Do you ever wish, when you're making a thumbnail to link to an image, that if, after clicking through that, you clicked again on the resultant picture, it would lead to a version that was correspondingly bigger, and so on, forever, as long as one cared to click? Or is that just me?

I have failed to set my alarm clock consistantly for the past three days, which is why I'm now posting at shortly past four in the morning (and making exactly the sort of post you'd expect for that). I'd best try to remedy that trend, or else school will do so, on Monday, in much the way that a brick wall remedies momentum.

Should I now try to make the post that I've been meaning to about various music? No, I should probably just try to go to bed.

You have no idea how tempting I'm finding it to go and create such a thing right now. But, alas, I have no time to spare on such a project.

Yaaa~y, infinitely pixelated bliss!

The first computer I ever learned to use, at about six years old, was a Unix named hpcvxhjb. It had an awesome little Fractal program that would show you an image, which you could select part of, and it would zoom in on that part, and then so on. I have no idea how common this sort of thing is, but I loved it.

It's not exactly what you're describing, and neither is the Infinite Cat Project Karen linked to recently, but both of those things are pretty cool.

I hope you get back to getting sleep. o.o What sort of classes will you do now?

Vector graphics, biotch.

Yeah, fractals don't count. (I used to have a similar program in early Windows, "WinFract", which took about half an hour to load the fractals. Uphill! Both ways! The old days were awesome.)

'cept that vector graphics need to be specially made that way. Unless you've got a processing system that can extract vectors from a raster image. Probably they exist, but it's not my field of expertise...

Hence why you -start with- vector graphics for the project

I am for some reason just now noticing how much you look, in this picture, like Mark Harris, one of my most awesomest college English teachers ever, the one who wanted us to write all of those fun essays that you were so jealous of. You'd have to be more bald, and have darker hair, but the shape of the face is right, as is the merry look in your eye. Oh, and you'd need glasses. Alas alas.
