I've started using Photoshop! Well, I'm using it properly now, as opposed to during my GCSE Graphics lessons.
I just learnt the concept of the tenth-dimention and every dimention below it...wow, that was amazing and surprisingly interesting:

The duration it roughly 10 minutes and it's fairly easy to follow (there's no need for prior knowledge, I should now, I only learnt it today)

Basically, I'm quite the Mathematics freak, here's an example:-
I could quickly and easily multiply any two digit number by 11 and I'm going to teach you (brace yourselfs), or just skip to the bottom.
So, 23 x 11 = 253
To do this, first split the 23: 2 3
Then add the two number together: 5
Put the result between the two numbers: 2 5 3
...and that's your answer
Now if the middle number is 10 or above, carry the tens to the front digit:
So, 68 x 11 = 748
...because 6 + 8 = 14, so 4 goes in the middle and the 1 is added to the 6 to make 7
Confirmation that I'm a Mathematics freak is that I actually like this song:

I have no regrets in my Mathematics enthusiasm.
Now that I've bored you half to death, I'll just mention that I'm starting a new job tomorrow. I'll be working at the London Metropolitan University in Web Designing and IT Maintenance. I have a lot of stuff to learn over the next few months:
Javescript
C++
Java
Flash
More Photoshop
Dreamweaver (or WebPlus X2 if I can get my hands on it)
Otherwise, I've been readings book called
Digital Manga Techniques which explains the recent improvement in my artwork. Anyway, have fun guys (if you like Maths extensively, which I doubt, you can ask me for more useful info

).
