  There’s a good article at alistapart describing the transition from using Fireworks.

  NB ImageReady has now been discontinued with most of the features now in Photoshop as described in this Technote and some in Fireworks.

• Photoshop versus Fireworks: The gotchas

  Every time I fire up Photoshop (CS3) (rather that photo-up Fireworks!), I always seem to forget some little thing or other, and feel like I’m wearing thick gloves when I’m just trying to do something simple.

• Learning Java

  Java is somewhere between an interpreted language and a compiled one… A text file (.java) is compiled into bytecode with the extension .class which then runs on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine)

• After reading about Lucky Stiff's Java bookcase of doom...

  Okay, so I was switched off after mangling my brain a bit with C, and then working through OO programming with Ruby (courtesy of Why the Lucky Stiff) put me off a bit more…

• Maltings gets connected

  The good fantastic news is that broadband is now up and running, and I can write posts without having to don black and carry a lump of white plastic in a mysterious way round Milton Keynes, whilst drinking frothy coffee. I can upload to Flickr, and blog away! Hurrah!

• Milton Keynes is a package holiday!

  It’s been bothering us for a while: Milton Keynes is carefully planned, well executed and seems to have everything a town/city should ever have… but something has always felt not right somehow.

• Castles and Starlight

  We had a great day at Ludlow Castle yesterday. Madeleine and James were just lovely to be with: one very enthusiastic puppy on a lead, and a helpful big brother.

  We all had a lovely day out in Liverpool yesterday, and made visits to familiar book and shoe shops (Madeleine is now size five and a half).

• Aimee's Party

  James and I went back to Sandbach yesterday for Aimee’s 4th Birthday Party. It took us over an hour and a half to drive there (James – bless him – slept most of the way), and felt like a good way to say goodbye.

  Well, I woke up this morning (Da-daa da da) and thought I was in Park Lane… except the noise of the children was coming from the wrong side of the bed.

• Hot tub removal

  It’s started! The big lorry came along on Monday (along with tattooed blokes) and Dave’s fence panel was lifted out, the ramps put in place, and the hot tub left for warehouse somewhere.

  In the same way our trip round New Zealand was tracked on a blog, I had this idea about keeping in touch this way…

  Not quite sure why I stopped paying such close attention, but there’s lots of good stuff at the Developer Center

• WordPress Experiment

  As a number of Stuart’s (aka Bombsite’s) designs have been ported from WordPress, I thought I should see what it’s all about (with a cheapskate account, of course).
