At around 4:30 my boss said he&#8217;d call the client and see if they&#8217;d let us give it to them tomorrow afternoon, and they did.  Reason sometimes exists in the world.  That should give us enough time to finish things in a quality manner.<\/p>\n<p>I also got a two-week renewal on my Superman books, so now I have time to finish taking notes on my observations and don&#8217;t have to rerequest them.<\/p>\n<p>I had no DVDs to watch tonight during dinner, so I read MegaTokyo instead and thought about random things.  One of them wasn&#8217;t so random.  I&#8217;ve been pondering my future, which actually I do often and I will comment on some other time, and tonight I was wishing I could live multiple lives at once.  That would be ideal.  I asked myself what I would do with these lives.  In one of them I would be a computer programmer.  In another I would be a graphic artist.  I probably wouldn&#8217;t be a creative writer in any of them.  I like the idea of writing stories, but not full time.  Then in two others, of course, I would live out my main options of philosophy professor and psychotherapist.<\/p>\n<p>These thoughts reminded me of my friend Andrew, who <em>is<\/em> a programmer and works with graphic artists.  He has a company called Bareknuckle Software that was supposed to have their website up sometime soon, so I decided to check on it.

Your screen resolution has to be at least 1152 x 864 to accommodate the flash window, but I think high screen resolutions are normal for computer graphics people.  I have absolutely no use for software like theirs, but I downloaded the demo anyway just to see what my friend had done. \ud83d\ude42 In the extremely unlikely event (unless you&#8217;re Ivo) that you are a computer graphics person and you have sequences of image files that you need to manhandle, you should give it a look.
