We are blessed to have such great friends and family who donated so much time! We REALLY appreciate all the people that helped out with Micah this weekend as well. It was a life saver knowing he was be looked after with love and that all his needs were met!

I haven’t posted here in a while and I promise once things are setup I will be posting some pictures of the house. Another item that is in the work is a review on a robotic eavestrough cleaner that a friend is lending me for a couple of days. I’m going to try and do a video review on the product which will the first of many video reviews to come now that I own a HD flip video recorder.

  1. Open the registry. START – Run – regedit
  2. Find this Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TrendMicro\PC-cillinNTCorp\CurrentVersion\Misc
  3. Change the “AllowUninstall” value to 1.
  4. Go to Add/Remove Programs and remove trend.
  5. If you have to do this on multiple machines what I recommend you do is to export the “AllowUninstall” key and save it as a .reg file.
  6. You can then run the .reg file on any other machine and you will now be able to uninstall Trend OfficeScan Antivirus.

Hope this helps you remove the Trend OfficeScan Client password from the Registry.

Once this crazy house search is over I’ll feel much better :) Thanks for a the help and support of our family and friends. Without you, this time of craziness would be so much harder.

It will be so worth it to the little guy once this is all done. Here’s the most recent picture of Micah and me.

I thought maybe I was in a different language format at first. Then I realized that all the vowels were missing! It reminded me of how all the 6th graders text. So my question is:

Is Google trying too hard to be hip?

 

*UPDATE* – Just realized it was april fools day!

I am hoping later tonight or tomorrow I will post a “how to” on this because there isn’t all that much info on the internet! The stuff that is out there is so badly fragmented with B.S. and truth I am happy I actually used the right combo of info. I will be nice and make a complete step by step to help other people out in the same situation. :)

UPDATE – I know a few of you were asking today how my courses are going. I’ve only got about another 1hr and 1/2 in my color correcting course to go through. This will be the third Photoshop course I have gone through in 2 months. I am hoping to do some vector drawing courses next. I am hoping this will help me when designing logo’s for companies as well as help me with some of my web designs.

What a great day!

What he said stuck a nerve and really inspired me. I know this doesn’t nearly do the speech enough justice but here was most of the conversation:

Chris said:

Every year I get my students to do something that they normally don’t do. For example one student wore two different shoes. One was blue and the other one was white and she wore them like that for the entire day.

She said to me that Chris, when I went out for the day, I was really self conscience about myself. My senses were heightened. I was noticing everything, I was noticing everyone’s observation of me. She said: “You know what? No one even paid attention.” She said: I think the whole thing was more important to me then anyone else. She said it made me realize I want to take more chances. I want to do more. I loved how it heightened my awareness and observed things I wouldn’t have even noticed.

I think everyone should take a queue from Chris and his student. Do things different every day. Bring an energy to what you do and try to notice what is going on around you. You just might find something special you would have never noticed had you not “taken the chance”.

The post appears to have now been removed by Microsoft.

Here’s a copy of that post:

I believe Actions were added to Photoshop in CS2 so I believe most of these will work in CS2 or higher. I personally will have only tried these items in CS4 on a PC so if you are using anything else your millage may vary.

PanosFX – This website has a ton of FREE and FREE for personal use actions. If you need them for your business you can also pay to use them for a small fee. Here is a listing of the different actions. You will most likely need to login into the site in order to download the actions by creating a free username.

 

Emanual Feronato – This person was nice enough to provide a action to re-create the LOMA effect, and several other Actions.

From Wikipedia: Lomography is a commercial trademark of Lomographische AG, Austria for products and services related to photography. The name is licensed from a former state-run optics company LOMO PLC in St. Petersburg, Russia. The 35 mm LOMO LC-A camera employed an unusual lens
which produced large amounts of distortion at the edges of the image whilst keeping the center sharp, and was promoted by businessmen from Austria with international gallery shows.

Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Accidents such as over-saturated colors, lens artifacts, and exposure defects are rehabilitated to produce swirly, abstract effects, a trait emphasized by practitioners. Others use the technique to document everyday life, because the small camera size and ability to shoot in low light encourages candid photography and photo reportage.

 

Addicted to Design

This site has only a few free actions for Photoshop but they seem to have a bunch of good paid for ones that I haven’t tried. You can find all their free actions by going to this link:

 

Night Fate Actions

Night Fate created several good actions for Photoshop and posted them on Deviant Art. Here the download location:

 

Princess of Shadows

Has a few good quality Actions and you can download them at:

 

Vindauga

Created a nice Action script to really make the photo look vintage. Dowload the Action here:
