Illustrator ? What do u think ??

Hah , My exams are returning & my ideas knock at this time ( Fcuk em.... arghhhh ) .......
I really dont know what to do .. & if i sit right now , i may literally cry at those exams , but this thing is really making me crazy ...

Iam thinking of a site on Illustrator .
Illustrator is a great tool , & if u ask me it is a lot more versatile & powerfull than photoshop ( esp when it comes to the pen tool ... )

I find that the internet lacks sites on illustrator when compared to photoshop ( i find one everywhere ... ) . Illustrator though being a gr8 tool , lacks respect it should have got ..
So i think , i may start a site on illustrator & show what can be done with it & reveal its true power . I may start , & could update regularly . I am thinking about tutorials , links , galleries & etc ............

So any piece of advice ,suggestions , frm anybody i would love it ,
And not to forget , I would love some help from u ... people ... If u are intrested , let me know .
Juz leave a comment .

And , if u r a illustrator guru or something like a illustrator Oracle or something & with a heart to teach , i wont deny any tutorials from you . ( Its really Gr8 man ... :) )

------------ Love & Regards -------------------------------

Wishing Luck ,

Vectori with inkscape

I recently came across a new OpenSource vector graphics editing tool named Inkscape (www.inkscape.org) . It's cool .. man , and i think its competing with Adobe Illustrator . After seeing this , i downloaded and tried it on my desktop . To say it's one cool tool to use , and has SVG as its native format . now thats one thing , u gota clap u r hands , :)) . It has all the normal tools one would want for trying vectors for their work & ofcourse the new gradient editor was nice to work with .
I personally like the way inkscape renders its gradients ( believe me , they are better than illustrator ) . but i dont know why , it takes a lot of system resources & this is why its a little heavy ( think , it's cause it uses Pango ... oh don know... ) . otherwise its an excellent tool to work with & can be used for professional works too.. I've even seen a couple of starter tutes in the TUX Magazine (www.tuxmagazine.com ) .

Nothing's better than using it overselves , so next time u are thinking vectors , be sure to give this tool a try ..

And dont forget to visit the gallery section at inkscape.org (http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Galleries )


Have a nice day , people .

Try Slackware

People on this tech world must have sure heard the word 'LINUX' ( atleast from hell ) , though most of em dont know what it is . I have tried a few Distro's which include Redhat,Mandrake,Linspire,Fedora,Knoppix,FreeBSD,Slack (ofcourse ...) .
Of all these distro's , i can tell you Slackware is the linux for beginners who want to learn the Shit out of linux .... yeah nothing comes right for you in this linux ,... u have to try on u'r own if it has to work ur way . Other Distros though may be easy to use .... are not what linux noobs who wanna be Pro's need.

So if u could , please try it once....u will sure stay ...

http://www.slackware.com -> See Slack there.....
