Just when you think I've disappeared forever ... ?

Mon Nov 9, 2009, 10:14 PM
I turn my DS into a sketchbook and give (the collective) you squids, failed webcomic panels and plastered (but not by the bottle) women.

Not all in one narrative, unfortunately.

Here's how it went: on a vacation to California, during which my wife and I saw 4 beaches in 6 days (and walked our asses off), we stayed with a very cool couple. The husband, Oliver, works for Blizzard--as in the software company that produces a few of the MMORPGs that eat your life.

As well as having a very cool tablet / desktop setup, he told me about Colors!--a program that, with the proper appliances, can transform a Nintendo DS or DS Lite (not the DSi just yet, though) into a fairly capable paint-ish application. He let me try it out and I very drunkenly drew a profile of Abe Lincoln before an American flag. Oliver saved it, but I don't know why.

Because I am too cheap to have purchased a tablet or capable computer to run one on yet, I'm having a blast with this little DS mod. It means I can draw during lunch or after work without having to dig out a slew of pens, pencils, or pages.

Ah, sweet convenience ...

Hey, did you survive the flooding?

Yes. My wife and I have a beautiful second floor apartment with a spiral staircase, and I shouldn't brag about it. Our cars were unscathed. We're practically East of Louisville and save for a fire at another apartment complex nearby, all the chaos was limited to older parts of town and where roads were cut low to go underneath little railroad bridges. Churchill Downs (where the KY Derby is) was flooded. Library was flooded. Norton Hospital had some flooding.

Spent most of this evening at my friend Justin's house. He had three inches of standing water in his basement, helped him dispose of his carpet and move all of his music equipment.

His neighbor had a couple of feet of water in his basement. So it was what it was--a flash flood with spotty but nasty destruction.

Thanks for asking about it, though. Sorry I took so long to notice this message.

Oh damn. That kinda sucks.

Glad you guys are okay!

I've been wondering for a while now, but what's going on in your avatar?

It's a pencil sketch of a kid charging something with a rapier (or epee, if we're doing crosswords). Then the color was inverted.

It's the same picture in the lower right corner of the logo at [link] just ... too tiny to make sense of, I guess.
:iconseph-hunter:
oooooooooh. gotcha.

Infrequently so. I check in once every couple of weeks. Trying to get a webcomic going (which I should have up and running by the end of this weekend). I'll send an e-invite for it. =)

I did not realize that you had a DA page... DA is awesome.
