explosions... always good

Podcast, video, with audio this time.. but you might want to turn the volume down.
For anyone who does not recognise the places, the missile is the "spire" a major Dublin landmark, and the building is the Dáil , the Irish house of parliment.

blender 3d software

my "Blender for Dummies" book arrived today, so its back to school for me.
It is great software, and totally free. Open-source (which I am vaguely aware means, programmers can add to and improve the software... , which I might do.. somewhere in a parallel universe, not in this one though) Its not easy to get started, pretty steep learning curve, but for starters just want to do some funky 3d text. And my version of Toystory/Shrek, can follow in due course (have probably started them already in the parallel universe) Or have a look at this.

html code

Must learn more about html, but will be after I do a few hours on "Blender" 3d software

podcast test file one

if using and feeds with Internet Explorer, just click on the orange button, or , go to itunes, and choose, podcasts, advanced and add

and you will received new podcasts as they are updated.

Will check out options for Firefox, Chrome etc in due course

post two , ftp fun and frolics

I really like ftp, I like uploading hundreds of files, and there is a great sense of satisfaction, having got this blog to upload by ftp to a folder of my choice.

The fact that it took me about 60 attempts to get the sequence of paths, urls and passwords correct , I suppose adds to the satisfaction, and unlike other similar exercises, I dont think I threatened to pick up my laptop and smash it off the table once.

I suppose that is one advantage of a desktop. If you are inclined to smash things, it is probably just the keyboard that gets it.

Now to see if I can get this rss feed to work, podcast on the way.. or perhaps insanity
