I don’t actually believe that it will do much good, but it’s nice to feel like you’ve done your part. Invader Zim has been cancelled by Nickelodeon. Click this link to sign a petition requesting that it be continued. I did.

I could think of a few good ways to put this handy device to use. Anyone who wants to buy it for me is more than welcome.

I keep going back to this site, thinking that I want to find someone to play with. Then I remember that I don’t have internet access at home, and how difficult it would be to play until I do. I suppose I could use my work computer to play, since it does happen to have Photoshop on it. I wouldn’t be able to put all my concentration into it though, I suppose.

The basic premise of Photoshop tennis is simple: One player emails a photoshop document to the other containing a single layer. Each player progressively adds a layer until the match is over, either by time, withdrawal or mutual consent. The official matches have some really amazing examples. That level of design is one that I wish I could compete with. Alas, I must find a partner to practice with, first. I’ll ask Iain, and when he tells me he’s too busy, I’ll hope and pray that someone out there with Photoshop is as creative and interested as I am in playing a few matches of Photoshop Tennis, even if it is at an amateur level.

Hey, you! If you haven’t already seen it, head on over to Modern Evil. I re-did it.

Love it.

So, on Tuesday afternoon at the end of the work day, I rebooted my computer, same as I do every other day. Instead of booting back up into Win2K, it decided that the file ntoskrnl.exe was no longer on the system, and would I please reinstall windows? So, I tried repairing and tried using Emergency Recovery Disks, and I ended up having to re-install Win2K anyway. Then I spent most of yesterday reinstalling applications and trying to restore my settings. Hooray!

The one thing I thought I wouldn’t lose is my MSN Explorer favorites. Because they’re (theoretically) stored on the MSN servers. The idea is that no matter where I log onto my MSN account, I have the same settings and the same favorites. This is a feature I was overjoyed to finally see in a major software release. Then, for some reason it stopped working. At first I simply couldn’t organize my favorites in MSN Explorer; that’s been going on for a few weeks. Today, when I logged in, it has ZERO favorites. Not even an old version of my favorites, or a partial list of my favorites. Just … none.

Which is fine, I suppose. Except that I had been using favorites as reminders of pages that I wanted to go to. Sure, I have many that are just convenient links to sites I frequently visited, and I’ll have to try to remember what those were, and how to get to them. It’s the links to interesting articles I hadn’t finished reading (or hadn’t started reading) and websites I wanted to explore that I’m going to miss.
