Outlook 2007 / Firefox “General Failure” URL Bug

June 18th, 2009 Matt No comments

outlookbugThis one just hit me today, for some reason.  I *did* do an update on Office 2007 last night through Windows Update, so it was probably something b0rked in there.

When clicking on a URL in an Outlook 2007 message, a “General Failure” dialog pops up instead.  The fix is here.

Warpedcore.net Relaunch

June 16th, 2009 Matt No comments

Well, I’ve been messing around in code again, and warpedcore.net is back up and running.

Still got a couple of niggling issues, like the thumbnailing on the front page, but we’ll get it all sorted out in time.

Opening The Gallery

Alelsa (my Warlock)

Alelsa (my Warlock)

Opening the gallery section of the site, this is probably the first real render I’ve done since returning to digital art.

This is actually the cover image for “The Chronicles of Anarah Runetwister”, which I’m writing at the moment.  It’s also my WoW warlock, Alelsa.  The two are very closely linked, as will become clearer once I get the book finished :)

Everything done in DAZ Studio 2.3, Poser is ftl.

3D Artist Magazine

3D Artist Issue 1

3D Artist Issue 1

I’ll be honest. The only reason I went and got a back issue of issue one of 3D Artist was for the free copy of Carrara 6.2 Pro. Yes, full version. Yes, they still have copies at time of writing. Go get one!

I’ve been a big Carrara fan since I first looked at it, after trying out DAZ Studio and wanting something to make models in, so being able to get my hands on this for £7.50 (after postage) was too good a chance to turn down.  But hey, back to the magazine because this isn’t the time to talk about why DAZ software is better than everything else – I’ll save that for another post :)

You know, I have a habit of getting hooked on stuff like this, especially when I saw the Three issues for £1 subscription offer (note, this link is probably only active while the offer is open).

Honestly, its worth it for the free software and models on the cover discs alone.  After that, the price rises to about £3.60 an issue, which is still a nice saving from the £6 cover price…

Anyways, I’ll report more on the mag once I finish reading issue one, and when the others arrive.
