 photos of yourself at your computer, or of airplanes going over the

 feel free to send a url to this list or the photo or url to me

Here's my picture:

I asked my sister to take it when I was sitting at the computer.

Carol, please let me know when you have it, so I can remove it. It may require 
some adjustments.

 'Working on GIMP paid-off my mortgage!'

In a world overflowing with justice, yes. Here, however... sigh.

On the bright side, _using_ GIMP instead of something priced around 
AUD$1200 has literally helped my sister-in-law pay off her mortgage.

She was able to borrow just enough money to pay for the camera (Canon 
10D) and lenses that would do what she needed as a professional 
photographer (at a breath-taking discount, how she got that and at the 
same time kept all of her clothes on I do not know). If she'd had to 
pay another two grand for PS, XP, virus scanners, etc it wouldn't have 
been possible. http://www.goldenlight.bur.st/

Her new occupation has paid off the camera, paid for a new one (20D) so 
she has a backup, paid for several GB of Compact Flash, and paid a 
significant chunk of their mortgage. Next, it will pay for a computer 
for her children so that they have something besides her work machine 
to learn and play on. She has more work than she can handle.

There are still some features of PS that she yearns for, but after 
actually using PS she says she finds most of the interface very awkward 
compared with The GIMP.

Simple little things can make a large difference. I always find copying 
and pasting text very awkward on MS-Windows after using Linux, Select, 
move to keyboard, Ctrl-C, move to mouse, find target application, 
click, Ctrl-V, move back to mouse vs Select, find target application, 
middle-click.

Cheers; Leon

[Gimp-developer] A Visit to GIMP

2005-09-12 Thread Carol Spears
hello,

we were looking at a page about the adobe building in san jose (on the
irc) and thought it would be fun to put together a similar page about
where everyone works on gimp.

photos of yourself at your computer, or of airplanes going over the
place where you work (i might use a photo of a hummingbird instead) or
of the fancy floor leading into the place where you work on gimp, all
will be appreciated!

feel free to send a url to this list or the photo or url to me
personally.

the page we will be spoofing is this:
http://photoshopnews.com/feature-stories/a-visit-to-adobe/  i

gimp will be celebrating its ten year birthday this november.  even
photographs from the way back past would be interesting.

 Thanks a lot for doing this. I am really looking forward to see the

 /me goes looking for some suitable pictures and removes /ignore from

i actually prefer that you continue with the /ignore  as i do this to
your blog and do not want to stop.

do you think a hummingbird photo would be similar to the airplane photos
that can be found on the adobe page?

Hi,

Don't worry, I will go back to using /ignore as soon as I feel that
listening to you makes me aggressive. That is part of my therapy.

 do you think a hummingbird photo would be similar to the airplane
 photos that can be found on the adobe page?

IIRC, Mitch has a picture of an AWACS plane
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWACS) flying directly over our heads
at WhatTheHack.  That might make a good addition to the collection.
And yes, that was sort of frightening...
