Custom graphics - graphics prog for win in Blades of Avernum
ef Guardian Member # 2476	written Sunday, January 8 2006 10:55 Profile #13 quote: Paintshop Pro v5 is freeware Yes, it used to be while its producer 'Jasc' still owned it. But since 'Corel' has taken over 'Jasc', the freeware has vanished from the web. All you can donwnload now is Corel's trial version of Paintshop Pro X. 'The Gimp' is always a good alternative and is open source. The Gimp I also like Irfan View. Wouldn't want any other picture viewer. edit: ADoS, can you give me a link to that Photoshop 6 version you use? 'Jasc' used to be one of my favourites, I'd like to know where to download some of their former software. As to which software people use - though I know that Adobe is univerally adored, I still prefer to work with Corel and Macromedia.

How do I install Avernum 4? in Tech Support
ef Guardian Member # 2476	written Thursday, January 5 2006 08:59 Profile #17 As far as I know, the Stuffit Expander itself is freeware. It is nowadays part of a shareware program that you can use to compress files. If they didn't change the procedure, you can choose a 'Custom-Installation' and have only the Expander installed. After the 30-day trial the compression tool stops working, but the Expander should be unaffected and still functioning.

About a older (not yet found) thread in General

Drakey might know. edit: It didn't affect the whole board, just one or two of the sections. Many threads were lost, and I believe the Xian Skull was among them.

ef Guardian Member # 2476	written Monday, December 19 2005 12:32 Profile #12 quote: but it hasn't been working for a couple of weeks now Try to remember what you did before this happened. Did you install or uninstall a program or application? Ahbleza already asked, if you got a virus warning or deleted spyware. Check everything else. Is anything else causing problems too? XP has a repair function. Files can get corrupt, can be overwritten or can get lost. First check for viruses, but if there aren't any, it might be a good idea to let Windows repair itself. -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 \| Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00

Which Russian composer... in General
ef Guardian Member # 2476	written Wednesday, December 7 2005 03:41 Profile #14 quote: Ef, Smetana was Czech, not Russian. Yes, slavic but not russian, much loved in his country, and the father of Czech opera. Alorael, knowing your abhorrence of temporary music, maybe you like this piece. It's a midi for reasons of size, a waltz for piano, flute and clarinet, and astonishingly by Shostakovitch.

Which Russian composer... in General
ef Guardian Member # 2476	written Tuesday, December 6 2005 14:21 Profile #10 quote: and one more thing, the fact that Mahler is not slavic, what the hell do i care! I love his music. (By the way, may i see where you got that information? My mother (a great fan of Mahler) Says otherwise, and a few internetsites I looked at). If you check his biography you'll find that though they lived in Kalitsch, Bohemia, his father's name was Bernhard Mahler, while his mother was Maria Hermann before her marriage. Not names of slavic origin. A lot of Austrians and Germans lived in Bohemia at the time, so that is not so wonderful. But Thralni, I miss some of my favourites on your list. What about Prokoview, Strawinsky, Smetana, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin, Glinka, Pärt, Skrjabin, to name a few. edit: Uh, I somehow didn't see your post, Belisarius, so I seem to repeat your complaint.

Hurricane Katrina in General
ef Guardian Member # 2476	written Wednesday, September 7 2005 13:10 Profile #82 I read something on the internet that I didn't believe, so I went to check the FEMA website, and now I find it's true. If you want to apply for desaster assistance you have to register either by phone or online. By phone is close to hopeless, too many callers, online registration requires IE 6.0 or higher. Now you can use Opera that will pass for any browser you ask it to pass for. And some people are posting workaround codes on Katrina blogs for Macintosh and Linux users with different browsers. Nevertheless it does strengthen the impression that this agency has lost touch with reality somewhere, somewhen. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1828 \| Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00
Hurricane Katrina in General
ef Guardian Member # 2476	written Wednesday, September 7 2005 03:10 Profile #79 Article Read this article. So this clown, this unimaginable clown had all the rescue teams there, able and willing to start their work right away, but he needed a 1000 more employees for matters of coordination and PR. These employees could not arrive before late Wednesday, because they first had to undergo a special training to enable them to work in desaster zones. What is that guy supposed to lead? A zoo? And that is why everbody else who offered help was stopped from going in to save and rescue. Mr.Brown, though with deep regrets, had to wait for the arrival of his clerks. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1828 \| Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00
Hurricane Katrina in General
ef Guardian Member # 2476	written Wednesday, September 7 2005 01:16 Profile #76 quote: Go break into a grocery (if you can find one that doesn't already have an open door) and take some canned goods. Then eat. No water? Build a fire and boil some water for drinking. I recommend letting it cool a bit before drinking. I somehow doubt my ability to swim around and dive for provisions, not saying that I wouldn't try. I wouldn't recommend boiling water, not in a flooded city with industry. Sure you get rid of some germs, but considering the mixture of chemicals, of household and industrial waste in the water, you might just as easily make things worse, not better. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1828 \| Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00

ef Guardian Member # 2476	written Tuesday, September 6 2005 17:30 Profile #68 quote: Not too sure if this is true or not, but I've read in a law book one time that the states have to gain petition from the federal government before they receive any kind of aid. The governor has to proclaim a major emergency to activate federal support. Such an emergency has been proclaimed by Louisiana's governor in advance of the hurricane's landfall (either Friday or Saturday, I don't remember right now), because of its predicted severity and path. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1828 \| Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00
