Off Topic / Norton...NOT SMASH!

Oh dear. Ed Norton's not happy. He's been dropped from the new Avengers film in favour of Joaquin Phoenix.

Just noticed that the picture of Zirk I had as an avatar has mysteriously disappeared. Any way of getting it back or will I have to try to find the pic and upload it again?

Cheers

Help! / Hivemind Image Request - Prog 473 Cover

« on: 08 June, 2009, 03:51:01 PM »

As some of you would've seen in the 30th Anniversary Prog, Brendan McCarthy's cover for 473 is my all time favourite (as well as the lovely Malchi's). I'm wanting to have a lovely print in at least A3 of this for the wall (or even one of those huge canvas jobs), but scanning direct from the bog roll will only give really shitty results (awful pun intended, I'm afraid).

Does anyone know if there's a black line only version of this printed anywhere, that I can scan at high res and attempt the ridiculously hard job of recolouring to match the original? Even better would be if some lovely person at the House of Tharg could email me a high res version taken from the black film. ;)

Needless to say, this is just for a one-off for mine and Malchi's enjoyment alone.

Off Topic / Microsoft Windows Azure

Anyone else not liking the sound of this? As much as I'm not a Microsoft hater, I don't fancy everything I do on my computer in their hands.

It's not very often that reading something online gives me a fuzzy glow of happiness inside.

This is one of them. :)

Help! / Another Mac problem.

« on: 20 August, 2008, 10:22:48 AM »

Booted up my work Mac this morning and something bizarre seems to have happened. Desktop, Mail & Dock have all been reset to default. I've also lost everthing in the address book and the entire contents of the Documents folder. I've got the mail sorted out, but really need to get the documents folder back if possible (it's got my job database in it). Any ideas, seasoned Mac users? I've no idea at all why this has happened.

And yes, I *am* a nobend for not making backups.

Cheers, chaps.

The proposed cull of my favourite wild animal has thankfully been rejected. This summer's otter farming will still be going ahead, though.

Film & TV / Best British Film of All Time...

« on: 30 June, 2008, 01:01:00 PM »

...is apparently Four Weddings and a Funeral. [spits] The people who voted probably watch Loose Women religiously every day.

I refuse to acknowledge a 'Best British Film' that doesn't have Patrick Magee in.

Events / Après Bristol 2008

« on: 11 May, 2008, 09:52:02 PM »

Well I made it home, albeit with a knackered back and an empty wallet, thanks mainly to the Ramada bar. A fantastic weekend and I evena managed not to start any fight. Great to see old faces again and meet new ones (props to Dankell and his incredibly smiley gf).

Far too many moments to list all at once, although the 2000ad panel was a definite highlight. Another brief one this morning involved a very strange, very short man stopping me to ask where I got my Doomlord t-shirt from, then just staring at me. I hope to god it wasn't a messageboarder. :s

Only really low point was the Eagle Awards. Panini Spider-Man reprints 'Best British Comic'? Fuck off.

It's that time of year again, and time to wish the most gorgeous messageboarder very, VERY many happy returns.

Happy Birthday Malchidiel, you dirty, sexy bitch!

Film & TV / Dave Grohl sues Marvel

« on: 22 February, 2008, 09:21:39 AM »

Marvel have been naughty and nicked some Foo Fighters songs for their new X-Men cartoon and they're now being rightfully sued. What's the betting that Marvel will attempt to play the "we're the big boys" card again and try to completely destroy Roswell Records?
