this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph, what do you have, a Mac or a PC?

Mac at work; PC at home.

I think there's a feature in the display software that lets you save a page

Oh yeah -- DUH. I'ma try that when I get home.

Well, when I do a screencap (which I do, um, daily) I hit Command(Apple)+Shift+4, which gives me a little plus sign instead of a mouse pointer. You can move the mouse around until you've got it where you want it, press the button, drag until you've got a big enough square selected, and then let go.

My screencaps get dropped on the Mac HD directory as SimpleText pictures, which you can drag and drop into Photoshop, for example.

Edited because the draggage comes before the droppage.

I saw the cartoon Teen Titans last night where Starfire goes to the future, which raised some questions: Is that what Nightwing typically looks like? Is Diamond in Powers explicitly based on him?

Is that what Nightwing typically looks like?

He's got short hair in the comics. At one point in the comics and the Batman cartoon he had a Really Sad Mullet. But that's basically Nightwing, yes.

Dunno about the Powers question.

Wait! These aren't MY pants!

Steph, cdr files are simply rar files with a changed extension. There should be (somewhere) a version of rar for the Mac.

Thanks, David! Hey, I sent you a short email about a half-hour ago.

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

Is Diamond in Powers explicitly based on him?

On Nightwing? I don't think so. For one thing, Diamond actually had superpowers.

It is non-arrived at this point. Did you use the vacuum tubes?

So sad about the mullet...

Well, it just seemed like they had similar (or maybe the same) symbols, long hair, and where Nightwing covered up the top part of his face, Diamond covered the bottom part. But I haven't read far enough in Powers to know much about Diamond's powers, except that he had them and now he's just really strong.

So sad about the mullet...

I've been reading the Grant Morrison JLA stories every now & then, and Superman is sporting a mullet to put Macho Man Randy Savage to shame in some of those.

It is non-arrived at this point. Did you use the vacuum tubes?

No, I used the W.A.S.T.E. system. Why?
