First post updated with a few new specs and a new photo (Attachment)

No problem. I just keep forgetting the difference. LOL

Now, that you've mentioned it I do remember those but it's been awhile since I saw them. LOL

Thanks!  That's one of my themes, Starflight.

I have 4 themes, all animated:

Kinda surprised there aren't more animated themes out there.  Good fun. 

Yeah, not sure why I made it inline. I'll leave it as an attachment next time.

Now I get what happened. The image was not an attachment but an inline image. That's why I couldn't zoom in. So, I opened it in a new tab and is asked if I wanted to open in in a program or save. I opened it in paint.net and could zoom in.

I'm too busy with the themes to to try to relearn how to play again. But it's worth it.

Steve, look at the attached to see the CPU

I've always been a music junkie.  All my life.

Especially guitar, and electronica, with an emphasis on guitar synths.  That's how I got into this. 

A while back, my favorite website experienced massive CPU issues, and had no tech support: https://www.vguitarforums.com.  They sent out a plea for help & I volunteered to take a peek.  And ended up becoming the admin...

I'm an old guy, my programming experience was with mainframes, MVS370 JCL, etc.  But I have managed many teams since.  I knew modern website problems (way too many stories there...), but had not coded solutions. 

(If my programmers knew I was programming, they'd be horrified...)

There were many, many issues.  DB issues with inconsistent collations, a broken 1.1 => 2.0 upgrade, many broken mod installs/uninstalls, PHP & MySQL were ancient...  Slowly I resolved all of them. 

Then, I became interested in helping SMF get 2.1 out the door - I was concerned vguitarforums didn't have a future platform.  So I taught myself php...

And did so.

I've been trying to spend much more time with my music.  I do not consider myself a very good guitarist, but rather, an inventive one, & a concepts & an idea guy. 

Now that I'm no longer SMF dev lead, I've been spending a lot more time with music...

And spending time with music sites on the fediverse, in particular electronica & ambient...
