Whacky Wave

Let's just say this one was full of surprises.

Today's Gratitude Item: Realisinig that it is relatively easy to back up my 'stuff' on Flickr. I'll be trying this app in the near future. Looks like I'm not the only one at least backing content up. The widespread 'disappointment' with the new Flickr layout has members fleeing in droves.

Ripple Knitting

Quick and easy - even though it does not look it.

Today's Gratitude Item: Lip balm and a plentiful supply of tissues. Whilst I have a cold at least I can be relatively miserable in comfort.

Bursting

The clip art on this one is a bit of a blast from the past.

Today's Gratitude Item: Getting home from dance before the heavens opened. Was inside for less than a minute when the deluge hit. Would not have wanted to be 'out' driving in that.

Crazy Stairs

Was playing with 3D effects in Apophysis. This one makes me slightly nauseous.

Today's Gratitude Item: That I'm not the only one who hates the "new" flickr. They have made some massive, unwelcome changes. Within 12 hours, there were almost 8,000 posts to the feedback thread on the Help forum. Most of them were very negative. If only they would change it back...

Blue Chess

Thank goodness for the "snap to guide" property in PaintShop Pro. Without it, creating this one would have been really tough.

Today's Gratitude Item: Making some progress on my 'marking mountain' - this has been hampered by the fact that despite last week's disastrous 're-image' of my work computer, the 'medium' sized problem that lead to the 're-image' has still not been solved. To cut a tedious story short, even doing simple things on my work computer from home is now a long, difficult process. Here's hoping that my continual emails to the ICT department have some effect (and soon). The only good thing about this entire mess is that until the issue is fixed, I have an excellent excuse for missing key deadlines.
