December 2007
23:07pm, 2007 is almost over! No sign of my 2nd born appearing this year, will it be a New Years Day baby? (My wife would like this!)
Just used the WiFi iTunes Store for the first time, very cool.
Someone just brought me loads of unwanted Christmas chocolate ;)
Stacks in Leopard can be slo-mo’d just like Expose, hold down shift and click on a stack in the dock.
Happy Hogmanay to you all!
Just stopped playing Wii, given myself a sore leg playing Wii Sports! Great fun though :)

Here’s how to downgrade/restore the iPod touch’s firmware to version 1.1.1 using your Mac OS X.
iPod Touch jailbroken. Installed a bunch of apps, MobileTwitterific not working though.
@donegarden - Seems to be going ok so far :)
Jailbreaking my iPod Touch, more out of curiousity than need. Although running Mail.app will be nice.
Eating breakfast. Still feel a bit run down, at least I’m on holiday though. No baby yet ;)
Now Christmas day is past I’m just kind of waiting for our baby (#2) to be born now. We think it’s going to come very soon!!!
Loading more songs and video onto my iPod.
Physicsofskateboarding.com, intriguing podcast.
The downside of having eaten out for Christmas dinner is there’s no leftovers :( Toast and peanut butter it is then ;)
Downloading a stack of video podcasts found under the category ‘skateboard’. Skate / snowboard stuff.
Boxing day am, drinking green tea, planning to sleep some more :)

Catching up on people’s tweets, depressed to read a lot saying they’re going snowboarding ;(

About to go out for a chinese buffet meal, looking forward to it, yum!
Just uploaded a few videos (made when I studied Time Based Art - 93-97) to Vimeo. Liking Vimeo a lot. http://www.vimeo.com/rickcurran/videos
Watch“Seasons of the Heart” was the name of a video installation that was part of my final Time Based Art degree show in 1997. It was basically a room with a large projection screen on one wall, on the floor was a shallow tank with 3 small 1.5” video screens in the base. Hanging from the roof in front of the main screen and above the shallow tank were 3 wax hearts (casts from a mould...
WatchThis is a video I made as part of promotional material for The Factory Skatepark back in 1999. Basically the skatepark needed much larger premises and this video was part of a campaign to raise money and awareness of the project. It also marked the beginning of a long and at times painful process towards the goal of a purpose built facility. The video features a music track especially created by...
WatchThis is a video I made for an event back around 1995, it was just intended to be an introduction to the event using a cool song. The song is Radiohead’s Street Spirit and the video was basically images shot in one day around Dundee. Interestingly I had never seen the original video for this song so I had no idea that it was in black and white. The original is actually really awesome and one...
WatchThis is another video from my college days. It’s kind of a video Triptych although it’s present in sequential from in this video. I originally displayed them on 3 small 1.5” screens mounted on a wall so that you could see each of them looping constantly. The video was made using a system called Quantel Harriet which in it’s day was a very expensive piece of kit and rarely...
WatchThis was an experiment to create a panorama using multiple video clips in a similar way in which you can do with still images. I didn’t intend for it to be perfect joins nor is it taken with multiple cameras simultaneously (ala Matrix bullet time stylee!), they’re roughly overlaid inside of Flash and then exported as a video clip.
Anyone else finding that not all tweets from other people make it through to Twitterific? Or is it just me?
Figuring out a crucial change in spec on *the project*, a bit late in the day to find an oversight, doh! Not too big a deal but not wanted!!
Ack, having to give up on a nice Ajax interface for a form and reverting to simple drop down menus, too much opportunity for user error.

WatchA short film made in 1995 for an event discussing issues about relationships. This is another one from the vaults, no fancy schmancy non-linear editing here, this was made the hard way on a 3 deck analogue edit suite using MII video format. It features people from my year at College as well as an American exchange student whose name I forget. It was also filmed using full size camera equipment...
