You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You: 'ello?
Stranger: Hi, want to see my new music video?
You: Uhm... not if it's metal or emo...
You: XD
Stranger: no more electonic
You: I'll give it a shot
Stranger: cool
Stranger:

Stranger: tell me what you think
You: -listens-
You: Music is good. Good.
Stranger: thanks
You: Not so sure about the video
You: But the beat is great
Stranger: did it all myself on a very, very limited budget
Stranger: zero to be honest!
You: XD
You: The wonders of computers..
Stranger: just trying to get some honest feedback
Stranger: where are you from?
Stranger: you can probably guess from the video where I am from
You: Florida in the US..
Stranger: nice
Stranger: I hear its very hot
You: You must not sleep much..
You: Well, it is friday nigt..
Stranger: no
Stranger: I work a lot at night on music
You: It's actually not bad right now.. the humidity makes it seem worse a lot of the time..
Stranger: are you male or female?
You: Female XD
Stranger: so good for getting a tan then
Stranger: and going to the beach!
You: Eh.. Don't really like the outdoors, honestly..
Stranger: I love it but I work so much I rarely see it
You:
Stranger: and it rains loads in London
Stranger: so why don't you like the outdoors?
You: XD Uh.. it's hot.. mosquitos..
Stranger: I hate insects
You: Not so many mosquitos at the beach, but there the sun burns you and there isn't a lot to do if you don't want to tan or swim.
Stranger: I love to swim but I would burn so fast
You: If I get dragged to the beach I'll bring a sketchbook or read..
Stranger: you like to draw?
You: Occasionally..
Stranger: I went to art college
You: :O
Stranger: and studied design
Stranger: anyway, thanks for watching the video
You: I know someone who's studying design.. I had a lot of art classes in high school (went to one that specialized in art classes) but I decided not to continue down that road. Didn't enjoy it enough to want to pay to study it. XD
You: 'welcome
Stranger: what did you study?
You: Basic stuff, draw/paint, printmaking (my fave), photo..
Stranger: cool, well keep it up as everyone should offer things to the world
Stranger: as Samuel Beckett said the worst insult in the world is 'Critic'
Stranger: lol
You: I still make arty-type things occasionally, just for fun. Also web programming (not so much design)
Stranger: I hate the web, I have decided but only because who I work for
You: Designing pages is a pain, but programming can be fun (for me, PHP)
Stranger: really! I am running away from coding
Stranger: I work in a technical services team for a company you will use every day when you search!
You: Google then? XD
Stranger: lol, precisely
Stranger: leaving in 2 weeks
You: :O
Stranger: I don't agree with them morally or ethically so I am off
You: Ah..
Stranger: But I fell for their propaganda before I saw it from inside
Stranger: took me a year or two to see the reality
You: Everything you hear is that working for google is great..
Stranger: from their marketing team!
Stranger: lol
Stranger: maybe I am just bitter now though!
You:
http://fc00.deviantart.com/fs33/i/2008/301/b/0/Harvest_Moon_by_mmmmdeath.png I do stuff in illustrator every now and then..
Stranger: very nice
You: Eh XD
Stranger: I have a thing against png's though! lol
You: Why?
You: Better than gif..
Stranger: true
Stranger: I love a jpeg though! lol
You: Jpg compression = bad looking for vectors
Stranger: very true
You: Limit the # of colours in the png and it can be smaller than the jog
You: *jpg
Stranger: I work in Rich Media Advertising and we just had so many issues with them corrupting and not working
You: PNGs corrupting?
Stranger: and adding to much weight
Stranger: but as you say they can be lighter
Stranger: its just lots of people don't use the right
Stranger: but I am just being a pedant!
You: Most programs don't give the options, even in PS you have to use the Save For Web dialog instead of just "save"
Stranger: yea as they will corrupt again if you just save
Stranger: I am going back to work in a creative agency now
Stranger: as it is so much better
Stranger: but its 2.40 nearly here so I should go to sleep
You: Hm.. I have yet to find work doing what I'm studying, so I wouldn't know.. XD
You: Haha.. 3 am, not too late actually.. anyways, good night then
Stranger: well good luck
Stranger: got to be up and working again at 9
Stranger: have a good one!
You: Oh.. then yeah it is late.. working on the weekend
Stranger: bye!
You:
