Clicks-of-Death

Came home tonight to a nasty sound, my biggest and newest hard drive has “The click” but its still giving me data (be it slowly), thank god! I was down at PLE this morning waiting for them to open so i could get a new one and now i patiently sit back and copy off the 120 or so Gigabytes of data that i didnt have room for on my other drives last night.

Icons.. Icons.. ICONS!

I’ve been searching for days now for a decent icon set that covers everything i require (note: this isnt that much). I’ve checked out the open-office.org icon set, i’ve checked out the eclipse icon set, kde, gnome.. u name it i’ve checked it. Now im not seeing these icon sets dont cut it, because they do.. they’re quite good actually, but well.. I just cant bare to look at my application knowing it could look ten times better if only i could justify $150US to buy some of the awesome sets that are out there.

So anyway.. I think im going to attempt to make my own icons, i cant justify the $$$’s these people are asking for their icons, even if it is kind of a reasonable price, i just dont have that kind of money.

If anyone could point me in the direction of something i’ve missed in icon land it’d be appreciated. I’m deffinately feeling the sets from glyFX, a perth based company, but i dont wanna shell out for those packs.
