GIMP menus are going to be reorganized! Finally, no more Script-Fu, or Python menus, only one “Filters” menu!
What I’d love to see in the GIMP is a “My filters” menu where I could drag and drop frequently used menu functions. I’d drop Levels, Curves, Rotate, Scale and Unsharp to that menu for starters!

Game Reenactment – Counterstrike and Grand Theft Auto
I’m a bit late to this, as both of these movies have appeared on slashdot already, but they’re worth mentioning again!
Grand Theft Auto is acted out in grand_theft_by_otherside.mpg, a 129MB movie following our hero through 3 missions. Boing Boing linked to the Counter Strike Reenactment.
The GTA one is better, but as I haven’t played it, I found the CS one more entertaining! Love the toilet roll grenades!

Yum! Ice cream!
While waiting for our lunch in a restaurant in Killarney.
photoSIG – Torc Waterfall
We went down to Killarney this afternoon, and while there visited Torc Waterfall. It’s a beautiful location, the walk up to it is through a tree covered path surrounded by green-mossy rock and vegetation. I snapped a few shots up there so imagine my surprise when I saw that someone had posted a photo of the falls on Photosig a few minutes ago!
It’s unlike any of the ones I took, and it’s nice for me to see a different perspective on a beautiful scene!
Cobh Lit Up
We called down to a friend’s house in Cobh last week. Here’s a shot I took outside.

All that beer…
What a waste!
In other news, deer and other wild animals were spotted stumbling along in an unusual manner yesterday.
