hope you enjoy!
We recently went to the opening of Peter Berner’s exhibition at Gallery@28 and bought a great piece. Its very striking, the slightly ‘wine-drinking-blurry’ photo below doesn’t really do it justice.
anyway, it will hang in the hall and make a striking statement for our place!
so with the new little Golf we have for the growing young family, the old white van has finally been passed on. We sold it to a friend for whom it will their first car!
the old van was my first car, i took my driving test in it, it has been driven on road trips and adventures and has been registered and lived in THREE states around the country, and never died once!!
im glad it has gone to someone who can still get some new adventures out of it!
for a TINY segment of the memories, here is a slideshow of JUST A TASTE of some of the times…
OMG this is like Bon Jovi meets a 00s Beach Boys, meets a stadium rock song that you could hear at the finale of a karate kid movie!!
some really rockin out nice music from Surfer Blood
Every time this comes on in the car i cant turn it up loud enough!! volume makes this song even better!
enjoy!
So we have finally got around to setting up Tomorrow The World - Animation and Games. This is the first steps towards publishing our own content!

Check the new site, and head back now and then for updates! - ttw
Had a great birthday evening!
thanks to all for the birthday well wishes, posts, tweets, cards, emails, letters, phone calls, presents and thoughts!
Had a really good, fulfilling dinner at Buzo and enjoyed relaxing @ home.
We love this really nice Italian restaurant! Food and service is really good, and the surrounds are cosy and quiet. The upstairs space is really intimate and we have enjoyed many dinners here. I definately recommend it! Buzo
stashing some more useful alias work here:
#file management
alias checkz ‘find -size -128 -maxdepth 1′
alias spellcheck ‘ls | spell | sort | more’
So i ahve been recently sorting out some fairly complex aliases and have discovered the usefulness of being able to get arguments from the user for aliases!
GO - shot nav tools
this tool will navigate quickly to the desired dir of your seq/shot and list the results with a filter for .mov.
useage:
go[variant] [seq] [shot] –> [variant] = render : wip : comp : no [variant] will default to [shot] path.
example:
prompt> gocomp aa01 001
there are many different uses and places to nav to, however the aliases below have been modified to NOT show my companies dir structure.
PL - play latest tools
this will play the latest mov for a desired shot from anywhere int he shell - based on timestamp of the file.
useage:
pl[variant] [seq] [shot] –> [variant] = render : comp : no [variant] will play the latest mov in the current working dir.
example:
prompt> plcomp aa01 001
there are many more uses for these type of user input wildcards, however the full scope has been reduced to further protect the company dir structure.
currently PL uses ‘RV’ to play the files, which is also been aliased to ‘rv’. The rv coul be replaced with framecycler commands, or mplayer etc.
#GO - shot navigation aliases alias go 'clear ; cd /path/to/project/\!:1/\!:1"_"\!:2/ ; pwd ; ls -lrth' alias gorender 'clear ; cd /path/to/project/\!:1/\!:1"_"\!:2/path/to/render/ ; pwd ; ls -lrth *.mov' alias gowip 'clear ; cd /path/to/project/\!:1/\!:1"_"\!:2/path/to/xsi/folder/\!:1"_"\!:2_addYourFileConventionStuff_$USERNAME/Render_Pictures/ ; pwd ; ls -lrth *.mov' alias goseq 'clear ; cd /path/to/project/\!:1/ ; pwd ; ls -lrth' alias gocomp 'clear ; cd /path/to/project/\!:1/\!:1"_"\!:2/path/to/comp/dir/ ; pwd ; ls -lrth *.mov' #PL - Play Latest aliases alias pl 'rv `ls -tr *mp4.mov | tail -1`' alias plrender 'clear ; rv `ls -tr /path/to/project/\!:1/\!:1"_"\!:2/path/to/render/dir/*.mov | tail -1`' alias plcomp 'clear ; rv `ls -tr /path/to/project/\!:1/\!:1"_"\!:2/path/to/comp/dir/*.mov | tail -1`'
anyway, i thought it would be neat to show the user input arguments off for aliases! pretty useful and powerful for little user tools.
any thoughts, get back to me!
