Carboni photoshop plug ins

Posted By Louis Marchesi

Opening Photoshop this morning required me to register the product, strange since I have been running it for months, so I dutifully put in the serial number and opened the app. Then I discovered by Carboni tools had disappeared. So I went to the WEB to get a down load and found that all Neil Carboni web pages have disappeared. Is this plug in no longer available? Anyone know what happened??

That seems strange. The Carboni web site seems to be alive and well:

Another Computer Legend Lost

I guess this news got lost in the Steve Jobs media frenzy.

I remember my constant companion back in the day, my programming bible: The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie.

Nice work smile

What kind of gear did you use? Exposure info?

I just got a wide-angle lens I'm hoping will catch an aurora at some point ..

Did you set up at Riverview Park? My mother-in-law lives next to that park. BTW I received my GT in August. It is fabulous.

Huh?

I am assuming that Jim's post (jokingly) referred to the (at the time) 19 votes for the Steelers, all of which he (jokingly) attributed to one Chris Nicholl.

That's my guess.

I figure if we can beat both the Colts and the Refs this past week, the Broncos should be easy pickin's. Your boys are going to have to score TD's of more than 15 yards next week, my friend.

I guess people are going to have to wait til next year for the much-touted Pats-Colts game. 8O

Let me start off by saying that I've been a Steelers fan since I was knee-high to a grasshopper (my mother and father met at work in the Koppers building for the love of Mike).

It never ocurred to me that the Steelers could lose in the Super Bowl until their last appearance, and I've been in therapy ever since grin

But hey, the Stillers are peaking at just the right time, even though I, admitting great shame, wrote them off before their streak to win out the season (and against the Colts as well).

Well, this weekend I'm bustin' out the Iron City (no, not really) and my Terrible Towel (really).

I do have one question, though: Just what the heck is a Steeler? wink

Someone who worked in the steel industry; like in a steel mill. The team owner re-named the team from "Pirates" in the 1930's and he felt that "Steeler" reflected the city's heritage.
