Transparent images NOW WORKING in iTunes Coveflow

If you’re a regular user of iTunes, then you will have at least stumbled across Coverflow mode.
By way of using coverart to navigate your media, It’s a really nice way of show casing your music, TV or Movie collection.

I have gone one step further by actually using a DVD template to make my Movies look like a virtual DVD collection

This brilliant template was created by manicho and can be downloaded from here for free.
It puts your coverart into a transparent case which looks amazing. You need to use Photoshop in order to pop your coverart into the virtual case.

The problem iTunes had was that when you tried to use this image, it would take away the transparency and turn it black. This didn’t totally ruin the look, as it just looked like you had a collection of black dvd cases instead.

For months I have been looking for a solution to this problem, and it seemed that iTunes just didn’t want to accept transparency in images.

Recently this has all changed!

Transparency is now working in iTunes coverflow. I’m not sure if this was due to a new itunes version, or due to the software I’m using to insert the coverart.

I am using the tagging software Subler which is a great way to tag your movies/tv shows to organise in iTunes. It can be downloaded for free here.

In order to get transparency to work, I had to use Subler to remove the current artwork, save, re-insert the image and save again.
Refresh the coverart on your iTunes movie/tv show, by doing a “get info” on the file and the new image should now show. (if your file is under 2GB in size, you can do this all through “get info”)

You could also use transparency to show images of virtual CD’s, and there are many other uses for transparency.I’m still “non the wiser” as to why it suddenly works, so i will keep investigating.

Please let me know if you’ve had a different experience in getting transparency to work in iTunes. But for now enjoy!

iPhone 4 – Cheapest 30 day Sim Only deal with Web

With a new iPhone guranteed to be released every year, people are starting to avoid tying themselves into contracts longer than a year.

One great way to do this is to pick a sim only deal from your network of choice.

I have concentrated on finding the cheapest SIM Only deal with data included, becuase that’s what im mainly interested in.

Sim Only 30 Day Deals + web	£ p/m	internet	mins	texts
Tmobile SIM Only 10 (30 day)	10	1gb fup	100	100
giffgaff (O2) BMJT	10	unlimited	100	unlimited
Virgin £15+unlimited web (tmobile)	15	unlimited	200	unlimited
O2 simlicity 10 (My Current)	17.50	unlimited	150	300
orange	25	750 fup	600	unlimited
vodafone	20	1gb	600	3000

**fup = fair usage policy**

GiffGaff is the cheapest and best deal by far if your just interested in getting your Data

I originally was about to get the £10 Tmobile deal. But reading through forums I read that T-mobile cap the data speed on their standard tariffs including this one. In order to get high speed HSDPA you have to pay extra. I left T-Mobile a few years ago for their shady practices, and it seems they haven’t changed.

The Virgin Mobile deal isnt too shabby with 200mins, if your a Virgin Media customer they may give you an even better deal.

The cheapest 30day sim only deals Orange & Voda offer start from £20…enough said

Im currently on O2 simplicity 10 with web bolt on, but it seems like O2 have pulled simplicity 30 day sims!

So anybody looking to buy a sim only iPhone4 and doesnt want PAYG, hope this helps you make your decision

AS Monaco v PSG French Cup Quarter Final 2009-2010

Manchester Offline Tournament – 8th November 2009 (PES2010 Xbox360)

Had a lot of fun today, twas a superb event, just what the PES community is all about. Thanks Keyser

Surprised myself with my performance today, i had a pretty solid defence conceding only 5 goals all day .

Best game was against Pure, after beating him in the group stage soundly, he picked himself back up and fought back to beat me in the quarters, you got a lot of heart!

I enjoyed watching the final, a great performance from Menace scoring some superb goals, and fully deserved winner 

Also was nice to meet the lads from scotland, definitely have to come to a glasgow tourney sometime

PES Career

BPEG
I Started going to Events just after PES4 was released. My first event was the BPEG (Birmingham Pro Evolution Guild), which was a group that was formed from the Konami PES National League. Birmingham’s finest would meet monthly and slug it out to be crowned the best in Birmingham. My first BPEG was a nervy one back in January 2005, an unknown quantity stepping into the frame, but I also proved a dangerous one, as I became the champion that day.

From that day I never looked back, and went onto win many more PES tournaments, eventually becoming the most prolific BPEG champion, winning the most titles and becoming 8 time champion, and also the only 3 times consecutive champion.

Sadly in August 2008 BPEG was disbanded. The creator of the guild, Matt Barr after his many years of giving and hard work to the PES community decided to call it a day. Thanks to Matt Barr, Chris Stokes (Makenshi), and Mark Farrington (Farrmark) for organizing such great events. Click Here for a list of the BPEG Roll of Honour, all the winners of BPEG tournaments.

I Don’t Give A What – A PES2009 Compilation

Latest PES Video from this years installation of PES.  Hasnt been the best year for PES with Fifa’s 09 actually being the better game, but that didn’t stop us from scoring some great goals. My team of PES2009 was Juve. Del Piero & Trezeguet up front were unstoppable.  They also suited my 3-5-2 formation perfectly with strong centre backs, a good selection of wingbacks and Sissoko/Nedved as holding Midfielders.  Giovinco was decent as the attacking midfielder, and will be even better in PES2010.  Oh and how can I forget Buffon, still the best keeper on PES by far!

Formation is below the video.  Enjoy
