This week I've been working on a case from a customer who was migrating his web application to Windows 2003, and while on the old servers (Windows 2000) and on his development machine everything was working fine (as usual ), after deployment on the production server he got a nasty "ActiveX component can't create object" error message, and was not able to fix it.
The troubleshooting started from the usual and maybe most obvious possible causes (component registration, permissions etc...), but we soon realized the problem was not that obvious as we expected. The application was made by a custom ActiveX VB6 object which internally referenced other custom dlls and msrdo20.dll; this was then embedded into a .aspx page to show some use interface in IE to the end user. The customer sent me his application to try to reproduce the problem on my machine, and at the first run I got exactly the same error message he reported! Ah Ah! I got you! On my machine I got rid of it registering all the involved components, something we already tried on the phone, but worth another check. I came back to the customer and set up an EasyAssist session to carefully check his server's configuration to spot (and fix) the problem... but things went a bit differently. Everything was looking fine, so we decided to build a smaller sample to check if at least we were able to instantiate other ActiveX: we tried to work with msrdo20.dll directly, and that also failed with the same error.
We then decided to capture a crash dump with adplus to have a full dump on the exception (we used the command "adplus -crash -iis -FullOnFirst" to obtains a full dump on first chance exceptions), and to make a long story short, after analyzing the dump (and digging into the VB6 runtime with the help of my colleague Carlo Colombo, Escalation Engineer in the COM+ team) we came to the conclusion that the runtime was trying to read the CLSID for msrdo20.dll in the wrong registry hive, HKEY_USER instead that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as expected. By the way, that also could explain the reason why running the same code and loading the same msrdo20.dll in a WinForm application worked fine: the desktop app was able to find the CLSID for the component and to load it, while the web app does not have access to some registry hives... the customer already sent us a copy of its system registry to check the various CLSID involved, and a quick search confirmed our assumption: we found the CLSID 9A8831F0-A263-11D1-8DCF-00A0C90FFFC2 (msrdo20.dll) under HKEY_USER and not under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. I forgot to mention that we were in a absolute hurry, because the application was supposed to to go live exactly that evening...
Anyway, at that point we needed to confirm our theory: I called the customer to explain our findings and ask him to manually register (with regsvr32) msrdo20.dll, but a quick search in the registry showed that nothing was changed, we were in the same situation. Then I asked him to login as the Domain Administrator (which he was logger as the Local Administrator on the server) and check again: this did the trick! The CLSID was finally created under the right registry hive, and another quick test from a client confirmed the application was then able to instantiate the ActiveX... Eureka!
In trying to understand the reason for the HKEY_USERS registration, one theory might be the following: msrdo20.dll is installed through an MSI package. The MSI technology has the possibility to do a per-user or per-machine installation, or a "per machine, but fallback to per-user if per-machine fails" (ALLUSERS property set to 2): see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa371865.aspx. If the user running the MSI package is not an admin, he won't have write permissions to HKCR\CLSID so per-machine registration will fail and we'll fail back to per-user installation. In per-user installation the registration is made in the HKEY_USERS registry hive: see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370813.aspx.
Thanks a lot to Carlo Colombo for his assistance on this one!

