4/28/09 - [FFC#50] - Of muffins and woks

[Tapewolf]

I, for one, am glad that we can't see what's happening there.

So, does this update mean that things are settling down, or that it was very slowly and painfully ground out?  Because really, if it's giving you extra hassle on top of everything else, we can wait.

we'll see, i'll be hopefully getting some new PC parts next week or so (yay government, it also paid a large chunk o' bills), so there may be some interruption there.

It's good to see Kittah again and she looks so happy

[Sicill]

Tapewolf: if you do another song similar to "Operation Wendigo",unless Luke is actually winning, it might be best to skip over this little gem of history in favor for other parts.

On one side: Kittah's hands apparently smell like muffins among other things.
On another side: If I am reading him correctly, Bengahl apparently spent the last bit of his time on Earth watching some Sci-fi shows (at least one of which involved antimatter) and the Food Network.

Takahn wasn't the only one who had possession of Bengahl's orb.

I'm getting several very interesting mental images of what's going on off-screen. The trouble is, I'm not sure if I should be making bets and offering popcorn or grabbing for the brain bleach. At least we can be relatively sure that those involved are in decent physical shape...

Why do I have a feeling that even after Fa'lina is gone.... you STILL don't want to take SAIA's home-ec classes o.o

given that Fa'lina doesn't even exist on Ariannia.. i'll take that as a compliment 

[Kabbalist]

Maybe she counts as a "spirit guide" for Lady Milnea...or maybe she's a fictitious character in a bestselling 'Cubi novel?

for the record, IT'S ALIVE! ALIIIVE!!!

I do not grok.

I grok in fullness.

[ShadesFox]

I pretend to grok.  Therefor, I pretend that I am.

new hardware under the hood, runs photoshop like BUTTER..

also does the Crysis demo justice, too.

You mean it melts?  Better revert it.

No, I assumed you meant there was an update...

[Keleth]

I say we Nom it until it's done being nommed

i mean it runs all smooth like..
and for all you technophiles...
AMD Athlon64 X2 5600+ Dual Core (2.9GHz)
Gigabyte GA-M720-US3 Motherboard
Two Seagate 500GB 7200rpm Serial ATA-II-300 HDD's
Corsair 4096MB (2 x 2048MB) PC2-6400 800MHz DDR2 RAM

First off... Is it bad that I put a Yiddish spin on the butter comment? (Like buttah, dahlink!) I think my childhood Streisand exposure is showing. 

Secondly... Holy mother of Silicon, Turnsky! I think that machine runs faster than my car, and I've got a Chevy v6. That's a little more than twice what my PC can do! Does this mean we get to see more wonderful Turnsky art?

[Mao]

Here's hoping.  This forum can always use more Milnea boobs.

potentially, yes.. here's hoping, neh?

That is a pretty decent rig.  What did you have before?

[Turnsky]

That is a pretty decent rig.  What did you have before?

Athlon XP 3200+ (2.2ghz)
Asus A7n8x-E mobo
Seagate barracuda IDE drives (120/160gig)
1 gig ram
Radeon x850xt

it's a fairly solid rig, but the new one can actually look photoshop in the eye.

[Kabbalist]

Oy... Photoshop must be an absolute beast to run properly.

the more memory you have, the more it'll use.

[Kabbalist]

The more memory you have, the more it'll use.

So it's literally a resource-devouring monster?

sometimes, yeah.  so far, no slowdowns yet with this rig, aaand CS4 has that nifty ability to have 3d objects imported into it.

[Turnsky]

smallish update, if all goes well... the 18th will be the next update, i've had a little fun with this one, admittedly... 

[Kabbalist]

Hey, "fun" is a good thing. This is your hobby, and while it's a good thing that it's a labor of love, it better be fun too, at least more often than it's not.

[Turnsky]

erf... if folks read the site blog, (really wishing i could embed it into the comicgen site) you'll know what's up.. but here's the synopsis..

Loki, one of my cats, got into something he shouldn't, and burnt his tongue... with what, i dunno, it's either chemical or heat.. either way, he was in poor shape today.. he's better now, anywho..

all that stress and running around ate up most of my arting spirit.. not to mention the financial hit.. seriously, $172.30? damn vets.. so yeah, i'm gonna shoot for a wednesday update, a tad more comfortable than frantically working myself into a lather trying to get it done quickly..

Point one: Ouch! Seriously, ouch! However Loki did that, I bet he's not going to try it again.

Point two: Likewise "ouch" on the vet bill and stress. A Wednesday update is much better than no update at all. I hope you and your cat start feeling better as soon as possible.
