Thanks! I was dreading the assignment, but the show is a trainwreck of amazing proportions. A Titanic of trainwrecks.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Question for the math-oriented folk: if someone says "decrease the size of this graphic by a factor of 2" what does mean, in terms of percentage of the original size? I just shrank it 80%, but I'm not sure that's right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'd think you'd cut the graphic to half-size.
Possibly they mean half the area, in which case you'd shrink it to 70.7% original size, but that doesn't sound right.

Thanks, tommy. At least it isn't some obvious thing I spaced on!
I shrank the dang things to half size and sent it back. If he doesn't like it, I'm sure he'll tell me...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hayden, I clicked and groaned and laughed and cringed for you, and I'll be on at least two other computers today and will click again from both of them in hopes of increasing the chances of it turning into a regular gig.

Yeah, factor of 2 leaves me wondering half the pixels or cut height and width in half.
The exciting news from this weekend is that we're buying a new dishwasher to replace our piece of crap Fridigaire. We looked at getting a cheap one but they seemed so... cheap. We got a mid-range Maytag instead. It's stainless steel inside and out, so pretty. The stainless steel exterior typically costs an extra hundred dollars but Maytag is having a deal right now where it costs the same as white or black.
