Reading (For Dummies)

Frustrations

I'm meaning to type meaningful entries with more pictures, but my computer isn't cooperating. Really. After I installed Apple's X11 server and tried to install the gimp in fink, everything barfed. Fink thinks I have no xserver, and won't install the xserver placeholder placeholder package due to a preinst script error. So no pictures until I completely re-install fink and hopefully get it to play nice, and get the gimp working. iPhoto is nice and all, but it doesn't know how to compress jpeg's worth a damned...photos that the gimp makes 12k, iPhoto makes 120k. I just don't have the bandwidth for big files like that....

But stay tuned....I took pictures of the Elbe flooding again, this time there are ice flows on the streets. Amazing stuff!
