  • Preparations

    Coming for ya, originally uploaded by hellocatfood. Preparing for the Insectoid! performance in London next Thursday. Just a little preview for ya!

  • iPod Linux

    iPod Linux, originally uploaded by hellocatfood. I’ve been further experimenting with gadgets! This time I’m trying to get iPod Linux onto my iPod (who woulda thunk it!). I’m trying to get it to work so that I can install pdPod (based on PureData (a derivative of Max/MSP)) on it. To see what it’s capable…

  • New Chip Tune – Dolphins

    Project planning can get really tiresome and boring, so I spent the bulk of my evening learning how to use LSDJ better, with help from a tutorial on 8BitCollective. Here are the results: [audio:Dolphins.mp3] I’m having a few problems with the volume at the mo. You can probably hear a very quiet noise in…

  • Drawing practice

    Drawing practice, originally uploaded by hellocatfood. Even when you’ve been a practicing artist for years, it’s always good to go back and relearn something. I’m learning from the Andrew Loomis books

  • My first chiptune

    I made this quite awhile ago on Trippy H, but only now found the damn cables to show y’all. [audio:keys.mp3] It’s essentially just a loop, but that’s one of the limitations of Trippy H. My cart flasher should be arriving tomorrow so I’ll start making actual songs from then.

Cannibalizing pulp film and fiction through black…

  • I’m on the Printer

    I’m on the Printer, originally uploaded by hellocatfood. Now I’ve got a Gameboy Printer as well. Not really needed for any projects, but it’s just a bit of fun! It’s amazing how awful the quality is, but at the same time that’s what makes it so cool!

  • WordPress Theme Development

    I’ve finally updated to WordPress 2.5. Great looking interface! On a similar note I’ve finally decided that I’m going to develop my own WordPress theme. Although I have a bit of knowledge when it comes to CSS and PHP I’m not really clued up on the structure of WordPress, so have always avoided it.…

  • Rebooting

    These last three months have been the most exciting, scary and interesting months of the last few years. I’ve gone from being a student who was shoved out into the real world only to be unemployed for six months to now having steady income, lots of interesting friends and a load of upcoming interesting…
