Deviation Actions
I use Opera as my choice of browser. In my opinion, it's superior to both Firefox and Internet Explorer. Opera is innovative, superquick, expansive and clever. Every cool feature other browsers have, Opera had first. In short, I have found my browser and I love it, much like millions of other users of this stroke of genius.
The only sad thing is that some websites have a hard time updating their pages to be compatible with Opera. Usually, it's crappy, low-end websites with bad coding and lousy updating. But sometimes...there's exceptions. Deviant Art's latest addition of full page advertisements screaming in your face before getting to the page you want to go to (god, I hate that "feature") is obviously coded so badly, it stays up, no matter how much you click the "let me past this fucking ad crap!" link. It won't go away, and you can't browse your own pages. In other words, it makes DA completely unusable if you're using the Opera browser.
This ad system is used on countless other websites, without any trace of problem. This is the only site I've visited that has this problem, so therefore it's the incompetence of the DA coders that is to blame. One could almost think it's a "clever" trick to force free members into buying an ad-free subscription.
Oh, and they're working *so* hard on it. Not.
Reply to my question to DA Support about this, dated May 9th 2006. Almost a whole fucking month, and it's obvious they knew about it before I sent my notice!

Well, *Maureen*...for your information...it's not Opera that's the problem. It's the sloppy coding of this website. Perhaps you should kick some coder butt and get them to update their incompetent skills...or maybe buy a new one off eBay. I hear they're cheap.

Regular 6-month journal thing
I figured I would write something else here since the last journalentry talks about spring in Norway. Well, it's November here now and anything *but* spring. It's getting cold and I feel the pressure to update my journal :lol:
I'm not a winter/snow person. I can appreciate that it's pretty and all, but it's also cold, wet, slushy, ugly when not pure white, slippery and dangerous. Unlike some people ( hello there FeelinStrangelyFine (https://www.deviantart.com/feelinstrangelyfine)) I don't think winter is the best season in the year :p.
Having said that, it's a gorgeous day today! Crisp, clear air, sun is shining...and no snow! Huzzah!
Spriiiiing! :)
It's spring in Norway! Spring spring spring! And it makes me happy! And it makes me smile! And happy!!
Oh, and I'll get money back on the tax returns! Wheee!
Whoa, this is like a high! Too much happiness at one time *chuckles*
Where'd the time go? Anyone?
Yeah, so it's Easter, and I was hoping to score a whole lot more Poser time than I have. Granted, my parents visited during the weekend, but I've had days where I haven't touched Poser, or...I have and then just not gotten anywhere with it. I blame myself, and the non-existant will I seem to be having. Not only concerning this, but many other things too. Not that it matters, I don't want to push myself and make stuff I don't feel like making, just to have a production line of pictures. It'll come back, I'm sure :)
In other news...I saw Brokeback Mountain today, and I loved it. It's a wonderful movie and I would heartily recommend it to anyon
Finding hidden talents
I've played around with Poser for a good six month now. I like how easy it is and I like playing around with lightsources and the material room (even though you don't see much of those tests here). I like trying to make someone's character, or a picture for someone and see the development of it, with their comments helping me get it just right.
I'm in every aspect still a beginner in this whole character composition, and I don't have the first clue about lighting, I just experiment, or I use premade lightsets. However, I do think I have an eye for details. I know myself well enough to say that I'm very nitpicky about things, and this reflect

Complaining about a free service is pretty bad form. Subscribe, then complain. Besides, as a subscriber, I didn't even *know* about the problem with the ads and so forth -- because, I don't ever see them. Not to sound like an advertisement for deviantart but hey, it's a great site with a lot of wonderful people who do their best to make it as good as it can be. Bugs happen -- c'est la vie. Take it in stride and be fair to these people.
