Accosted!

So my computer has been taken over by the child because she wishes to use Photoshop to make something for her MySpace page. She wants to use the Animation feature that comes with it because for some reason Animation Shop that came with PaintShopPro 9 didn’t work or didn’t install onto her computer. No big deal, right?

Well, every time I’ve used the animation feature in Photoshop i have to relearn how to use it all over again. I don’t use it that often. If I want something animated I usually use Flash, which I do my Splash pages in. Unfortunately, when using Flash you have to upload a file that goes with them in order to make them work and she can’t upload that file to MySpace in order to make it work. Otherwise I’d have her doing it in Flash.

The mouse on her computer is really odd. There’s no option to have ‘single-click’ and I lowered it’s click speed as slow as it can be and it still seems to open things with a single-click. I checked the folder options and it is also on double-click in the settings and I don’t know why, but it works fine on opening a folder. When you click to select something (such as a selection box) it checks then unchecks it again before you realize it’s no longer selected. Annoying, to say the least. I see a new mouse in her future.

Her room is a mess, but that’s the life of a teenager. I’ll have to have her clean it up today or tomorrow. She does have this beautiful 19 inch flat screen monitor now and I’m going to look through my websites to see how they look on it. I hope I’m not going to be disappointed. Later.
