That one made me smile, but my favorite was Let My People Go Wiz. :lol:
Wow, somehow I missed that one. :lol:

...yeah Theraflu tends to knock me out good. I only need one cup before turning in. Does help a lot though
I've been sleeping a lot but it's doing me a world of good. I feel "decent" today but I don't want to share this with the office... blech.. what a Christmas gift to hand out. :ahhh:
I was afraid of this:

Loos like I might stop on Windows with Win7 on my laptop, and start seeing about getting my stuff running on Linux.. or switch to Houdini, which has a Linux version and will load OBJs. All I'm using DS for at this point is album and track art... :blank:
*curses profusely*
I present to you, a light ambient piece.. "Reversi":

:coolsmile:
I need to spend a lot more time with PS CS2, I onoy need to do abstracts for track/album covers so.. 2D is a heck of a lot faster.
Time to learn how to use brushes... :blank: :blank:
ps. Anyone know of a good tutorial on how to use Rons Brushes? :red:
...cloud based subscription OS? huh? I bet it will have to "phone home" every time you boot up via that security screen door known as IE.
Bugger, I really don't want to be forced into becoming an unpaid sysop by having to migrate to Linux. For all it's faults, at least Windows is simple to use. I turn on my system and I'm ready to go.
Ugh FF updated to ver. 34 on me this morning. Accidentally clicked the wrong button last night when the update window popped up on the screen. Thought I was quick enough to cancel it but guess not. Stupid thing keeps defaulting to Yahoo when I do a search even though I keep changing it to Google. Slower in all operations too.
Woo hoo, I just made my first comet in Photoshop! :cheese: :cheese: :cheese:
Amazing that a few minutes on YouTube sill get you... :blank:
More to watch... oh boy, learning time.. :bug:
Morning. Gloomy start to the day with soft lit city towers reaching out to luminous grey overcast as if to push it back and let the sun shine iin. A mob of Mynah birds squabbling over scraps ignoring completely flocks of seagulls winging their way inland on a stiffening south breeze, perhaps there is a storm blowing up beyond the hazy horizon :)
:red: :red: :red: :red:
Thise guys were right into the music, hope they remembered the page when they got to where they were going :)
still pouring buckets. my bus stop will be under ankle deep water. why did i come today? woes
Time to go home now.
Same here. Raining and raining.
Doesn't sound TOO unpleasant, don't get washed away!
Sounds like you need hip waders at work! :ahhh:
Nothing like a fresh-brewed cup of Twilight Blend dark roast for an afternoon pick-up! :)
Woah, Photoshop! :bug: Even though I only have CS2, the dang thing can do tons of stuff I never even thought of...!
Gotta love YouTube tutorials... ;-)
Soup for dinner soon.. I think I'll go for the Italian Florentine soup. :cheese:
...ow, joints complaining something fierce today . Would like to take my "good med" (the one that actually works) but that makes me a bit sleepy and it's only 14:20 here. Not so much cold, but big pressure drop of almost 1" over the next 36 hours with lots of rain in the forecast.
...sounds nice and warming (both the coffee and the soup). Have some potato and bacon soup in the cupboard. need sanny stuff though to go with it. Sun keeps poking out, maybe a quick trip to the market is in order before the really nasty stuff hits later.
I only have CS2 as well...can't afford the upgrade, for a long time now. I have a boatload (appropriate for today's weather) of British magazines on Photoshop that come with CDs with tutorials and reviews and free content (brushes, actions, etc.). Unfortunately I haven't been of the mind to learn anything with them. They sit. I've been struggling with one thing and not getting very far, at least in my estimation. But there's a lot there. Those Brits love their CDs with their magazines! There are several guitar magazines they produce with CDs, too. They have equipment reviews, tutorials - in different styles, backing tracks of popular tunes to play a long with. Some great stuff.

I'm a big fan of "Blitzshopping", run out, grab as much as fits in a backpack, then dash home.

