The Wall
February 22nd, 2009
Saturday evening I attended the concert “The Wall – in its entirety” by The Australian Pink Floyd Show (or just Aussiefloyd) in the AWD-Hall in Hannover. About a year ago I already wrote about The Australien Pink Floyd Show. This band is a Pink Floyd tribute band, which wants to play the music of Pink Floyd as near to the original as possible. The Wall may not be the favorite album of each Pink Floyd fan, but live its absolutly awesome!
Before I go on with further details I want to warn you that I may spoil one or two surprises.
To the topGraphic Tablet in Gimp under Mac OS X
February 11th, 2009
When I tried my new graphic tablet in Gimp under Mac OS X, I noticed that it did not work there. After searching the web for a while I read nearly everywhere either that tablets won’t work with Apple’s X11 at all or that the work, but not the pressure sensitivity.
Luckily, all this information was outdated. To get a graphic tablet working in Gimp under Mac OS X is really easy. All you have to do is to install the newest XQuartz and Gimp versions (for the links see below).
Once this is done you go to Edit > Preferences > Input Devices > Configure Extended Input Devices in Gimp and set the devices pointer, pen, eraser to the Screen mode (the names and number of your devices may differ, if you have another tablet).
My Wacom tablet is working very well now!
