The <off topic> thread


Recommended Posts

Im working on several things, but the main thing right now is an icon pack. Once done, it will have about 450 new icons to choose from. It might be more, but im not sure. Then after that, i could make a curser set. Ive been meaning to do that ever sense uH's curser pack reminded me that paint.net could make cursers.

So once I finish one of those, i will create a dA

Please don't create a cursor pack! Then I'll have competition to deal with... <_<... >_>... >_<

Fine, ill create a curser pack, but just for my own (unless I end up perfering yours better). It would be a while before I could even start making it though, seeing how I leave for vacation sometime this week (not sure when) and ive also got a ton of other stuff going on.

Its on the list. Right now the list is icon pack, sig, avatar, curser pack. I might be able to make a sig/avatar tommorow. I started working on one a while ago, and just kinda stopped. I could dig that file up and continue from there. I know excactly how I want them to be.

What's up with so many people only having 191mb of ram? If you look on the troubleshooting board, and now on a plugin bug report...there are several. It's not even a multiple of 8! What gives?

Ram should always be in 8s...shouldn't it? 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024...

You mean...they DO exist? :-P Well, okay, I guess that makes sense. But geez! 192 mb...wouldn't you want to shoot yourself? 512 isn't quite enough for me...I want a whole lot more. Like, about 1536 MB more.

Craziness. My first computer didn't even have that much in hard disk space. Ram...might have been 32MB, if we were lucky. But man, we thought we were cool with that Pentium 1...

you can get 2 gigs of RAM for about $80

Not quite. I'm running a notebook.

Current:

Core 2 Duo @ 1.74 GHz x2

2GB RAM (upgrading to 4 when the FedEx man gets here 8))

120GB HD

Windows Vista Home Premium

-XP Pro and Fedora on sep partitions...

Oh, how times change!

You can either solely make them in a font creator or a few font creators allow the import of already present pictures. The one I've used (badly), Font Creator 5.5, traces such formats as .png and .jpg, and if you take the import route, to create the character at about 300 px square.

True black and white though, not greyscale or colour - they're a big no no.

EDIT: so really, you could do half the job in PDN if you wanted.

Well here's some of the stuff I did:

I went to the "Today" section of DA and started to say "Welcome" to the newest users listed (about 15 of them I guess).

I also commented on random deviations (at the footer of any DA page).

I went to the DA forum, navigated to deviantART > ThumbShare, and created a thread. 10 minutes later I was getting comments as I commented on other people's work.
