Switching to the GIMP

Photoshop 7.0 for Mac OSX is out! It looks sweeeet. Of course, it’s $600 American. That’s $1200 Australian. That’s a month’s rent. I cannot justify spending a bloody month’s rent on a piece of software. Thus, as of yesterday I have officially switched to The GIMP. It’s not the easiest thing in the world to use, but it’s got good documentation, it does nearly everything Photoshop does (which is way more than I need anyway), and it’s free. And I don’t have that icky feeling of being a software stealer anymore. In fact, everything on my machine is now legal! How many people can say the same?

    Awwww, I wouldn’t have turned you in. (Unless the bounty was really good.) 🙂

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
