Staying Healthy
Not in Finland. I'm not sure if it's true, but I've heard that more people die here of vitamin D deficiency than skin cancer due to polar night (Opposite of midnight sun). As such I take vitamin D tablets once a day from October to April.

My first decent pixel sig
Yeah what was I thinking lol, I never pixel. But it's true for other kinds of signatures where complete exactness is not important.

Today...
Yeah, same. Many people here seem to want these phones which have all these extra functions. I have a really simple phone even though I'm a power user because my parents paid for it and wouldn't get me anything over ~75 euros. Next phone I get will probably be a smartphone and hopefully run Linux. :-D But that could be a while.

My first decent pixel sig
Limit is 100kb now, also if you want to save space save as JPG at 100 or 99 quality (Assuming you're not using something like Paint, but Photoshop and GIMP can do it).

The Ghosts Of World War II's Past
I always find it strange to think that world-changing events happened right on our collective doorstep, like the way that I have lived in an area that was under the control of Soviet Russia during the fifties.

Tourists
I'm going into my tenth year of learning Finnish now, I still can't speak it. Hurray! :| (Swedish took me about a year to learn fluently) Haha swing and a miss. Finnish and Swedish originate from two completely different language trees. :-P edit: not that only "miten sinä?" would make any sense. Needs a verb! You can say that about language trees again. Miten sinä is correct as a phrase (Or so I would think, although it's an unusual expression. Mitä sinä kuuluu is more generic but nobody says that either).

Today...
As for this guitar discussion, I have most of "Is there anybody out there" by Pink Floyd, I can't figure out how to do a couple things however (I'm doing it by ear). One is the ending chord, can someone help me with that? I don't follow them but I do them myself. Today I worked on one of the most basic gymnastics moves, a cartwheel. :| I still can't do it right, I never learned it as a kid. I should get warmed up again and practice my back handspring. I should be able to move from doing it on a ~5cm thick mattress to just grass today. :)

You guys should go outside tonight at Midnight.
Yawn. I suppose if I don't see it tonight I can just wait until winter. (Okay so I've never seen one- Yet. But I sure have a lot bigger chance than most other people here)

It just goes beep beep beep....
^ That. The beeps are a code, that can mean something like faulty RAM.

My Site's moving right along :o
Yeah for me there's a delay between when I click on the next arrow and when anything starts moving. Not a significant delay, but annoying. :razz:

My Site's moving right along :o
You should try to make the time from the click on the arrow to animation shorter. Gives it a more polished feel. I do applaud your jQuery skills though, very nice.

MP3 Players
I must admit that I was actually impressed by the original Zune (No idea about the latest one). I have a Creative Zen Stone mp3 player that works great though, I recommend it. (Although you'll need something with a larger capacity)
-
Apple Magic Trackpad
The idea is that you can use multitouch. I've got my Bamboo fun, so no need for this even if I had a Mac.

Linux Questions
Ubuntu's easy, I managed to figure it out without anyone explaining it to me. Some programs I'd get: GIMP (Image editor) Banshee (Media player) Google chrome Skype Just ask here if you need help.

jQuery + CSS Issues
I wrote a gallery in jQuery a while ago (Octoberish last year), similar to that. You could have a look at the code, GPL licensed. I don't remember how I did it, but I might have done something like overflow:hidden. http://insteadofthem.org/gallery/ That's about all the help I can offer right now.

Making Videos
I do believe that WMM has moved to become some sort of "Windows Live" product. I think that's the only version that runs on W7. Yeah, here we are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Live_Movie_Maker

Tetris Attack
(Can't give a full answer right now, as I'm traveling) As it happens, Blender 2.5 went into beta within the last few hours of this post. I tried baking a full render on the default cube, forgot how to do it, and as it happened, it did crash. :razz: But I managed to do it correctly just two weeks ago, so I'm not too sure.

Making Videos
Although personally I think it's a bit of a hassle when you're just going to do a simple album art/music video, Avidemux looks pretty good. Failing that, Blender would work but it is complete overkill.

Making Videos
Windows movie maker would work great if you are running windows, otherwise I'm sure I can find numerous free ones which would work.

iSketch
...That still doesn't work on Linux. It seems to me that something that worked for everyone (As in run for everyone) would be the best solution.

Tetris Attack
Camera tracking, lighting, and color correction were off, some places more than others, (What program did you use to camera track, or did you just animate all the camera movements in Blender?) but for a first try I can say that you certainly put in a lot of effort. What version of Blender are you using? As a tip for next time, try lighting the objects in Blender as they would be lit in real life, (Position the light sources in the scene in the same places as they were placed in real life) and also try learning about lighting (I would start here, and then go here) so that you know how to light the real life and Blender scenes. You should also look into color correcting your real life footage, a lot of shots were overexposed. But like I said, overall, for a first try, very good.

Making RuneScape prettier
What I find most annoying is that you are unwilling to learn. Photoshop/GIMP/whatever is incredibly easy, said bluntly it takes very little skill to do with them what you did with Vegas. That said, you probably just used filters in Vegas to achieve those effects, which doesn't take much skill either (Or for that matter any more skill than doing it in PS/GIMP). As for the actual pictures themselves, they're just cliché over-saturated filter effects. But that doesn't disturb me as much as what I talked about above.

Why couldn't the OP have promoted something that doesn't require Mac/Windows to run... :| OMGPop.com has "Draw my thing", which is the same thing just written in Flash.

What are your flaws?
Once I start something I always feel like I have to finish it well, and then there's always something that gets in the way.
