I'm sure it's obvious to all of you by now anyway, but just thought I'd say:
WELCOME BACK!
We've all been wondering. And he just snuck back in the way he snuck on out.
Rich
You just missed his welcome back party!
I told spiffnme to save you the last margarita, but he said you weren't coming and drank it himself. Too fast, I might add, as evidenced by the"Oh my god! Brainfreeze!" look he gave me.
Peter, you're too funny.
Thanks, Sam&Noah.
[btw, samandnoah is named analogously to spiffnme???]
Rich, we're all glad to have sushi back; note that he's snuck back with about 300 posts in the last 24 hours.
he's everywhere at once, almost superman-like...
Hey, John, you are off by one order of magnitude. I only made a little over 30 posts since yesterday.
Just a slight exaggeration for dramatic emphasis, Masa. Incidentally, since tonight is Holloween, I hope that you're playing the Dream of a Witches' Sabbath from the Symphonie Fastastique, Mussourgsky's Night on Bald Mountain, Rimsky-Korsakov's Witches'Sabbath from his Christmas Eve Suite, etc. Anything else to help bring in the witches?
GMTA!!! I already played the latter two, and listened to the Berlioz on the Classical 101 earlier this afternoon.
Not quite analagous. Sam and Noah are my two sons!
And I had seen Sushi's posts but I hadn't seen much hoopla. That is until I went into another section and found the party... with no tequila left!
All is well with the world again. Back to my usual lurker mode.

Oops!!!
Yes, he is not talking about illicit substances...
lol if thats not it, what is your name derived from?
I guess it's time to bring the "explain your nickname" thread back.
My bf's nickname is "Spiff". So..."Spiffnme" = Spiff & Me
DJ,
I've noticed that you've been reading his name wrong, too.
As mentioned above, it's "Spiff" not "spliff"
Just to let you know just how clueless/innocent I am...
What the hell is "Spliff"?
Uh-oh, I SMELL a whole new thread coming on....
Yes, I am as innocent as Craig. What's spliff??? Pharmacological name, please...
spliff = joint, bone, jay, doobie, roach, heaven pole, marijuana cigarette
That clear it up for ya?
Oh, okay.
It is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol then...
now if everyone looking for some would just say that, their
jaw would hurt to much to puff........
Hahaha, I always thought it was spliffnme not spiffnme
.
Maybe you need to set your monitor to 640x480?
Never! I have a 17" LCD with a native res of 1280x1024. I hate how it scales lower resolutions. I also dislike that 1280x1024 isn't a 4:3 resolution!! Oh well.

Very true! I had to set the geometry of my good'n'old CRT monitor at the office with a lot of blank on either side because of this. I need an accurate WYSIWYG presentation on screen.
Do you use the sRGB ColorSync calibration, or do you use a custom display adjustment?
As you know I am a Mac person, and my monitor in the office is the Apple 17" CRT (the one with the clear case). I use the automatic color calibration feature of the monitor, which also creates a ColorSync profile. The geometry is of course adjusted manually with an actual ruler.
Just to nitpick...have you considered using 1280x960? That would solve the black bars problem...
I would but my monitor is LCD
so it would be scaled evil-ly. Plus, it's shaped more squarish for the 1280x1024 resolution (as are most 17" lcd's that are 1280x1024). On my old crt, when I would game I would use 2048x1536 but on desktop (for no need to use Anti-Aliasing - only Anisotropic Filtering which my 9800 Pro has an easy time doing), I would use 1280x960. Looked great in my opinion for text.
