Boo(p)

It's day 17 of Horrordailies, and today I did something that could have been scary under other circumstances!

Trying to learn more about channels, I made an attempt to follow this tutorial, which was created 14 years ago. It's hard to believe, but videos are actually holding up better than still screenshots — why do we have full-screen shots of a stylized control key? I'm pretty sure that's an html remnant that has moved along in the past decade.

But anyhow, I had a picture of a kitten that was doing the ghost pose, so I used that. I like the effect of using the intersection of RGB channels to create the image.

It would have been better if I'd had a haunted house background, but I was feeling cheap, so I made do with what I had.

It's ridiculous, but it was mostly an exercise in using channels.

Foster Kitten Updates

I let the three boys in the spare bedroom hang out together today, which means nobody in there is confined to a wire crate. They are all very happy about that and seem to be getting along okay. (They've had a 10-day quarantine. It should be fine.)

The five babies are doing great (knock on wood). Their mom used to be able to get some along time by lying behind the box, but lately the babies have been climbing out and climbing on top of her, so I took the box out. That way I'm not blindly reaching over to grab a baby when I need to weigh them.

Other Stuff

The newsletter is all ready to go out tomorrow morning. We shall see if my attempt to entice people to click on something in order to improve my sendability every works. Probably I should follow the advice to clean my list, but that sounds like work.

It's 6pm and I still haven't decided what to put on a sign for tomorrow. Every time I'm at a rally, I wish I had come up with a better sign, but every time I fail to prepare any better. Oh well.
