh deliveries held up

Posted on 04. Jun, 2007 by Philip in Big Trousers News

We had some roadworks blocking access to the shop today so deliveries are a half day behind.
How hard is it to get one of these things round a round-about?
