Crap, crap, crap! (Patreon)

To those who are leaving me now because of the US government's shutdown, I'm sorry for what happened and hope you were not among the voters of the cause. I know what you are going through, I understand that and hope you can get back to work very soon, or you will find a better and safer job, or win a lottery! I will cross my fingers for you. And don't forget me, if you win a lottery!! ;)

Not bad enough that this happened, this Inkscape program wrecks my nerves. As I have informed you several times before, it's still buggy. For the actual work file I outsourced the frame, so that I could start from scratch, but even this blew up in size. The finished frame had a size of 18.6 MB [See attachment Sample 2]. Then I transferred this file into another software (Scribius), did nothing but exporting it again and the result was a file with 117.7 kB [See attachment Sample 3]! Too bad that I can't do that with all finished files, the process of page 2 went already too far, to do this procedure with all frames that are done until now (would be 12 of them) is a too big effort, because at this 'transfer' some settings get lost, so I have to correct each blurring, clip setting and more, to get it the way it was before. S***ty software. Worst is that this eats up precious time.

And to make the dilemma complete, my pains got company. To the new patrons (that didn't read the overview text): I want to work faster, but can't. Constant back pains won't let me, now new pain was added, I see a specialist this Thursday.

You, who is still with me, with endless patience and this generous support, be aware that I will work as fast and often as it is possible. Thank you very much.

Big hug!!
