I'm Getting Stuff Done, I Promise!

Things have been....good.  Getting better.

My computer is near the state it was in before I had my accident and I am treating it extra carefully.  There are still things I am missing though, so I am considering emailing Matt or Rusty about PDFs that I have turned into them in the past....hope they keep things for a while!  I still don't know if I should go to the guy in OP about my old harddrive, but I'll figure out what to do soon.

Oh, gotta figure out next semester as well.  I'm planning to study abroad but the hard part is figuring out what to do and where to live when I get back in the spring.  Geez Vis Comm it would be much easier to have VC3 in the fall and have our break in the spring.  It would make everything so much easier and give us more time to prep for study abroad.

I've got ideas for my bookcovers....doing 451 F since I did Gatsby last semester in illustration.  I think it is hilarious we are doing assignments again, but I guess it is good.  I don't have anything else to post on this computer ATM though so that will have to wait.


Rusty likes the burning letters one, so I've got another illustration to work on.  Like my concepts this time though.  However, doing minimalistic, clean design feels like cheating to me because of the amount of work involved.....even though I like it SO MUCH.



Aside from VC, I'm really interested in customizing my desktop on my Mac further.  I've always admired Rainmeter for PCs but it turns out there IS an app called GeekTool that allows you to write scripts that can do just about the same things as Rainmeter can.  Exciting!  I shall research this tonight and put my CS skills to work.

Example of GeekTool desktops...  NOT MINE, but good inspiration.
In the future, I also can't wait to have my own dual-screen desktop battlestation to implement this stuff on.  I feel like desktops can definitely stay on longer and thus are almost like an existing piece of art in the room.
