This is another epic story from Lazuli, this one set after the events of Series 2. Like “Attrition,” it’s long and plotty with interesting original characters and a nicely detailed story line. I enjoyed the characters a great deal and I also appreciated the mystery and plot twists that went along with it. Unfortunately, I felt that several major plot points hinged–unnecessarily, even–on the characters behaving rather stupidly, forgetting glaringly obvious problems or simply ignoring lines of inquiry. I did enjoy the story despite my frustration with those plot holes, but it was disappointing to have so many solid threads only to have the story falter on a couple of important points. All the same, this is a good adventure, with some powerful and poignant insights into Jack and Ianto’s relationship.

lazuli: Attrition
This is probably the classic “Jack comes back” story from the period between Seasons 1 and 2. At the time this was written, no one had any clue what would happen to Jack, and how he’d return. A lot of stories filled in the gaps, and this one was one of the better-written and more ambitious. I admit, I have quibbles with Jack’s characterization, specifically the degree to which he gets away with his obsessive and controlling behavior towards Ianto. For the most part the author pulls it back by having Ianto stand up to him, and by having Jack realize his own shortcomings, but in more than one instance I was still frustrated by the degree to which the author allowed Jack to control Ianto’s life. That said, the story itself is well-written, solid and plotty with an original character, Bryn, who I felt a lot of affection for. The team interactions are wonderful, and I have to enjoy a story that takes so much time and care building up the relationships.

A matter of Time
This story pretty much has it all. Good writing, good characterization, terrific plot, original ideas, marvelous supporting characters, a richly detailed world, lots of sex and a solid believeable romance. All that, and it’s nearly 100,000 words, too. The premise is simple: Ianto travels to his future and Jack’s past, and spends a lot of time with a Jack he never knew. Demotu has done a terrific job both of creating a believable younger Jack and making Ianto’s responses to him equally plausible and very real. There’s also some good, well-though discussions of the differences in relationships between Jack’s time and Ianto’s, adding a lot to the story without being preachy or distracting. This is a wonderful story, truly a fandom classic.

The latest word from Yahoo is that they may sell Delicious rather than shut it down, so fandom has a little more breathing room, thank goodness. I set up an account on pinboard.in and a fandom account on diigo as well (already had one there that I used to keep track of research for one of my projects). I’m still waiting on my Diigo import, but pinboard imported.

Excel Instance Launcher
A couple years ago I had a job that required lots of Excel development. As a consequence, I usually had more than one Excel workbook open at a time. Sometimes I liked having all the workbooks open in the same instance of Excel. But at other times, I really needed each workbook open in its own instance.

Change the Size of Start Menu Icons in Windows 7 and Vista
The size of the icons on your start menu can be changed from small to large. If you want to pin a lot of icons on your start menu, it makes sense to reduce the size of icons to accommodate a greater number of icons. On the other hand, larger icons could be extremely useful especially to people with sight problems. Changing the size of the start menu icons in Windows 7 is straightforward compared to Windows Vista.

How to reduce Start Menu Icon Size in Windows 7 | iTechMax
I installed Windows 7 few days back and the only thing as with other versions of Windows which I didn’t like was the large buttons in the Start Menu. By default, Start Menu shows the list of recently used programs so if you reduce the size of the icons; you will be able to see more programs.

Graphic Sluts – theories of image
A few days ago, someone asked me to write a turorial on my approach at composition of a manip. Frankly, the thought to consciously analyze the way I compose a piece, or formulate a set of “guidelines” of some kind, never crossed my mind, because composition is an intuitive thing to me. But I did some thinking and gathered a few “tips” on how I make what you can call a “complex manip”, such as this or this pieces of mine. Not sure if they have any value at all – I’m not that good at explaining things even in Russian, and trying to do so in English complicates the task to the point of brain boiling, but… well. I figured since I spent entire afternoon writing them down, I might as well share them.
