Found a cool plugin called Midnight Sepia… doesn’t seem to work in gimp-2.2 though 🙁 Tim, any chance of an update or fix?

Dear diary, Last night I got to bed early I think, at least by my standards… 11:30. I was excited, I was going to get more than 6 hours of sleep for once. Sometime in the middle of the night I got up to get a drink or something and thought to myself “it’s probably

Well, I feel like a real homeowner again. Today was a work day, but not (entirely) in a bad way. As it was sunny, and the weekend, I decided that it was time to start work on the yard, which has been ignored so far because of either “I have to get the inside of

In our bi-weekly manager meeting today our support person pointed out a presentation she’d set up to go through with clients. Showing people a bit of the ‘heart’ of the company type stuff, including different ways to get touchy feely with the clients (who, I’ve discovered recently, really like trivial things, like color coded calendars).

This morning I went for my first run in a while, on the premise I need to get out more and move my body more… about the only thing I’m working out lately is my finger tips typing (like now!). I figured a little jaunt down the street, down the other street, then down the

Sad news from home yesterday. Our cat (well, not mine so much anymore) passed away yesterday afternoon. Scottie was an old (but happy) cat, born 17 or so years ago and named by me (after the famous explorer Scott )as he explored farther than the other kittens in his litter on my parents bedroom floor.

Has it flown by that fast? Last time I sat down and thought, “hey, I should write about my photography class”, and suddenly it’s time for it again. Geez. Today was a…. “long” day. A three and a half hour meeting will do that though. Basically I got in, prepped for the meeting, went into
