Icons, The GIMP, Internet Exploder and a summers day

Firstly. Apparently, this has nothing to do with lithium_doll.

Second, I have figured how to use the Gimp to make transparencies (so simple when you get it, but so not easy to find) and also to animate gifs. Um, why is gif animating an obscure save option?

Still, cool beans, I have made an icon.

Anyone reading nolittleengland will have noticed I've messed the template up. Apart from the colour scheme (bad idea, never should use colours), it should be perfect. Except Internet Explorer doesn't resolve the CSS properly. Set width margins; that gives a variable width centre column you useless software! Gah! It looks awful. It's either go back to the old, badly coded columns, or fudge it by putting an invisible table to not let the window resize below 1000px for IE users only. That would be a bad idea. Have I mentioned IE sucks? Oh, I think I did.

Apparently, it's spring. Spring? Will you turn up soon? My flat is utterly, utterly frozen. OH, and my internal bodyclock thinks that the correct time to sleep is 5.30am. My alarm clock thinks the time to wake up is 8.30am. 6 hours sleep in 2 days not good.

Yup, no central heating; that's the big problem; multiple jumpers and frozen typing fingers.

It's spring, and I'm still using the same electric as January :-(
