Bye Bye CD Tray B

Monday, March 27th, 2006

Remember my trouble finding a CD Tray template for printable discs? Well, I decided to give Disc Cover from BeLight Software a whirl.

As soon as you launch the app it drips GUI goodness over your screen. The interface is intuitive to use and beautiful to behold, and you can create the whole shebang - covers, inlays, discs, all from one project.

The included clipart and templates aren’t really to my taste so I find myself starting from a blank template each time but Disc Cover makes it an absolute doddle to knock a print project together so there’s no worries.

When you’re done with the design you hit print and Disc Cover takes care of the rest thanks to the countless printers and paper/tray formats that it knows about.

This software is very, very cool. Love it.

Coming At You Like A Shark With Knees

Saw The Mighty Boosh at The Apollo this week with Mrs FatBinary and Miss Myrna. What a cracking night out that was… absolutely brilliant.

Either you get ‘em or you don’t but whatever, we’re big fans here and nearly broke something after laughing for just under three hours with nothing more than a fag-and-beer break for respite half way through.

The show itself was a bit of a mish mash of stories from the two series (mostly Tundra) with loads of cheeky banter between scenes. Weird crowd mind you, 60% students (to be expected I suppose) with the rest made up of old Manchester heads and pissed up scousers - peculiar.

If you like The Boosh (I’m told it’s an acquired taste) then you absolutely have to see them live… the bits BBC3 made them leave out have to be seen to be believed! Seriously. The less-than-well unicorns bit sticks in my mind more than it should. The Boosh is loose and it’s coming at you like a flannel.
