It’s been another one of those period of time when I haven’t got to posting anything here in a while. There are several things that have gone on that I should have written about but didn’t. Rather than create a lot of new entries, I’ll just mention each of them here in summary: Email Glen …
Links to two pieces of software I use, and which I put on the left-hand side of this page, have disappeared in different ways. One, Image Grabber II, is nowhere to be found any more – apparently the site is gone. So, clicking on the link actually downloads the software itself, which I’ve put on …
I’ve been using Graphic Workshop for several years now – so much so that I purchased it a while back. It’s become a bit dated, however, and won’t let me apply some of the special effects I’d like – such as red eye reduction for use with digital camera pictures. Also, I’m not a fan …

The Adolix wallpaper changer utility I mentioned a couple of days ago turned out to not work properly. It would give me an access violation error every time I started it, and it would always start up with the wallpaper being “stretched” – even after I’d told it not to do that. I sent an …
Every once in a while you realize that you’ve been operating under a massively stupid premise for a long period of time – and then just berate yourself for it. This is one of those times for me. For longer than I care to admit, I’ve been “carrying with me” (through various computer and OS …
The last we heard of our intrepid herione she’d been the victim of a heinous plot by an evil villainess, intent on world domination, to take her out of the picture so that she couldn’t interfere with her nefarious plans. 6 weeks later, she was still out on the street, searching in vain for new …
