    Too sunny to sit inside this morning *waves* Ooh new Carrara !

    ...yeah I know.

    Have to come up with 80$ (using my September PC coupon) by next weekend as it's my only chance to upgrade before the price goes up to something beyond my means. Normally wouldn't be a real burning issue 'cept it now has Genesis support and I bought a bunch of Carrara content back in March (when I was still gainfully employed) in preparation.

    Wish they'd have waited another month or so.

    8.5 not working on current Mac OS so maybe there will be another version in a little while? *wonders*

    Test post from antique compy Firefox 1.5.02 802 11 wireless

    eta well just posted from almost every compy in da house that's on and no issues :)

    The issues really are quite intermittent and sporadic. I normally don't have an issue, but sometimes...bam! You can't make them happen...they just do, when you least expect it. Oh...maybe Allen Funt is involved somehow! :lol:

    ...machines are actually heavily into networking with one another, particularly so if they are on the power grid. That way, if you rage against one, one of it's buddies will get revenge on you somewhere, somewhen.

    I'd get in trouble if I pointed out it was FixMyPCMike, wouldn't I?

    Naaah, if he does it, I'll give 'im a plateful of wings too!

    I'm starting to think that a mere plateful won't summon Wooly. I must up the game.

    Now it is a TRAY full of wings, all kinds of wings! With dip, of course. I'm not a total barbarian.

    ...well the results are in for the PC challenge and I bombed again, While I got nice comments on several of my submissions, no GC for this month. Not sure how I'm going to be able to get the Carrara 8.5 update before it expires.


    Remember when I joked about a Harrier done in BRG a while back? Here was the idea that came from it.


    Even those in his Majesty's Secret Service need a little quality time now and then.

    Subscription based Adobe software. Goes to show how money hungry these corporate nunchucks really are. It's lamely them saying: we're out of new ideas to continue to create new yearly releases in the hopes that you'll buy a copy each round, (so now you pay monthly and potentially much much more in the long run.) But fear not, you will be up to date with all the latest updates all year round. (Hope you can still afford to pay your monthly living expenses, so sorry.)

    Now that thats out of the way, Beautiful render there KK

    On the plus side, a lot of DO's have lower prices than usual (66-76%) this weekend, so I bought a boatload of things on the cheap, including the Kids 4 Pro Bundle.

    I don't know. Remember, those Brits pronounce things oddly sometimes. It's their language and they don't say things right. For instance, aluminum...they pronounce that Al-you-min-ee-um...but, there is no second "i" in there!!!

    Yes there is, aluminium is the correct UK spelling for the metal (someone wanted to make it consistent with the other -ium elements).

    Haha! Yeah I can see allot of people doing just that. Thankfully I have CS5 photoshop. Just means its probably the last PS version ill ever have unless they offer a one time purchase outright. A shame, cos photoshop is my world. I started with CS2 and never stopped using photoshop. CS2 went free before they announced their greed, I'm sure it won't be long before CS6 is totally absent from the market.

    I guess I'm just tired and grumpy lol. My anti virus software is running out soon, and the bill to renew that is huge! It's cheaper/more beneficial for me to buy a new computer and have it greatly discounted (if not free) with the package! Joice mayne is an awsome shop lol

    No Wooly = dead quiet Sunday night.

    Wooly, the chicken wings are eaten. The strippers are gone and War Vixen is passed out on Borg's raging party floor... But that don't mean you can't creep in and say g'day. Just sayin' :smirk:

    I've been using the Windows Defender software available free from Microsoft for several years now and it seems to work just fine.

    Of course, I rarely click links in emails, not even those from my bank (though I do click the ones from the monitor bots from these forums).

    I also use the Web of Trust plugin for Firefox and Chrome and tend to get to most websites by searching. If a site is even remotely sketchy I open it using a browser in Sandboxie (http://www.sandboxie.com/) to keep it isolated.

    From what I've seen of from testing from actual security companies there's not a lot of difference between Windows Defender, Norton, McAffee, AVG or Kaspersky. The free apps tend to do just as well as the paid version for most things and in many cases have less of an impact on system performance. I know Defender has a much smaller footprint than either Norton or McAffee.

    I like that idea, I sure as hell know I don't have several hundreds of dollars to renew an app that rarely tells me it's actually located and put to sleep any virus or what have you. And generally when a computer starts giving lots of problems and becoming excessively slow, usually indicates its getting old needs a wipe or replacement. This be my first computer since moving out of home, and last year the antivirus offered a 12 month renewal free, so the whole renewal of security software is new, and I didn't expect to see the prices quoted lol I think my PC is about 5-6 years old now perhaps a bit older even.
