I haven’t been posting much about the Chance project lately. This isn’t because it’s dead in the water, but because, erm. I just haven’t been. Ardian’s been doing the inks, which is kind of cool, because not only does it mean the lines of his work are definitely being preserved, but also every time I get an inked page it’s at least subtlely, and sometimes significantly, different from the ‘final’ pencils that I saw. I’ve got more than half the inked pages now and might, assuming email behaves properly, get…
comic book storytelling
The ideal of a comic book is to tell a story so well wedded between words and pictures that it’s incomplete without one of those aspects. More or less any comic book does that as a run of the mill storytelling aspect, with occasional forays into all-silent issues or, in Terry Moore’s case, periodic breaks into actual prose when there’s too much story to tell in a short period of time through art and limited wordspace.

Just pick up whatever is closest. 6. Tag three people. I’m not going to tag anybody, nor was I tagged myself, but…
Gngh.
Geek failure. In following various suggestions I seem to have added “WinXPDisableZeroConfiguration.exe”, which I’m pretty sure is the disable program from here, and now *it’s* eating my processing power. It’s a registry modification and I not only don’t know how to delete it, I’m afraid to try because, well, registry stuff. Augh. Unlike the earlier problem, using the task manager to shut it down does bring my CPU load back down to normal. However, Flash still seems to be crashing the browser/computer, so at least *that* hasn’t improved. ETA: OMG.…
firefox problem
I need the expertise of somebody more expert than myself. :) Last week I downloaded and installed a Flash update for Firefox. Since then when I open Firefox it eats a huge amount of system resources, and any time I go to a page with Flash, it gives me an error message and suggests I restart Navigator. My CPU usage zings up to 100% and stays there, making it more or less impossible to do anything else with the computer. I’ve run a Windows update. said Firefox had done an…
