General Chatter

So, I was wondering... Does anyone else think that the loading screen from DSII would make a good screen saver?
I thought it would be pretty cool myself.

The show makes me look dense as it is, but this kid is something else.

I just installed the update, and wow... different. I'm trying Tabs On Top to see if I like it, but I'm a big user of the Bookmarks Toolbar and it kind of gets in the way when I do that. I've put my bookmarks listing down in the Add-On Bar for now (where the status bar used to be... now status updates are dynamic without dedicated screen space).

All this (including hiding the menu bar entirely) greatly increases the screen space available for web page content, which I'm really liking so far.

Anyone else trying the new Firefox?

Hey guys, I don't know if anyone here remembers me any more ... but who's still around posting here?

Looking for a good .dds converter for windows 7 since DDS Converter 2 does not work. Tried the .dds plugin for GIMP but could not get it to work correctly.

Not free, but relatively inexpensive, Image Converter Plus seems like a very good program.

If anyone has contact with Dulac, they may want to let him know Siegecore is starting to get some spam posts.

Just a random thread... if any specific quote from DS or DS2 really sticks out in your head from your fond memories, post it here. I'll start.

Ooooh! Look on my porch at the handsome dandies,
Seeking staves from the goblin's horde
Look how they hold their nose in the air,
Not so much as a blink, nor stare
Verna knows how to catch their eye:
Healing salves are here to buy!
Fresh from the pot are my potions made,
Goodies from your pouch I will take for trade ...
