	<description>&#34;Creative Slacker&#34; referrs to the fact that I should be doing creative stuff - writing, art, 3D animation, RPG stuff, but I don&#039;t. Maybe &#34;lazy bastard&#34; would be more appropriate.</description>

<p>Reminded to do this when I saw the post on <a href="http://sixfoothobbit.blogspot.com/2007/03/it-looks-flashy.html">Six Foot Hobbit&#8217;s Blog</a> &#8211; I&#8217;d done it before, but hadn&#8217;t spotted the &#8220;Widget&#8221; option, which gives you the nice display you see here.</p>
<p>Although actually creating the thing &#8211; adding text to each image &#8211; was incredibly annoying.  I don&#8217;t know if it was just that I was using Firefox on Linux and the Flash plugin wasn&#8217;t quite up to it, but the [expletive deleted] thing kept switching images while I was trying to type.  If there is one GUI sin that drives me mad it&#8217;s switching focus while I&#8217;m typing things.  It&#8217;s like &#8220;Can&#8217;t you <b>see</b> what I&#8217;m doing?!  Let me finish this!&#8221;  If you redesign the navigation elements on your page to the extent that I can&#8217;t work out how to use it, I&#8217;ll just leave your page and forget you.  Interrupt me when I&#8217;m typing and I&#8217;ll come to your house and remove your entrails with a blunt, rusty spoon.</p>
<p>Update:  The &#8220;widget&#8221; page turns out to have a much more sensible text editing whatsit.  Huh.  Well, there you go&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is nothing &#8211; <strong>nothing</strong> &#8211; as stroke-inducingly enraging as a computer that doesn&#8217;t do what it&#8217;s bloody supposed to.  I&#8217;ve been struggling with Lightwave tonight, for U.S.S. Intrepid, trying to get a tractor beam to look like a tractor beam.  Simple enough, until Lightwave decided that it won&#8217;t even let me create .avi files, and any Quicktime movies it creates are pure black &#8211; no picture at all.  What a fun few hours this has been.</p>
<p>So sod this for a game of soldiers, I&#8217;m playing World of Warcraft.</p>
