The frustration joy of new software fills me with anger and satisfaction. Anger at my own lack of knowledge regarding any kind of image software, and satisfaction that I can figure it out if I just keep poking at the fucking thing. Witness my first great triumph! (It is a custom splash screen* for The GIMP software I used to make it!) Now I get to go home and figure out how to install the damn program on my Apple G4. Fun.
Tip o' the hat to the amazing blog mistress of Faux Real for giving me the final kick in the ass I needed to devote enough time and energy to actually learning an image editor thingy. She's great, go read her . . . please?


UPDATE - I got it installed , WOO7
*splash screen - the image or whatever that is displayed while a program is opening. Go wikipedia.

Ahh trolls, one of biggest annoyances of being a blogger. (not that their present here) Reading comments can be like watching an online tennis match. An excellent example from Pandagon. I think Amanda probably gets some of the worst trolls I've seen. Most of them seeming to be wingnuts with too much time on their hands trying to piss off teh "moonbats". Or they are Dawn Eden the queen of the chastity department of wingnuttery, she's here to tell you that snagging that husband you've always dreamed of is as easy as withholding sex till the ring is permanantly affixed to your finger. (or as hard considering she had a few relapses herself).
Back to the trolls. Agood one can piss you off without quite knowing why. There is just something about their statement that is angering. If you have ever felt you needed to understand the nasty buggers somehow, and have some of the devices they use to piss us off then please read this.

Well it's finally happened, I'm getting a new computer. My old one died on me in the middle of my business report project for school this summer, I hated it briefly, then I realized that it was about 7 years old and had barely run XP succesfully for the past 6 months. So I planned to deal with it and when i graduated buy a new computer. Well that time has come, granted it was not a brand new computer direct from the manufacturer, but I can't afford that. So I settled with buying a refurbished one on ebay. wait, I bought a refurbished Power Mac G4 Yosemite 450MHz w/Mac OS 10.3 Panther to be specific. for $190 USD. Not too fucking shabby I think. Of course I've never had an Apple before so I'm not as skilled with troubleshooting on them, but I suppose I shall learn. I'll let everyone know how it goes once it arrives, wish me luck!