Audio Mixers: Josh Williams; Kurt Storey.
Liner Note Author: Robert K. Oermann.
Recording information: Burns Station Sound, Burns, TN; Top Dog Studios, Franklin, TN.
Photographer: Michael Witcher.
In 2010, Josh Williams received the most prestigious honor in his long career: the International Bluegrass Music Association's "Emerging Artist of the Year" award, despite the fact that he'd been playing professionally since he was ten. To make things even stranger, he hadn't even issued a recording under his own name in five years. The work for Down Home began for Pinecastle in 2006, and was scheduled for a February 2009 release. However, due to the failing health of owner Tom Riggs, the label shut down and the disc was shelved. Rounder eventually purchased it. Williams produced the set himself, and chose 12 songs that range from traditional bluegrass to old-school country, written by legendary songwriters: Jimmy Martin, the Delmore Brothers, Tom T. Hall, Flatt & Scruggs, Vern Gosdin, Tommy Jackson, and Carl Jackson, to mention a few. Williams plays guitar, mandolin, and banjo, and sings lead in his open tenor. He is backed by an all-star unit that includes alternating bassists Mickey Harris and Tim Dishman, banjoists Greg Cahill and Aaron McDaris, fiddlers Jason Carter and Stuart Duncan, guitarist Randy Kohrs, and pedal steel boss Doug Jernigan. There is also a guest performance by Tony Rice on the stellar, swinging "Blue Railroad Train." Rage bandmate Rhonda Vincent provides harmony vocals on three of the albums best cuts: opener "Lonesome Feeling," "Kodak 1955," and "Polka on the Banjo." Tommy Jackson's "Cherokee Shuffle," features Williams on all three of his instruments backed by Duncan and Harris in a dizzying display or musicianship. The uptempo bluegrass reading of Homer Joy's classic "Streets of Bakersfield" is presented in a striking arrangement with Kenny Ingram on fiddle juxtaposed against Jernigan's steel. Williams' playing throughout is typically astonishing. Though capable of throwing down with the very best on any of his chosen instruments, he never plays more than necessary to get a song across. Check the title track written by Carl Jackson; it's a ballad with wonderful interplay between Williams' guitar and mandolin, Duncan's fiddle, and Jernigan's steel; the harmonies by the author, Williams, and Tina Adair are deeply moving. Ultimately, Down Home is the fulfillment of the vast potential Williams has shown throughout his career as both a sideman and a solo artist. ~ Thom Jurek

VIDEO FOOTAGE showing a naked grandmother being dragged out of her home by armed police officers has caused widespread outrage in America.
The clip shows 48-year-old Denise Stewart being arrested by heavy-handed officers from the New York Police Department (NYPD) in the stairwell of her Brooklyn apartment and has once again brought the force into disrepute.
Just last month, a man died after officers from the same New York department placed him in a chokehold when trying to arrest him.
Eric Garner's death was later ruled as homicide.
Over a dozen police officers were called to Stewart's apartment around 11.45pm on July 15, following a 911 call for a domestic disturbance.
The NYPD squad deployed claim they were not given an apartment number but after hearing shouting from Stewarts apartment, knocked the door and demanded entry to investigate.
Stewart, who had just left the shower, opened the door wearing only a towel to inform the police they had the wrong address.
After her refusal to allow police officials entry, it is alleged she was then forcibly dragged to the hallway. The footage taped by neighbour shows the chaotic scene that ensued before Stewart was arrested. The commotion resulted in her towel being removed.
After being restrained and handcuffed by male officers, the mother-of-four is propped up.
For approximately two minutes and 20 seconds, Stewart is shown bare-breasted in the hallway as additional police officers pass through the hallway, glancing at her.
Stewart, who suffers from asthma, can also be seen losing consciousness as she becomes increasingly distressed. Onlookers in the back can be heard saying "Yo, her mother got asthma ...y'all wicked"
It is only after Stewart pleads with the officers, "Oxygen, get my oxygen," that an officer is prompted to retrieve her asthma pump.
Speaking to the Daily News, Stewart said: "It's disgusting and embarrassing. I've been married 16 years. It took my husband 10 years to see my nakedness," she said. "I didn't do nothing wrong."
A police spokesman said the incident is under investigation by Internal Affairs. According to the NYPD, the version of events alludes that Stewart's 12-year-old daughter had "visible injuries" to her face. She told officers her mother and older sister beat her with a belt, police said.
Family members tried to prevent them from arresting Stewart, who bit an officer's finger during the struggle.
Stewart's lawyer, Amy Rameau, said she was told by a Legal Aid attorney also assigned to the case that the 911 call came from a different apartment on an upper floor — and police officers went to Stewart's door by mistake.
Following the event, Stewart was charged with assaulting a police officer. Her 20-year-old daughter, Diamond, has been charged with resisting arrest, acting in a manner injurious to a child and criminal possession of a weapon.
Stewart's son Kirkland, 24, was also charged with resisting arrest.
The 12-year-old and alleged victim of abuse was charged with assaulting a police officer, criminal mischief and criminal possession of a weapon.
Diamond Stewart's 4-year-old son was allegedly pepper sprayed by a female officer, the family said.
This incident follows a string of police related altercations and criticisms of the NYPD for excessive use of force.

