Sure is a complaint! Haz been colder than an investment banker's heart here the past week, everyone is complaining :)
...but in Southern Australia it's winter, it's supposed to be cold. Here in Oregon (≈1600 mi south of Fairbanks) it's supposed to be summer with the norms in the mid 70s (F). It struggled to make it up to 64° (F) today, and will be even cooler (and wetter) tomorrow.
A good day to go to the Cinema.
This winter seems colder, and is certainly wetter, than winter has been for ages. We had an earthquake (5.6, I thought it was a very long truck going past our house) on Tuesday as well so there has ben plenty to complain about this week. Perhaps it is all the solar activity, images of the Sun partying down have been amazing this year.

New challenge at the C4D Cafe: Modeling Cartoon Monsters. Judging will mainly be focused on modeling, some on texturing, and plenty on how cute it is.

...that reminds me, only a month to go before the "KEEP PORTLAND BEERED" festival at the waterfront. Four days of HOP-ping good fun featuring craft brews from all around the country.
...urp!
wantz portland beer.
too early?
morning pot o joe percolated
i miss wayii. i'm gonna render up some of her textures and reminisce
she made me think of the girl with dragon tattoo :)
maybe venus threw down some mojo when she was transit-ing
...at least yours is only 30$ if you just ride the bus.
Mine is 90$ going up to 100$ this September. I think that Capitol Metro has the right idea with the Local and Regional passes. I wish we had a similar structure here, as for the most part, I don't bother with our light rail since it doesn't go by where I live or work. Express buses pretty much don't exist here (save for a couple of routes and some limited stop service during the AM/PM commute times) because of the transit commission's emphasis on light rail expansion.
Portland is the smallest metro market in the nation to have such an extensive rail network. Unfortunately, it doesn't serve the most densely populated area of the city (which is where I live). For my daily commute, local bus lines actually offer more direct service with fewer transfers and no "out of the way" travel. However it seems that they keep cutting bus service and frequency system wide shortly after each new light rail or streetcar line goes into service.
Geesh, that blows! The VTA in Silicon Valley was that expensive, but at least there was service EVERYWHERE. I sure hope the bus lines you need stay intact!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, sounds like fun! Have a pint or two for me! :coolsmile:
...wish you could pack up some of the heat and sunshine up and send it our way. For the next several days it's going to be about eight to ten degrees below normal (just like last year) and rainy for the weekend.
...bugger, it was warmer in Fairbanks Alaska and Vladivostok Russia than it was here today.
(guess that qualifies as a complaint)
If I could find a way to, I would! We have more heat than we really need, although not as bad as last year - it was already around 105f for a couple of week. Urgh.
Try to stay warm!
Good morning Complainers! :coolsmile:
Already 76f here at 8:45AM, heading towards 100f in theory (argh). I've decided it's too hot and expensive to hit the Keep Austin Weird festival, so today I'll be Poserizing and generally rendering around.
Am hungry though - I had WINGS AND BEER at 3:00pm and skipped dinner. What to eat, what to eat? Take the 15 minute walk to the Austin Diner, or catch the bus to the Frisco and have chicken fried steak and eggs? Decisions, decisions!
Lunch will be, I think, DEAD FISH ON A PLATE. Roll On Sushi Diner is only a 10 minute walk, so I shouldn't fry too much. I have my straw hat so at least my noggin won't burn!
Back to installing all the content I bought yesterday... everyone have a great day!
Minor annoyance, not really a complaint: sometimes PPro takes so long to load a texture, I think it's locked up! I'm developing patience now, though (lol).
It's a bit of a learning curve, but as long as I have the PDF manual open I can bounce back and forth. A lot of what looked "meh" in DS4 looks "wow" in PPro, I'm pleasantly surprised! I have a couple of dynamic dresses for characters I want to try as well.
Almost lunch time, wheeeeeee! Oh geesh, smileys are dead right now. Frown!
I want to go see brave but that requires some cash and the banks are closed right now.
I will pass the message to Melody. Thank you.
main compy tied up in reflect/refract render.
ice cream break. a nap. zzzz taquitos and waffle fries for dinner. and an all nighter in wings.
leg cramp pains aren't as painful today. yayy.
complaint: i'm out of pancake mix. not even a frozen waffle in the house.
I found my camera. It was on the floor underneath the desk. I was actually looking for my check book.
now the kittens are in a spot i cannot take good pictures of them. I can barely see them as I misplaced my flash light. I count three little tails when Melody was nursing them.
I had a dream that I was somewhere on vacation. My brother had two pregnancy tests on him. I thought he was going to see if he was pregnant (instead of seeing if his wife was) It got all confusing and then became that I was looking for a toothbrush.
If I could find a way to, I would! We have more heat than we really need, although not as bad as last year - it was already around 105f for a couple of week. Urgh.

