critters be gathering their nuts. squirrels would like pistachios i bet. cheerios prolly be too sugary for em.
i put out peanuts, the bluejays swiped em, carried peanuts off one by one, right in front of me, they haz some cajones. peanuts are still in the shell, how would the even open em, unless they're buddies with a squirrel.
midnight here
once upon a midnight clear ... :)
I got the toon crab. I would have gotten the toon ostrich, but I already have him. Just got the crab this morning! I got the ostrich when it came out a couple summers ago.
I've always been somewhat of a crab so when I was young my parents got me a stuffed animal of a crab
Zoyburg from Futurama is my favourite film star crab :>)
tee hee. the zoyburg shuffle. was an episode they went to the beach.
if i close my eyes and sleep a bit, will my muse still be there when i wake? or will she move on to someone else's dream?
muses are flightier than will O wisps.
i've liked this little set from the very beginning http://www.daz3d.com/garden-temple-ii
always been a conundrumm, cuz my r/t haz separate folders for gardens and temples.
12:00 pm here and it's 57 degrees F.
Here's some fun facts for the Halloween season.

woes, can't make it through a 3 day weekend without ice cream in my crib. meh, long walk to the stores.
almost Thor 2 time. woot. hoping Lady Sif has more screen time this time.
What movie is he from
...not angry, as I am terribly frustrated by all this suddenly occurring.
The logfiles give no clue as to the cause of the failure like a bad .dll call or missing path. I can understand it crashing if I was doing something like a render with tonnes of reflectivity, a half dozen figures, smoothing, extra LOD, and heavy transmaps, but a simple camera move in open GL mode?
When I was getting the blue screens, I couldn't make head or tails out of what the diagnostic tools were telling me in Safe Mode. it was as if they may as well have been written in Egyptian Hieroglyphs they seemed so incomprehensible.
Again I do not possess the level tech skill and experience that yourself and others here have and thus don't feel I know what I am doing when it comes to troubleshooting system (Windoze and hardware) issues. Basically I'm afraid I will make matters only worse than they are because of my lack of expertise in this area. I know the old "dead" languages, I know how to match up components correctly and physically put a computer together. I know how to install software and perform some simple configuration tasks like getting the BIOS to see drives and other devices or installing and making sure software sees peripherals like printers or scanners, but that is about it.
When it comes to anything more, I feel I am in over my head.
I must've missed it. What is your issue?
he was the dude in Willow left madmardigan in the crow cage.
If you hear screaming, iz my arteries. :)
cooking meatloaf with bacon strips on top to flow into the meat. sour cream, cheddar cheese, and those tostado scoop tortilla chips.
not worried about dessert, prolly be in full stomach food coma.
movie line up tnite, Willow followed by Fifth Element. :) saving the resident evils for next week. luv me some Milla :lol:
...had two crashes yesterday while working on a scene which occurred when I was doing a simple transition move while working with AoA's Advanced Ambient and Spotlights. I did periodic saves during a session (standard procedure), which apparently went to memory instead of to disk, so when the programme crashed everything I had done, including what was saved. went with it. Lost nearly three hours worth of work.
At first I couldn't figure out why the crashes occurred for even the logfiles show nothing irregular just before the programme shut down.
Others thought it might be something with my system but just a short while ago I learned someone else who was working with the AAL/ASL had the same issue occur 5 times while working on a fairly simple scene.
Again, unfortunately the logfile seems inconclusive so I'm not sure how much of a help it would be in a bug report as the last statement concerns one of the finished render tests and has nothing about a transition move.
Do you have the current graphics card driver?
it is often better if you save a scene then close the program and restart your computer before you do a render
I find this in all my 3D programs
I think it clears the RAM or something techy
almost a week to go, but feeling done with the monsters this year.
cutey jingle catz? :)
i don't like Bohguhlcut. sigh sigh, not really in the mood to vegetate on a movie i've watched over 20 times.
no wanna rummage the halloween havoc sale again.
20:00 is too early for nite-nite
sigh
wishing i had a wireless ps2 controller.
I'm watching The Adams Family the movie
Tip #1:
I never do this in Windows 8 anymore. It's just not necessary with 8. However, for Windows 8 users who feel strongly that this is necessary, then here's a tip:
If you shut down Windows (so the PC turns OFF), then restart it, you are actually NOT getting what we might call a "cold boot".
Microsoft changed the way Windows 8 handles things. When powering off with "shutdown", Windows actually saves the system state, then uses that information to reconstruct parts of memory the way they were before you powered down. Saving and restoring the system state is faster than it is to "re-initialize" memory. So you might think you're getting a "fresh start", but that's only true in Windows 8 if you do a "restart".
If you are still on Windows 7 or earlier, then I believe a shutdown causes the next start to be a "cold boot".
Tip #2:
If you are getting repeated bluescreen crashes at all, this is not normal and you should not accept this. I define a repeated bluescreen as any two blue screens within 2-3 weeks having the same description.
Tip #3:
Most common cause of BSODs: Bad video driver, USB device, or USB device driver that does not properly handle low power system states (such as "sleep", "hibernate", etc.).
Tip #4:
Another possible cause of BSODs: Specifying "zero" for minimum and maximum virtual storage. Windows sometimes needs some virtual storage, so please stop trying to turn a tiger into a kitty cat, and then complaining that your "kitty cat" just bit your arm off. With Window 7 you should specify at least a few GB, or let Windows manage it. For Windows 8, you should let Windows manage virtual storage. Always make sure "some" virtual storage is on your system (C:) drive so that the dump writer can do its work and leave you something with which you can do diagnostics.
Tip #5:
If you get a repeated BSOD (Tip #2 above), you can use BlueScreenView from Nirsoft to try to gain some insight into the problem. Make sure you have some virtual storage defined to your C: drive (Tip 4), and the next time you get a blue screen, use the viewer to navigate the dump. I have on occasion found the problem in memory nearby to my crash. One time was a Firewire driver (Windows 7), and another time it pointed to my graphic card. A driver update prevented recurrences.
Tip #6:
Maybe the most important tip of all is for everybody still on XP to be planning their exit. You gave it your best. You stuck it out. You may have even gotten a lot of cool stuff done with XP! But now it's time. It's REALLY time. Windows XP is only 32 bit. More and more creative software is being designed to take advantage of massively parallel (lots of CPU cores) systems and massive memory address spaces. XP can't do these things very well. Windows 7 and Windows 8 have been designed to do these things and to support software that has been designed to take advantage of the latest hardware features.
If it has not already begun, it soon will: Some software will eventually no longer be offered in 32 bit flavor. It's time.
And finally, security updates for Windows XP are scheduled to stop in February 2014. It's TIME.
Start planning. Start working extra overtime if money is tight. Vicki needs a new CPU! Make this happen for your art and your muse, I urge you. Your muse will thank you and you'll thank me! :coolsmirk:
Mmmm copied these notes down to a word document to read over later :)
Actually like reading tech stuff like this even if I don't understand half of it xD (Maybe because my dad used to work with things like this?)
Ahh and I remember moving from my 32bit XP laptop to a 64bit Win7 one - was quite the experience :)
Mari from The Foundary is one app that's not available in 32bit at all.
loved that movie :)
dance, the bahboooshkka. :lol:
