Aviary beta.

Journal Entry: Sun May 11, 2008, 5:57 PM
  • Mood: Eager
  • Playing: Grand Theft Auto I
Hey guys. Still in Liberty City, my story here is over, but I'm having fun doing odd jobs about (like dealing with the diseased pigeon population) and mucking about with other like minded people in races and laser tag (well, at least I think it's laser tag, or at least some sort of virtual reality, how else do we keep coming back after being shot?)

...that's not the reason for this journal however. I've just been invited into the beta of Aviary, a fancypants web based image/creative suite by the guys behind the worth1000 website.

At the moment you can only toy around with the image editor and the pattern creator, but it all seems pretty neato so far. I haven't used it enough to see how it compares to desktop image editors, but I like the concept.

I've got 5 invites to give away to anyone who wants one, but before you ask I don't have any invites left but you can still go visit the aviary website and read a bit about it. Perhaps the people I invited will get invites of their own?



In other, kind of related news, for those geeky enough to know what I'm talking about, Processing (or Proce55ing) has been ported to Javascript, using the Canvas element for output. Pretty sweet stuff if you ask me. See Processing.js for code and demos. Even if you're not geeky I think you'll get a kick out of some of those demos.



anyhoo. taking a break from GTAIV to clean up the basement (our 'house') which is still an absolute mess from back when we ransacked the place for stuff to sell at the yard sale.

    ...a poke? :evileye:

    ;p

    I'll catch up with my emails tonight hopefully.

    GTA IV is awesome, everything about the previous ones has been souped up, expanded on and improved (though they've dropped some of the things from SA that wouldn't fit into the character/story of this one, like car modding and exercise.) I've spent pretty much every day since it's launch playing it, I've finished the story and now I'm playing the side stuff, like police vigilante missions, and I'm also playing a lot of multiplayer, which is a riot :)

    Didn't know you had an xbox 360 though (or do you have a PS3?)
    ~London-In-December:iconLondon-In-December: 3 days 23 hours ago

    To tell the truth I haven't been doing much 'art creation' at all...

    I guess i can put it down to me being lazy, heh.

    How have you been going?

    Well. Only a few hours until I get my hands on GTAIV, that pretty much sums up recent events for me :)

    Funny dream I had last night with you diving from the sky shooting with some weird gun glove thingy. Don't ask me why... i think the work load is overloading my brain.

    But what shocked me was a drawing i found next to me when i woke up!? I normally draw what I dream about but this was probably a reflex because I've never recall drawing that scene.

    I"ll post up the picture once I get time, and let you know when its up. Also the drawing is a bit funky of which I can't make out what type of style it is but I suppose anything happens upon waking from a dream at 4 ish in the morning -.-

    P.S Happy Greek Easter!

    dude! you've got no idea how happy I am to hear from you! I've been trying to contact you since we got back :lol:

    so many things to talk about! I'm going to start keeping skype open again all the time I'm at the computer, you do the same and hopefully we'll be able to talk real soon. :manhug:
