(more…)New Website Hosting
I have moved my website to a new host – krystal.co.uk
I had felt my site getting slower and slower, particularly in the back office dashboard of wordpress. My GTmetrix scores were getting lower and lower.
I’d realised most of the slowness was down to server time and thought there was not a lot I could do about that, but then I checked out my old ISP.
They were great when I joined them, but when I investigated, they had been taken over by a large outfit and I could date all the new problems I’d had to that time.
I finally got my site up and running with krystal last night and I’m now scoring As and Bs where I was scoring Es and Fs before.
The site feels so light and airy to work with and I have plans for expansion!
Watch this space!
Review of the Neo TourBox photo and video editing console – a must-have accessory!
In this video, I review of the TourBox Editing Controller, a must have accessory for creatives and digital artists working with Photoshop, LightRoom, inDesign and any other app or program you can think of using on a desktop computer that Neo sent to me to try out.
It will also do the same amazing job with Serif Affinity Photo, Publisher and Designer too.
It’s possibly the best designer’s tool since the Swann Morton 10a scalpel blade!

I get a referral fee that helps me keep my YouTube drawing channel going, but honestly, I love this thing and really do recommend it to speed up your work flow.
The TourBox organises all those keyboard shortcuts into one simple box.
Functions like scroll, increase/decrease brush size and rotate canvas angle are changed with easy to use knobs and scrollers.
The buttons can all be programmed to suit the exact way YOU use a program. There is a four keystroke function that I use in inDesign everyday that used to twist my fingers up, but now it is a simple one button click. With the Enter button next to it, I save so much time with my particular workflow.
I love it and whole heartedly recommend it to anyone using creative programs, or any programs for that matter – you can assign the TourBox to any open app.
