I thought &#8220;hey, that looks pretty cool, I should think about using that as my new background image since I need a change. So today I went looking around for these images. I played around with a few, how they played with wterm&#8217;s tranparency, how I could change the colors. And I decided to play around with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gimp.org\">The Gimp<\/a>&#8216;s filters a bit.

I did a pretty good job of keeping to my learning schedule, for most of the day, then I decided to start doing some packing. Yeah, since I&#8217;m moving in 3 weeks I figured I should probably at least get some of that out of the way right now, so I&#8217;m not driving myself nuts doing it all at once. *Looks at her boxes full of books* I have so many books.