We believe that the answer lies in leveraging the power and ubiquitous nature of digital technologies and within the Health Lab, one of our core aims is to accelerate the use of safe and effective digital innovations in the health and care context.
Our digital health programming includes supporting a few exemplary projects within the Centre for Social Action Innovation Fund including Body and Soul's Beyond Boundaries.
Beyond Boundaries was launched earlier this year as Body and Soul's new national peer and professional support service for young people living with HIV delivered through Skype and over the phone.
We invited Bianca Karpf, Body and Soul's Public Health Partnerships and Programmes Manager, to share some reflections in her role as the programme delivery lead.
Broadening our reach
This has been an extremely exciting new venture for Body & Soul, as a charity working with children, young people and families living with or affected by HIV in London as it has enabled us to remove the barriers to accessing our services that some young vulnerable people face. The programme has allowed us to expand our services to young people across the country and built on and strengthened our use of digital technology to support people living with HIV.
Peer Coaches
Beyond Boundaries is partly delivered through our team of incredible Peer Coaches. Inherent to the programme is the support and training we provide to these Peer Coaches to enable them to deliver impactful peer support. Here is the story of one of our Peer Coaches, Hakeem, which brings to life the impact of Beyond Boundaries from a peer mentor perspective.
Hakeem is a 17 year old Teen Spirit member who has been attending Body & Soul regularly for a few years and who was recently recruited as a Peer Coach for 'Beyond Boundaries'. Hakeem has a cohort of teenaged mentees whom he supports on a range of issues surrounding medication, relationships, education and status disclosure. He has attended monthly training sessions – one on developing self-awareness as a peer coach, and active listening and questioning skills. He has also engaged with training on advocacy for young people and addressing challenging conversations surrounding other chronic illnesses and counselling needs.
Young people are not always in the space to connect on a weekly basis and although Hakeem has found this challenging at times, he has shown resilience regardless and shown considerable commitment to the role and developing his skills in a relatively short space of time.
Hakeem has been exceptionally proactive in reflecting upon his HIV journey. Becoming a Peer Coach has further helped Hakeem learn about himself . Most significantly, when Hakeem started attending Teen Spirit, he hoped to pursue further studies in Sociology and the Media.
However, since becoming a mentor, he has now decided to embark on a career he might not have considered in Youth Mentoring where he has developed a passion for listening to others and providing a safe space for them to explore their vulnerabilities.
Through Hakeem's journey from a member to a mentor, he has gained the confidence to grow both personally and academically, inspiring him to aspire beyond his status or in his words see '….that there is light at the end of the tunnel in a haven that I have not been able to find elsewhere'.
So how can young people living with HIV in one part of the country use their lived experience to support others with HIV in another part of the country? We believe Body and Soul's Beyond Boundaries programme is one digital innovation that looks to answer this question and we are excited to see its long term impact.

Hello dear typophiles community,
A client asked me to use a font for his logo that he found on dafont (doh…)
The one is "Little Days" and supposed to be freeware.
However, reading its comments I've discovered it's extremely similar to this commercial font Memimas.
Looking forward, I've fallen on this article by Luc Devroye. He claims it's not a copy, but I must admit I find his arguments totally wrong.
I'd like to know your point of view. How would you understand the relation between "Little Days" and "Memimas"? Do you feel Devroye's arguments are solid?
Thank you
PS: I do not know M. Devroye nor both fonts' authors.

