Should this change be done immediately? (I have an account at Xisto - Web Hosting.com but we are part of Xisto family, aren't we?)

Can anyone point me to some documentation that details me on setup of a CVS server? I need to setup a CVS repository on a Sun Unix system with following specs: Machine hardware: sun4v OS version: 5.10 Processor type: sparc Hardware: SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200 Any details on which specific version of CVS I should get, the setups (env variables) I need to setup, any ports I need to setup, would be much appreciated. (Or even links to documentations). I did try to use Google, but seems like my Google skills have lost its touch.

Since I decided to jump back into contributing to a Open Source project, (deviating a little bit from my art explorations), I come back to my trusted webmaster community. ^_^Premise: I am working on getting in shape, a Webcomic module for Drupal. It is in pretty crude format, and I would like your views and suggestions w.r.t the requirements a webcomic module would have.What would you want in a Webcomic module of a CMS?Anything from a one-liner to a detailed requirement documents is greatly appreciated as it would help me in giving direction to the design and development of that module.

Aha. Okey. ^_^Just that it is only recently that I am into IRC and all. So, I am just snooping around.

I know I have been a bit absent after getting a Xisto - Web Hosting account, but I am still a member here, ain't I? ;)Well, been involved in a Drupal module development, and that got me into IRC. Then I remembered that Xisto has a IRC channel at DalNet - #Xisto. So, just logged in to check - is it only for mods here? Was wondering, if it was only for mods? Is it still alive?

Well, it seems like Joomla uses SMF integration (but I am not sure about that). If that be the case, then SMF does a way better job than Drupal or Joomla. And I guess, that is the reason for a drive towards the conceptual DrupBB in the Drupal community. You mean to say, the Garland theme? That was like the crown theme of Drupal 5. And they have not bothered changing the theme of Drupal.org for ages I guess.

It was a long time back, and I had just worked on this partially. Drupal though moved on, and a more robust and scalable effort is made to create an Advanced Forum module at - https://groups.drupal.org/forum-development Just thought, I would put this here for those 'old thread diggers' or someone who comes through search engine.

They let you play back!? When did they add that? I did one yesterday - how can I check the playback functionality? And another one - do they let us embed it elsewhere like Sketchcast lets us? If that be the case, then I am totally shifting to Grafitti.

Ah. I know that face book application too. I added it and am fiddling around with it. But some time back, I stumbled across Sketchcast.com. It is quite rudimentary and I have been hooked. The best part is, it plays back the process of sketching. I have been making a lot many of these sketchcasts (more like artcasts), and atleast it keeps me in practice during heavy work days at my job. Here are some (plugs) sketchcasts I made: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Good work m^e. I love dogs and this is something that has always touched me.

Do check out ArtRage - it has got quite a similar natural color mixing feature and realistic painting simulation. https://www.artrage.com/

I cannot agree with you more - it definitely is how much one practices. For a creative outlet the different software are just tools.

Personal Blog Entry Here is the screen capture video: YouTube Playlist (It is a seven part video. Pretty long - do not know how to do a timelapse in Movie Maker) This was one exhausting experience - the video capture/editing and all.

Where can I find CC music, preferably Techno or Instrumental genre. I need it so that I can put it in my digital painting videos. Attribution+NonCommercial use should be fine.I would just be putting it as a background music, and I would give full credits to the music artist. You got any ideas? I tried CreativeCommons.org and upon searching, it did not turn up that useful for music. The OWL search was too slow and the sever would not respond.

Thank you Prash. Yup - I was involved in Pixel Art for some time. But then, things happened in life - I moved on from art, and when I came back, I started digital painting.

Hey thanks .:Brian:. Yes Sten. GIMP has a reputation for that. But I think it is just a matter of familiarity. Use it for doing one or two artworks, and then a workflow that is optimal for you will naturally get sorted out. I am not sure which version it is. I just had downloaded the latest one some time back. Let me check. OK. It is GIMP 2.2. The thing is - I am not concerned about the version. Most of the tools I use for digital painting were there - brushes, smudge, blend, and eraser. That is about it. Since I do not use any other filters or plugins, it does not matter much what version I use. Yes, tablet helps a bit. But basically we need just lots of practice. For illustration, I posted another of my character digital painting here. That was done majorly with mouse. Thanks all.

I tried to capture the full painting process (around half an hour) and make a video out of it of a simple digital painting of tree. Google Video Link Check it out at my blog too. This is the end product.

Good move. Presently I am using a Xisto - Web Hosting 3S account and run 6 website (4 are mine, 2 are my friends). Moving to a VPS plan now would seem like a overkill, but this is an option that we would need to consider in the near future as the traffic increases and demands more bandwidth and CPU power.

I never really had any problems with maintaining my credits when I was hosted here. As a matter of fact, I went with out posting anything for around three to four months - during the time I was planning to move over to Xisto - Web Hosting.This is as close to perfection a system can get.

Ha ha. Well - Photoshop does have its own advantages and GIMP has its disadvantages. (I have written about it here). It all depends to what extent we are using it. If it is a hobby and/or we need it for minor work, then there is no reason to shell out $600 on Adobe Photoshop CS3. (And that does not even justify priacy). I have heard most people complain about UI of GIMP saying how it is not like Photoshop. But in my opinion, it only how long you use a particular UI that matters - the more you use, the more it becomes common and easy to work with.

Well - it is no competetion or something like that. We just choose a subject every begining of the week and submit one by end of week. Kind of 'group-learning'.

Subject: Pomegranate Software: GIMP Hardware: PC + Wacom Tablet Time: 3 hours on and off I know, I know. I have been a bit absent from Xisto - that is because I am working hard on improving my digital painting skills. This is my entry for a weekly workshop at another forum. I was just able to complete it with couple of hours remaining. (This week has been busy). Thought I would let you guys in on a 'sneak peek'. This is a scaled down image. The original image is 1680x1275. (You can it out at the deviantART entry too).

faulty.lee - Thanks a lot for that. It definitely gives me direction to look at.

I need to develop a toolbar for Internet Explorer. Nothing radical. There will be a text box and a button on the toolbar. Whatever is filled in the tool bar needs to be processed and a URL is constructed and page is redirected to that URL when the button is pressed.I tried to get some info on this my lurking over at the MSDN forums but all I got is headache. :PAny one have any clue where I should start looking at a definitive guide for this? I did try searching for this, but nothing relevant came up.