CS2 is a pretty deep tool. I just today learned about the Free Transform tool, I had no idea! And Stroke Layers, which let you put a gradient as a brush color.. I'm starting to see how Photoshop tricks can make amazing things happen!
Maybe I can 'Shop my pic and look like brad Pitt! :ahhh: :ahhh:
I used to get Guitar World a long time ago, it came with a CD.. wow, back in the day..

Yeah, Guitar World, Total Guitar, Guitarist. And for Photoshop it's Photoshop Creative, Advanced Photoshop and there was one other that I can't remember. Plus Photoshop User, but that didn't have a CD...but there were plenty of tutorials.

Hey the water didn't turn out too bad, the bumps need whatever the reverse is of what's attenuating them to make smaller right near the fish and bigger as the distance from the fish increases (shark?) Sharks are all over TV here, a sure sign of Summer altho is more like tropical winter here today :)
Excuse me, I seem to have a frog in my throat.

...for me it was hobble the mile to the market, shop, hobble the mile back from the market. Feet aching today as well. Could have just gone down the street to the neighbourhood natural market, but would he ended up spending more than twice as much for the same stuff. Plus I get a 5% senior's discount on Tuesdays at the market I went to. Sitting down for while then it's potato soup with a grilled Swiss & Genoa Salami sanny on sweet Hawai'ian bread.
....nice, but they totalled Grand Central. Crikey, if Superheroes were in the real world causing that much collateral damage, FEMA's budget would make the DOD's look like a kid's allowance.
Didn't wear OTK boots then? ;-)
....[walks in, hears footsteps echoing]
Ah, ended up spending part of the night in local historical research.
While walking home from the market earlier today something caught both my eye and interest. Currently, the city is in the process of resurfacing one of the streets along the route I walk (NE 28th) and had just ground away the top layers of the road surface, reveling in some places, an old red brick street which had streetcar rails. Never knew there was a streetcar line on this street as usually most if not all of the old traction lines were converted to present day bus routes (and there is no bus running there today). So after finishing dinner sat down to look up information on the city's former streetcar network. Most of what I initially found concerned the "Portland Streetcar" (a new line that was built several years ago) so it took a fair mount of digging around until I finally came across a site that detailed all the old lines the city had with maps of their routes.
Now a few blocks from where I live is a building known as the Old Burnside Trolley Barn (since converted to offices) which is next to the neighbourhood cinema. To my surprise Burnside St. (the major street in that runs through the neighbourhood from Downtown and Northwest Portland). didn't actually have line that came this far uptown. I know that sounds strange as one would have expected most major thoroughfares in the day to have a streetcar line on them.
The main E-W route though the neighbourhood actually paralleled E Burnside a block to the south along E (now SE) Ankeny St. (the street I live on). The only time it travelled on Burnside was to cross the river from downtown after which it turned south. There were actually two lines that operated along the street, the "Ankeny" line and the "Montavilla" line both of which turned north at 28th ave. The tracks I saw on NE 28th were from the end of the Ankeny line which terminated about block from NE Broadway (where the entrance to car park for the market I go to is). The Montavilla Line meanwhile travelled along 28th for only 6 blocks before turning onto E (now NE) Glisan St to head east through the then "new" Laurelhurst development. That line basically became the current #19 bus route (though the bus stayed on Burnside to 28th after crossing the river instead turning a block south to Ankeny like the streetcars did).
Fascinating, lived in the neighbourhood for 16 years and was not aware of this.
Today, Ankeny below 28th seems an uncharacteristically wide street for what is today a quiet residential area. The width of course was to accommodate the streetcars along with other traffic (horse and later auto). Ankeny St. was also designated as the city's first "bike boulevard" years ago offering cyclists a much safer safer alternative to the faster heavily trafficked Burnside St. to and from downtown and the Eastbank area.
I have always been fascinated by the local history of the places I lived.
