My birthday is drawing closer and (to my horror) the trees around town are blossoming. *sneeze* I've spent the first few days of my week-long spring break cleaning up my room, my desk, and some of the code around the website. I fixed ... http://www.shadow-logic.net/2008/03/25/spring-cleaning/ From the looks of the current poll results and the slight popularity of my last Gimp post, it looks like many of you are dying for more gimp resources.
