    Yesterday, I wasn't able to boot my computer because I left a disc in the DVD-rom drive. Opps. The computer is set to boot from the DVD drive if there is a disc inside the drive.

    I think my DVD drive is dirty or going bad. I cannot watch movies or use data CDs. I'm going to try cleaning the lens first before I spend $30 USD on a new PATA drive. I checked the BIOS date of my computer and saw that it dates from November of 2005.

    I'm going to learn how to use Photoshop CS. The toolbars look simple to use, but the menu looks harder to use. I need to add a background to my render.

    Yeah, but currently I live on Tums when I'm in "stressed mode", so switching to decaf *might* take the edge off my nerves, with a corresponding loss of productivity! :ahhh: Can't write software without caffeine! :gulp:

    Ugh on the ulcer, that sucks. :down:

    Sounds like a twisted version of a murder from the game Clue (Cluedo for some of those who live across the waves). :lol:

    Ha, just grabbed a couple of items out of my Daz, Rendo, and RDNA wishlists. Slowly but surely! :bug:

    Also ordered a RAM upgrade for my tablet, going to max it out at 4GB. I love it! It runs my novel writing software, has a real (and good) keyboard, is light and will last 7 hours with the wireless off (I tested it myself). :)

    I still need to upgrade the i5 system to 8GB, it's going to become my main rendering machine. 8GB for stills (movie posters/book art/album art/pinups/erotic renders/horror renders) should be fine. I just need to strip it down a bit, it loads a lot of Bluetooth stuff and I have no Bluetooth devices! :bug:

    Lunch soon.. baked potato and cheddar soup! Sure, from a can, but it's still good! :cheese:

    @ps1borg: I have no idea actually XD
    It's so heavy that I've never really been able to hang it on my wall properly, so I just keep it as an ornamental thingy rather than a timepiece :)

    Vue xStream or Lightwave, can't get both (Right away that is...) and I have until the end of the week to decide which to get e3e

    Tough call. Don't you already have C4D? I'd think Lightwave would be redundant, I'd go for Vue instead to get all the fancy landscaping and ecosystem stuff anyone could possibly want. Just my two Euros worth... :)

    Well the idea "Every program has it's strengths" comes to mind... And NewTek is offering the most recent version of Poser Pro for free along with it (Which makes it a $2000 somthing deal for the price of just Lightwave)
    Might be a bit redundant yes, and the interface isn't as pretty as Cinema's, but it's modeling :O
    It's fur/hair seemed slightly easier to use than Cinema's (Besides which I don't have Studio since the trial period expired so I can't USE hair in C4D now)

    Ahhh, gotcha. Well, LW is certainly (pretty) affordable. Last LW version I used was LW7, I liked it a lot but never ended up getting a copy (used one of the artists machines at the game studio I was working at back then). Modeler definitely ROCKS, or did! And I like the particle systems, very easy to use but deep.

    And PPro 2012 for free? D A N G! :bug: :bug: What a deal! I love PPro 2012, with SSS you can get some pretty darn good results out of Firefly (the Poser renderer).

    Ugh, back to "tough choice". :-S

    Already did. It expired months ago =P
    I spent about twenty minutes with it during the entire 30 days I was able to use it. Story of my life with pretty much every 30-day trial thing - I download them and then never use it XD
    I get distracted too easy, and my mind wanders too much. Is why I think I'm wasting my time, money, and life with this 3D hobby - I have the tools but don't do crap with them =/

    Pretty Bird! :cheese: :cheese: :cheese:

    It got up to 48f with mild wind so I went out and got a BURGER MADE WITH CHEESE AND DEAD PIG! :coolsmile: :cheese:

    Stuffed now, need a nap.... snzzzzz...

    Oh, I know all about the 3D hobby thing. :blank: I have nearly 100GB of content I merely toy with, crank out throwaway renders, weird meaningless stuff, or just "proof of concept" renders. Sad. I could stop buying content this instant and not run of of raw material for scenes for.. well, until I dropped dead.

    I don't use Carrara any more, or Daz Studio, or Hexagon, or Bryce. Sad. I dropped it all to focus on PPro 2012, to see if my productivity improved (obviously not). >:-(

    I've spent today telling myself I don't need a shiny new toy to make me happy.. lol! But I'm filled with gear lust.. a new i7 system, a new Nashville Telecaster, more books on writing.. fercryingoutloud! I should be saving for a vacation to Australia or something!

    My cash would be better spent on strippers, at least the experience could be used in what little writing I'm doing (heh). :smirk:

    I *have* been writing more since I got the tablet, oddly enough. Scrivener runs perfectly, and I can stick it in my lap and crank away without distractions since NOTHING is installed on it but Media Player for music and Scrivener.

    I'm really starting to feel that "one machine per purpose" is best for me, so I don't get distracted from one thing, by another that's right in my face... :-S

    Complaint: why are Magix-101's "The Dwelling" and "Trees and Skies Pak for Worldbase-XT" showing up in the new items list, between Stonemason's Mech Enforcer, and XP Pointblank's Nishta? (both definitely new items).

    Have they been updated since release mid-December last year or something? o.0

    Borscht actually sounds good, when it's this cold. I wonder if they sell it in cans at the grocery store? Or jars? :-S

    I cook less since there are now 4 of us squabbling over the stove, feh. I'm just glad Austin has a lot of diabetic-friendly places to eat! :bug:

    Try Sasha's at Rockwood and Anderson next time you're in the neighborhood. We used to always go there for KinderEggs, but the ban stopped that.

    After all, guess we gotta "Keep Portland Weird".
