I can't believe it.. I did it !

I finally finished it last night: Probeersel book 1 is now completely converted into one of the Probeersel.com image size standards. It also now has multiiple frames in an image (like an ACTUAL comic) which makes it a lot more userfriendly to read than the panel-by-panel way you have to read the other books, still.
It was a TRUCKLOAD of work, I can tell you. I started doing this sometime last year, but then my laptop's screen died and I couldn't do that in the train anymore (because I couldn't see what I was doing...). Since then, the laptop's been at home and acted as my specialised machine for 'heavier' graphics work. To work on it, I would need to switch screens and, well, it was basically a bit of a pain in the ass and I only worked on it anymore for stuff like The Grim DotCom.
So just casually continuing work on the Probeersel books was a lot more difficult. So I didn't, for a long time, leaving book one only slightly more than half done.
But now I have a much more powerful desktop (as you may have read before in this blog) so I really didn't have any excuse, other than other work that's to be done, to revamp these books. So the past week, in procrastination on programming a prepared solution for Feb 29th, I've been taking it up again. And last night, I finished book 1 completely. 600x400, 35 pages total, font sizes etc. pretty much generalized (making it look ten times as professional), text in Photoshop text layers (so I can now easily add new translations if any would be written in other languages than Dutch or English), etc. -- WOW. I tested all images, they're all there, as far as I could see there are no sloppy mistakes or anything (that I noticed), and the conversion from the old versions of book 1 to these new ones went flawlessly. Smooth...
I am impressed with myself. And that's good, because where Probeersel.com's concerned, I expect a lot from myself and it's been a while since my archievements with the site and comics have not been disappointing to me (such as failing to set up a scalable Content Management System that won't crash the server if we have too many site visitors, etc.)...
So. Yeah. Four more books to go, but still - it *IS* a milestone.
