Hee! Happiness for several reasons

Good things:

1. Have finally worked out how to run IRC. Free manga, here I come!



2. Have finally worked out how to do the 'fading edges' option on graphics (yes, 'feathering' and OK, I'm kinda dumb but the Adobe 5.5 helpfile is crap)



3. Am no longer hacking up green gunk, just opaque gunk. Hopefully the bone-rattling cough will go away soon too. Thanks for the get well wishes!

Bad things:

1. My laptop and internet connection is playing up a lot, though I'm praying I just need to replace my v.2 USB Hub rather than put my precioussess into the shop.



2. Am posting my Yule cards today, so some of you may get them reaaaally close to Christmas Day - so just think of them as Twelfth Night cards!

Am now off to:

1. Make breakfast.



2. Write Yule cards and post (the box is just 150 metres up the road).



3. Finish my Crawford/Schuldig essay for ship_manifesto for Monday.

Film Rec: Lord of the Rings III extended version

Have just got back from dinner upstairs and watching the extended version of "Return of the King". It was brilliant. I'm not going to give any spoilers, but the extra 48 minutes (or whatever) were useful additions that helped explain things better, rather than the gratuitous fill-in you get with some extended versions. Well worth watching.
