...lovely city, been there several times, however not the best place for people like me who get regular house calls from uncle arthur to settle in though. I need more dry and warm.
So far here we've been having a lovely summer this year for once. Not too terribly hot with temps over the last few weeks almost spot on normal for this time of year. May dodge the usual August heatwave as the next ten days should be pretty much at average. Hasn't rained in any significant amount here since the last part of June.
I will visit, because of a lot of past history that will bore you and everyone ELSE mindless Maybe I will meet my loves sister who still lives in Vancouver, and I still have her email, but.. I feel weird about that, so I probably won't. :-S :-S
If I work hard enough, I'll stop caring! :cheese: That one thought sustains me through all this dreck.. that I can finally stop caring.
Yikes! :bug: :bug: :bug:
What do you mean, yikes? It's perfectly family friendly! The Mansons were a family, right? There's something here for every family! :lol:

Another big quake on New Zealand's South island

No casualties in NZ, good news :)
...oh geez, not again.
Nasty.
nooooo the alarm clock. overslept. the bus won't wait for me. 1/2 hour to the next one. i can dawdle for 29 minutes
Today's not-really-a-complaint-but-slightly-creeped-out:
I got a newsletter from one of the 3d sites I follow, one of the bigger ones. I saw "pick seven free models!" offer, clicked on the link, and was taken to Dreamlight's website. Okay, give them my e-mail address and they'll give me the goods. Hmm. Fiiiiine. I gave the address which is unique to the first site that originally sent me the freebie offer (nice ones, I must admit), and pop, up came the download links. I downloaded.
Couple of hours later I received mail from Dreamlight, using the e-mail address (remember, unique to that one site alone) I had given -- that's okay, I expected that to happen.
What I did NOT expect, was them peddling 3D Coat tutorials to me.
And now I got an e-mail where they are offering tutorials to that one new figure in town, which I downloaded from a different site, again with a different e-mail address, but addressed to the one I used to sign up.
I'm not complaining, per se. I acknowledged that they will send me e-mail, and they will probably have some sort of opt-out button on the mailing list if it gets annoying enough. It is their business model to offer services, and by gum, they are offering me a service, do I want it? (No, but thanks for offering.)
I'm just vaguely creeped out by cross-site cookies, Flash cookies, and information collation done behind the cyber curtain.
The reason why I keep different e-mail aliases (albeit one with a pattern) is so I can figure out if some site caves in and starts selling addresses to spammers/is cracked and I need to do something myself/e-mail bot goes nuts and starts spamming/etc so I can block the offending site.
I bought 3D Coat using a different account name, yet, bam, here is Dreamlight, noting my two most recent major downloads, and offering tutorials to me.
The future is creepy at times.
But mostly awesome.
Albeit a tiny bit creepy.
Thankfully, email addresses are very easy to make, and there are heaps of email services. I think I have 4 currently lol
While its scary that email addresses are sold so commonly between websites, whats most scary is when you start getting Spam text messages on your phone after registering an account with an on-line store. Privacy seems to be lacking for the future, and its not just the on-line world sadly.
Welcome to the 21st century way of online business. You think that's creepy, come to the US and meet our government. :)
Could just be coincidence, certainly on Dawn (I imagine a fair proportion of users have downloaded her). Dreamlight practises the adamantine sell.
Just that 3D Coat ad is slightly harder to explain, considering how it is way less recognized than, say, ZBrush and less likely to interest an average DS user who is probably much happier with the light tutorials and other things. The latter ad just pushed the whole thing into "OMG I'm being creeped on" category.
I can't go to any website (except for their competitors) without seeing the DAZ3D advert.
I don't want my searching "tailored to my browsing history" - it's just stupid.

With Dreamlight ads they don't have to know what software you have. I've gotten the one for 3D Coat as well and I've never purchased it. I eventually took my email off their mailing list because he was worse than most of the spammers - I'd get 3 or 4 emails a day from him all offering to make me a great artist in 30 minutes or less.
Don't get me wrong some of his lighting tutorials are great but his sales pitch really puts me off.
Well I want to tell you about a website called Daz3d. I want to convince you to join their platinum club which has a lot of freebies!!!!

If your browser supports DNT tag (Do Not Track, which is sent to a website before it sends anything back to you), AND the website actually honors it (hahahhahahahahaha, okay, some actually do), turn it on. It is one step on the way of less tracking.
yikes. i'll avoid dreamlight.
feeling chills. been coming down with something all week. ugh. i be staying home all weekend, installing, organizing runtime folders. and deleting DS4.5 for 4.6. and installing Michael5, the eunich version. tee hee. be interesting to see how the Elf Light skimp business looks on him, not like he has anything in the way. >.< my V4 is just as sad as M5. tee hee.

*drums her tummy with her fingertips*
AH GAWD.
I just served dinner and dessert to my friends.
Warm sammiches, with:
Nice, solid whole-grain wheat bread base
Olive oil smeared on bread
Gouda
Dried and cut basil and oregano
Sun-dried tomatoes, cut to shreds
Bacon, shredded
Onion, diced
A mix of grated Swiss and Mozzarella
Thin slices of pepperoni on top of everything
Dessert: home-made banana sorbet.
Man that felt GREAT -- not just to eat, but to cook.
...I like to think of it more like this:

Domino's 3D Art Supplies: "We will make you a great artist in 30 minutes or less or it's FREE!"
Ooooooh, sounds fabulous! :coolsmile:

Thanks, Cho! Worked like a charm (although Google apparently went back to the two separate opt-out clicks).
I love DAZ, but it was weird to have it stalking me everywhere I went. :ahhh:
Non-Complaint: Lawnmower fixed, lawn finished, yayz! :cheese:
Complaint: I want one of Skiriki's sammiches. :down:
