Coming Home

I've been messing around with a different blog in a different blogging software. I've decided to come home to this blog -- where I have all my old stuff and can continue to do my new stuff. And I have more flexible features.
So you'll probably see more action over here in the future. I've just finished transferring over posts from my other blog. I'm glad to be back home.

TGI-GMail

I had to send some large files last night via my MSN account. Unfortunately, the files weren't zipping smaller, and I couldn't get what I wanted using a third-party file transfer program.

On a whim, I flipped over to my one and only GMail account and ... no issues with file size. While I'm not in the mood to test the limits of GMail and it's file transfer protocol, I am very glad that it fit my needs right now.

Inked Edges

I've been searching for the "perfect" technique to ink edges digitally. I've been searching for about 6 months now, but nothing I see fits my criteria. I'm probably too picky, looking for look-alike ink edges.

I'm sort of picky with my real inked edges, too. They have to be messy, irregular, sometimes with oops areas where I lose my grip on the pad and it goes flying across the paper.

Just how do you create that digitally? Or create a script that runs that effect.

I keep reminding myself that Google and Delicious are my friends. I'll figure it out -- I always do. Maybe I just need another 6 months of searching and playing.
