Soooo...

I was supposed to go hang out with my buddy today... We work together now but we never see each other outside of work due to our schedules literally contradicting us ever being social together.

My landlord's repair man was also supposed to come by my place to fix our deadbolt, which is being a little bitch. Dude was supposed to be here like at 3:30. And then it got pushed to 4. Then 6-7p. Now its almost 8pm and he is now ALMOST here. So fucking much for doing the shit we had planned on doing. (Shooting range, bowling, dinner, drinkz). Now we have like just time to grab food. Maybe. If the dude doesn't take too long. He still has to show up, diagnose, and fix the issue.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Morning, jingle. What's up?

Nuttin.  Just doing some household financial balancing, drinking coffee, and listening to tunes.  The usual for a weekend morning.  Got some household repairs to do today, work with jingle.son on some homework, and perhaps force myself through the misery that is Attack of the Clones.

You?

If you can get through TPM, you can get through anything. :lol

I'm working on some icons today, because my goal was to hit over 500 icons for tomorrow so I can invoice them for another batch and get some extra money before Christmas. I've already hit my goal, but I still want to get a bit more done tonight.

Yeah, the same work. The deadline isn't until March or so, and there are about 800-900 icons to do in total.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I have just over 500 that are exported and ready to send that I'm happy with, but I've at least got a start on over 600 of them. There are still over 200 that I either haven't started or don't consider done.

Just some work I'm currently doing for a company. I'm redoing all of the icons for a piece of their software, because the current ones are ancient and amateurish, and they need them in larger sizes. There are about 800 icons to do in total.

Depending on the size of them that would be difficult! I remember, some years ago, trying to make a set of icons that were 12 px x 12 px. The only way I found to do it effectively was to make them at 150 x 150 and then shrink them to use as a template to make cleaner icons. This was back in the 1990's though.

I'm sure you have a much more effective way now.

Sounds like you were still working with palettized images? The current icons are like that, but the new icons are true colour with a proper alpha channel, so it's a little easier. Other than that, not too different. I'm creating the icons at 128x128, then I use a macro in Photoshop to automatically export to the different sizes the icons need, which is 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 64. 16x16 is hard enough, so 12x12 must have been basically impossible. And on many of these icons they've tried to squeeze in writing. Ugh!

We have the technology.  We can rebuild it.

I periodically venture over there, just to remind myself why I don't go there.  I figure if there's anything noteworthy, important people like you folk will bring it up here.
