    It seems this particular forum thread is about complaining about non-Daz items.  Does this sound correct?  Where do I complain about Daz items specifically the user gallery. 

    *rant* 
    I'm frustrated that people can post a bunch of photo's in one dump (I see someone had called this shovelware or something like that) .  For example I see 16 images just shoveled up to the gallery just ten minutes ago by one artist.  Last night the same person did 59 images in about two minutes time!  I believe if there was a limit of say one per hour or X amount per day would be fair so that everyone gets a chance to be on the first page.  It's like internet search results where anything on page 2 is barely seen and anything on page 3, or on, is dead.  Needles to say that 59 image in a couple of minutes dooms everything to page 2 and 3 in a blink of an eye.  This limit would force people to be more selective in what is uploaded AND put more work into ONE image rather than a minimal amount of work into ten images. 
    *rant over*

     

    One of the reasons I don't post much to galleries these days, same happens at rendo.

    Rendo giving people 3 cents per upload doesn't exactly reduce the amount of uploads, I think.

    There's also one group that tend to flood the gallery using on account, I'm wondering if its the same set thats doing it here.

    What would they get out of that here? To be recognized or something?

    They do promos for vendors and advertise their products.

    Major Complaint: The air handler motor for my heat pump burned up and chose the night of the start of a long weekend to do it. I was lucky enough to find somebody to come out at night and replace it.but I had to pay exorbinant after hours fees and it cost me a small fortune.

    ...noteworthy rant, particularly if wintry weather is heading your way.

    Apparently just turning the TV is not the same thing as watching tv, especially when it comes to smart TVs.  If I do not know what I want to watch it does not either.

    I had to get plumbers here for an emergency, two days before Christmas...on a Sunday!  surprise

    Not fun.

    Then it's not really all that smart, is it?   laugh

    The trouble with smart machines is that in order to get them to do what one really wants, one needs to be smarter than they are.  Think donkey handling.

    Complaint?:  The snow continues but it's not quite snow, it's more like sugar and piles up like sand.  It hasn't coated my porch so much as formed long pointed rows and slipped between the 1/2 inch gaps between the boards.  There are little pyramids on top of the newel posts.  Hard to tell how much accumulation.  Tonight is supposed to be blizzardy.

    ...51° and just cloudy here.  Rain and mid - upper 40s tomorrow through Wednesday then 50s and sun into next weekend. We might just skate by with no "real winter" this year. We sort of were coming up on that 3 - 4 year cycle where we get a blast of cold and snow which paralyses the city for a week, but seems we're going to dodge that.

    I do not want to take a shower right now but I need to in order to get ready for bed. I do not want to stay up all night.

    Cool weather at last! Expected top of about 90°F, but in a day or two the temperatures will rise back to between 105°F and 110°F, as it's been for the last ten or more days. That's in western Sydney, Australia, of course. And relative humidity varying between 75% and 90+% for weeks now. With the worst yet to come in February. My airconditioner wants to vacation in the US.

    EDIT to add that at night it can sometimes get as cold as 75°F! Brrr!

    I somehow stumbled upon a fake java update scam.  I saw the url did not look like a real one so I closed it and looked for Malwarebytes which I needed to install anyway.

    Complaint:  Snow kept coming all night.  Wind was howling.  This morning it's drifted into sculptured mounds of sugar a foot deep on average but bare spots here and there and larger drifts in other places.  Russian poet Alexander Pushkin said it like this in his four stanza poem "Зимний Вечер" (tr: "Winter Evening").  Last stanza translates to approximately...

    The storm covers skies with darkness,
Spinning snowy whirlwinds tight;
Now it wails like a beast wildest,
Now it cries like a weak child.
Let us drink, o comrade dear
Of my youth, so poor and hard, -
'Gainst our woe; is a cup here?
It will cheer the saddened heart.

     

    It rhymes much better in Russian and is fun to recite.  Lots of rolling "R"s and throaty "G"s.  It lends itself to animated picturesque recitation.

    I thought it would be easier to watch Les Miserables instead of reading it, especially if it was in its original language.

    Oh   that's super, totally describes what is was like when we had the Beast from the East meet Storm Emma on 1st March last year.   My swedish friend said that in Sweden they call it snow smoke when the wind drives the snow like that.  It created the most amazing snow drifts,

    I found a YouTube video talking about free graphics arts programs and the first one they suggest was Daz Studio and also Hexagon.  I think I have heard of Daz Studio before.  Where though I forgot.

    Non-complaint:  The landlord plowed the driveway about 9:00 last night and again about 9:00 this morning.  My porch still isn't completely covered with snow.  The loose, sugary granules slip through the cracks between the boards.  Still snowing. indecision

    I have an audio recitation of Pushkin's poem "Winter Evening" that I gleaned from YouTube a couple years ago.  It's not the whole thing, just the first stanza but the first half of the first stanza is exactly the same as the first half of the last stanza.  It's read by a man with proper feeling, deepish voice, and enuciation.  Never tried attaching an audio file (mp3).  Curious to see if this works...  Nope, doesn't work. sad 

    Went looking for the original YouTube clip and it's been taken down for copyright violation. frown There are other recitations out there on YouTube but they're all recited by squeeky voiced women and are either poorly read or totally lack the gravitas and menace needed to convey the feeling of the storm.  I did find a recitation of the poem in English but it's too over the top, melodramatic, uses a wildly exaggerated translation, and is amateurishly acted.  (*sigh*).  However, I still, now and then, get the opportunity to shock or bore or provide mirth for people I meet, with my personal rendition of it. devil  Followed or preceeded by Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky". blush   Over the last six decades I've managed to memorize 3 poems, one in English and two in Russian.  I can die happy knowing that nobody around here understands what I say when I'm reciting poems. yes  Plus it's great fun to come out of anethesia after a surgery and start spouting Russian.   Confuses the hell out of the surgeon. devil

    Cold.  Cold.  Wet, slushy, icy!  And cold!  I cleared the cars and did some shoveling.  It was very heavy.  I shoveled an area, then put down some ice melt.  Then shoveled another area, and the first area was covered with ice.  After I put down the ice melt!!!  It was a losing battle.  And the expected high temperature for tomorrow is 10 F.  10 F!  Not 10 C, 10 F!!!  I hate the winter!
