in other news, I think I've finally perfected the render settings for Vegas. have been sitting here for a couple days tweaking and prodding, using different codecs... finally found one that's nearly lossless from the source media but comes out at 5-10% of the size.
"Thy name is Magnuss. Thy will be done. Thy will is scoring a 3 pointer from half court"
Y'know, I came up with that username like 10 years ago. Back then, I thought "thy" meant "my". I realize now that it was a terrible error on my part. It was like I was calling everyone Magnus.

it still works. as i'm reading it, i'm saying that your name is magnus.
To thine own self be true, from Hamlet. Again, he was saying that you have to be true to yourself. Not to himself. But yeah, when people read it, they would be saying "your" name is Magnus, by seeing me with it.
Actually, what was conveyed to others when it was said was "To thine own heart (possessive of one's own heart, rather than to 'your own heart' in the context of non-possessive, even if the audience it was mentioned to was someone other than himself)
So it would be "be true to mine own self" as advice to another in modern English versus Victorian Shakespeare English.
First, Shakespeare was born 200 years before Queen Victoria, so his was actually Elizabethan Shakespeare English (also known as "Middle English"). Second, that's pretty much what I just said, although again, there wasn't much mention of the heart in the line.

First of all... Shut up.
Secondly, it's "kind of what you said", but wasn't what you said. I could kind of be you, but I wouldn't be you.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
This was the advice Polonius gave his son in Act I, scene iii just before Laertes went back to college after King Hamlet's funeral and Claudius' coronation. Basically, he was telling him to be wise with his money (he wasn't, by the way) and to be honest with himself and his transgressions, which will lead him to be a man of his word.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
