PixelPost Future Date Addon

I recently opened my PhotoBlog to the public and noticed after i uploaded some 95 images that they were all visible to the public, this was a problem since i wanted to have them display one day after the other.

At the moment pixelpost does not support this feature, although after looking around in the code i can see that it should be coming out very shortly.

For the time being I created a Addon that allows you to select any images you want and then cast them into the future, removing them from the public view as well as the archives or any other pages until the day comes when the dates match up.

Remember to log out of the admin panel otherwise all your images will be visible in the main image page.

Its – 46C!

Well yesterday was about -25c with wind chill was about -43c and i decided to go for a walk and play in the snow drifts. Today its -31 and with wind chill is a balmy -46c, colder than Yellow Knife!

Needless to say the roads are covered in drifted snow, the side walks blend in with the rest to the snow. Its almost impossible to take your glove off check the time and not freeze your hand.

Seams like winter came late!

Cintiq 21UX

Well along with a new job comes new toys. I have not had much time to really play with my new Cintiq 21UX monitor, but the experiences i have had in illustrator and photo shop have been amazing. I find my self needing to know more shortcuts using the stylus opposed to using the mouse. Your arm will be very sore at the end of the day. Not that knowing all the little shortcuts is a bad thing. I really like using the Cintiq 21UX in photo shop especially when doing photo retouches. its much more natural. I’m not a big illustration person so i don’t find it really beneficial in illustrator for my self. i tend to stick with the mouse since I’m mostly doing page layouts now.

Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP LCD Monitor

I have needed to replace my monitor for a while now. I’m still using my close to 5 year old ViewSonic GS790 monitor, it’s getting a little fuzzy around the edges and could use some more brightness. When i started at nForm they treated me to a Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP monitor. At first i was exited because it was so large, then i turned it on at was instantly amazed at how bright and crisp it was. My eyes were pleased, this was the first time i have really spent any time on an LCD and i must say i love this monitor.

The monitor also has 15-pin D-Sub, DVI-D, S-Video and Composite Connectors, and will allow you to change your inputs with a bush of a button. lets say you are working on two computers. then switch it over to say your mac. maybe you are watching tv and need to do some work, no problem the monitor has picture in picture.

How much could this monitor cost? well i wondered the same thing after using it. i took a stroll over to the Dell website and had a look turns out its only a measly $399 us.
