Press Help and press Check for updates or head over to the FF Main site .
2. After updating/Dowloading or otherwise making sure you are up to date go to Get Personas The main Mozilla run site for personas
3.Download and install. Next Next Next I agree , You know the drill. There should be a little fox icon in the bottom left corner of your screen
4.Time to pick your persona! Either go to the persona Gallery or Right click the Fox Icon
Mouse over a design to preview it.
Click the design and press Wear This! to activate it.

A short commentary on the cell phone business in Jamaica


Anyone noticed that Claro is almost beating the Election Madness in advertising frequency? They must have found a oil deposit beneath that red and black monolith because the amount of money that they pump into advertising is phenomenal. Although I'd buy a Claro phone just for the calling people for free and the rates.Good stuff.

Digicel is doing they're usual tactic and is harping on and on about how everyone has a Digicel.Which is in direct contrast to Claro which naturally has a small customer base and few service towers around the island. Nevertheless Digicel, hows about some free credit huh?Or lower rates?

LIME...Poor LIME. I don't even know that they're doing right now.Maybe, just maybe they are charging up for something spectacular.

If you look at it its a really interesting play of power going on in Jamaica
All for your precious $120...

Emoticons for MSN : Creation and Galleries

You can either make your own or use pre made emoticons

Make your own
 Using Paint/Photoshop Emotcion Tutorial. For those using more advanced versions of PS press save for Web and devices if you want a moving image to work on the net.

I put in the last 10 or so.The uploaded emoticons are public so you might see something you like
Emoticonize.com Here
A extremely easy way to make your own emoticons. All you have to do is put in a picture(squares work best) Press create. Naming is optional and if you want it made so that the whole world cant see it that option is availabe too.

Note: The emoticons you make will be larger than normal. Additionally this site is  .GIF compatible id est Moving Images

These make up the base of my emoticon arsenal.

Onion Head Emoticons
A very popular emoticon set.Female version available.
Onion Club-Official Site (Site Gallery)
Anikaos Gallery 4 Pages + Display Pictures



Pyong the Red Fox Emoticons
Pyong the Red Fox
Anikaos.com Page 1 2 3 4 5 6









Yoyo-Cici
Yoyo and Cici User Gallery







Tuzki/Tazko the Rabbit
Full Gallery here






How to add them:
Save the image
Emoticonize it if its not animated(If its animated it already will be at a decent size)
Go to Messenger and Press Add/Edit Emoticons
Find your File and input a command
Naming is optional

PLEASE READ!
When you input commands plan ahead,Use your brain! DO NOT write a command like 'cool' because then you cant spell School or cooler or anything else like that.
Whats the solution?
USE CAPS or do what I do, use a slash '
/' /cool /angry and you can begin to even sort them out
e.g i use
/oangry for a angry onion head and /mangry for a angry monkey emoti.

Its annoying for the person your talking to to have to decipher what your saying.Netiquette...Get some.



The Messenger Plus Quick Icons Panel

(I made ^ Tis crude but w/e )


After you've added your emoticons getting them sorted is easy.

Instructions
Click on the Messenger Plus Icon go to Preferences and Options
Go to the Conversations tab and click on Quick Icons
Press Add and Name the Emoti panel
Press Add and you should see a window with all your emoticons in there.
To select multiple files hold down CTRL and click
After selecting your files press ok
IMPORTANT
On your way out Make sure to uncheck the first box and check the second one.
The Second box is the important one.The first I just personally find it severely annoying.
Also you can change the size of the QP

Voila Enjoy Emoti-ing Photobucket

      Rainmeter and Application docks: Organization and Information for your Desktop


      Look at the above desktops. Looks neat eh? Maybe you dont like the background but maybe a iconless screen is just what you need for that clutter you call a desktop, or you maybe you just want info about your computer at your fingertips.*shrug*
      Wondering how can you get your desktop to look something like this?

      What is Rainmeter?
      Rainmeter is a highly versatile program that allows you to put different kinds of widgets any where on your desktop.It is a superior alternative to Windows sidebar it uses less space and there is a great deal more efficiency in terms of start-up time and RAM usage.

