Things to see

What's this?

This blog is where Matthew shares the nitty-gritty of what life is about, whether it be the optimal shade of tea, a review of a newly-released film, a passionate expose of theological doctrine, or just a rant about whatever is topical.

None of this blog should be taken seriously, unless otherwise indicated. The events described here and their real-life counterparts probably wouldn't get on at a party, so don't expect them to correlate easily.

Mini takes over the world. The end.

I’ve been playing with Photoshop again. You’ll find a couple of pics on the Colchester Mini Club forum that I did today. Nothing too amazing, nothing too complicated, but it sets the ball rolling for further experimentation! I’m really getting into the whole image manipulation thing now, getting to know the tools better and knowing how best to use them to create certain effects. All good fun!

I have also pushed the boat out and bought myself a 19″ TFT monitor. I’ve been using an old 17″ CRT for a while now, which I got handed down to me from my Grandpa because he wasn’t using it, but it’s rather old and just recently it’s been giving me headaches. The refresh rate isn’t brilliant, and it’s fairly bulky too. So yesterday evening I bit the bullet and bought a nice big TFT. Hopefully that’ll be arriving at some point this week.

Can’t think of anything else noteworthy to say, so that’s all from me for now. Good night all…
