Good to hear you are well. 😀

Yea its a real bummer. Slows my progress way down. 🙁

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

That is very unfortunate. I know that you are anxious to get your work done. 🙁

Yea I am getting very^999999999 close to finishing up the redesign. I also have someone interested in some of my art for a Calendar Company he runs. So I am anxious to do stuff there as well. 🙂

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Aha, I see. I didn't know about the calendar company. 😀 😛

Yea I only found out about it late Thursday night. I am looking to get one of those digital frames at a good price to show off a lot of my art easily. 🙂

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Yes, I believe that would be very helpful for you. 😀 😛

I am having trouble finding a resonable one in a 4:3 ratio which is the standard ratio for most camera pics and computer pics. They seem to be pushing this 16:9 ratio which is wide screen TV format that makes standard pictures look horrible. 🙁

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Sigh. I never knew about the different ratios used for photos, but I have noticed that my TV copes with widescreen format movies by have black stripes at the top and bottom of the screen. 😱

Yes with older sets some movies that are shown in Widescreen format forces them to put stripes above and below the movies to get it to fit. Some like the format as you can see more of the action on the sides. Some hate those black bars. I tend to lean more toward the latter.

With picture it is even more a problem if I make a picture of atom which is by its natrue spherical in shape. I either have to cut the top and bottom part of the atom off to fit into 16:9 or resize it, in which case the atom is no longer spherical as it should be but rather ellipitical. 🙁

[milagros317]

I can see that making it elliptical is a distortion of reality that you would not like to do. 🙁

Yea neither option is really very good. I would basically need to redo a bunch of pictures to show my work. 🙁

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Would putting the atom in the center with filler designs on both sides be an alternative? 😀 😛

I could do that but it would be as much work as redoing the entire picture so it would not help much really. But thanks for the suggestion. 🙂

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

You're welcome. It seemed like one thing that could be done without distorting the atom itself. 😀 😛

Yes but its a lot of work. 😛 I need a 4:3 format digital frame that makes life easy. Fortunately there are a few out there. 🙂

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I'm glad to hear that there are some out there for you. 😀 😛
Nobody has news of Zod, I presume. 🙁

Yes I am gonna snap one up quick 😀

No unfortunately. I did hear from bugman that he is ok just needed a hiatus from the TMF.

 

[milagros317]

I'm glad that somebody is in touch with him. Bugman will let us know if we can help in any way. 😀 😛

Yea. 😀

I wish I was able to contact General Zod. 🙁 I am kicking myself for not having his email. It might be on my old computer but that is fried. I think he said though in his message he was not going to even be on the net for awhile. 🙁
