Today’s blog entry is one of those “Tip Of My Hat, Wag Of My Finger” types of deals, except not stealing directly from the Colbert Report somehow. Uhm… onwards!

I have had dealings with two computery-type companies lately. Firstly, Toon Boom, who make a program rather abstractly named Toon Boom. It’s the animation software that all the Expired Copyright Theatre animations were made with. I just upgraded to Animate, which is the pro software that RANT DOG is made with. Anyway, I bought version 1, and as these things are wont to do, version 2 was announced almost immediately. I just chalked it up to “Stuff happens”, but then I got a very nice email from them saying that because it had been less than 30 days since I bought version 1, they would send me version 2 for free! As in, a $600 piece of animation software. For free. So unless the follow-up email asks for me to send a money order to Nigeria, Toon Boom is very awesome people.

I also bought an EA game from Steam (Red Alert 3, shut up it’s fun) which refused to play online. I Googled it and it seems the common opinion is that EA sent out a bunch of serial codes that don’t work, and refuse to admit it. Some people have managed to get it fixed via tech support, others appear to be boned. So I wrote to tech support, who said they would get back to me in 24 hours, a week ago. I think I am in the boned category.

Oh well. Now I don’t feel so bad about playing Spore all the way through on someone else’s computer and never buying it. Ba-zing.

So for the time being I am dragging my ass a little bit on updating the film site (it’s on it’s way soon, honest! I am just doing like 20 things at once right now) but in the meantime, they have their own page on Deed The Inky if you want to look at them. For the time being I have just uploaded the major ones, but if you want to see my fledgling efforts you still can on my Vimeo page or on Youtube.
