Pixels, they do matter, even in Halmstad
Here's Nelson again, continuing on the rant started yesterday about the missing original files. Because yup, we work weekends too, and when one loves what they do, why not work weekends? Because this morning, I got a small ray of sunshine in my life: an e-mail that stated that "we think we found the original Halmstad cover file!" YEY! HOORAY! HUZZAH! Yes I was nearly jizzing when I heard and saw that. Then just now, I got the so called "original file". And guess how big it is? Just how BIG it is?? Anyone anyone? Guesses? Well it's frakking 15 k. Not megs. K. fif-teeeeeeen k. [insert a bit more silence] And I have Niklas asking me if I got the file and if everything is gonna move smoothly now. Hell yeah. Smooth as silk. I am not thinking of explaining to him the importance of high resolution and pixels because honestly? I don't think he'd get it. I don't think he'd give a frak. I did try in the past explaining (to others not to Kvarforth for frak's sake, I like my face mind you!) the difference of hi-res and low-res by drawing a smilie face with coco pops onto a plate with rice krispies - then taking away half the coco pops. I don't think I can do that explaining to Niklas. I am not sure really what to answer as he's the kind of person who expects things get done one way or another and he doesn't give a frak why something isn't working. Saying to him "I can't do this" would be like a stormtrooper telling Darth Vader his cape looks ugly. He tells you what to do, and you do it. One way or another, exactly as he said. No "but", no "maybe", no "what if". You do exactly what he tells you to do and be silent, and everything will be just dandy. So instead... well. I guess I just gotta find the biggest physical copy there is or start finding a doppelgänger of the girl. So.. once (and I'm not saying "if" I'm saying I'll do this) you see a Halmstad shirt in the store, remember my words and think of me fondly XD -Nelson www.shininglegions.com
