After the Calling

OKAY! Sorry I disappeared from the interwebs. I just got slammed at work kind of unexpectedly (It’s 6 am. I’m going to work in 20 minutes. I could stab something.). It didn’t help that my computer was being a jackass. BUT NOW IT’S A FIXED JACKASS. I got it back last night and I’m under strict directions to “Leave it alone.” I have a registry editor installed, and I may or may not have caused this whole thing… by editing my registry while not knowing what the shit I was doing… but we’re going to pretend that I did know what the shit I was doing and continue to blame the computer for being a jackass. And I now officially need to make a clear distinction between my home comp and my work comp… like officially.

In more important news: I found a program that converts my pics from the lovely but abrasive PNGs to less offensive JPEGs without much quality loss. At least I think I did. The program is kind of confusing and has the worst user interface… and there are no directions. “Help” takes you… nowhere.

But whatever, the pics are jpegs… I think… and are saved for web… I think. I’ll try to keep up with this method if it continues to work… or works at all… because I didn’t realize that PNGs are bastards. Even after you compress them. Compressed bastards. Let me know about the pics.

I put myself on a schedule that I want to maintain because this chapter is kind of long, so I’m going to put up III B today. IV sometime tommorrow. And V on Sun. I’m also going to put up Salem’s power profile sometime this weekend. So basically I’m going to inudate you with this stuff until you can’t stand it anymore.

Graphics are schizophrenic, at best.
