133: Shoddy Technology
Krotar on March 24, 2007
Okay, I kinda stumbled through Irfanview, trying to figure it out, and I THINK I might have somehow accidently succeeded in making the new comic a .png! If it isn't, sorry, I'll try to fix it, but since I can't really see the difference between a mislabeled and a real png, I figure I should give it a shot. Anyhoo, YAY FOR SHODDY NET WORKMANSHIP!

Maybe you can be in the 200 comic party. If I get that far at this rate, it'll REALLY be something to celebrate! I was THIS close to actually making the next comic, but then something weird happened and the computer couldn't do anything if three programs were running at once, so the paint file for the comic, the two for the sprites, and one for anything else I needed would've been too much. So then I restarted and got caught up in Gaia. I promise, on my honor as a lazy idiot, that I will update sometime between Friday afternoon and Monday morning. ((It doesn't sound like there'd be much honor in that, but there is for me! ^_^ ))

You ask to be in every comic. Why? ...That's a sign of wanting attention... I call it attention whoring >_>

Can I be in your comic?
KevinClifford at 2:02PM, March 27, 2007
I'm only doing it to increase page views to get myself back in the top ten. #11 doesn't like me >.>

I could care less. It's WAY better than .gif, so it's all good. maybe after I finish this arc, I'll go back and re-do the older ones. Remakes seem to be all the rage in my fave comics lately.

Krotar - Ah, everything is good now. Your comic is a true, normal PNG. I know it may have been annoying in trying to deal with this, but readers everywhere thank you for doing so.

[quote=Ngamer]I've only noticed the recent issue when I noticed the comics loading from [b]bottom to top[/b] instead of [b]top to bottom[/b] and that's why I reported it to you Krotar. I though you may have not been converting comics correctly, but now I think this may be DrunkDuck's fault.[/quote] I'm talking about that.
Krotar at 5:16PM, March 26, 2007
Actually, it was probably me. I didn't get NGamer's instructional message on how exactly to convert until AFTER I uploaded. I tried to fix it, so if I did things right it should be a regular .png now.

Kevin - Different browsers display things different. Still irrelevant. What is relevant is the files themselves. Does IE tell you of the comic's size? Cause I know no normal PNGs weigh at near 600 KB unless they are of high and huge resolutions. And Krotar's comics aren't high-res or huge dimensions wise. Tell me if it's normal for something that small to weight that big?
KevinClifford at 3:16PM, March 26, 2007
No, FireFox loads images bottom to top, I.E. loads them top to bottom >_>
Ngamer01 at 2:59PM, March 26, 2007
Kevin - That's irrelevant because the files are independent of the browser. I use Firefox 2 and it tells me that the comics are really just BMPs. Tell me if the other browsers don't say that or reveal a file size of 598.66 KB (613030 bytes).
KevinClifford at 12:01PM, March 26, 2007
Actually, then that's your browser >_>
Ngamer01 at 6:55AM, March 26, 2007
Huh. This latest still shows the file type to be a BMP even though the extension ends in PNG. ...If you're converting your files correctly through Irfanview, Krotar, then... DrunkDuck is the one screwing up your comic uploads then, Krotar. Cause I remember before recently, your comics were fine and good. I've only noticed the recent issue when I noticed the comics loading from bottom to top instead of top to bottom and that's why I reported it to you Krotar. I though you may have not been converting comics correctly, but now I think this may be DrunkDuck's fault.

You Made A Mistake. You Put It To Be comic 153 Instead of Comic 133.

wooop it's back!
KevinClifford at 1:02PM, March 25, 2007
When I said that, I meant if you downloaded the Trial of CS2 from Adobe.com, Photoshop [i][b][u]SHOULD[/u][/b][/i] install the PNG format of application onto your computer.
Krotar at 12:46PM, March 25, 2007
Your comic isn't bad because you don't have photoshop. I don't have photoshop, and mine's decent.

last comment supposed to be from yesterday
Chibijo at 12:15PM, March 25, 2007
if you have photoshop curse you all! i don't have photoshop! that's why my comic is stupid! and yes porygon-Z does look kinda stupid.=D keep up the great work krotar
KevinClifford at 11:33AM, March 25, 2007
You know, if you install Photoshop, you should get the PNG format too >_>
Krotar at 11:31AM, March 25, 2007
Okay, NOW it's working. Apparently it was just my computer. A restart fixed everything and I can see my work now! I just hope this is a REAL png and not the kind I've been making till now.

Awesome again! +++ Check out Pokemon Shonen Quest
Krotar at 11:26AM, March 25, 2007
okay, it doesn't even work. Apparently I screwed up big time...
