Bloody cheek - my wife has just beat my best score in Bejeweled on the iPhone by a huge 15,000 points. grrrrrr !!
The Russians are here in Girona
I spotted a blog post last night on the Discover Girona Blog about an exhibition that is on in Girona and ends 18th January. I love the work of the Russian Avant Garde painters so I am delighted that I found the blog post. I plan to go and visit the exhibition in the next few days and I will take a few pictures and come back with a review of the exhibition following the trip. In the mean time do...
Just placed and order for a Fender electric guitar, I left one I had in Ireland 6 yrs ago and I want to get learning again
Encoding a Wizardcast right now- I will have to add some music to it and a bit of an intro in GarageBand but nearly all done there
watching The Other Boleyn Girl on boxee →
Just watched Match of the day - no chance to do any trading today - family things on a crucial times. Villa did well to get the draw at end
Just set in motion an Super Duper back up - been meaning to do for some time - time machine makes me lazy with Superduper
Got thru to my son in Oz eventually Great to be able to wish happy xmas & find out what sort of day he had in Sydney
xmas eve is present giving time with my family here in Spain & tomorrow is more a day for recovering from this evening. Have a good one U.
Finding out there are more things that I can do with GarageBand that I reckoned was possible, like adding compressor with lots of settings
Have video to work on & don’t feel like working on it as some scummy git has passed on a cold & I feel rough. Hope to be better by Thursday
Siena scored to bring the scoreline to 1-1 - Interestingly the lay bet of the loser can be traded to give a guaranteed profit already
Went to hang out with the guys at Girona Grapevine today. I interviewed Brian for the BravaChat Podcast - now to post production
Some UEFA football on this evening so I will be doing some more testing of the Laying the loser strategy which is for the next Videocast
Got the timer controller for my Canon SLR so that I can do some time lapse photography/movies. I can hardly wait…
Just posted on the FootyTrader Blog the video I did about a new software I tested yesterday. It crashed on me 4 times and was totally crappy
Getting 3 more episodes of WNYC radio Podcasts by Jad Abumrad. So well made & creative in the use of sound & presentation of interviews
I posted a videocast in the blog - showing how to make a pigs ear out of trading on the Aston Villa game by using rubbish software
Yeah !! Barça beat Real Madrid 2 - 0 with goals from Eto and Messi. Bloody marvelous - Away the Catalans ! Nothing as nice as beating Madrid
Trying a betting software today and it crashed on me losing 3 euro because I could not trade out in time. Not use that one again
WatchWizardcast 39 News and views
Matched betting with a 100 Euro bonus
Using BetIE to hedge in a football game
A few words about BetAngel and Betdaq
This latest video cast I made using VideoCue, ScreenFlow and Garageband. I even used a little bit of Amadeus Pro the excellent audio editor
Getting close to completing the Wizardcast 39- Video Podcast about hedging the under 2.5 goals market, news & details about matched betting
just love new back office of Wordpress 2.7 - have updated Spondicious Photography & Wizardgold.com/wordpress so far. BravaChat will be next
super duper - Wordpress 2.7 is ready for hosted sites - have to update all my sites hope all the plug ins work afterwards though
Another job done - Christmas cards sent. People don’t really do cards here in Spain but the English still like them for xmas
iPhone App - Shopper is a super app for those shopping lists has a bit of a data base I can add to & put prices and other info into. Cool !
I do wish the iSight camera was better though in low light. Works OK during the day but is poor in artificial light
VideoCue also has transitions and titles and even does green screening. The titles look very professional in the resulting video
Testing out VideoCue software which has an autocue, I can read what I want to say and be looking right at the camera rather than elsewhere
What I would like to do is connect the G4 Mac Mini to the TV, how easy is that? Anyone any information?
Got the new TV - 32 inch LG - nearly broke my back moving the old CRT down to the garage. might not be 60in monster but still much better
For my next podcast will be interviewing a soccer nut who lives in Barcelona it could be for BravaChat and perhaps for Wizardgold site also
I used ScreenFlow to capture the video and also to add video actions zooming and call outs. It even does the transitions nicely.
Wizardcast38 about dutching footy being compressed by Garageband. Funny how GB does a good job of dealing with video also.
testing a strategy with BetIE & the West Ham Spurs game. backed correct score of 1-1 with an insurance bet on 0-0 lets see how it goes
Wow get the extra features on this new phone. Everyone I mean everyone will want one of these babies http://ping.fm/IaK9F
lemon curd - 2 large lemons, 150g sugar, 100g butter, zest the lemons 4 eggs. mix in a bowl heat over a bain maria until thickened - tasty
a bain maria is a bowl suspended over a suacepan with water to heat the lemon curd slowly and gently - much better than shop bought
Put 3 new header images on the Bravachat.com web site. Used photos I have taken from around here, St Feliu, Solius, and fisherman houses
@typicalmacuser told us about WNYC Radio podcasts by Jeff Abumrad listened to six, loved em’ & will be getting test. innovative podcasting
Saw the Wordpress 2.7 layout and I am looking forward to it coming out for self hosted blog sites, very impressed with it
yippee - wife has been expelled from hospital after 10 day stay. She is good & really looking forward to being home, better clean the house
Now I have to take my crazy mother in law to Girona. Oh the crosses some of us have to bear.
Spondicious PodCast 06 - Video →
In this podcast I look at the idea of selling illustrations online through micro stock photography sites. One of the things that you really have to look out for is closed path and open…
Now have an in car charger for the iPhone - boy oh boy did I need it yesterday. It was only lunchtime and begging for food
I am working on the voice over for the next Spondicious Photography Podcast in which I show how to get rid of open paths in illustrator
