More on Gimp 2.6
Now that I’ve used Gimp 2.6 a little here’s my first dislike.
By default all the ‘Utility’ windows, what was the Toolbox, layers and Brushes,Patterns etc dialogues, are on top by default. So any image window that is larger than the gap between them is behind these dialogues ergo you don’t see all of your image. […]
Gimp 2.6 - A Backward Step?
OK, it’s taken me a while to get around to looking at the new Gimp and my first impression was disappointment!
The Toolbox menu has gone and with it the Xtns menu! It took me a little while but I’ve found the inhabitants of the X’d Xtns menu and File menu.
‘Buttons’, ‘Logos’, ‘Patterns’ and ‘Web page […]
Who Else Wants Free Open Source Software For Windows?
Free? Can’t be any good then!
Wrong! The quality, availability and range of free open source software for windows is excellent and rivals, if not betters some commercial software.
So what kind of software is available?
Just about anything you can think of. I don’t intend to list all that’s available because it would take pages and you […]
Blog Posts and Videos - Bee in my Bonnet!
Not so long ago people were complaining about how they got too much email and how it distracted them from getting on with the things they needed to do.
Join a few lists, as we all must do and you inevitably get bombarded with lotsa emails.
Some of the people who were complaining about the scourge of […]
Graphics Videos
To quote ’someone’ famous I’ve done it again! Neglected my blog that is! What with the problem with my neck and shoulder and other stuff, namely life, the time has just flown by. The problem with my neck and shoulder is improving though, thanks for asking.
So, to get back to where I should be the […]

That’s it the Nickel Sale is over.
The Graphics Videos at gimpvideos.com are now at their normal price of $27. This still represents great value at only $2.25 per video.
I know from comments I’ve received and read on various forums that a lot of people get Gimp, it’s free after all but then struggle to get […]
Blog Neglect
This is really disgusting! If this blog was a child I’d be in serious trouble with the law, or ‘lure’ as Clouseau would say!
I have seriously neglected it. I do have an excuse, naturally. A couple of weeks ago I appear to have trapped or as the doctors put it compromised a nerve in […]

Considering the extent of the damage they have done a remarkable job to get it back up and […]
Graphics Videos Nickel Sale Live - A Bit Late
This had to be the dumbest oversight post ever!! Graphics Videos went live on the 29th May…… I didn’t post about it!
In mitigation it was quite hectic with a few last minute things to set up but that’s really no excuse. And I only just realised it when I did that previous post about the […]
Graphics Videos Outage
Apparently there is an outage at the data centre in the US and gimpvideos.com has been down for several hours.
Unfortunately I don’t have any details of the extent of the outage but it must be pretty serious as most datacentres are never out for long.
My apologies for this but please stick with it. As they […]
