for those with photoshop 6

A couple of things for people who are bored, you probably already all know these but anyway:
1. Open PhotoShop 6
2. hold down CTRL-ALT
3. go to Help > About PhotoShop...
4. see the cat (Venus in Furs) (you let up on the keys now)

another?

When you have the normal about photoshop screen up (not the venus in firs), wait for the credits to start rolling
1) press + hold Alt (speeds up credits)
2) hold in CTRL as well
3) let go of Alt
4) click the big eye (while still holding CTRL)
5)Read the 60 or so messages

Voila! Something to take up a few minutes

Works in Photoshop 5.5 too

except it's some kind of seagull thing instead of a cat.

Built-in b3taness

A few b3ta-esque things to note:

1. The photoshopped cat
2. The word 'beta' down the left hand side of the image.
3. The phrases 'cats! Why does it always have to be cats?' followed by 'So many evil plans, so little time' in the rolling text.

In bed, debating whether to go to sleep or not (finished work at 6am).
And it's a rather cool 15-20 with the window open.

..bluetac the bastards to the window, its the best solution.

i think that atmosphere around islington is actually physically think enough to stop the windows being open.

now we've got a crusty old fan going. Sounds like a mechanical cheesegrater.

ah well, at least i'm earning money

(pissycocks GIRAFFETASTIC!, Fri 8 Mar 2002, 5:27, archived)

o'reilly's

dynamic HTML and javascript are the books, the third one might be something like history of videogaming, or something like that.

Can I Just Add That...

The way we worked out the JavaScript book was to measure the thickness of all the Orielly books we have in the office. Why? Because we're sad like that.

looking at the bookshelf over my monitor, which is almost as sad.

One of the downsides of no-longer living in Cambridge is not being able to pick up books like that cheap off leaving students :(

chthonic, Fri 8 Mar 2002, 5:10, archived)

wow. You are all clever.

You are right about the o'reilly books. The video games book is called "Trigger Happy", (pretentious tripe) and the magazine is a print out of the remade Zapp64 (don't bother, it's not a good read.) that was mentioned in last weeks NTK.

Thor_sonofodin has done things, terrible things on, Fri 8 Mar 2002, 5:15, archived)

Well one is

O'Reilly's Dynamic HTML - the definitive reference, so I'm guessing the one below is the excellent JavaScript - the definitive guide.

The other book is that history of videogames (forgotten title) isn't it?

Is it Halo or Command & Conquer in the B&W image?
