Thanks Sasha, that's really cool.

By the way, I really like the animated one, but it's rotating pretty fast. Is there a way to slow it down?

Here is same one with slower framerate:




As I said, animation is not that smooth anymore... I would have to recalculate whole animation and use more frames to get that nice and smooth rotation. Maybe I'll do that one day so I can show you...

Something like this maybe ?



EDIT: Not sure why, but sometimes this stupid image hosting service is giving me trouble... images simply won't show even though I am sure links are 100% valid.

Let's try with another service...

It's not necessary Sasha, this looks just fine, and I'm honored that you'd take the time to customize an avatar for me.

By the way, I've been reading about your experiences with your new Mac. A great operating system, in a very pretty box!

No problem, I just finished it...

File size of the first one is around 170 Kb, and this one a lot smoother animated is around 300 Kb... larger file size, but better looking animation.



EDIT: Yes, I am so happy with my new machine, I simply can not express myself using words... it's like a renaissance  ;D

Now, if I can just get this ugly Vista working the way it should work, I'd be so happy... one big nothing instead of fully functional OS. I am closer and closer to installing UBUNTU 7.10 on my laptop as my primary OS... if only there is a Flash authoring tool for Linux, but unfortunately I will have to wait a little bit more. There are some attempts of creating something similar, but those are far from the real thing... oh well, can't have everything I guess.  ;D

^,

Sasha,

I see what you mean, there's a big difference. This one is the best, and is certainly the keeper!

Take care, and many thanks for the avatar.

 :)

Edit:

They called it "Vista", because the name "Edsel" was already taken...

LOL! "The most spectacular failure in the history of the United States automobile industry"

Well, on second thought Vista doesn't sound that bad... If they named it Edsel, even this name looks pretty short, it would be still very difficult to pronounce that every single time you have to mention your OS name... I mean, its full name would look like this:

"Edsel - the most spectacular failure in the history of the World computer industry"

I wish I had an Edsel right now. An Edsel in good condition would bring a small fortune.  ;D

It was the first victim of Madison Avenue hyper-hype. Ford's marketing mavens had led the public to expect some plutonium-powered, pancake-making wondercar; what they got was a Mercury.

Well, it is possible, but the problem is quality... like an old saying in Croatia - "more money you give, more music you receive". In this case, if you want to have an animated gif avatar under 21 Kb, you'll have to live with this... it is 15 Kb, but its quality simply sucks.  :-\
