Creativity

The TRIP is the mental projection of my digital self. Including all areas of digital work I have been involved with, including Music, video, photography...

All good web pages must have the collection of absolutely useless pictures. Designed for no purpose other than to consume kilobits. And hopefully show off some of my Photographic skills. Web design skills, and uses one php script to drive the whole index. Also see the Photography section of the Silicontrip Website.

The Creative section of the TRIP is my imagination trying to run free. I have a fascination with sexual, spiritual and meta physical abilities, and these stories show it.

Part of the images directory contains some of my digital artwork. These images have been created or enhanced by myself, with the help of the 1s and 0s machine.

Technology for dummies

I complain alot about people who don't know how to make efficient use of technology and take a proverbial sledge hammer to putting a lid on a jar.

I over heard a couple of people who were complaining about a colleage of their's sending out 20meg email attachments and then wondering why the Melbourne office was offline (as their email servers were in Sydney) and they only have a 2meg link between offices...

They were discussing the merits of simply providing a link to the 20 meg file and people downloading it if needed.

Oh finally people are catching on to all the complaining I've been making about how people abuse computers over the last 20 years!

<rant> No you do not need to send me a JPEG screen shot to send me output of your terminal. No you do not need to attach a word document in your email which only contains text. You should not use JPEGs to convey graphically generated data, you should not use GIFs to display photographic data. You do not need to send me any files called winmail.dat. You should never use nearest neighbour scaling *ever*. You should not use bitmaps for vector data. You do not need to send me a power point document for a slide show of a bunch of images. You should not depend on my ability to send my resume in word doc format. Or the ability for me to be able to read proprietry microsoft files. </rant>
