    I heard someone saying something a few minutes ago, and I'm trying hard to remember just who it was and what they said.
    Then it hit me. It was me, talking to myself.
    I still can't remember what I said.
    Getting old sucks.

    ...yeah I agree with that.  Worse is when I set something down (particularly my glasses) and end up in a protracted hunt turning things over only to find it was almost in front of my eyes all the time.

    Part of the reason why vid tutorials aren't much help for me.

    Or when you figure out that you pushed your glasses to the top of your head a couple of hours ago... and they're still there. Or you finally find your keys. Still in the door lock. On the outside. (This is why I replaced my locks with key-on-both-sides. The keys are always right there.)

    My wife asked me once why missing items were always in the last place you looked. "Because when you find them, you stop looking?" may have been the right answer, but it sure as heck wasn't the smartest one...

    ...you may also want to look at the Movie Sets series over on Rendo. There are a number of low poly ones that still look pretty good.

    Bad habit!  The "s" is for secure!  In my opinion, everything should be in https mode.  Actually, that's not just my opinion, either.

    Back in the day... (about two decades ago) I was evaluating this new idea called "IPv6" to replace the two decade old IPv4.  At that time, the newer protocol proposed supporting end-to-end encryption through all devices for all communication.  I thought it was a good idea back then but there was a lot of flack from spy people who didn't want to not be able to peek at your conversations.  So here we are two decades later and IPv6 is still the stranger at the door we can't quite bring ourselves to invite it in.  Yeah, yeah, I know big inter-networks use it but it's never worked its way down to the consumer in any big way.

     

    I thought they were starting to implement IPv6.  They were saying that we'd run out of IP addresses if we didn't start using it soon, and by soon, I think they meant last year.

    Encryption used to be frowned upon because of the extra bandwidth that it uses.  But these days that isn't so much an issue anymore.  I have my website in secure mode all the time, from the very first page request.  Whether it was requested as https or not.

    20 years ago they were preparing for the "running out of IP addresses" problem but it wasn't until just recently (few years) that the last range of 32-bit IPv4 addresses was allocated.  Perhaps not all "used" but "allocated" to an entity responsible for their dispersal.  And yes, like I said, IPv6 is currently in use by many organizations managing major networks but not by many corporations nor most end users.  So, once your data gets out of your house or office and past the local ISP station it probably travels via IPv6 protocols but the last mile to your home still uses address translation.  For many years we've been using address translation schemes to try to accomodate the overload of required IP addresses. This will work for a while.  But the goal of IPv6, with its vastly larger IP address range, was to have every networked device (computer, telephone, TV, radio, toaster, refrigerator, smart electric toothbrush and smart garbage bin using unique-in-the-world IP addresses.  Who knows what secrets that your toothbrush might have and could divulge under torture or hacking by peering eyes without the support of end-to-end encryption?

    Note: this is terrible.  I've tried to write knowlegebly about IPv6 but have failed miserably to recall details.  I was at one time very "up" on this stuff but after the first decade of not encountering IPv6 in the wild I lost interest and in the subsequent decade my knowlege has just rotted away. Getting old sucks! sad

    Same thing happened with my knowlege of DSL I was all excited about it when we were still using "Thick" Ethernet cable. I wrote reports to government and commercial clients about its potential usefulness but my real work had been with large network hubs or in corporations that used Ethernet cables throughout their buildings.  It took a long time to get from great idea to practical reality.  It wasn't until 20 years later that I actually encountered it in the wild after I'd retired and discovered that my phone company offered DSL internet access. surprise I'd thought that the idea of DSL had become obsoleted by optical fiber and out here in the boonies I would have to use satellite or TV cable.   My DSL service has measurably provided me 6Mb/s service and claims now that they can offer me 12 or 15Mb/s but offering and providing don't quite jibe in the real world over old phone lines far from the local hub.

    I am purturbed by Comcast still comparing their speed to that of DSL.  It's apples and oranges...or apples and molasses.  laugh  I consider DSL to be enhanced dial-up, not a broadband service.

    dont want my storie's cities to be endless skyscrapers.  want it to be pedestrian friendly,  

    does complicate things

    do love city concepts smiley

    I want a Suburban Sprawl. A convenience store, maybe a strip mall, lots of homes with lawns...

    ...I believe Collective 3Ds store was on sale yesterday Lots of nice neighbourhood houses. 

    Stonemason was working on a suburban sprawl set a couple years ago but I believe he shelved it for now. As I remember trees were the big issue as they would have made the set extremely heavy poly-wise and the only other option would be to use billboards.

    Problem is I own Collective3Ds store! If you use them to build a neighborhood, the poly count is... frightening. Rendering takes longer than building a real neighborhood would. On a government contract.

     

    On a government contract?  can only imagine how slowwwww that is  lol

    London is on an Island,  the Island is called Great Britain.

    The Thames is a river.   It flows through London.
