Thing7 - image generators




Gee, image generators are interesting. My husband often uses a certain phrase to describe new employees who at first looked like promising additions to the crew, but prove to be anything but. He calls them "Toab's" - as in "as useful as Tits on a Boar." And I'm sorry if it reflects a bad attitude on my part, but as my image might suggest, the majority of generators I "attempted" to use have proven to be "Toabs." Not all of us are lucky enough to have access to broadband, or anything close to it. And seeing as I barely have time to read my e-mail at work I do most of my 23 things at home - on my pathetically slow, out of date computer. So most of my experience with image generators has consisted of watching a small bar sssslllloooowwwwllly advance across an empty box - only to stall halfway through, or appear "Done, with errors on page."
This morning I attempted to make a virtual person; after answering a series of totally asinine questions, I played 4 games of Solitaire, 3 games of Minesweeper (expert level!), drank 2 cups of coffee, gave my dog a bath 'cuz he's rolled in something very dead, and finally came back and cancelled out of my quest because the little bar was stalled out halfway through the box.
Therefore, the result of my image experiments (from http://www.imagechef.com/) has a slightly negative tone.
Wonderful to know there are so many advanced methods of wasting time though! (Funny - I just used to read books when I wanted to do that before . . .)
