Photoshop Express

Adobe have released the beta of Photoshop Express, a free, cut down (even more so than Photoshop Elements), web based version of Photoshop and photo sharing service which currently provides up to 2gb of space per user.
So far I have been unable to get the register page or the test drive page to load in [...]

V Sugar Free Energy Drink

March 28, 2008Matt 8 Comments »

So you’ve got your normal V, then theres your sugar free variety, aptly called “V Sugar Free”.
This variety of V actually tastes very much like the regular stuff. Like any sugar free variant, it does taste somewhat worse than the original, but it’s not much worse.
They are currently $2.20 a can at Coles and are [...]

V is manufactured by Frucor Beverages in New Zealand and is one of the first energy drinks in a can to appear on the market in Australia (on their website, V acknowledge Red Bull as being the first) and it seems to have remained one of the most popular.
I refer to V a lot in [...]

Ice Break Loaded - Iced Coffee and Guarana

March 25, 2008Matt 7 Comments »

Can anyone else say awesome?
I’m a fan of good ice coffee, and I really like the normal Ice Break Iced Coffee, so I figured hey, why not try this new one, Ice Break Loaded which is basically the normal ice coffee but with added guarana.
It tastes slightly different to the regular Ice Break, but it’s [...]

Python Tutorial 3 - Integers and Floats

March 24, 2008Matt No Comments »

As you saw in the final section of the previous tutorial on numeric expressions in Python, Fractions, the following two expressions give different answers:

18.0 / 7.0
# This returns 2.571485714285716

18 / 7
# This returns 2

A float [...]

10000 BC - The Movie

March 23, 2008Matt No Comments »

I went and saw 10000 BC last night, what can I say? It was average.
The CGI in it was great, but that was probably the only redeeming quality of the movie.
10-15 minutes into the movie and there were already things that I can only call silly mistakes.
For example, when they decide to hunt the mammoth [...]

Defusion - Some Follow Up

March 21, 2008Matt 1 Comment »

I received an email a few days ago from Kel, of “The Travelling So & So’s”, who performed on March 16 at the Defusion party. The email was in response to my perception of what had happened on the night and cleared up some misconceptions. She clarified that it was in fact them that was [...]

A Mission For A New Phone

March 18, 2008Matt 2 Comments »

I finally got fed up enough with my phone that I went and got a new one on Sunday when I ran out of credit instead of getting more credit.
I have been looking into a new phone for a while now as my old Panaxonic X700 has been playing up, switching itself off for no [...]