With Artisan's Effect markers, you can easily transform a wooden cutout from your local hobby store into fabulous holiday décor.
I painted a wood cutout with chalkboard paint:
And...the last part was also easy. I used white and blue Artisan's Effect Chalk Markers to draw the lines of the snowflake and then write some of our family's favorite things about winter in the middle of the piece. Just as I did with the pumpkin piece from my earlier blog about Fall décor, I placed the snowflake cutout in the middle of a green holiday wreath I already had. I placed a few sparkling flower picks into the wreath and weaved some ribbon on the edge of the wreath. You can use any holiday ornaments you would like to customize your own look. Artisan's Effect markers make it easy to draw and write on various objects to make your own décor for your own custom look and in a less expensive way.

Switch to commission-only pay is probably legal
DEAR CARRIE: I have worked for a local company for 17 years and always received both a salary and commission. Recently, my company made me commission only because it said I shouldn't be earning a salary. Is this legal? -- Pay Daze
DEAR PAY: It's probably legal, and I hope your employer let you know months in advance so you could prepare for such a dramatic change.
New York State labor law recognizes commission-only salespeople. It defines a commissioned salesperson as "an employee whose principal activity includes sales and who is paid, in whole or part, on a commission basis."
"As such, paying an individual solely on a commission basis is not in and of itself unlawful," said employment attorney Howard Wexler, an associate at Seyfarth Shaw in Manhattan.
Now is a good time for you to familiarize yourself with labor laws that employers must follow regarding commission-only employees.
"First and foremost, the labor law requires that a commissioned salesperson's employment agreement be in writing and signed by both the employer and the salesperson," Wexler said.
The written agreement must contain such things as a description of how wages, commissions and all other monies will be calculated; how often the employee will be paid, and details regarding payment of wages and other monies owed to a salesperson who leaves the company.
In general, the employer must pay wages according to the terms of the written commission agreement, and must pay the employee at least once a month, Wexler said. And earned commissions must be paid by the last day of the month after the month in which the commission was earned. In other words, a commission earned in March must be paid by the end of April.
In addition, a commissioned salesperson who is nonexempt, which generally means hourly, must be paid minimum wage as well as overtime, the latter of which comes into play when they work more than 40 hours a week.
"If a nonexempt commissioned salesperson's draw [or advance] and commissions do not equal or exceed the amount computed as the minimum wage for the agreed pay period, the employer must make up the difference on the same payday," he said.
Outside salespeople and sales managers are exempt from overtime and even minium wage.
DEAR CARRIE: I earn both vacation and sick time. Can my employer dictate which I have to use if I stay home because of bad weather? I am fortunate that my company pays all employees if it officially closes because of bad weather. But if it opens despite the weather and I choose to stay home, I have to use a vacation day to cover my absence. Only after I exhaust those days can I dip into accrued sick time to cover a bad-weather absence. Is this legal, or should employees be able to decide whether they want to use vacation time or sick time? -- Which Day?
DEAR WHICH DAY: I always feel like the bearer of bad news when employees ask benefit questions. Absent a union contract that says otherwise, your employer can legally stipulate which paid time-off days you have to use first to cover an absence. Labor laws don't require employers to offer benefits, so companies that do can set the terms.
It may not seem like it, but your employer is actually doing you a favor by allowing you to cover a bad-weather absence with paid time off. By law the company doesn't have to pay you when you miss the day. Additionally, you mentioned that when inclement weather forces the company to close, it still pays employees. That generosity is not as common as you may think.

On August 23, 2014, the APDM Parent Teacher Association (PTA) conducted a meeting to discuss the details of a fundraising event entitled: "Think Green: A Garage, Food and Bingo Fair." The PTA, with the vision of upgrading and enhancing school facilities, agreed that the event will be held on March 1, 2015, Sunday at the APDM School Grounds.
Further, it was discussed in the meeting that there should be three working committees. Mr. Toti Lara and Mrs. Tet Buenvenida headed the Garage Sale Committee, Mrs. Orange Erazo led the Food Fair Committee and Mrs. Lynie Lee represented the Bingo Committee.
The said activity aimed to hone and develop the skills of students and instill in them an early sense of entrepreneurship and environmental and health consciousness. This endeavor surely created an avenue for families and friends to bond for a good cause while promoting the student's holistic development and welfare.

