Tabs vs Windows

November 6, 2009 Leave a Comment

So do you have a preference? Tabs vs windows? Is there a practical difference in using one over the other? I suppose I could try using tabs for awhile to see for myself but I’m currently just staying with the new window… just because.

I’m a bit antsy-pants tonite. Don’t feel like watching anything on t.v. that requires paying attention. Too late to continue working. I did get into downloading free tunes though for awhile.Edy's SF Fruit Bars

One of my fav things to snack on is (still) popsicles.  Edy’s sugar-free fruit pops are delish and they were 2 fer $5 at the store (normally $3.99 a piece!). So I bought a bunch and there was a coupon to download 10 songs for free from a site called PlayMe. Have you ever tried to think of 10 songs off the top of your head that you’d like to have but haven’t purchased? I knew there were some that I hadn’t bought yet… have heard them in the car or something, but never caught the name of the song. I’ll be darned but I was looking all over the site trying to find something that I liked to download. So I wound up getting some oldies-but-goodies… heck, I downloaded Ozzy’s Shot in the Dark, Alice Cooper – 18… ha, told you they were old. Then I finally gave up & figured I’d return when I knew what I wanted. But ya, not in the mood for much tonite.

I downloaded the newest version of Thesis for WP. Love that theme. Very customizable and from what I’ve seen so far, v.1.6 looks pretty nifty. I could play around with that for awhile I guess. Nah, requires brain use.

Put up a new set on FMG. Simple, but it was rather brain-free and actually quite relaxing. That was the idea. Felt good. In fact I noticed a couple of designs that I created and never uploaded. hmm… maybe I’ll put those together tonite. We shall see…

Anything else? OH, did I tell you that Jennie & Brian call the itty-baby-to-be Raisin? Baby Raisin . so cuuute.

Alrighty kids, later. xo

Excellent wallpapers & icons

November 3, 2009 Leave a Comment

I had to stop in for a second to drop off a couple of awesome links for wallpapers & icons. Just what I wanted to play with at 2 a.m. OH, and I finally bought the web cam that we wanted, so we can converse with visuals to Jennie & Brian on Skype (remember when we/I used to say during the Jetsons’ era, “Oh lawdy, I wouldn’t want people able to actually see me when we’re talking on the phone!) ha. Welcome to the 21st century.

Remember I told you guys about the songwriter’s site I was creating? I’d like you to meet Rich Marcello, listen and download an mp3 or 2.

Cheers!

FREE free Free!!

August 4, 2009 2 Comments

Are you guys as obsessed as I am about downloading good freebies from the plethora of “free stuff” sites?

omg free

Sometimes I get so mad at myself  ‘cos I can spend w-a-y too much time browsing and downloading things that I will probably never use for as long as I live!

Like tonite for example… I found a few new icon sets (like I really need more icons), and all of a sudden I was in download overload. *Danger Danger* (picture the kmart blue light special bulb flashing around my head and sirens blaring)… what the hell was I doing? I really didn’t care about downloading anything more… I was tired and crabby and debating whether I should go to bed early, but instead I was downloading the umpteenth hand drawn Facebook icon to a folder where I would probably forget which hand drawn icon I had placed in it. ugh.

Of course I dream of some day having a library-like Dewey Decimal System of all of my icons and downloaded vector files and Photoshop brushes and on and on… (that’s how Adobe Bridge should ideally be set up ya know), but until that day, I really must stop this obsession of mine. Or at least wait until I need something in particular. Right?

Speaking of Photoshop brushes, I had downloaded the AbrViewer awhile back, but I didn’t use it much… thought it was a bit clunky. But I just downloaded the AbrView, and I like it! Short & sweet and a lot cleaner than the other one. So I guess I did benefit from my little downloading spree tonite.

And just in case you feel like you’re missing out on all of these freebies I’m talking about, here’s a short list… with Smashing Mag being the big Mac-daddy of ’em all (I think they’re amazing!).

**OH, one other thing I wanted to mention about these sites… WHY-O-why do they all. look. the. same?? I mean seriously. Content on the left, chances are there’s a big link graphic first, above the post… then squares and squares of ads on the right. And of course even the ads are all the same. I honestly don’t get it. Am I missing something?

Happy Anniversary Woodstock!

August 2, 2009 Leave a Comment

Last day of vacation and I spent it cleaning out deep corners of my pc, rearranging files and then playing with some fun graphics for awhile.

I created a new graphic set for FullMoon Graphics… poor dear, neglected pretty much since November. It’s teetering on crashing once again since I haven’t exported it into the latest version of NetObjects… as a matter of fact, it’s about 2 versions behind. That will have to wait until my next vacation, whenever that may be.

ANYway, most of you must know by now that I l-o-v-e Woodstock. I love everything that it stands for. For the music, for the era… for the clothes (yes, the clothes). So I played with hippy-trippy tie-dyed patterns and flowers and peace signs. Heck, there’s even a matching desktop, although given the “busy-ness” of the patterns, chances are you won’t see a single icon on your desktop with this wallpaper!

So check it out dude! Enjoy.
Peace, luv & coffee!
