Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been here much. Well, due to a major upheaval in my personal life I'm afraid I won't be doing any more skins or artwork. I just wanted to say that you guys have been great to me over the years, and to everyone who ever downloaded any of my work, thank you very much.

I leave here an open invitation for anyone to use my work in any way they want without my permission as I wont be available to give it.

 

Have Fun!! B[]

Grrrrrrrrrrrr......

For some reason, when using Photoshop CS I can only write in uppercase letters (CAPITALS)!!!  this just started a couple of days ago and is REALLY annoying me. No matter how many times I try and change it nothing works. At first I thought my caps lock button was stuck. Anyone know if I could have accidentally changed a setting in photoshop, or has anyone else experienced this before?

Any help would be appreciated......... Thanks Guys. B[]

Need input......

O.K. I just noticed something happening, and at first I thought I was going crazy. It's quite difficult to describe, so bear with me.......

If I open two windows side by side on my desktop and put them near the top of the screen, they are both the same colour and contrast. Obviously, you might say. However, If I then grab one of those windows and slowly move it towards the bottom of the screen, it gets lighter and lighter the further I move it down, until if I drag it all the way down so that the titlebar is just above the taskbar, the two windows look COMPLETELY different.

This also means that, although I made a taskbar from the same graphic that I used for the titlebar, the taskbar is about 20 shades lighter than a maximized window!.

Now, I recently got a new monitor, (a few days after Christmas) but I'm sure I had noticed the same thing on my old CRT monitor. BUT, I recently got a new graphics card too, just before I switched monitors. It's an Nvidia G-Force 6200.

Could the graphics card be responsible for this problem? Have any of you heard of this problem before, and if so, was it graphics card related? Any light you guys can shed on this would be a great help as it's starting to drive me insane now, and I can't judge the colors of my skins anymore.

Thanks in advance guys!........ Bryan. B[]

your thoughts?

I released my 98th WindowBlind skin recently, and I have a couple more before I reach that 100th skin, but I'm thinking that maybe the 100th skin will be a master skin. If I am going to make a master skin that you guys might like to purchase, I know it will have to be special, and I know it will have to be totally complete. That's not a problem, I am prepared to put the hours in to make a complete skin, BUT, I would like some input from the community as to how this skin should look.

If you have ever looked through my gallery you will know that I like to create some wild and weird stuff, and I like to do animated skins too if the idea excites me. I can do abstract type skins, "machine" looking skins, or minimal skins. Color is a very important factor for me too.

So, any and all input and suggestions from you guys will be received gratefully, and hopefully I can make a skin to be proud of and that you will like to buy.

Tell me what you would like to see...............

Thank you. Bryan (BoXXi)

I got an infection in one of my teeth 3 days ago. The agony slowly built to an incredulous crescendo today, so much so that I had to try and find a dentist to help me....... on Christmas Eve...........

I ended up at the local dentistry hospital where student dentists practice on you, but you don't have to pay. They decided it would be a good idea to let a student practice an extraction.

So, I now have a huge, profusely bleeding hole in my mouth, which is only marginally less painful than the infected tooth. I can't wait to try and eat my Christmas dinner tomorrow, before I go back to work........ And people wonder why I hate Christmas. It usually reserves something really cool for me like this every year.

And to top it all off, my Christmas present, a super duper new widescreen monitor, didn't arrive. So it's gonna be new year before THAT arrives.

Merry Christmas BoXXi....................... NOT!!!!

Here's why

[B]Men Are Just Happier People[/B]...... Here's a few reasons why:

Your last name stays put.

The garage is all yours.

Wedding plans take care of themselves.

Chocolate is just another snack.

You can never be pregnant.

You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.

You can wear NO shirt to a water park.

Car mechanics tell you the truth.

The world is your urinal.

You never have to drive to another petrol station toilet because this one is just too icky.

You don't have to stop and think which way to turn a nut on a bolt.

Same work, more pay.

Wrinkles add character.

People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.

The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.

New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.

One mood all the time.

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.

You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.

If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is £4.95 for a three-pack.

Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.

You almost never have strap problems in public.

You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original colour.

The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.

You only have to shave your face and neck.

You can play with toys all your life.

One wallet and one pair of shoes one colour for all seasons.

You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.

You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife.

You have freedom of choice concerning growing a moustache..

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.


No wonder men are happier.


NICKNAMES
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.
If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each
other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.

EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in £20, even
though it's only for £32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and
none will actually admit they want change back.
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.


MONEY
A man will pay £2 for a £1 item he needs.
A woman will pay £1 for a £2 item that she doesn't need but it's on
sale

BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving
cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from M&S.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A
man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

CATS
Women love cats.
Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.

FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the bins,
answer the phone, read a book, and get the post.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.


NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about
dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favourite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.



THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

At my age you don't care......
