I'm becoming completely addicted to online digital painting tutorials, and thought I'd share this one for anyone that's interested -- it covers different ground from most of the "Now that you've scanned in your sketch, let's colour!" ones.
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I personally just encourage people to switch to KDE.
This "users are idiots, and are confused by functionality" mentality of Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it. I don't use Gnome, because in striving to be simple, it has long since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do.
Please, just tell people to use KDE.

I have sort of warmed up to KDE now that I've used it a bit and found that pretty much everything can be customized.

There's one out there that lets you control some of the iPod functions with the deck controls (FF, RW, I think).
FYI - I bought this the other day because I stupidly slammed my Monster adapter in the car door. I am not pleased with it. I think it'll end up with FM transmitters in the glove compartment.

I need some regular expression help. My brain is a sieve when it comes to them?
How do I make part of a pattern an optional match? I'm dealing with something like this:
"%(^|\\s)mandatory textoptional text%me"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's probably
"(^|\\s)mandatory text(optional text)?"

Let me give that a shot. And that reminds me, should do something about the disappearing slashes.

The FF/REW function is sketchy at best. The sound quality is kinda weird in my car. It starts to sounds all crackle-y so I have to yank on the cord a bunch of times to get it to work correctly. A few minutes later, crackling again.
Plus I really need to be able to charge and play, which I wasn't thinking of when I bought it.

Excellent. That's a start. Now I have to work out how to deal with the disappearance of one of the parameters of the function called in the preg_replace section.
