There, your wish is my command.

Hopefully, I’ll flesh it out more as I make improvements in my script.

Living my whole life in Norway I must admit I’m glad it’s not snowing all through the year. It is beautiful at first, really beautiful. Then it gets cold, wet, dirty and all you want is a friggin’ break. Then again, it’s a long time since I did any winter sports.

Haha, that’s a hoot… although, I think we’ll stick to grass

As for the pics; you like that little border and drop shadow thingie? I wrote a little ImageMagick script in bash to auto process them. Uses $RANDOM to create an arbitrary rotation and ImageMagick to lay out all the nice border and shadows. It’s tedious to do it over and over in gimp, so I just automated it. I’ll post a tutorial at some point, I’m sure.

Oooh! Criollo sledding was a favorite activity of mine when I was a little kid. It even worked on steep driveways when it rained (wet car oil residue made the driveway slick.)

I’m afraid I’m going to have to confiscate your pictures, they look too good to not have been taken by a professional.

Over and out! 10-4.
