• Just wanted to let you all know that I had to spend the weekend in the hospital for a nasty stomach bug. I’d been suffering from it all last week, but late Friday night it hit me hard and I had to seek treatment. I’m feeling a lot better now though and I’m back at the computer again.

  I had a multi-monitor version of “A New Dawn” ready, but this morning I thought I would spend a little time and try to render the scene using some of Vue 7’s new features. Vue 7 has better looking clouds and water and I think I can make some nice improvements to the scene before moving on. I’d also like to see if the new clouds handle the switch from single-screen to multi-screen (a bug in Vue 6 which I have mentioned before).

  Thanks for your patience. Hopefully the results will be worth it.

• I’ve added a new wallpaper to the gallery this morning and, for once, I didn’t have to agonize over a proper title. I’ve called this one “A New Dawn” and I think it’s fitting for the day after a historic election in the US. I hope you enjoy it.

  In other news, e-onsoftware released a new version of Vue d’Esprit yesterday. I’m downloading the upgrade right now and I hope to dig in later this week after I get the multi-screen renders of my newest wallpaper up.

• A couple of items today. Yes I am working on a new wallpaper (actually I have a few going right now) and I hope to have it up early next week.

  I also wanted to mention that Zazzle has extended their 40% off discount on calendars until Nov 10th. As below, enter the code “CALENDARSAVE” at checkout to get the discount.

• Just a quick heads-up, it looks like Zazzle is offering a big 40% discount on all of their calendars from now until Halloween. If you’ve been waiting to purchase your Digital Blasphemy 2009 Calendar (with pages from Oct 2008 – Dec 2009) this may be a good time!

  Simply enter the code “CALENDARSAVE” when you check out.

  You can see my entire calendar collection here.

• I’ve added “Cooliris” compatibility to the Members Gallery this morning.

  I’m still playing around with it, but for now it loads the entire gallery in a nifty “flying wall” of images. If you see an image you like, click it and it will load a larger version. Look to the right of the title for an arrow. Click that and you will be taken to the image’s place in my gallery where you can download wallpaper resolutions.

  For now the 1152 x 864 images load when you click the thumbnails. If my bandwidth goes through the roof I may switch to the 640 x 480 images I use for the “See All” gallery.

  Click here to try it out after you have installed the plugin. Drop a comment below if you have feedback or questions.
