I'm told that you must write something — anything — and send to five people or you will die of boredom.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, this was an.. interesting meme. First time I've tried to hook up the scanner on my PowerBook, and apparently the first time I've tried to edit a picture! Neither one of which worked properly. Bah.<\/p>\n

Gaz detected the scanner fine; at least, it showed up properly in system profiler. However, it no worky at all. The scanner never even tried to light up, even when I pushed the “scan” button on the scanner itself. As for Gaz – image capture refused to believe there was a device attached.<\/p>\n

So I cheated – I used the digital camera. :)<\/p>\n

And that's when I realized I hadn't played with any images since I got this thing!!! Graphic converter is a little stinky, at least for this purpose. I don't know about iPhoto – near as I can tell, it works on the originals – I didn't find any place to save the results separately. I sure don't want my originals messed with!<\/p>\n

So it looks like I'm either going to have to learn more about iPhoto (well, I should anyway) or I need to install (and learn to use, dammit) Gimp.<\/p>\n

Ah well. The image is up, and sorta readable. I hope.<\/p>\n

PS – The above image is PROOF as to why I take 98% of all notes in notepad or somesuch equivalent. Sheesh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