...well it.s currently 55° and already noon. Been raining steadily all morning with no letup. They say it's supposed to get up into the low 60s, but the way it looks and feels out there I wouldn't put my money on that.
Gotta go get the bus as I ache too much to ride the bike today. Going to take three times longer (or more) to get to my destination because of the bad connections and lousy weekend schedules.
...and to think, we used to have one of the best bus systems in the nation before all this light rail garbage.
@Kyoto: blech! Well, try to stay as dry and warm as possible!
Random note: the A3 character I thought crashed PPro 2010 actually rendered, I had to wait a LONG time (12 minutes) for the body texture to load into firefly, after that it rendered properly! I wonder what's going on during texture loading... I hope it's faster on the new machine!
I went through one box and did not find my check book.
SUPER NON-COMPLAINT! Had Dialysis just over four hours ago and not one bad thing so far today. NO FATIGUE and NO SUPER HEADACHE and still NO CRAMPS!! I feel almost normal, well normal for me anyway. It just might be a good day.
I'm just gonna slouch to bed and not get up until the Mongolian Death Snuffles or Avian-Bovine Flu Anthrax is gone.
That's good news. Hope it continues for you.
cookie sheet cooking. tear off some tin foil, roll out a few frozen taquitos. frozen waffle fries, set oven timer, and wait for the ding! dang, out of sour cream
EDIT Yes I know thats all wrong, but you need to be inside my head right now. It's all HUH What? I'm doing good to find the keyboard.
Morning. BIg bright blue sky day outside my window, and windless, so far, even a little warm, in the sun. Things are looking up, only forty or so days to go until Spring !
...well made it back home safe.
As I was walking out the door I noticed the rain had quit and the sky was clearing up. Decided to gut it out and ride instead of taking the bus. Got to my bank branch in half the time than I would have spent waiting for the connecting bus to get me there. Got a noodle bowl for lunch at my favourite Thai/Viet restaurant then off to the weekly grocery run. The big bottle (500) of Ibuprofen was on sale (50¢ more than the 250 ct bottle) so got it. Should keep me going for a while.
Talk about a "Dr Jekyll and Hyde" day one wouldn't think it was pouring down rain all morning looking outside now. Bright sunshine and warming up nicely (good I didn't put any money down on it not breaking 60 - and yes, in Vegas, you can actually wager on such silly things).
Checked the Cinema locations, times, and prices and decide to wait for Brave to make the rounds to my neighbourhood rep theatre. Most are on the far flung suburbs or in downtown and wanting 10.50$ - 14.50$ for the 3D showing. Shoot for the 3D price I could get admission, a pint of fine hand crafted ale, and a slice of most excellent pizza, instead of paying an extra 6$ for a cup of crushed ice with a couple spits of Fructose laden post mix in it and another 5$ for a cup of overly salted artificially buttered popcorn.
I just want to see the film for the story and the animation. Don;t need a two storey high screen and 3D glasses to "heighten the experience" after which I need to deal with getting home on the bus late at night.
Check the pathname. If a file isn't where a reference is pointing to Poser searches every runtime folder it references for the file, and that makes for long loads sometimes. You can use a script called collectSceneInventory to check the integrity of file references :) As a sidenote texturing is almost the last thing I do to a 3D scene, area lighting is easier when all the objects are untextured imo (but I tend not to use IDL or HDR lighting)
Bright sun here this morning as well :) Brave sounds good, don't think it is on here yet :)
Mojoworld cloud sim has only 70-ish frames to go - finished by Wednesday?
Epic WIN!! :)
