I spent 4 years in the Army. Did basic & AIT at Ft. Knox and was stationed at NTC for the rest of it all. If I could go back, I would have done more years. Unfortunately, I suffered from extremely poor leadership the whole time I was in, and it spun me out. I went into it with every expectation to put in 20 years. I never would have made it for 20, because I've got messed up feet (metatarsalgia pes planus [deformed bones and tightened muscles]), but I'm sure I could have managed 8-10. I wa

[quote]Not weird at all - For the first 30yrs that I was quitting, I did it by not smoking between cigarettes too.[/quote] LoL. I'm not saying I smoke on a regular basis. What I'm saying is that I'll have 2 or 3 cigarettes while I'm drinking, but I go a week or two without having one. In fact just on Saturday I was with my 2 friends that don't smoke, and I got pretty hammered and didn't have a cigarette all night. I don't crave it at all. After the first 3 days of quitting I didn't

I smoked for 5 years, and I just recently quit. I really didn't see the the difficulty in it. I mean, I had cravings for the first couple of days, but after that, it was more of a habitual craving than anything. In fact, I'll smoke 3 or 4 cigarettes when I'm drinking, but I don't feel the urge to start back up or anything. I wouldn't even really need to smoke while I'm drinking, but all my friends smoke, so it's just a casual thing. Maybe I'm weird, but I don't see the difficulty in it. *s

Reply to Looks like Blu-Ray is the winner.............. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Sweet. I've been waiting for one or the other to drop off, so I knew which one to buy. I knew it was only a matter of time. Luckily for me, I already have a BlueRay player with my PS3. Sony finally got a format to stick. I gotta give them props for continuing to try and bring out more formats after that whole MiniDisc debacle.

I stopped reading it early, because I chose "Q" for my letter. When I couldn't think of an animal, I just read the rest and giggled.

Reply to What do You Consider the "Core Sites" Of the Community? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

My skinning site story is funny, really (this is long and unnecessary, so feel free to skip this post). I started in Litestep 9 years ago, and I was a HUGE skinz.org surfer. In fact, I remember Koasati when he was a n00b there. :P I even started my own wallpaper website for a while, but everyone hated me for it, since it was just a skinz.org rip off (I was only 19 then and very unoriginal). Hell it was even named wallpaperz.org. It doesn't get worse than that. After a while, I lost intere

[quote] Skin studio *has been* free. The 5.x version in ODNT is "plus" that allows skinning Windows Media Player and lets you import parts from other skins and use third-party GUI widgets. Dunno if 2k8 will have something similar[/quote] [quote]A free version of SKS6 will be available separate from OD2k8 I do believe.[/quote] Thanks! I was unaware that there was a free version. Once SKS6 comes out, I'm going to try my hands at some Windowblinds theming.

Reply to Object Desktop 2008 discussion in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I've been wondering this ever since I got Windowblinds: wouldn't it behoove Stardock to make SkinStudio free? There are some people that don't need the entire Object Desktop for various reasons (I run Litestep). If Stardock is looking to increase skinning/skinners (which also increases influx into their sites/pockets), then it makes sense to me to make that freely available. I'm sure I'll never skin a Windowblinds theme, just because I don't know if I'd be good at it or not, and I'm not will

Can't upload? in Stardock Software WinCustomize Forums

I tried to upload a Litestep theme, but it keeps saying my file isn't uploading, because I have to submit a skin file. Uhmmmm... Litestep doesn't have a skin file. I did, however, put an .lsz file and a .jpg screenshot file. It goes through the little progress bar of uploading it, but afterwards, it says it's processing. After that, it says it failed to upload. I tried it twice, and it did it both times. Any idea what's happening? Or does nobody care, because it's Litestep? LoL
