So proud of myself! Finally (mostly) tidied up the confusing mess that is my bookmarks. Try as I might to organise them well, they’re still far from perfect, but they’re better. I have so damned many–some I’ve had for literally years–that perfect isn’t a reasonable expectation, but I use good descriptions, keep them alphabetised in topic folders and I’ve got the EBS plugin for Firefox, so hopefully it’ll be easier to find what I want when I want it.

Alastair’s getting curious about me. He still doesn’t come out of his cave until he’s good and ready and even then only if I’m absolutely still, but he does poke his little face out to see me. Poor little mite; so frightened for no good reason. He’s making the association between me and food, though, and hopefully he’ll be able to move into a permanent home soon. He’ll feel much better with more space and a jungle of his own. LP2 was terrified at first, too, and now he greets me with Happy Fish Dances and sometimes Gills of Fear. I love Ally’s wee droopy fishie arms.

Sunny today at least, but still fucking cold. If I ever get my hands on that groundhog, he’s in deep shit.

P.S. Why is there a Deweirdifyer only for GIMP on Windows? More PS users might be willing to switch if there was an option to get rid of that ridiculous, sloppy SDI. I don’t want fourteen GIMP windows stuck all over my panel, and when I do something else and want to move GIMP to the back, I want the whole damned thing to get out of my way, and come back together when I tell them. I know some people like that interface, and fair enough even to make it the default, but to offer no other option is to tell PS users “you should switch even though we don’t care what is easiest for you to use or for what you’ve asked, and if you don’t like it, the source is there–redesign it yourself”. If PS users could redesign the damned thing, they would, but they’re not geeks, they’re just people who do graphics. GIMShop rearranges the menus, but that’s really not the problem; it’s the constant “Where the hell is my window?”
