Ugh.. enough discussion of intelligence already. Way more boring than coffee discussions

Okay, someone's really gonna hate me today. I just revised 8 of my old skins. How long before someone accuses me of just trying to boost my download numbers?

You are just trying to boost your download numbers!

(there, it only took about 3 1/2 hours......)

wellll since this is a safe chatroom thread, I had to come tell you Glen that your wintab XP update for DB is beautiful!
arghhh! yet another thing I had to d/l!
(I spotted it last night over at LOS too)

Wow... 44 hours idle. Is this thread actually dead now? Oh, wait... guess once I click "Submit" it'll be 0 hours 0 minutes and 0 seconds idle.

Okay, Java... you figured me out. I'm just trying to boost my download numbers. Actually, if I REALLY wanted the ego boost, it was there before updating stuff anyway.

Doreen... thanks for the compliment -- I liked the way that one turned out, too, though I was a little concerned since I had to base it all off screenshots, as I don't have XP!

why is it that when the evil trolls run off with my net connection, this thread grows oh so slowly?

returning to the much beloved subject of coffee, why is this such a beloved subject? i suppose since i dont drink coffee i dont really see the attraction.

there is of course the school of thought that says that coffee is better than sex.

actually, this leads to some interesting ideas.
a) perhaps well over 90% of human males can be replaced by big cups of coffee.
Elf could be made happier by cloning significant other into a coffee based body created using the same tactics as the unicorns on the chocolate plannet.

so far, this looks like quite a good plan. less human males should mean more resorces for cats, along with increased oportunities for finding someone to settle down for a long and interesting chat with.

this does remind me, i never did post the basic design specs for the unicorns. the essential idea is actually quite simple.

since the unicors require a flexible and flowing outer coat / surface, with almost liquid qualities, the best tactic is to form it from a very large number of very small particles, that are held in position by a simple mesh of force defining the desired form.

this actually happens quite natteraly as a function of the mostly energy based life forms that are animating the unicorn forms.

the requirements for structural regidity (especially when Elf realises the posibilities of mountain drilling ) require a solid core to the bodies. but that also follows quite natteraly from the basic nature. since the fields tend to be layered up to the outer surface, it is simple to arange for alternate layers of liquid and smoothly flowing solid components all the way though to the core.

so, the same idea can be quite easily adapted to human shaped forms. so the main question this leaves us with is, should these unicorns have chocolate, or strawberry cream centres?

I think the weekend kills it. I'm on a dialup at home and don't even *think* about opening the thread. Here, at work, on a T1 is a different story!!!!

If I started on friday, it'd be loaded by sunday evening at home.

/me wants a new solution to making work problems go away

i am wondering how much chocolate body paint it requires to make the average problem go away

Chocolate body paint? Now, that is an interesting subject...

I wonder if this thread will break 500 this week....

Hmmm well today is Tuesday...

and

we

are

only

at

461

well actually 469 now,

but I was wondering the same thing JavaBrain =/

Oh, well now you're just pushing it.

I'd be babbling more on here, but I've been trying to figure out how to use SkinStudio. It's turning out to be way more of a pain than I figured, giving me a new appreciation for the WB skinners on here. Dashboard you can just create a picture and chop it up ... WB just ain't that easy. And frankly, SkinStudio's not exactly user-friendly!

Right now, I'm banging my head against my monitor trying to figure out how to change the height of the menubar ... or if that's even possible.

It isn't.

Disclaimer: last time I looked at WindowBlinds is well over two years ago.

Didn't think it was. Which of course means I can't do EXACTLY what I want to, but what else is new

Still, it'd be real nice if I knew what the hell I was doing. Took me about 9 months to really get the hang of Dashboard skinning; not sure I'll have the same level of patience with this.

ooh, 9 consecutive posts Doreen
i think you have just broken my record by 1 post
/me showers Doreen in rose petals

/me wonders if we can produce another 30 vagely coherent rambling posts in the next 3 days

no problems
