and the time flies by. Holy $%&@, another year has flown by. Then again, I have been very busy this year. It has not been dull either. I got stuff in the pipeline and some goals to meet. Anyway, that's all for now.
Je Suis Charlie Hebdo
I think the title says it all. I know I am a bit behind on this one (technical issues, not laziness are the cause of that) however I feel I need to ad my voice.
The cartoonists, editors, writers and all the others who contributed to Charlie Hebdo had more courage than just about any I know of. They are equal of Medal of Honor (and the equivalents around the world) recipients, journalists in war zones like Syria and Iraq, the various folks who fought and died for civil rights for all. For them, I raise my digital pen into the air.
Merci
I have returned...
After a long absence, I have finally returned (mostly) to the Internet and DevArt. While I have been online before via public 'net terminals, I finally got my hands on a PC with WiFi. Sure it's an old eePC and I have to share it with my housemates, however I can now create, upload and otherwise do want I want/need to do.
My PC: 2000 - 2012 RIP
Sometimes you're the truck and sometimes you're the gopher trying to cross the Interstate. Last Friday, it was gopher time for me.
I had been trying to revive my PC. Note that past tense as I was mostly successful (as noted in my last Journal entry), however last Friday, my efforts got dealt a fatal blow. My poor old video card (a now ancient Radeon 9200 card) died. Since the PC is so old (the last major rebuild was in 2004) and things have advanced since then (AGP which was my old card's interface got replaced by PCI-e), finding a replacement card is just about impossible. It's simply not worth the time to be trolling the web
Two steps foward and one back.
Well, I finally got my PC working, mostly. I say mostly as I have timeshare monitor space with my TV since my old panel is dead. So at least I can do basic PC things. Still no Net access yet, I don't have the spare funds.
Anyway, I still cannot continue my graphics work as in the process of reviving my dead PC, I found that something critical on my OS parition got FUBARed and so I can't boot. No biggie as I tend to keep my data on other partitions/drives and I have a spare hard drive handy. Pop in drive, reinstall Ubuntu and presto, I am back in business! There is a spanner in the works however: I lost my GIMP installation and
