Of course, I see now that it says “taggers”. Still, Mr Brain is pretty serious.

You know, I’m all for varied fill patterns and stuff, but this one in InDesign is a bit crap. Ahaha.

Not just the horses…

From the Dawn of Time – Pixel Art

deKay — Wed, 19 May 2010 15:33:37 +0000

Inspired by the FANTASTIC piggy I drew earlier, I decided to have a look for the previous “pixel art” I’d done about 12 years ago on the Amiga. I shouldn’t have bothered – they were far worse to look at than I remembered.

There was a system on the Amiga for higher quality (than standard) icons for programs, games, files and folders called NewIcons. I’d installed it on my Amiga, but couldn’t find icons for a few things. So I created my own.

NewIcons had two states too – clicked and not-clicked, so each icon needed two images.

Anyway, here they are!

Amazing, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Oink!

I drew a piggy. Properly drew. Pixel by pixel. My first pixel art!*

He’s certainly a happy looking piggy!

*Not technically true. I’ve drawn little stick men before. And, more importantly, I drew some Amiga NewIcons once. They’re on Aminet somewhere. But that’s another post!

More Destroy My Gems “fun”

And still not real explanation as to what it’s all about. Tch, eh?

Destroy My Gems, Again

This lovely picture comes from the artilicious Couk. Look at his site. He’s very good, if a little wrong in his head. Bless.

PC Plus changes their target audience

deKay — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 16:31:53 +0000

I only subscribe to two magazines – EGM, and PC Plus. In fact, I’ve cancelled my renewal for PC Plus because I don’t actually have a PC any more, but I still have the end of the subscription to run.

Imagine my surprise when I opened this month’s issue to find, along with the usual scammy scratchcards and flyers for home insurance, this:

New server desktop wallpaper

deKay — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:41:37 +0000

At work, I’ve facetiously named all our servers with actual proper names. “Server 1″ or “Mail Server” are dull, boring, and – most importantly – rubbish names for servers. So they have names. Some were named after specific people, others were named because the machines were different colours and the name started with the same letter as the colour. Roxy is the Proxy. So there’s no real pattern to them all.

Anyway. This week, we killed several of the older servers and replaced them with new, powerful-but-not-colourful Dell servers. And we named them as before. In addition, they’re pretty much all rack mounted now, so I remote into them. “I know,” I thought, “I’ll give them all exciting wallpaper!”. Except Roxy as I couldn’t find a safe-for-work picture to use.

And so it came to pass:

That’s right. Simon Amstell is now one of our servers. Amazing.
