A couple of people couldn't view it at eatpoo, so I put it on my website as well (and fixed up my grammar a little, too).
http://www.gorblimey.com/tutorials/6.html
Does anyone else feel like a complete dork using proper English on the Internet? I find that whenever I post on forums, I consciously put in a few mistakes so I won't sound like some stuck-up prick.... I also avoid "long" words, or words I think might sound pretentious.
Man, I'm such a hoser!
This post was about the tutorial, not about my weird self-conscious forum posting habits! Yeesh!

Nice Tutorial. Thanks!
Re: Forum English. If dumbing down one's post were the key to popularity and acceptance, then Flat would be king! Think on that. (just imagine an emoticon here, okay? I can't bear to insert one)
BTW, you used to be from Vancouver, yes? How are you liking Sweden? Is the rain there any different?

| I'm glad to find this link. I will eagerly take any information you are willing to give. Wonderfully original art. You make rats cute and cuddly. But tell me, could the same be done for midgets? |

The irony is delicious.
Oh, btw, I am. I rock and roll all day long, sweet suzie.

Very nice tutorial. I think using proper grammar is simple the prerogative of the individual - I can't imagine anyone being offended by it. Couple that with the fact that many of the biggest geeks out there use internet slang.

B0b - Software? Actually, I paid for absolutely every piece of software I own. I only have Kazaa because all my CD's got stolen during my move to Sweden, and I am consequently musicless.
