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.

The first trailer for Spiderman 3 is officially available on the 'net. Watch it, Marvel(teehee) at it, LOVE it. I am excited as should you be. Of course it's all just torture and titillation as the movie won't actually be out till next summer but...c'mon how can you not want to see this?
I'm so going to a midnight Thursday show when this comes out.
