71

[the_muppet]

I've just spent 4 solid hours on work stuff and I think I got half a day sorted.  Half a day.  Out of a whole week.  Yeah, my week off is over, isn't it?  The summer timetable that wasn't supposed to start for about a month has to be in place in about 10 days.  Should've known my week off was going too well.

My geeky obsession emailed me today, so that was one thing to make me smile.  Not very helpful in terms of getting past the obsessing bit, but hey, did I mention it made me smile?  ;)  _gater_ , you're the Shep expert you're good at naming things, what shall we call him?  Some RL friends read this occasionally so a new name would be good  :)

Oh, and I now have 71 userpics uploaded ~ since I got 100+ to play with, I have become so, so picky!  But I have some lovely pics that really make me smile - and now I've installed Photoshop, I may one day actually be able to make my own!  Unfortunately, I've now realised that all those wonderful tutorials I saved for when I was ready to start making icons, are actually way, way, way a bit too advanced for me, so if any of you would like to kindly point me in the direction of the very basic idiots guide, I'd be most obliged  :)

I'm now either going to watch another episode of PB or work on another half day of the timetable ...........

*hugs*

Bob? Steve? Mike?

*rofl*

I don't have icon tutorials as such, but found this:

I really like their instructions, step by step with screen shots and stuff. There's a couple of guides that teach you how to do some cool effects... hope that helps.

Now go forth and make graphics! Screw the timetable. ;)

Bob? Steve? Mike?

I knew you'd say that ~ is that the best you can do? Right, you don't get to name anything else. Ever. Next idea please?

*rolls eyes*

Um, the link you provided doesn't work :/

Well, if you knew I'd say that, why'd you ask? Huh? Huh? :P

Turkey sandwich. Can we call your guy turkey sandwich? I don't like turkey... I prefer chicken. I'm a chicken person.

Does your geeky guy look like anyone? Dean? Sam? Oh, Sammy! I like that name. He's a little geeky too. Can we name him Sammy? Oh, can we? Can we keep him? Please?

*lol*

Sorry. :P

Grrr... the internet can be sooo stupid:

If you don't put the last slash at the end, it doesn't work... how dumb is that? Gah. Stupid piece of junk, I hate computers. Hope the link works now, hope it's useful too!

Well, if you knew I'd say that, why'd you ask? Huh? Huh? :P

Because I thought/hoped you'd take it a step further and come up with an original name for him!

Can we name him Sammy? Oh, can we?
Uh, no. He really is not hot enough to be called Sammy! :P

Thanks for the new link :)

I got your email *hugs* and will send you a proper reply soon ;)

*big hugs*

Jake. Jake's a good name.

I seriously need to start vidding... gah. *panics* Ideally, I should finish one vid tonight and another tomorrow night.

I don't think that's gonna happen! :S I have sooo lost the knack to vid, it just doesn't work anymore. I think I'm broken.
