Good God, I'm a geek

As part of the harrowing experience that's been losing my primary development workstation at the office due to a failed hard drive, I've had to come up with solutions - REAL FAST - to make sure we stay on top of the demands of the online news biz. As such, my hard drive failure took away PhotoShop, which I don't have a hard copy of anymore.

To get around the various macros and automated processes that I used, I hacked together a programmatic image editor that emulated the PhotoShop actions I'd previously built. This isn't the first time I've done this. I just now realized that my gut instict in lieu of a formal application was to homegrow a utility on my own. I didn't even think to use a web-based imaging service or something like Picasa.

Geez, I'm hardcore