Col. Alberto C. Gonzalez, an Ahwatukee Foothills resident, was promoted to brigadier general in a recent ceremony at Russell Auditorium in the Joint Force Headquarters Building.
Gonzalez's promotion comes with both increased rank and responsibility from chief of staff of the Arizona Army National Guard to the position of assistant adjutant general, commander of the Arizona Army National Guard.
Gonzalez said he is very excited about his new role and the National Guard's role in Arizona: "It's not just about fighting the fight; the Arizona Army National Guard is also here to take care of Arizona's citizens."
The auditorium was packed with service members from all over the state who came to support Gonzalez's ascension to general. In addition, his family and friends were able to participate. Gonzalez shared humbling remarks crediting soldiers for where he is today.
His mother, Ana Maria, removed his infantry crossed rifles and his wife, Danielle, and father, Armando, pinned on his new rank. Gonzalez's brother, Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Armando Gonzalez, Jr., presented him with his Army brigadier during the ceremony.
Gonzalez graduated from the University of Arizona's Reserve Officer Training Corps in 1987, afterwards serving on active duty for 10 years in both infantry and intelligence officer positions.
In 1988 Gonzalez joined the Arizona Army National Guard and since then has been in various commands and was deployed once to Kosovo and Macedonia, and twice to Afghanistan.

Marist Father, member of Society of Mary (S.M.), a Roman Catholic religious congregation founded in 1816 in the diocese of Belley, Fr., by Jean-Claude Courveille and Jean-Claude-Marie Colin to undertake all ministerial works—parishes, schools, hospital chaplaincies, and the foreign missions—while stressing the virtues of the Virgin Mary. Its foreign missions, the acceptance of which was the chief reason for its approval by Rome in 1836, embrace the islands of the South Pacific (the congregation's original mission field), Japan, Algeria, Peru, and Venezuela. Stemming from the Marist Fathers are the Marist Brothers, the Marist Sisters, the Missionary Sisters of the Society of Mary, and the Marist Third Order.

Album of the Week: The Lil' Band O' Gold
Louisiana swamp-pop outfit The Lil' Band O' Gold return with a raft of talented singers on this, their loving tribute to Antoine 'Fats' Domino. Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant, Lucinda Williams, Ani Difranco and Australia's Jimmy Barnes and Tim Rogers all take on microphone duties, joining founders C C Adcock, Steve Reily and drummer Warren Storm for a rollicking tour through the back catalogue of one of New Orleans' most famous pioneers of R&B and rock and roll. The result is an unselfconscious, riotous celebration of some of the foundation stones of late twentieth century popular music.

nancylee replied to nancylee's topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkThank you! One question: if I'm making it from 4 slabs, what do you mean when you say make the entire box as one piece? Thanks!
Ways To Make Square Forms\Urns
nancylee posted a topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkI make a lot of urns, but I swear, one day I can center, then I cant center for a week. So I want to make square forms. Every template I see gives me 90 degree corners where slabs meet. I want a square form with somewhat rounded corners. Does that have to be thrown on the wheel and altered? I really like handbuilding and want to start making my urns like square ones with rounded corners. Thanks in advance, nancy

