Re: HTC Desire

Vodafone are having stock issues at the moment so I've got to just wait and hope. T-mobile had some amazing deals on the Desire last week but they have just jacked their prices up. They were doing it for £10 a month with £160 for the phone. Over 24 months that beat every offer going ... but now its ...

I am currently awaiting delivery of an HTC Desire.

Re: Oil Wars 2059 - Trailer

Pyrotechnics were part of the plan, just didn't get around to trying anything.

Also I only had so many tanks so didn't want to destroy any of them in the first five minutes!

Audacity Free Sound Editor

I've switched to using Audacity for all my sound editing needs. It's does almost everything you want to do with sound files and its completely free!

I'm using it at the moment to convert some audio tapes to mp3. A complete set of Story Teller audio books if anyone wanted to know!

Re: Oil Wars 2059 - Trailer

I was using a blue screen so no real clash in term of colour ... I just couldn't remove all the blue without starting to lose parts of the tank. The barrel and aerials were the worst bits. There just didn't seem to be a sharp enough edge to work with. I knew I couldn't do 'real' so I decided to go '...

The original (and very vague) concept was that it was the battle for the last refinery on Earth. Who was fighting who wasn't something I had decided :)
