Deck Plans VI: The Undiscovered Bowling Alley

[B.J.]

In the meantime, I've managed to snag a copy of Corel Draw 9. Is it worth going through the learning curve, or am I better off sticking with Paint Shop Pro?

Considering that the former is a vector program, and the latter is a raster program, I'd keep both. They both have their strengths and weaknesses as well as different uses. It's just up to you as to how you use them. Personally, I use Corel Draw 8 alongside GIMP, and it depends on what I'm doing as to which I use, and sometimes I use both.

Well, I guess since I'm wanting to get in reeeeeeeeeeally close on these puppies, it's probably good that I snagged it, then.

Well, I guess since I'm wanting to get in reeeeeeeeeeally close on these puppies, it's probably good that I snagged it, then.

I'm just using Inkscape (open source, right price) and I'm still becoming increasingly dependent on vector. Raster is dead to me now.

 

[Captain Robert April]

I think I'll always have to deal with raster stuff at some stage, if only because it's easier to post pics of what I've come up with.

 

[Ziz]

I thought I told you before, man...check out Paint.Net or GIMP. Free and do what Photoshop and Corel do (more or less).

 

[Captain Robert April]

I'll check it out when I'm on my own computer (at the library at the moment....love that high speed connection ).

 

[Captain Robert April]

Corrallary to above: Were you aware that every laptop sold by Best Buy for the past couple of years has high speed wireless internet capability already built in?To think I've been wasting the past six months on dial-up...

 

[Captain Robert April]

Shameless bump.

 

[doctorwho 03]

That reminds me of my cat when he lays on the floor on his back, just without the beer and remote.

 

[Captain Robert April]

Somewhat back on topic, any word on if Shaw is gonna get back on that survey of the eleven footer?

 

[Captain Robert April]

So no word on Shaw's progress?

 

[Tallguy]

Alas all has been quiet on the Shaw frontier.

 

[Shaw]

I'm currently working on some math related projects which are occupying most of my free time. Believe me, when I get to a good stopping point on that stuff, I'll be more than happy to pour a ton of time into this. In fact, I'll need to put that type of time into something else just to decompress from being so immersed in these current projects.

 

[Captain Robert April]

At least we now know what's up.

So, in the meantime, I'll just stick with occasional bumps to keep this thread on the front page.

I need more dopey pictures...

 

[Captain Robert April]

How 'bout a little culture?

 

[Captain Robert April]

Looking ahead a bit, maybe as a follow-up I'll do some deck plans for this sucker...

 

[doctorwho 03]

That would be sweet. Will it have a bowling alley too?

 

[Captain Robert April]

I dunno...Decker struck me as more of a skeeball fan....

 

[Praetor]

As long as it's not water polo.

Nothing against water polo, just Archer.

 

[Captain Robert April]

I don't think that sucker has a pool.

For that matter, I don't think I put a pool in the Constitution class, either.

(Still haven't settled on a class name for the AMT model...any ideas?)
