Thing 4.2

Layout's very interesting, especially the gadgets. I've added a 'subscribe to' button and rearranged the sidebar, but made a mental note to revisit it when I have a 23 Things dedicated RSS reader to feed into. I think that's next.

Thing 4.1

So many blogs, so little time! I've had a quick flick as it were, made the occasional comment (mainly commiserating with others who've fallen as woefully behind as me) and found a couple of interest to follow. I can't work out for the life of me how to follow the 23 Things Oxford blog, even though it too is powered by Blogger; somehow the obvious button's been removed, and I've faffed with it for long enough. Another time perhaps.

Thing 3

This, as demonstrated by the post labelled Thing 2 below (are you following me? I realise the continuity's reminiscent of Memento: feel free to tattoo a reminder on your torso), is where I learned something. Something oh so simple; so much so that I really feel I ought to have known it already. It's that Paint (formerly Paintbrush for Windows, if that rustles your mental archives) can save as a jpeg. Really, I'd written off that simple program that nestles on almost every computer years ago, as only producing bitmaps that were never what I wanted. Times have changed, and next time I need a simple crop or screenshot I won't be waiting five minutes for Photoshop to fire up.