Who Of You Is Making Funeral Urns?
nancylee replied to Evelyne Schoenmann's topic in Aesthetic Approaches and PhilosophyI make dog and cat urns and once in a while, im asked to make an urn for a human. I started and ran my own dog rescue, actively, for about 5 years. I brought up around 3000 dogs and puppies from brutal, high kill shelters in the south. When I had to cut back due to financial and emotional reasons, I started making custom urns and donating the profits,to other dog rescues. I feel it is a sacred honor. The hardest urn to make was for a 15 year old girl who,died from a lung illness. It said BREATHE on it. I was fine until I was packing it. Then I cried for hours. I hope that urn brings her Mom some solace. nancy
Helene Fielder's work
nancylee posted a topic in Clay and Glaze ChemistryIs anyone familiar with Helene Fielder's work? I love her clay body and glazes. I read somewhere that it is high fire? It doesnt look like it is gas fired. And I'm not familar with high fire darker clays. Any info on the clay type appreciated. I'd like a darker clay body at a higher cone. Thanks!

The BUSINESS of Pottery
nancylee replied to Chris Campbell's topic in Business, Marketing, and AccountingI would like to add in my 2 cents to what Mea said about how you are willing to live. I just decided that I probably need to put 4 more years in to my job to get a decent retirement, because there is NO WAY i will make a living with my jewelry and pottery. I had better do it for love, cause the $$ isnt there. Part of the reason is that I'm tired: I'm 55, I have been running a side business/businesses for 20 years, and I'm just exhausted when I get home from teaching. I just don't have it in me to go in my studio for 4 or 8 hours to make the number of pots I would have to make to make a living. Another reason is that after living a basically middle class life on my job for 30 years, I don't want to have to give things up to do this full time. That makes me feel bad, and shallow, but I like my lifestyle. It's pretty simple, but I don't want for much. And I have insurance for life. And I can afford to take workshops and keep learning, and I love learning! I think this is why so many artists are teachers. But I started this only 7 years ago, then fell in love with metalsmithing jewelry, too, so there arent enough hours in my days to do it all. Sad. But I finally have admitted it. I can't quit the day job until I'm 60.
What's Considered A Good Amount In Dollars To Sell At A Day Art Show?
nancylee replied to bluecreekpottery's topic in Business, Marketing, and AccountingI have done a few shows that cost $500 for 2 to 3 days. No more. I am sticking to shows at my level that are more local and less expensive. Easier to make my $$ back.
Canton, Mississippi Flea Market
nancylee replied to DirtRoads's topic in Business, Marketing, and AccountingThis is a great post. Lots to think about here. And if you are a great potter and a bad marketer (and your work looks lovely, BTW, not talking to you at all with this comment!) you know what you are? Working elsewhere. There is a woman who does videos on Branding, renae something, and your marketing of taking the best things in three colors is just what she says. She has other good info on three levels of price as well. I'm so ADD, i have stuff all over the place, no coherence at all, and it confuses people. You really have it together! I am excited with some solid ideas after reading this! Thank you and Congratulations!
Weekly schedule
nancylee replied to Kroraven's topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkI am a pretty hard worker. I have had a full time job AND a side gig for almost 20 years and regularly work 70 to 80 hours a week. Just looking at your work schedule makes me want to go lie down.

The inaugural Writer's Room Podcast, recorded back in February, is called The Lost One. The reason for this is that my hasty decision to record said podcast via iPhone turned out to be ill-advised. About an hour through the stream I realized the phone was about to die, so I plugged in the charger, at which point the phone wigged out and the recording light went off. I looked at my list of recordings, and the most recent entry, aka the podcast, had a lovely running time of 0s.
Fantastic. Now we had to do this again.
So we did, and quickly glossed over every point and subject we had just talked about in much broader detail. And that was the first podcast we ever did.
It should be noted that I am a wildly disorganized person. I have enough disjointed thoughts running through my ADHD addled brain at any given moment that I rarely find time to put them in their proper places. So, in my exhaustion, I let things pile up messily until I can't take it anymore and spend a day sifting through my self-imposed rubble.
It should also be noted that if the collection of random voice memos I have were transferred to analog tape, they'd fill a small frigate. Name them, you say? Keep them tidy in their own digital folder? Nahhh, I'll let them float whimsically around my hard drive in their default "day/month/year time" format so not only are they all over the place, but unless I click on them individually, I have absolutely no inclination as to what the fuck they even contain.
Fast forward to today. I finally have a little time off from work, so the day has basically been spent swimming around my audible trash trying to cherry pick the moments I like for use in the pink revisions of The Hudson Avenue Chronicles.
In digging through this exorbitant collection, I seem to have stumbled upon what turned out to be that fateful, missing podcast. Don't know how, perhaps some reformatting went down during the computer sync. It's best not to question such things. Despite now being woefully out of date, I feel it's worth a post given the extra detail we went into about our various plans and projects for the year that you didn't get to hear on the abridged re-recording.
So, here it is:

