Dear Oh Dear

I hate to post unoriginal content, and linking to another site is pretty poor isn’t it, but this did make me laugh.

Here’s the original source. Thank you Engadget.

How two, rather large companies, can use the same image and then go and publish the ad without being aware of theother’s existing image is a bit comical, surely there’s someone that would either check out existing ads or check the photographers portfolio; maybe I’m just being too harsh.

But a word to the photographer, maybe some more original shots for your next client ey, we know you’ve used this set up for an Apple shot (check the link for the image).

Or, to the Photoshop department of MSI, well what can ya say, sack y’all.

And yes, I’m no one to be giving advice on originality but hey, let’s run with it.

So That Idea…

If you read the post below this one you would have seen that I was trying to think of what to do to make this blog worth visiting and, after seeing how practical it would be, I settled on doing a photo out of my window for about a week and seeing how it goes, and, after this week, I may see if I can animate it into either an animated GIF or a little Flash movie.

 

So anyways, here’s the view from my window. The only thing that I edited in Photoshop is the size of the image so that it would fit into the space of this post, rounded off the corners for aesthetics and used the Auto-Level function to compensate for the washed out effect of the camera.

I know this method may have been done before in other blogs, but there were only a few that I could see and, as it’s getting to summer, the rate at which the view will change makes it a worthwhile endeavor. I hope you enjoy and check back soon to see how it’s coming along.

(PRODUCT)RED Theme Posted

 

I just uploaded my (PRODUCT)RED iPhone theme that I created about a fortnight back and is now ready for your downloading pleasure. The download link and some more info are available on the (PRODUCT)RED Theme page above.

You may have seen this theme on iPod Touch Fans forum or on Installer under the author ‘Lenz’, I assure you, it’s me; I tried to get that URL but it had been nabbed so I had to be creative and think of another suitable blog name.

I’m currently in the process of thinking what I will have up on here that will be a real pull and so if, in a couple of weeks, you read this post, it will have worked. My current thinking is maybe doing a day-to-day photo of the view out of my window and letting it run for a few weeks and see how it changes over time but I have a niggling feeling that it ma have been done before. I must be more inventive ey.

Anyways, I’ll have a little think and let you know how it’s coming along.

Sorted

OK, seeing as this is my first proper post, let me introduce myself. As you can see at the top of this page, I’m Slip and I run this site here, CompostiteHeart, well, when I say run, I really mean I write some bits and bobs and put up some files, WordPress does all the hard work for me. But hey, doesn’t the saying go that never do more work than you have to? … I’ll follow that anyway.

But anyway, I’m a student in South-West England and I am currently preparing to sit my GCSE’s which start on the 19th, oh how I look forward to them. But once these are out of the way I plan to spend the summer traveling and larking about (an underused expression  I fee) and being a typical student. It only comes ’round once.

I then plan to go onto college where I plan to study Computing, Electronics, Physics and Use Of Maths (a more practical based maths course ).

When I find the time/content I hope to keep this blog updated and post on a variety of different topics depending on what kind of mood I’m in and also what I’m up to at the time; for example, I recently discovered FontStruct so I have made my very first font, Division. You can find it here if you’re interested.

So welcome one and all, I hope you enjoy the content that I will, eventually, get up and make sure you check back shortly.
