I'm away at a music festival until next monday

see you all soon

For anyone who plays piano, guitar, bass, etc...here's an interesting chord pattern i found

D (1st, 3rd and 4th notes)
C (1st, 4th and 5th)
C (1st, 3rd and 5th)
G (1st and 5th)

i couldn't be bothered to write out the chords as a music score cause i'm lazy.

Feedback?

I have had an idea

*pauses theatrically and waits for others to run for cover*

Ok, basically i was playing PokerTH (a freeware poker game) and i realised just how boring the cards on this game really are.

Standard annoying plain white cards with an annoyingly patterned other side

I thought to myself "Ok Francis, what can we do to remedy this?"
So i looked through the source files and voilà! a folder containing the graphics for the 52 cards plus the flipside.

Next thing i knew, i had fired up my nice sleek GIMP 2.4.5 setup and opened a new XCF file at 1000x1300 px (a scale up from the original card size)

Within 20 minutes i had 5 cards done including a rather theatrical ace of spades
(you may sing motorhead at your peril, i have a 12 gauge in my wardrobe)

The whole set should be done within the week
And maybe a rather fetching poker wallpaper too if i'm feeling nice:
Someone's getting a present

Now, i'm in the mood to make a tequila sunrise and play some badminton (yes, i am only 15, but there's no law against MAKING cocktails)
