    ..my Thor's Day complaints:

    --Poor content naming. This not only happens here at Daz. Last night as looking for the Mavka Overalls (on of the dras for my RRRR submission), and couldn't find it, then remembered I didn't install a lot of my Mavka clothing as there is no Autofit clone for the Genesis version of the character. Searched all my archives on both the workstation as well as my old notebook, and my USB stick backup, but only could find a set of textures. To make a long story short, after over an hour of searching and sifting through a long long list of search hits finally found that the original installer was titled "Runtime" with a number after it. How would anyone know that as the Mavka Overalls?

    I would! Because of my system that I developed for organizing my freebies for the Freebie Challenge. I keep records of everything I download. That includes the link to the page (with the bbcode), name of the item, and filename(s) for download. But, I also rename those horrid "Runtime.zip" files with the name of the product. If there is a number (product ID) I leave it on the end. I truly don't understand how they can let that go through quality control at any store! I can see a new freebie maker, just starting out and forgetting to name the zip file properly. But I also don't understand why they wouldn't get a bunch of emails or posts telling them about it, and not changing it. There have been a few of those at ShareCG over the years. Of course, I spot them all the time now. But when I was just starting out I wouldn't notice it until I tried to download another item with the same file name in the same category and got a warning from Windows.

    Anyway, with my system, I can just search the 3D Stuff folder for "overalls" and it would be found in the text files, the zip files, wherever that word appears. There aren't really many items called overalls in the 3D world...plenty of "armor", though. :lol:

    Dana


    ...the sad thing this was a commercial item for which I paid money so it never ent into my "freebie bank". I would expect the .zip to have been titled properly or at least close enough to the actual content name or even just the vendor's name and an SKU # to figure it out. When I finally found the .zip, the first thing I did as rename it.

    The search turned up so many hits which showed all individual folders and files that it went into "not responding" mode for about fifteen minutes after I resorted the list by type and even then, it as slow going having to go through the folders line by line looking for the various Runtime/Mavka Overalls/... folders followed by the vendor's name. That is what took most of the time.

    Were I able to get online from home I would have simply gone to Rendo to DL it again.

    Oh, I use my system for all my things now, not just freebies. I guess it's something that wouldn't help all the things you've already gotten, unless you have the same things as I do, then I could give you a copy of those listings. My system is laid out in a tutorial on my site and it involved more than just the listings. It has evolved over several years. Anyway...

    I know but I saw a movie recently where a character thought an elephant was a mythical hippo.

    Vicky and Aiko used to be friends. But they fought over Mike, and while Mike likes them both, he's a piece in play, and he hates it.

    It will take something BIG to bring Aiko and Vicky back..

    Until then, the rivalry will have its time..

    I spent all evening listening to them bitch and moan, this is worse than summoning a succubus, ffs, I have enough material to write 500 million words :-S

    Cripes!

    is there a font to show when you supposed to roll an 'r' ? like the 'o' with dots over it. 'n' with the '~' over it means nya :)

    looking at some shakespeare stuff with swoosh 'S' s in it.

    the flat american 'r' is kinda unique among languages?


    In Spanish a rolled r is spelled "rr." Other languages might have a special character for it, but I'm not aware of any. I have a pretty typical American accent and the growling sort of sound that I make when I pronounce "r" is what linguists would call an "alveolar approximant" I think. Wiki has information on other languages that use that sound: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_approximant

    In Welsh R is trilled rather than rolled.

    The Welsh r should be trilled and always pronounced — never drop it, as most British English speakers do in barn

    Made even more complimacated if the 'R" is followed by "H", as in Rhodry

    The Welsh rh should be trilled with aspiration. Like saying a h and r simultaneously, but with more puff.


    looking at the character map for some possibilities.

    putting 2 rr's together doesn't change the 'r' sound, but i think changes the stress on vowel?
    worry, sorry
    pirates never roll their rr's. :)

    if we'd had a proper rolled 'r' letter, we wouldn't have grown up saying
    sah-kruh-teeeez or soh-kray-ts :)


    greeks roll their 'r'? maybe a greek 'r'?

    What's with all those upside down characters? :ohh: Do you have to stand on your head to pronounce those? :lol:
    That's what you people from the northern hemisphere sound like to us Southern Hemispherians ;-)

    Also they look upside down because like everyone knows things get more upside down turvywise the farther North you go :lol:

    --Tired of playing catchup
    --Bus commute is becoming a pain real fast and only will get worse when hours change in a couple weeks. Will have to leave home at 9:30 am to start at 11:30 am (for a trip that by car would take only 15 - 17 min.) just because of the poor scheduling and lousy connections..

    --Been rainy damp and cold the last few days

    Non Complaints:

    --The one table at eh coffeshop that has an outlet as unoccupied hen I got to the coffee shop.
    --Discovered the minimart near work accepts EBT card payments.
    --First Payday a week away (first expense, getting back online from home)
    --Will be sunny and 70s this weekend.

    Getting paid sounds real positive and heartwarming after so long for you :)
