eyes wide apart

She has some lovely illustrations.
I always wonder how people do illustrations. Do they draft it on paper first or do they just hop on the PC and drag-and-click?

Wonder if there are any tutorials out there teaching how to draw illustrations like the ones she has.

gmail & celcom email sms

Does anyone know if it's possible to email sms to a celcom number from Gmail? Cause I'm getting a failure notification email when I tried.

From the email, I'm gathering that gmail is sending emails as multipart contents
Subject: xxxxx
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_Part_909_4480553.1121765928693"

------=_Part_909_4480553.1121765928693
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline



------=_Part_909_4480553.1121765928693
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline


While the Celcom sms email server is anticipating text/plain content.
(Email-SMS) Please check the following:
1. Typing error on Celcom GSM phone number.
2. The content-type of the mail must be text/plain *only*.
3. The mail is excessively long.


Does anyone know if I can get gmail to send mails as text/plain?

Windows XP search tweak

This is more for me than anything. I keep forgetting how to do it. Maybe it could be useful to you as well.

Ever tried searching for files via the specifying the 'A word of a phrase in the file'?
Then never seem to get any results even though you can bet both your arms and legs that some results show be returned and yet still get absolutely no files found?

Well, I get this a lot and I don't know why. Must have missed a class or two in the Windows XP Search 101 class.

I'm not sure if there is a better more legal way of getting the search they way I think it should be but here's the one I found in many many many places online. They are all the same and it involves changing one value in the registry.

Namely ->
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex]
"FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions"=dword:00000001


That's it! Simple huh? But the question remains, why doesn't the default settings of the search work?
