Livejournal Questions

[lettered]

This actually has nothing to do with the recent drama.

I have a confession to make. I'm a genius. But I'm really tragically stupid also.


-how to put on a header. And why everyone can figure it out but me.
-what a DDoS attack is. Looked it up on Wikipedia. Still really don't understand.
-where everyone gets the equipment to do all the icons and everything they do. Seems to me that stuff costs a fortune.
-how to write short fanfic.
-who Rodney is.
-Henry Jenkins.
-GIP.
-how NOT to hotlink some images. I can do it if the image is in a format Photobucket will upload, otherwise I don't understand.
-how people keep up with their flists.
-how people keep up with stuff like which new cat macro is funniest.
-how anyone keeps up with anything.
-why seraphcelene can't be here RIGHT NOW, I dunno, making pie with me.
-how people find out people are talking about them when said people are not talking to them. It's not that I don't like gossip. It's that I don't understand it. I literally seem to have trouble paying attention to anything not aimed straight at me with a missile launcher.
-why I like Harry/Draco.
-flangst.
-how people not being able to post really isn't connected to the Great Strikethrough.
-how to play most online videos, or dl the equipment.
-birthdays.
-why I didn't find a plane ticket to NYC for an earlier day so I could watch DB with a2zmom.
-Spike.
-betas.
-most emoticons.
-who Jo is.
-what Due South is.

Yeah, it's cool how many people busted out with answers!

I have an old copy of Photoshop, but it's on FLOPPY. My comp doesn't even have a floppy drive. Maybe I'll look into Paint Shop Pro.

Floppy, wow. Weird how that feels like a lifetime ago. On my first computer, a C64, we didn't even have a floppy drive, we copied all our games onto old audio-tapes.

Anyway, I can heartily recommend Paint Shop Pro. Unless you absolutely need it for professional graphic design, it can do pretty much everything that Photoshop can, and on top of that it's faster and much easier to use. I only use Photoshop on very few occasions. And even my friend, who's much more PS-savvy than I, prefers PSP most of the time.

Just, when you get PSP, I wouldn't get the latest version... I heard that they got bought by some other company and the quality went down the drain. PSP7 might be a good choice. And since it's a few years old, it should cost next to nothing now.

Thank you *so* much for the advice! Someday, I want to be a person who can make icons.

Or at least a cat macro ;o)
