Nyah! Windows 7

[remnantmachine]

I so totally just learned the most AWESOME thing about Photoshop eva! xDDD

So, like, Windows 7 was being a b!tch and refusing to let me run my copy of CS2 on my laptop. I was all like 'Ha-ell NO!' and tried to run a compatability mode with it. It zigged when I zagged and shot me down again. x.x By this time (two days since I started), I was kinda pissed; add this to the fact that I dislike Windows 7 anyway cause it's ugly, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Today, I decided 'to hell with it' and got out my copy of CS3 and decided to just put IT in my laptop. I got it installed fine, and I got past the first part of activation. Until... it asked for my 2.3 Upgrade serial number. My disc has no number. I have the serial number for the 2.3 installation of Adobe, and the DreamWeaver serial number, not the 2.3 upgrade serial number itself. Seriously ready to throw my laptop against the wall, I called tech support to get it sorted out. Surprisingly, I got a helpful guy on the other end. It was then I found out the most awesome thing about Photoshop. YOU CAN CHALLENGE PHOTOSHOP FOR ACTIVATION! XDD
The tech support guy got me through the first screen, and then through some fancy finger configuration, I ended up in a screen giving me a challenge number and asking for a response number. IT WAS SO F-ING AWSOME! Needless to say, I now (fianlly) have a fully functional version of Photoshop on my laptop that I can use. ♥ ♥

I'll be messing around making icons in my spare time at school now. XD Take that stupid art teacher who won't teach us anything! (I've finished some awesome Duskborn stuff in her class though.)

I'm so glad Photoshop finally worked for you babe.

Would you be interested in doing an icon challenge with me since you finally got your program working? :3 I'm gonna do the 100 word icons thing for Duskborn, because I am an awesome procrastinator. ♥

Also, did I ever get to see my Armand/Snape pic? O.o I don't remember.

Where do you get your icons? ♥

Icon challenge? 100 words icons thing? I have no knowledge of that which you request. (ignore the wording, I'm in the HP fandom tonight)

No, I haven't finished it yet. I can't really work on that one in art class like the others, and Snape's head is being a pain. Damn the man and his nose to Hades and back. DX

Everywhere, love, everywhere. ♥ Mostly from fangirls like us who have no life other than to collect icons of the best nature and share them with the world.

Icon challenge is basically this: you pick a topic (Duskborn); you are given 50 words at random (provided by the site, I already have my list) and are given 50 artist choice options; you then make the icons and put them in a very nice looking table layout for everyone to see and steal from you.
It's simple and I've already started, but things like a header and junk would be more YOUR specialty. xD I suck at it all...

It's cool. If I was any good at anything, I'd help.
...but I'm not. xDDD

[remnantmachine]

So where would I go about finding this site to give me my list and options?
I do like headers better, but only because you have more room. XD

You are too good at stuff! You're writing almost half of the chapters for Duskborn. :p And you have an awesome talent for finding cool stuff. ♥

Oh love. It's only because I have no life. ♥

I'm using the 100iconchallenge Alpha set from the LJ community (click on Themes to the right to choose one; table codes to get an exceptionally easy code to deal with).
Tell me which set you are going to use, and if you want any of the bases I have, I'll send the best ones I've got. Just kinda shoot me an idea of what you want (emo!Harry, screaming!Harry, smexy!Draco, nondouchebaglooking!Edward, etc.)
Tell no one, but I am terribly excited that you are doing this with me! ♥ ♥

Care to make a Caits version of your header graphic?? (doesn't have to be big, 350px wide at most? IDK how to decorate it, but you've seen what some of the headers look like lol)

[remnantmachine]

I don't know which set I will use yet, but I'll email you when I finally pick one.
I'll try and prowl around to find my own bases first. I also like screencapping my own for some insane reason (it takes me twice as long to screencap a movie as it does to watch it DX). If I get too desprate, I'll most definantly send you a poke.

Which header graphic are you talking about? I'm totally lost. o.O

[caits]

It's like this:

[ ] <-- header
[ | ] <-- icon table
[ | ]
[ | ]
[ | ]

It's usually just an image that says what it is ("Duskborn - 100 Icon Challenge") and whose doing it (Naoi version)...

I can send you a reference image if you want one... or you can just check the community for some examples.

Also - did we update Duskborn tonight or are we gonna wait?

[remnantmachine]

Ahh, one-a them things. I can make up a pair of them, sure.

...(shifty eyes)...no. We didn't. I actually forgot about it again... ^/\^ Please forgive me!
I'm already behind trying to whip out an HIS paper on revolutionary crap, and with BIO crawling up my behind, I forgot all about actually writing the story. >.-
I'll work on it a little tomorrow if I have the chance, but most likely, we need to just have a massive write-in together Sunday.

GIRL IT'S OKAY! ♥

I was just curious because my gmail has been gay lately and not letting me receive emails.

BIO103 is kicking my ass too, so I understand, lmfao.

3 icons down. :3

[remnantmachine]

Your icons are always so epicly awesome for the situation. ♥ (I just noticed your last one too XDD thanks!)
