The GIMP is annoying me right now. I’m editing a 1600×1200 image, 3 layers, modifications on each layer, and it’s taking ages to perform simple operations such as “blur” or “magic wand”. I do have the undo-level set at 10, but my machine has plenty of RAM. Grrr.

I went to see The Two Towers last night. Thank you Mel for getting those tickets! It’s a great movie. BIG is the adjective that comes to mind.
Occasionally, the thing that stopped me reading the books annoyed me in the film, that is, the continuous running over fields day-in and day-out.. yawn! Did Peter Jackson really have to have Aragon and co. running over one bland field after another?
Mel did say that there were some major changes from the book, but he wasn’t too bothered about it. Gavin – what about you?
I can recommend this movie. Go see it!