Including some old Kriegspeiler and Tigerart stuff.
Introduction or Confession of the Obsession
(Click on the images for full view)
Part of my Thirty Years War collection - a more recent project - this being the pike and command element of an Imperialist regiment (possibly Saxon?) with an Essex mounted officer as accompanying general and using a mixture of figures including Old Glory (some of the best they made in my opinion) Foundry and a Dixon standard bearer - the fourth figure (musician) for the command stand being replaced by a scavenged GW drum and hat.
Some of the nicer figures in the collection - Perrys - their ECW Falconet guns are the only ones I've seen where the crews are in the unusual pose of actually handling the guns. Perry Miniatures are some of the finest made and their new 40mm line set the next standard in figure making with each figure itself a stunningly detailed work of art.
One of my favourite TYW era armies - the Poles. This lot are some of the famous Winged Hussars - mostly Elite(?) figures - an unusual and fascinating army to collect.
Some of my more recent stuff - 40mm Sash and Sabre Peninsular French - this lot done as the Colour Party and Grenadier Company of the 63rd Ligne.

In a previous life I was the editor and publisher of the now defunct 'Kriegspieler' wargaming magazine along with my business partner and fellow Aussie lead-head Doug Walsh. It was a good thing for a short while and we like to think it set a high benchmark for such publications in the region BUT it was never a 'goer' in a commercial sense and like many other similar military history magazines before and since (for which Australia seems to be a graveyard) it folded after only a few issues. Nonetheless, for a brief while it showed what could be done - I believe the results of our not inconsiderable efforts may still be available to see on the redoubtable Russ Lockwood's MagWeb site.
As a wargamer myself and a keen amateur military historian (with a graphic design background!) the work of publishing a mag for wargamers was more a labour of love. That aside, the part of the hobby I enjoyed most was the figure painting which went hand-in-hand with the historical research, particularly into the armies, the uniforms etc. To this end I was encouraged to paint armies by my former business partner Doug, who seems to have a freakish ability to source (and sell) almost any type of 25mm and more recently, 40mm army. These cover almost every historical era and were sold mainly to buyers in the UK and America with my paint-jobs identified on the bases as 'Tigerart' - the name taken from my old graphics business.
While I'm unlikely to ever get rich from it (and lets face it - who in the hobby does?) it has provided me with the means to afford it. The end result of about ten years of collecting and painting is several thousands of figures from a number of historical periods - predominantly Napoleonic - and also including a number of Games Workshop fantasy armies; collected and painted for my kids of course!
I don't get to wargame much these days as I'm tied up with work and family - with many of my 'straight' art projects languishing until retirement - I'm squeezing painting time in between everything else it seems (although I'm sure my wife would say its the other way 'round!) - so the main purpose of this site is to showcase some of my collection and the projects I have undertaken, both for myself and others. In addition to the photos of my work I hope also to include some artwork and articles written for publications like Kriegspieler and other things in a similar military historical vein, including links to stuff on the web that I find useful and/or interesting.
I hope you enjoy my site - feel free to email me with any comments, suggestions or to share a common interest in what I find to be a fascinating hobby (NB: spouse translation - obsession!)
Click here to see the latest 40mm figures.
This is the first of my pages and will be linked to others as described above as they are added to my site.
