Whoa

4/16/2007

Just a quick entry to say I’m alive and somewhat kicking. Also figured it was time I did a post about something on this blog, however dead it has become.

With that being said, I’ve recently changed to a new wallpaper and visual style over the weekend. I’m 99.9%70% positive the image was drawn by Keiji Goto as it looks like his style, but if I’m wrong let me know. Went with a very simple background, just changing the coloring of the original image to fit the visual style colors a bit better. For the visual style itself, I found the awesome GSM Suite. What really won me over is the foobar skin some kind soul did; it really helps bring the rest of the visual style together since I have foobar opened 24/7/365. Really loving how the playlist is setup as not only can it auto-sort by pre or custom defined groupings, but also shows the album cover image as well (if available). The only down side when I went to this style was the 2+ hours I had to spend formatting all my album art files so it would be shown correctly in foobar. Well worth the effort though, don’t you think?

As an extra bonus, and to prove DiGiKerot wrong, I should mention I changed my laptop’s wallpaper as well to this. It’s unique, if anything else. (Sorry DiGiKerot, in all honesty I only left it on for like 10 minutes and then switched back to a more normal wallpaper. Do know I enjoy your comics very much though!)

    DiGiKerot, just taking one for the team and your post just *screamed* you wanted someone to do it… fake or not ;)

    Aesir, haha thanks for continuing to visit my blog however un-frequently I update it! Good to know people still visit!

    Danny, yep been dying to using the image as a wallpaper for awhile. Thanks for commenting as well. BTW, love your site man!

    R8, yea the more I think about it the less I’m thinking it was done by him. Odds are it’s someone using his style as reference and working from there. Still helleva nice either way.

    Arcueid, if you look for the foobar skin on google or the site linked you’ll find all you need to configure foobar. The author has a nice readme file including everything you’ll need to have installed.
