Photoshop Tutoring from Aunt Jane Wow - thirty minutes spent with Aunt Jane on the Photoshop front is thirty exceptionally well spent minutes. I learned all about levels and that handy stamp tool. The stamp tool (not a very intuitive name) is great for getting rid of aberrations or unwanted objects like telephone poles. Oh - and "stroke" a very very very easy way to create a border around a picture. Much easier than all the hoops I'd been jumping through! I am soooooo pleased! 3:11:59 PM    comment []

The Technical Slat Rat at Work Man - since I've arrived in the Bay Area, its been tech city. I spent yesterday in Walnut Creek working on my cousin Lisa's various systems. I'm setting up wireless network, moving files off an old desktop onto a external hard drive, and doing some additional setup on Lisa's very spiffy brand new Dell laptop (courtesty of Aunt Jane!) So far, we've only had to make two trips to CompUSA. Usually, I end up making five trips when I'm doing this sort of thing... And then there's Dellbert, Peter's virally infected laptop. It appears as if Dellbert may have a new variant of the Sasser Worm. The old patches are not detecting any abnormalities. Sigh...But, Peter's help desk folks sent him a recent patch, so I'll give that a whirl this evening. Ah - the life of techie Slat Rat.... 9:52:05 AM    comment []
