i ask you: freak or dork?
i've decided i do a lot of things that maybe i could be considered a freak or a dork. but i can't decide. so let me know...
this is only mildly freakish or dorkish but it may give you insight into helping decide.
i am working on two computers side by side and they each have their own mouse near each other. trying to make a long story short. i took my dell laptop (which i hate) to mexico while i was in the field working on my project. someday i'll tell you how i was bullied into buying this little piece of "dude you're going to hell" instead of the ibook i wanted but i digress. so after every dive i downloaded my digital pictures onto the computer and stored them there. and they neatly go into their own little folder that is created everytime you download them. so when i came back these kickass pictures will go into a new update of my book that i'm writing and replace old assy pictures or just add a new and wonderful color digital photo to it. eventually i would like to have a photo or a drawing (my own thankyouverymuch) for each species in the book.
so i burnt all the photos to 3 cd's so that i can put them in the book which has been designed and built on my mac G3 laptop. but when i burned them to disk each photo is represented by a quicktime icon and so when i'm on the mac i can't see what i want to open and adjust colors and file size so i have the cool nikon viewer open on my dell so that i know which file to open instead of scrolling through and opening each of the 3000 pics i took. so i look for the photo on the dell then i call that number up on my mac and then i bring it into photoshop, make it purtier, change the file size, rename it and save it.
so i've noticed that when i'm working in photoshop on the mac which is on the right and then i need to, sayyyy, check my email which is on the dell and i take the mouse i'm holding for the mac and i try to scroll it really far left so that it will jump on to the pc and i can control the pc too. now i KNOW that this won't work and it's not like i do it because i think oh i'll try this, but i do it because i'm rolling around on the mac screen with the mouse doing cool photoshoppy things and then my email buzzes or monkey comes online and so i scroll hard left to try to push the button in the taskbar. and i realize that as many times as it has happened, i am still confused for a second when i can't figure out why the damn thing won't scroll over there onto the other computer screen.
and then i realize what i'm doing.
and then i think "DORK!"
but i don't know. you tell me.
