Este es un especial de navidad… CONSEGUI NIEVE!!! MUAHAHAHAHA esta es una prueba de que cuando se quiere, se puede. La perseverancia es lo que nos hace realmente lograr las cosas… así que siempre persigan lo que quieren en esta vida, que si lo buscan con cariño, lo obtendrán. Feliz Navidad a todos y gracias por seguir mis bobadas

Holidays starting in 3, 2, 1... you don't want me blowing kisses, so a helpful Santa helper will help:

KTHXBAI

As per a Fedora Design mailing list post, Fedora now has the Synfig Studio program available in the repos for Fedora 11-12.

For those of you who don’t know what Synfig is:

Synfig is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based open-source 2D animation software package, designed from the ground-up for producing feature-film quality animation with fewer people and resources. While there are many other programs currently on the market to aid with the efficient production of 2D animation, we are currently unaware of any other software that can do what our software can.

–Synfig homepage

Synfig has supported releases for all major operating systems.

If you are anxious and interested in getting started with Synfig, you can check out tutorials available at: Synfig Wiki Tutorials or check out a gallery at Synfig Gallery

I had the laugh of the day (of the week?) when bmbogdan showed me this:

I found it very funny and ironic when you take your current avatar/hackergotchi, delete the Fedora logo from his T-shirt, submit the SVG as Public Domain to the Open Clip Art Library for everyone to use it freely and it ends as an illustration to an article about photo managers in Ubuntu. That's sharing! Lets all hold hands and sing "Kumbaya".

Note: the guy has NOT a happy face, maybe because of the GIMP removal? (he definitely looks like a pro)
