Shaders are the BEST THING EVER.
I have to agree! You can take something and make it 1100% unique, which is cool.
My Daz wishlist is 90% shaders.. lol! And a few monsters and some stuff to make Genesis-based monsters as well.
My Rendo wishlist looks like the prop list or a Stephen King or Clive Barker movie!!!! (evil grin) I always have everything I need to work on The Vicky Chronicles, but I'm sadly lacking in Victorian/steampunk gear and horror settings.. easily fixed.
Graveyards, and coffins, and demons.. OH MY!!!! (ahhh emote)
started a new sims petz game. i evicted everybody and bulldozed all the houses. muwahah
need to compact everybody into fewer houses to make room for more families.
i think the only way to get the Townsends and Hardimans to live together, someone has to get divorced first.
and while they're in the realestate office, a couple of makeovers. and replace the pigpen dogs with snootier personalities.
except Presto Parker, i luv Presto. :wub:
tee hee hee
Luca is the most fashion savvy dog in whiskerton
my new virtual boyfriend. sorry HJ
Maybe I need a virtual girlfriend, like in one of those Japanese dating sims. I'd save wear and tear on myself, not to mention the expense of multiple dinners, having to work my way through dozens of women to find the best one, and potential issues with my love of stuffed snakes(lol) and fish (lol)!
There has to be such a thing for lonely geeks no interested in going out of their computer room.. lol!
Uh, yes, there are. Dozens of them.
I'm afraid to Google it at work!(scared face) Who knows what people would think!
Oh, wait.. (red face)
..they already think that. (frownie)
*edit* Dang, there are a bazillion of the things out there! (ahhhhhhh help meeeee)
There's always the option of programming one yourself!
That's what the guys did in that 80s movie! And you gotta say, Lisa did kick much butt and had awesometastic powers for someone who was coded with C-64... :D
Heh.. I could see using Aiko as the girl, adding a ton of AI and learning/adaptive behavior, and making it an HTML5 application on the Web.. I could chat with her at work.. lolololol..
Wait, why am I laughing? (blank face)
He is a good looking guy. I wish I had his build.
I am hungry I want something to munch
I suppose so ^^
Though I also mentioned some time back a package I ordered (That did not have tracking information, and thus they would not be able to alert me if it was delayed or etc) that estimated it would arrive AT LATEST 5/1. It's been well over a month since then, and nothing has come. I double and triple checked the address and it was the same as the one that two books were shipped to with no problem, and I've never had issues with this seller before - not even a day late sort of problem.
All I can assume is something went wrong, but I never got any email about it so I dunno what happened.
Yeah and that "At latest" bit? They estimated 4/14 - 5/1 for the shipment at 5 -7 Business days (Which was the only shipping option they had *shrugs*)
Have you contacted them about it yet? I wouldn't have waited this long, honestly. If they told me 5/1, I'd be on the phone by 5/3 asking where my package is. You can't be angry at them now, they haven't heard from you so they probably assume that you got it. Unfortunately, UPS doesn't have to get a signature anymore. They used to always get a signature, even for a $10 package. Now they just drop it at your door. I don't like that. I think most of the other services are the same now. Unless it is specified in the shipping instructions to get a signature, they don't bother. And yet they charge more for their service now, but give less service.

Thank you. I don't have the DAZ Horse 2, that's why I asked.
I'm glad you got your server update done! Now go take a nap!
Dana
Feeling better today. Thank you all for sympathies. Little bit of hurty head today, but I'll take it over the way I felt yesterday. : )

Even when I was 24 and hot, I wasn't THAT hot! (cry cry) Now I'm extinguished erm DISTINGUISHED looking... (red face)
When I worked at COMDEX we made a zipped backup of every single production release (the source code)that went out, with a date and version number, and daily backups of the database. We could go back to any working version in short notice. I never can understand that mindset. If you don't have the time to back it up properly, how are you going to find the time to re-do all the work?
But, at least you have job security!
Dana
Get some sleep, relax, heal up! (hot tea emote)
The Sphinx looks enigmatic cos it's trying to figure out the mysteries of parcel delivery.
No wonder he turned to stone!

This is a small shop - a total of 5 software engineers - but the median experience level here is 14 years! (bug eyed) There's ZERO excuse for anyone with more than 5 years of experience to NOT run a relatively tight ship.
But yeah.. gives me plenty to do, keeps me busy, plenty of extra goodies to add to the resume.. uuurp! Not so good for the digestive system (barf face emote).
Glad to hear it! Rest up, we want you back to your old self!