      The possible applications include but are not limited to:
      Lots of cool looking clocks
      Processor/HD/ Network usage and other statistics
      Application Launchers
      To do lists
      Music remotes - Mainly for Winamp and Media player (No iTunes plug-ins have been created yet)
      Facebook and Twitter feed (Alternately you can use RSS feed widgets)
      Calendars
      RSS feeds
      Weather
      Some sense of aesthetics which the people at Microsoft apparently lack greatly.

      Docks
      These are programs that serve as application launchers.So its like a compact bar of shortcuts and programs that you can easily customize[drag-n-drop] Helps keep your desktop clean and you never have to search for your favourite programs.
      The main docking programs for Windows are ObjectDock and RocketDock

      The icons you place also can be customized with various effects like fly out menus of all the files in a particular folder or you can make the dock only appear on mouse over.Change the font,the size, the location anything. Its all dependent on your personal sense of style
      My Desktop[which changes very frequently]
      Using SUPERCOLOSSAL clock , Enigma Calendar+To do list+Visillo dimmer
      Id totally read this Little Red Riding Hood btw

      How to install Rainmeter Widgets
      1. Install rainmeter [duh] By default this is set at Program Files>Rainmeter
      Start it, if it hasnt started already.
      2. Download your Widget. 99% of the time it will be in rar format.
      Download Winrar here if you dont have it already. [Its like winzip just better]
      3. Open the widget rar and there will be a folder.Extract or drag the folder into C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Skins
      4. Right click on the Rainmeter icon [blue/white-ish] you should see the name of the folder you extracted in Configs.Click the one(s) you want.
      5. Voila! Move em where you want!

      To make the pain go away...

      Ouch...

      On panadeine F again. At least it has more Codeine in it this time around.I can see myself getting withdrawal symptoms when I'm done with this,

      Dear Lord please make the pain killers kick in, Please make the pain killers kick in! OMG!

      I'm just doing this because its better than just sitting around ...*throb* *throb**throb* = ouch ouch ouch

      Byy the way I haven't said why I'm in so much pain.I had gum removed from one of my teeth.The procedure was fairly simple and it was less annoying than taking out my wisdom teeth[all of them]

      Its hurting like hell now.I have gauze taped down in my mouth and they used a diode to seal the wound.Now i know how the mosquitoes feel when i zap them with the mosquito racket.

      Ouch Ouch Ouch. Going back next Thursday to take out the stitches.Additionally they found out I may need to take out the tooth.Thats 5 teeth extracted if i go through with this.Which I probably am.

      Oh great....Ouch Ouch Ouch
      Argh! Why wont it start working!? Or put me to sleep!?

      Blargh its not even like a head ache that fluctuates. It just kind of I dunno, is on all the time then it just crescendos and then my face is like >_< and then it goes away sort of then my face is like >_< .

      I imagine the next couple of days are gonna suck,Did i mention my face is swollen? I surmise i may not be blogging as often as i usually do....

      That is Architecture


      Architecture from MAYAnMAYA - They have another video on Information equally as interesting.This was found on Architectnophilia which was found elsewhere of course.

      What is drawing?

      What is drawing?

      Drawing is representation.It is not as constricting as some believe.Crippled in a attempt to depict perfectly what is to be put on paper.
      Until one realizes the infinite ways one can express Colour,Texture and depth one cannot draw at ones full potential.


      One must explore.
      Experiment.
      Retry,
      and Assimilate but never copy.


      I've been practicing my drawing a lot this summer.I kind of exploded [in a good way].Definite improvement after much thought and consideration.

      In my younger years* Anime was my teacher .I have grown to hold it in a mild distaste.It still has its merits and I still enjoy reading a well written/drawn manga however I find it somewhat counterproductive for me to confine myself to just one style of drawing.

      I prefer the method of rendering used in fantasy art and realism.

      [a triptych of sorts]

      The child ran through summer fields and valleys ,carefree,
      enjoying the bounty of life
      Then the winter came and the child grew...
      It is right that one must learn to see the beauty in winter too.
      Some one put a wrench in the gears of my grandfather clock.
      Indeed it stopped but the gears kept saying "Its time to move"
      And the clock groaned and wailed at it stagnancy.
      The sage said to me
      "Responsibilty becomes your crutch
      Things you once held dear, become so blasé.
      Until, you sir become the sage"
