Munkeh. He may live on after ITV dies.

Dab nab it! My car key broke off in the lock! The locksmith came out in a timely enough way and made a new key. He didn't use the usual grinding wheel - he eyeballed it and used a fancy pair of pliers to cut it to the original configuration. Nifty.



New CDs! Event Horizon, The Whisperers, Dinosaur, Mission to Mars and Unbreakable. Kamen & Orbital, Bernstein, Morricone, Howard and Howard. All used.

Alexander, my neighbor to the north, told me today that he had been praying for me to find a job. I am touched. Then we went on to mow our respective lawns.

I amuse myself here. My favorite bit:

Listen to me, Tim T! The law says that twelve CDs enter and six CDs leave. There ain't no seven and there ain't no three! Let there be no mistaking, Nighty-nightwing. Twelve will enter and six will leave! Twelve will enter and six will leave! Twelve will enter and six will leave!

Dear old pal Jeff Bond has written a piece about a subject both near and dear here. I actually haven't read the whole piece because I am trying to give Attack of the Clones as little possibility of failure as possible. So I am only letting myself be exposed to trailers that I see incidentally - as God intended. After I see the movie I'll see what Jeff had to say about John Williams' score.

I'm on a Sluggy kick tonight. Anyway, here's a pic of a mystery Sluggite and a vectory (but not really, alas) rendition of same. I'm afraid I didn't capture the strength of her smile or her very slight shy embarrassment. Hey, it's my first attempt!

 

More fun with Photoshop (actually I use Ulead PhotoImpact, but close enough.)


 
 
 


It's fun to draw inside the lines.

Fun with Photoshop. Well, the color anyway. I drew the lines myself! With a pen!

you can leave a comment : Hi, there, Kyle! We had a good laugh, huh, this morning! Do you perhaps know how to get that JavaCamPush applet (that works with WebCam32) through a proxy. I mean from the client side (the viewer). Bye! Remko R. aka Da Byte

Fun == hiding from the webcam!
I'm sorry to say that I have no answer for this. Others report problems that are probably proxy issues. I'll look into it next weekend.

Slideshow Refinery: bah! CSS: Yay! Taxes: bah! Refund: Yay!

The webcam doodads have been made more consistent. The actual streaming bit is a click away from the index page, which is where you are now. Probably.

The webcam is, at present surrounded by Lego monsters, aka Rahi. The only MOC-like item is the Muaka that has been broken to the saddle by the Toa Maiden. The Toa Maiden has a personality that lies somewhere on the Bride-of-Frankenstein / Nell (Not Little Nell, Jody-Foster-as-Nell Nell) / Saavik (Kirstie Alley, not that other one) continuum.
