This tutorial shows how to create a cool effect that I might use to give a nice torn paper edge effect to the fiberous paper blog-roll that I have been thinking about implementing as the background to my blogs here.
My MacBook Pro has been misbehaving of late – whilst other computers and my iPhone can faultlessly connect to any WiFi network, my MBP seems to grow tired of networks over a time period; First it started dropping connection to my Netgear wifi access point at home. Sometimes it would connect and wouldn’t get an IP address, other times it would appear to connect, but I couldn’t ..read more »
