Hope dies the day I decide to learn Photoshop, putting my precious GIMP aside.

That day is today :P

There's just way too many plugins, brush sets, and such, that aren't compatible with The GIMP. And that it can't actually save icon files properly. So I'm going to try and switch over, out of necessity. I'll still have the GIMP installed, so if the conversion fails, I can fall back on the open source alternative =)

Mm, so I'm back on RPGChat. And there's my first IC post in two months, which isn't too horridly rusty. Damien Drake is now dead, a ghost who's stuck around to spend his time haunting the world in general in a nasty way until he gets a new body or suchlike.

And I'm also quite proud of my latest devART submission, Ghost of the Monster. As it happens, the image was inspired by Damien Drake, and is what I'm now using as the base for my forum avatar on RPGC. Comment all 'round are much appreciated, I'm gonna try and keep future pieces to that standard. Can't make any promises, though :P

Fucking hell.

Well so, I've signed up once more for what's probably the longest-running dungeons and dragons PBeM game in existence. RealmsQuest, of course. My wild elven witch is looking perky, so we'll see if Mormy gives me the go-ahead for a character sheet.

So, it turns out that the failure wasn't due to the HL2 disc, after all. I swapped it for another copy at Revolution CD, and then succesfully installed it on Jono's PC. Came home, tried, failed.

Fucking hell.

So it looks like I'm going to be calling in that three year on-site warranty, after all.

Fucking second-rate hardware x_X

Fireworks, I've discovered in the last few minutes, is a wonderfully friendly and useful app. It allows me to design the kind of website layout, and work in graphics for a website, in a way that would otherwise have taken many times as long writing up the code in dreamweaver and trying to draw a GUI in an environment meant for individual graphics (the GIMP or Photoshop).

Secondly, Powderfinger are awesome. For anyone who doesn't have them, download Waiting for the Sun, Thrilloilogy, and Love Your Way. If you're on my contact list anyway, feel free to leech me for the music ^^

Final word, I seriously need to get a job. I'm in the process of writing a crappy little resume, so can someone either give me a few tips on looking around and getting interviews, or any other related help?

I've recently gotten back into Powderfinger and Silverchair, which I hadn't listened to for about a year. And my media library has hit 450 tracks =)

Toly, you shut up with your some several thousand :P

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!


Dundundun. I need more tea. And sugar. Lots of sugar would be good about now.

Thanks to several of my teachers going on year ten camp, I have no classes tomorrow. Oh, but life is good to me on occassions such as these. I need some time to do a business studies assignment, and work on finishing Planescape: Torment xD

Well, random spam it is. It's late and I'm bored.

It's too damn warm. Nevermind that it's summer, it's too God-damned warm and humid. I need air con.

Saw the Bell Shakespeare company's rendition of 12th Night today. Damn funny, they did an amazing job with the play as usual. Nothing traditional about the way Bell Shakespeare do plays; they tend to adapt them to modern life while still keeping the Shakespeare spirit to them, and a completely original twist. For example, they had both an iPod and various old swords as standard weapons in the same play. And the costumes tend to be a mix of modern and old as well, with modern business suits and cross-garter yellow stockings (o_O) in the same scene. Damn funny, overall.

I've got a deviantART account now, w00t. Now, I've just got to actually use for more than a couple of really old images, including my first ever photo manipulation and a more recent modification of the same. Comment on that site would be much appreciated for the more recent one, please =)

Green tea with earl gray is awesome stuff, especially in my fairly massive travel mug (which is now more of a dead travel mug; the lid is dead, and thus can't be used for travel :P).


And this is a bit late, but what the hell. Halloween- trick or treating for the first time ever. Good haul, better company ^^

I went as an impromtu hobo, and apparently the role suited me quite naturally. Nice to know -.-
Props to Stan for the smiley face on the inside of the hat. And to Maggie, for perfecting the vampire look... after we got back to Liza's house. I've still got plenty of those mint candies with the chocolate centres that no-one wanted :P

I need to learn to sing again.

Well, my shoes are fixed. Thank God, the temporary repairs looks awful -.-
