Birthday Bounty!
Today's my birthday -- and, unsuited to my age as the sentiment is, I'm impressed by the bounty I've bagged. Episode 9 in Ken Don Rosa's epic history of Uncle Scrooge. A flask of very, very nice peppermint bath foam. A box of delicious Belgian pralines. A very, very cool Danish design wrist-watch. A dvd of the 1917 Dutch moving picture "Het Geheim van Delft" (I love ancient moving pictures, I'm a complete Douglas Fairbanks aficionado) and a dvd of Eisenstein's Potemkin, a movie I've always wanted to watch.
And to cap it all, tonight Thomas Zander phoned from Dublin to tell me Krita has bagged the Best Application Akademy Award! Whee! Yippee! Hurray! No way anyone is going to believe the width, height, brightness and general enormousness of the grin I'm wearing right now.
Hey, Bart, Cyrille, Casper, Adrian, Michael, Gabor, Sven, Sander (only Krita team member actually in Dublin), Emanuele, Ronan, thanks! Krita has a great team! And all our incidental contributors, bug reporters, testers, users -- everyone who has helped making Krita a better use for processor cycles around the world, thanks!
Virtual Guinness for everyone! To Krita 1.6! And again: to Krita 2.0.