I think it's going to be TACO TUESDAY!!!! (dancing egg emote)
The bus tonight drops me off right in front of the local Mexican place, I'm going to load up on tacos, have some tonight, and the rest tomorrow, wheeeee! Tonight "North America" is on Animal Planet, a great nature documentary about the whole North American continent.
Tacos, beer, and documentaries.. now that's my idea of fun!!! (big grin)
..of course this might also explain the lack of a girlfriend.. heh.. (red face)
Minor whinge/rant:
Wow, the price of going out for fun has gone WAY up! Two years ago, when I was hitting the Summer festivals, admission was usually under $20 or you donated 3-5 cans of food to the local food charities. The SAME festival this year (Pecan St. Fair) has gone to $50! WTF PEOPLE?!!!? For that $50 I can go out for a top-end meal,or have a movie and dinner, or hang out at Bikinis and eat wings and drink beer for 3 hours while being served by bikini-topped waitresses! And Bikinis has A/C and sports TV!!!
Thank heavens the Austin Hot Sauce Festival in August is the same - 3 cans of food for the local food bank is admission (I always bring more). I think I'll save it up for the hot sauce festival.. ugh.
Between that and $10 movie tickets, blech! Suddenly staying home seems like the best deal! (meh face)
2 hours 25 minutes and I can go home, wheeeeee!
...same here (again). Odd I' will get dropped from a highly active thread like this one or the Stupid Thread, but then will get an ebot for a thread I haven't visited in months.
Oh and more site stupidity, when I clicked on an link in an ebot for one thread this morning I kept getting directed to my account page instead of the thread. Going on thirteen months and one would think they'd get a clue by now this software is a lemon if they (devel.) just took a little more time to peruse the forums.
...and once again found myself signed out this morning. At the very least, after all these months, one would think they could have fixed the Forum sign in page so it actually shows up rather than being routed to the store one all the time.
Maybe they need to assign a separate person to handle forum support tickets because this kind of rubbish has been going on far longer than it should have.
The only reason I can keep up is that I have vast spaces of dead time at work, while waiting for the tet folks to get me results. And that's not always the case, so some days.. I miss a lot.. (red face)
One hour 25 minutes and I go home for tacos and beeeerrrrrrr! (grin)
...arrrgh, I know the feeling of being set up to fail because someone didn't care to do their job right.
Used to have this senior salesperson where I worked who preached about following procedure, until it came to herself. Often times she would give us few if any specs for a new job, then a day later, would burst into the department like a Category 5 hurricane to read us the riot act because the job needed to drop within the next day even though she never cut a proof request (required by department procedure for any new item we printed or one that is revised which was the Account Manger's responsibility). Then, there were times we did exactly what she specified and she would contradict herself saying it was all wrong and our fault even though we followed her instructions to the letter. It got to the point that I nearly walked out after one of her tirades over something fairly insignificant (that was due to lack of information on her part), and finally requested to my manger that she no longer was to have any direct contact with me if he wanted me to stay.
...still want the old smileys back.
..the shades of nature ones? Have to wait until cheque day to get those. Will come in handy for a lot of my fey pics as well as the character Myst in my story who is the resident druid on the Grande estate.
I have to agree! You can take something and make it 1100% unique, which is cool.
...Still playing around with the Metallised Glass Shaders. Now when my little heroine Amber does her "Amber Blast" trick, she really can turn a bad guy into an amber statue (of course like any good super, she can reverse the effect but only after they are securely in police custody).

Yep! Those!

The only good part of this is that nobody is blaming me - my boss, the production manager, all know that I got handed a crock of poop to deal with and I'm doing the best I can with it. The original engineer is long gone, the guy that took over didn't bother to go back and do the right thing, and my boss is pretty upset at the guy (can't blame him). But it's still a crock and it needs to be fixed.. ugh.
I'm soooo looking forward to a cold one tonight, and some nice documentaries (my not-so-secret vice is nature shows).
And yeah - who stole our smilies? (angry face)
...you have a much more understanding management than I dealt with. Hopefully whatever my next job is, it won't be one where I have to deal with such "Jekyll & Hyde" rubbish anymore. One day you're the darling of the company, the next day you're their goat depending on what side of the bed they got up on that morning.
