If I don't answer your messages/comments: I'M NOT DEAD or ignoring you.

I'm going to be gone for a few days, busy invading BF animate_alcazar 's personal space! :D
There shall be: Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4, Sushi and FANTASTIC SOUP .

O.o

Yes. Yes, indeed.

I am taking with my laptop and I'll be checking on things every now and again, but probably not that often.

Will be taking pictures, naturally. Will regal you all with tails of our insanity. Will be back and checking things fully on the 13th.

Added screenshots of locked sections to EARLIER POST. Please go back and check them.

I've just come across a site that's been re-posting material from many livejournal users. A few items in their News page have credits, (though not properly linked), but most items on the main areas of the site do not. I've already found several things belonging to me that have been re-posted without credit or permission. I have also found many things taken frompixiezdust 's F-locked entries. Please check to see if any of your fanworks are also there! Pages of interest include:


PHOTO MANIPULATIONS
MAGAZINE SCANS
AVATARS
SCREENSHOTS

The following may have also been reposted, but I have been unable to access the pages to confirm:

WALLPAPER
FANART
FANFICTION

I would be of great help if someone who speaks/reads Russian could inspect aforementioned pages and take screencaptures.

I have already taken the usual precaution of taking screenshots of all the pages, but please go and inspect everthing for yourselves:

If you find anything please comment and let me know.

Mwahahah

How about you?

I noticed Gackt had updated his diary again so I poked around and deciphered what little I could and...

THE MOON SAGA?

AGAIN?

MORE??

STILL???


DEAR GOD WHY?


Gahhh.... I'll yack on this more, a little later. Once I've had adequate time to bemoan fate. :D

A picture?! Wow. Now that's a new one for the books.


Mwahahhh.... Chacha, honey, did we run out of detangler? XD

I've been getting a lot of questions regarding the screenshots of my desktop and how I tweaked my taskbar, etc and if its hard to do.

So here's a quicky on Windows Vista:


Vista in it's original form looks like this:







So how do we go from that, to this:







Windows Vista, (like earlier versions) only comes with a few options for customizing its themes and its designed to keep users from being able to install their own. But of course, where there's a will there's a way.

To install your own theme, the uxtheme.dll file in windows must first be patched. ("patch" being the sugar coated tech term for "fuck around with")
The computer savvy can do this manually, but I'm going to go ahead and assume that you aren't computer savvy. Which means, that you need software to do it for you.

When you go out looking for a software to do this, the first and most prolific program you'll come across will likely be Windows Blinds. I strongly recommend against it. Windows Blinds allows even the most novice of PC users to customize a desktop, but in the end, you find you've traded RAM use, for ease of use. This program sucks up RAM like a sponge! When I tested the trial version, my desktop (a high end gaming and graphics computer) started to clunk along after only a few minutes. Did I mention that you get to pay $19.95 for the privilege of killing your memory usage?

So what to use? The answer is VistaGlazz. VistaGlazz won't assist you in installing themes or changing preferences. All it does is patch the necessary files. So once you have VistaGlazz downloaded and installed, all you have to do is launch the program and click the first to options:


For instance I use (and love) the paid version of the Stardock ObjectDock, instead of desktop icons. Oh and did you know that those fun sidebar gadgets will stay open and working on you desktop, without the ugly sidebar? XD

Anyway, hopefully this answered everyone's questions!
