    lineless drawing!

    What  nightmare!  I have spent the past two weeks trying to figure out photoshop (well…I’m using Gimp because I’m poor) but I finally figured it out using a book my parents gave me for christmas and a tutorial on Photoshop I found online. Alright so anyone else who has been racking their poor brains trying to find a way to efficiently and tidily colour in a drawing in photoshop, the key is in ‘Channels’.  Turns out, all colour images are in a color environment but they have RGB channels.  The red channel is stronger or weaker by having a black and white channel, the more white there is, the more red there is.  Same for green and blue.  So essentially a simple white dot on a black background can be created by drawing a white dot on the red, green and blue channels.  If you wanted just a purple-y dot, you’d have a white dot on just the red and blue channels. Clever!  Why the heck is this not explained when you install the program?!  Seems pretty essential

    What not to do this Christmas

    So you’ve just unwrapped your Wii and connected it up to your glorious new 42″ plasma LCD television, but then … (Watch from about 4m 55s onwards) Apologies to any of you who’ve seen this before – a clip from a American shopping channel where the presenter does an admirable job of retaining his composure after breaking the item he’s trying to sell. I’ve actually never managed to break a television – a SNES joypad is the most significant item I’ve ever managed to damage, hurled at a wall in a fit of 10-year-old pique after losing at Street Fighter 2

    How to Use LinkedIn to Spam Business People

    No, I’m not suggesting you use LinkedIn to spam prospective customers. Rather, I’m saying that it’s being done already with company’s and their affiliates setting up straw men (and, in this case, women) to drive traffic. I’m hoping that someone from LinkedIn will see this post and put some up some new barriers to keep LinkedIn spam to a minimum, before it becomes a real problem

    Unofficial tech support returns home for the holidays

    Whenever I go home to visit my parents, I always assume a handful of new roles — I become the after-dinner dishwasher, the family chauffeur, and appropriately, my parents’ personal tech support. As I go home for the holidays this week, I’ll likely be asked to help fix the webcam that “used to be there” or make the font size “so I can see it again.” I’ll also perform a few regular maintenance tasks that my parents don’t even know to ask about, such as running a virus scan, uninstalling unused applications and upgrading their software to the latest versions. I know this phenomenon isn’t unique to just my family

    Project Canvas gets provisional approval from the BBC Trust

    I wanted to point out the BBC Trust’s press release regarding its provisional approval for Project Canvas – although it was reported in the press yesterday it was actually published today. There are some interesting things to note in the release that highlight market impact and public value around Project Canvas but it’s worth reading the Provisional conclusions and public consultation document in full. There’s a period of consultation on the provisional conclusions that closes on 2 February 2010, after which the Trust will reach its final decision.

    10 non-PowerPoint books that can help you create better presentations

    To learn how to design and deliver better presentations, we need to pull from many educational sources. Books are good, but which ones? I don’t usually suggest PowerPoint or Keynote “how-to” books, but instead recommend reading books from various design and communication fields to stretch your knowledge and perspective

    Just Dance for the Wii | Game review

    Wii; £24.99; cert 3+, Ubisoft When you think about it, it’s a bit strange that of all the music games the Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises were the ones that broke out and became an international phenomenon. I’d imagine only a small percentage of those who have wielded the small, plastic axe are really that into rock – let alone have heard of the likes of Slayer. That so many have bought and played with a product so seemingly ill-suited to them suggests that the demand for these “party” games is huge.

    Round up: Friday 18 December 2009

    In the post about the Audio and Music Interactive departmental the other day we covered Radio 1’s Meet the Listeners day where people could send in for free an MMS message of themselves to build up a picture of the station’s users (NB: The promised video is now live and very good too.) Ewan on the Mobile Industry Review website has written the critical (and be warned, fairly foul-mouthed) Radio 1 Free MMS day: Great idea, 3 years too late about the day.

    The Gamesblog Top 50: the ten games that should have made it

    The brilliant titles that somehow failed to grasp a position in our democratically devised super list… Well, most of the bases were covered during our controversial Top 50 rundown. Many of you were angered that so many GTA titles made it in, but then, they were immensely popular and fondly remembered titles – the sorts of games you play a lot despite yourself.
