    Morning. Hot air balloons in red pink and orange to match the afterdawn-streaked sky drifting over rooftop and tree venting big noisy flaming gas into their gigantic gasbags :)

    :) should arrive early next week! I always like to keep 3 blends around and I ran out of Velton's Treehouse Blend. :down:

    I'm within inches of ordering a Melitta for the office.. office coffee sucks.. :down: :sick:


    I like the Lavazza Super Crema. We have a little super-automatic at work. It makes it worth it to trudge into the office! :-)

    Oooh, looks tasty! :)

    I've decided to get a Melitta cone drip brewer.. they won't let be bring in anything electric :shut: but I can microwave water to a bil and drip it at my desk. :) I'll be WAY more motivated once I get my rig set up!! :cheese:

    Wel dis not be good news :<</p>

    Our friend, inspiration and co-worker Monty Oum passed away yesterday afternoon at 4:34 PM surrounded by people who loved him very much. Ten days ago Monty suffered a severe allergic reaction during a simple medical procedure that left him in a coma. Although he fought bravely, his body was not able to recover. During his time in the hospital he was well cared for and never in pain at any time.

    *hugs* sorry for your loss

    Well it's not my loss specifically, since we weren't related/friends/etc... But he was a big part in the production of a web series I enjoy a great deal, so it's more a loss to the community (As well as obviously to his friends/family of course)

    Since your current avatar seems to be jpg, either a png or gif should work. :)

    Wonderful morning sight. When I lived in Houston we would run out to the yard whenever we heard the whoosh of the gas.

    Only two compolaints day!

    First, it was 17F when I woke up today! :bug:

    Second.. trying to re-install DS 4.7 was a MAJOR FAIL! *really angry fish emote*

    First, the DIM kept "download failed!" over and over even though I could reach the DAZ site and had no issues anywhere else. THEN, when I finally got DS 4.7 installed my HD light came on.. and stayed there.. while the system slowed to a crawl. Nothing running but Chrome and DIM. Rebooted, Win7 takes twice as long as normal to boot, HD light on continually, no apps but Task Manager running. De-installed DS, deleted everything associated with it, rebooted, Win7 boots fast and the HD light goes off about about a minute. :shut:

    No idea WTF is going on but I don't have time right now to mess with it.My thought is that the Content Manager is going something ignorant but I have an album and an EP to complete along with 2 tracks to master for a compilation so no DS re-install for now. :shut:

    Will buy a pile of backgrounds to drag into PS and mangle, use that for album covers and track art! :blank:

    *whinge moan complain whinge moan complain*

    Ok, done now! Everybody stay warm or cool, as needed! :cheese:

    There is a town in New Hampshire, in the White Mountains area, on Rt. 16, that has a Hot Air Balloon festival every year. We happened upon it one year and hung around looking for a little while. Such a site.

    Yeah, it's coming down pretty hard here, too. It's only supposed to add up to a coating to two inches today. I'm more concerned about the big one coming on Monday. Again. >:-(

    Bored, bored, bored. :blank: Completely at a dead standstill.

    I need help from the hardware guy, who is recently out of back surgery and spending lots of time at home healing, there's no backup hardware guy. I've done all I can without him.

    This project needs 2 software guys and 2 hardware guys. The company is too cheap to get anyone else in. :shut:

    Worse, the project manager (not my boss, thank heavens) is a micromanaging bozo that, as the projects drags on, gets worse and worse and when he's not on travel comes into my cube ONCE AN HOUR to ask how things are going. :shut:

    He's panicked because the FIRST version of the FIRST board of the FIRST product like this that the company has ever attempted has first-version issues. :blank: He has ZERO experience in software, software development, hardware development, or even a concept of what the software/hardware development life cycle. :blank: He flat-out told me "I don't want to know, I just tel you when I want it and you handle the rest". :blank:

    I've already informed the company that I'm not interested in joining full-time any longer. :blank: Once we ship this sucker, I'm gone. Probably back to California for a couple of years while I produce a commercial product in C#/.NET to gain street credit.

    That's how I became a game developer - wrote and put out my own games, leveraged it into a real job. Heh.

    This whole affair is epically stupid. They've fired 3 people in the past 3 months, all mechanical engineers. The fired the ENTIRE engineering team before they brought me and my hardware guy in. :ahhh:

    Maybe San Diego! :cheese:
