The above is an accurate description of how I feel at this current juncture in time.
You may have noticed that there has been a rather large period of silence since my last post on this blog. If I hadn't bothered to take this blog seriously, I'd have put that down to boredom... but alas no. Like my fellow facedesking compatriot above, there is an actual reason to my silence.
For reasons beyond my grasp, my graphics card has decided it has had enough of my prolific photo editing abuse and has promptly given up doing much useful with itself. While still functional, due to a very strange error concerning the way the OpenGL drivers in Photoshop utilize it which developed over the course of a few months, I am no longer able to effectively do much in Photoshop. And I spent a good few hours trying to find out why but the sad reality is that enabling OpenGL in Photoshop, (that's what lets me use all the cool features to be simple), makes my graphics drivers crash and, in turn, Photoshop to crash. Huzzah. You Bastard... On the upside, if I have a few hours of life to waste, the simpler aspects of Photoshop do work... very... very... slowly. So joys abound.
In any case, seeing as graphics cards are hardly cheap, I will not be spending overmuch time frustrating myself pointlessly with semi-functionality until such time as a replacement is found. Until then, I've heard bird-watching is interesting?
Scratch that, I'm going to go beat my head on a desk until the resulting vibrations within my cranial cavity begin to sound like music. Or until it hurts. Whichever comes first.
Later Gators.
