4 Dec 2004 I'm still here people!
Sorry I haven't written anything in nearly a month. I've been mega busy with work, what with all the work and the deadlines and stuff. God I miss all that free time I had. *sigh*
Anyway, since the last time I wrote the following has happened:
- I'm moving into a new house! It's a nicer place than where I am currently living in, I'll have a much bigger room (mmm.... double bed), and I'll have broadband again! Which is good, because I think I'm starting to ride on my brothers (the guy who I am living with) last nerve. o_0
- Computers are still shit when they don't work. I had a really stressful time at work when I tried to simply install Windows Server Small Business 2003 at work and the e-mails didn't work properly. Or simply adding broadband the other day and the whole network decided to not work. It took me a few days to work out all the kinks. Bloody computer...
- I now know why Photoshop is the industry standard for all things print, web, and etc graphic design, rather than Paint Shop Pro (my fave). In Photoshop you can set the program to CMYK mode, which is the mode used for high quality print. You can't do that in Paint Shop Pro, not even in version 9.0. I found that out the hard way, when I designed promotional postcards at work in RGB colours and the printers wouldn't accept the postcard because it wasn't in CMYK. So I had to redo the whole thing in Photoshop 5, which doesn't have vectors of any kind, in a few hours. Oh yeah, that was fun...!
- But despite all the crap at work, I still like it.
- Three more Saturdays until Chrismas! Crap! 0_0
- I got a free 'Magic' Christmas Tree from a crappy work-related exhibition I went to. It grows moldy-crystal thingys and it really works. I'll post pictures up of it at work later.
Other than that, not much else has happened.
