It appears that a certain individual called Chuvi became somewhat of a nuisance....messing with passwords etc. on the site, and consequently it has been pulled. On the posted message at the link is his email addy for concerned individuals to express their displeasure with his meddling. Keep it 'civil', but make it unmistakable...;/

Over 4000 files didn't survive the transfer.....so affected people are being mailed with a list of 'dead files' and have a month to re-upload the affected works and retain comments, etc.....before the database is cleaned of still-dead links.

'What is it?', I hear you ask... Well, it's a word in the Library list, but that's not important right now.... What IS important is that it's a great new proggy that is quite versatile...can be a simple analogue clock or a full-featured system monitoring interface....it's all up to you, the skinner. A vary talented coder by the name of Xymantix [Nicholas] came up with this proggy, and being a skinner as well, made sure it would be a joy to skin.... ...and it is.. https://www.winc...

https://www.wincustomize.com/library/accounts/Jafo/screenshots/Rip-Manip.jpg Firstly, people...click on this link, and keep it open to one side....just to remind you of a clear example of what it's all about. [Don't bother leaving comments on it.......I'm really not interested in trolling for them, and this upload is for 'reference' only, and not a legitimate 'Submission'] The problem that we, as on-line artists face is the ready availability of extensive sources of media for quick down...

For those eager to modify/alter everything they can...here's another tool for fun.... All sorts of 'tools' exist for manipulating your Windows Experience. I can't say I've used this one....[can't even remember which proggy I used to make my own custom cursors that I still always use - was a fair few years ago now]... but it looks like it's worth a 'go' ....

Recently Zoomba posted he had just reached 5 years with Stardock...and it got me thinking about when I started fiddling with OS Customizing [originally on sites such as Customize.org  and Litestep.com ...and later skinz.org]. The first 'release' of Litestep I came across was called 'b21' or more accurately 1.0 b21 dated 25 March, 1998 ....though the first I actually messed with was b23 a little time after that....but probably just on 10 years ago. Litestep was thought up by a guy...

A few people tripped up in our collective consciousnesses in the past few weeks....so some advancements are in order.... But in no special order... Congratulations to a gaggle of new Apprentices.... Chu99g Pumakitten57 BookChick muckyman Jimbo9294 And.... to Master Apprentice.... Bandit4edu Welldone, guys [where 'guys' is generic]....

Possibly many don't notice that skinners are like "normal" people....have faces and all.... [some, I'm told have a Real Life [tm]] !!!! Koasati ...one of the 'old crowd' set this up ages ago ....but there's a whole swag of people you'll know by nick. Check 'em out ....

.....and JJ Ying's famous....hit number #3 on the search results.... Two Million, eight hundred and ninety thousand plus results......that's almost one per each site member [well, a wee bit more than one per]. There was a time when 'googling' Wincustomize might just have popped up one question...."did you mean 'wincustomise'?"..... How things have changed.... http://jjying.wincustomize.com/

Shell City is one of 'THE' must-go-to's on the net. Nary a day goes by that there's not some new quirk, tweak, gizmo, thingie that will whet your appetite with its 'possibilities'. Go there, or be rhomboid...

OK, the Mods have been out and about noticing people....[it's called 'collision avoidance'] and gave me a list of people to promote this month..... Congratulations, one and all....
