» Tuesday News Stuff

Here’s what’s up this Tuesday:

• I’m going to start today by apologizing for the podcast being late. I had some archiving troubles on the podcast host site and thus I couldn’t upload any new episode (it is going to be fixed by tomorrow though). Look for a new episode coming tomorrow!
   
• Over at Copyblogger they ran a very interesting article called Are you Trustworthy today. It’s a pretty good article that talks about gaining your readers trust which is vital to any blogger who are looking to survive. A good read.
   
• WP Candy has a lot of different goodies and articles about WordPress and the latest today is about Frameworks, Child Themes, Filters and Hooks. It’s a pretty extensive article but it brings up a lot of good things and tips when designing for WordPress and how you can be helped using certain elements using the Thematic framework.
   
•  The iPhone has been out for a bit now and although there are quite a lot of applications in the business category of the AppStore, there are no big names released yet. Over at CIO.com they speculate in why.

Finally before we end for this news post I want to make a shout out to a buddy, Dave (known to some as PhotoshopDB). He and his wife had a very cute little baby this weekend! Congratulations guys!

» Monday News Stuff

 Today’s been a pretty cool Monday with a lot of music for me, playing flute at a place which I feel was really, really appreciated. So coming up is some of the latest news.

Adobe draws back the Lightroom 1.4 update!

After some problems, Adobe has today removed the update to Lightroom 1.4 for booth Mac and Windows from their site. All users that have installed 1.4 are now advised to remove the version and install 1.3.1 instead.

Rumor: Vista SP1 coming tomorrow?

The latest rumor has it now that Windows Vista SP1 will be released tomorrow. I suppose we just go to wait and see tomorrow don’t we. Microsoft however don’t want to confirm anything other than "on track for mid-March", Amazon has been listing March 18th for a while as the SP1 release date.

Article: Rock your readers like a hurricane!

Today’s article tip is again from Copyblogger where they have a really cool article about rocking your readers like a hurricane! It’s a good read so read it here you too!

» Birthday Tuesday

Today is my birthday and it is a tuesday, so naturally it is birthday tuesday here on the blog! I’m 16 years old today which really makes me able to start practise driving by the laws here! Pretty cool I think, can’t really believe it.

As for presents; I got a one year extension to my NAPP membership, a brand new 250gb internal HDD to replace my old one which I’m going to put in an external case and use as a backup drive I think, plus finally, a brand new 22" Eizo FlexScan S2201W screen, which was from me to me.

Lighting week over att Photoshop Insider

Scott Kelby over at his blog Photoshop Insider has pronounced this week a lighting week over at his blog where he will be going over what you need when you are starting with lighting. Yesterday was the time for the budget starter kit and you can read the post right here. Today was the time for a little step up.

 Interesting writing article on Copyblogger

In an interesting article over on Copyblogger, they are today asking us all to "say no to the three enemies of clear and direct writing". It’s a pretty nice read and we can all learn something from it.

Designing for smaller screens!

When we are designing today many think this way "most people visting my site has got a screen larger than 1024×768 and therefore I can skip the 800×600 compatibility". This is the time when you should take a look at how many is using a resolution above 1280×1024, because over that resolution comes the time where you don’t always have your browser expanded throughout the whole available screenspace and when you perhaps want to be able to view sites at 800 in max width! So be wary and think the other way around as well! As screens get larger, browser windows get smaller!

Anyway, now I*m off to continue copying over my old disk to my new one and to eat some more cake
