So I'm back with my own 7MB inter-web-o-matic connection! BULLY!
I have avoided getting one foe the following reasons:
-The building I live in was under a monopoly by Millennium Digital Media, meaning a 1.5MB Cable connection cost 60 bucks a month.
-I was hoping for WIFI signal to come along to leech off of
-I don't want to get hooked to the web ... I've been maintaining a B average.
-It's been hard maintaining financial stability
-busy, busy, busy.
I seem to have it worked out now though.
Now that I am back online I need to get my website up. Now here is something I hate to say; QMOW.net (The site not the story) is dead, but that it might be for the best.
I forsee a new elegant design, that doesn't have 300+ pictures but mainly my best work from all over the years. The logo and QMOW purple will still be there though. I also want to have a blog/podcast on it.
Did I mention I have a new mac too? It's the 20 inch 2GHZ Intel CoreDuo iMac with 1GB of RAM and a ginormous HDD that I don't feel like remembering. It compliments my old iMac, and it allows me to my work much more easily.
Photoshop is not as fast as it should be because it's not Intel-native yet, but it's faster than any of the computers at school, and definitely faster than my old iMac.
It handles video awesomely ... as a simple example; I can scale a 720p HD video while it's running in a Quicktime window without any lag.
And it's also connected my surround sound system with a optical cable ... it makes audio work much easier as well.
Why I do I need such power? I Pretty much push the limits of any system I'm on ... here's a project Im working on. It's 30x24 inches at 300 DPI ... thats 7471x9000 pixels ...
... That's fucking huge.
And there's *at least* 20 layers in it.
It was draw in pencil, inked, scanned, digitally "inked" in illustrator to maker cleaner hi-rez vector outlines for poster size, now it's being colored in photoshop.
The background is being worked on simultaneously, which you'll likely see when it's finished.
Anyway, here it is.
