Photoshop Express

Free online photoshop? More like a rival to Flickr really, host your pictures and do simple editing of them. Guessing most people use photoshop for more heavy-duty monkey business that Potatoshop Express won't do. I use GIMP (though not very often an...

So are we going to Glastonbury or what?

I suspect not this year, as we have a lot on in June anyway, but if we were we'd have to register in advance... Weird. Will it beat the touts? I doubt it, unless all the artists' guests have to register in the same way, just as far in advance.Who wil...

An honest day's work!

Lawks, that frightened me a bit, today I have been WORKING! Not real work, tapping on a keyboard, but monkeying about decorating Dean's front room. We worked all day on it, and to be honest it's looking slightly worse than when we started, so I think...
