Ready.... and...... Breathe

Here I am again, with another song!

First of all, you've all probably noticed that I have had a play with the design and layout of my blog - I hope you all like it.

Back to the main reason for this post
-------------------------------------------

Actually, this song isn't entirely mine - whereas I prefer to write my music from scratch, this one was put together using the Digimpro software (very quickly may I add). I tend to stay well clear of these 'remix' programs where you simply drag loops and samples onto a grid to make the song (ala Dance Ejay) as I don't think there is one bit of creativeness in the finished songs, but what the hell!! Actually, after saving the finished song, I did run it through my music editing software and added a few of my own bits here and there in the song to make it a little more unique, so its a kind of collaboration effort!

Anyway, I'm putting it online here because I liked the finished result so much.

May I present to you - Erasure's Breathe - The Wilson Remix.

Full credits go to Erasure - Andy Bell and Vince Clarke.... The masters of synth/pop music! (and my inspiration!)

Better beta?

After serious consideration (oh, and Dan telling me that I should do it), I've opted to go with Blogger Beta. So far the switch over has been a success, (if you are looking at this, then it works!) and it doesn't look like I've lost anything. I'll see how stable this one is, and if I don't experience any problems with it, then I might just stick to it rather than code my own blog.

Speaking of betas, I've managed to get the latest Beta build of Windows Vista from a Microsoft Technet seminar (thanks Graham!). Do I risk installing it on my desktop or laptop? It comes on 2 DVD's (one for x86 systems and the other for 64bit systems). I did have a copy of an early build quite some time ago (shortly after it had renamed from Longhorn to Vista), but it wasn't that stable and made my laptop almost unusable.

Hmmmmmm...

Working again!

My blog seems to be working again - I think I may still code my own blog entirely though. In the meantime, I'll carry on using www.blogger.com

There may be trouble ahead....

Uh oh... Looks like Blogger has messed up my blog - It seems that whenever someone visits the blog, it doesnt display properly and doesn't show the more recent posts. As I write this, I'm not sure if this test post will work, but if it doesn't I think I'm going to ditch Blogger and just create my own blog from scratch on my webspace - at least it'll be more reliable!

Top of the Flops?

I just popped onto www.youtube.com and noticed that my music video isn't doing THAT bad. It was uploaded just under 2 weeks ago, and so far I have had 173 views (no they are not all from me), 3 ratings and a grand total of 4 out of 5 stars.

Stay tuned for the next song which I am working on (along with accompanying music video!)

Are you ready for your closeup?

Howdy visitors.....

I've been a keen amateur photographer for a few years now, and have quite a lot of my work available to view and rate on www.renderosity.com. I did have an online gallery with Renderosity which was available in the links section to the right of this blog, but for some reason Renderosity have changed their website, and I can't link directly to the gallery unless you (the visitor) are a member.

Soooo.... I've put together another gallery - this time in my own web-space. It has a few pictures (including some not available on Renderosity and even my own website (www.stu-wilson.com). I hope you all have a little look - don't expect anything too professional, but I like them, and want to share them with you all.
