I’m finally getting the hang of using Inkscape. The interface isn’t the most intuitive around but you can’t argue with free. I retraced the skull thing from The Triumvirate in SVG format and imported them into Photoshop.

Yeah, so I kinda cheated because only the skull is from Inkscape (although the rest are composed of Photoshop’s fully-scalable shape layers), but I’m taking baby steps with it. I still work so much faster with Photoshop and I don’t have a lot of free time, so that’s the temptation right there.

Next thing on my to do list is learning how to make half-decent fractal flames.

Gone were the days when I had to make 2 sets of CSS to make a site look consistent. I will miss them.

Today, I discovered that the CSS hover menus I use break in IE7. Now, I have to make 3 sets of CSS to make a site look consistent, at least without resorting to messy hacks. Conditional comments help but still, having to use 2 extra sets of styles for the same family of browsers is ridiculous.

I hate.. no, hate is too weak a word.. I loathe IE7.
