    In my lab we would get VIP visitors once in a while and I got a chance to show off my babies.   I kept hoping that someone would ask, "What's it all for?"  I had a canned answer but I never dared use it.  I would love to have said: "What's it all for?  Uh, sometimes the gauges register a little when the buck deer fight in the Autumn, or the birds fly over in the spring.  And nearly a whole dial became active when your ship approached from deep space".devil

    ...nice.

    re: Blinken-Lights.. Here's the operating end of a S/360 - the lights were register value lamps.. Am experienced operator cpould tell what progress a running program had made by observing them.. (although it must  be admnitted, that was a hard trick to learn..)  An S/360 was the second system I was allowed to run, after a 1401 - them moved up to a 7080...

    So my daughter's high school is having a "Dress Up For A Holiday" thing, and one of them dressed up in an Indian (Asian India) outfit for the Indian/Hindu holiday of Diwali... (not out of the blue, my wife is Hindu and Indian)... So I just got a text from my daughter that I think is like a text that sums up the absurdity of 2020-2021 perfectly...

    "y’all thought I was gonna look out of place but I just watched Jesus shake hands with a gigantic taco in a sombrero right before the Easter bunny walked in"

    I think I'm getting that printed on a coffee mug or something.

    yes  That would have made quite the photograph!

    Yeah, I had nothing to compare with that.  At least not on my computers.  All Raytheon gave us for lights were 16 for the address and 16 for the value, and some miscellaneous status lights.  If we wanted to see other registers we had to twist a dial.  I'm sure, there was a way to go into single step mode.  I used it often during reading of core dumps, and tracing out miscreant behavior.

    Oh, and those square buttons on the IBM/360 panel are what I was describing earlier.  Nice, complex, configurable, multi-color-lighted, expensive buttons.  NASA equipment was loaded with them.  I wish I'd let a few of them fall into my briefcase.  Although, I think the IBM buttons were simplified versions.

    Here's a video about the features of the switches, 

     

    Here's a video about using the switches.  It's from one of my favorite YouTubers "CuriousMark"

    I've had a scene preparing to render for over 50 minutes without a single iteration yet.

     It's toast, kill the process and reload. Might just reboot while at it.

    When you reload the scene, check if any of your characters with geographs are set to subd4 or greater, reduce it to 3 and see if renders.

    I actually had one turned up to 5, because the scars on her face were looking a little jagged. I also had CPU fallback disabled, so after reducing the subD level, I still had to close DS and reopen, and the scene takes several minutes to load. To make matters worse, this is all just for a test render, because I'm not done posing all the characters yet, and may add one more.

    I just mentioned that because I too have had the exact same issue when a geograph and subd didn't play well together. Only setting the Subd to3 or lower or removing the geograph fixed the issue for me.

    My wife and I are on the opposite sides of the sub/dub divide. I, of course, correctly prefer to watch things in their original language. We just finished a French tv show called Marianne, and I suffered through the awful English dub of it, when we discovered that Cowboy Bebop (one of my wife's favorite anime) was now on Netflix. It started in Japanese, but she asked if we could switch to English, which I agreed to with palpable disdain in my voice. She said that the voice acting in it was really good, and three episodes in, I can state that that was a damned lie, if not an outright statistic.

    i thought I have some Indian, Latin American or Spanish characters in my Daz 3D library?  Maybe I should look at my product library on Renderosity.  Hmm.

    edit: I found Uma for Genesis 8.1 Female in the Daz product library.

    Major Complaint: The external hard drive that had nearly all my installed DAZ Studio content failed. Now I will have to get a new hard drive and then reinstall all my content (some 2400 items) before I can use DS. Not a small task.

    ...ugh, been there before.  Also lost all my saved scenes as well as I have a small boot drive (purposely) so they were on the library drive as well.  This happened a little over 2 years or so years ago, and I'm still recovering/recreating original characters..

  • starionwolfstarionwolf Posts: 3,670

    i need to reinstall around 50 pages of products after I buy my new har drive.

    Non-complaint: Whew!  I guess I lucked out, at least to a certain extent. It turns out that the failed hard drive had a backup copy of my primary DS content directory and not the primary directory that DS uses. So I will still have to get have to  get a new external drive and then backup the directory to it; but at least I am still in business and can use DS. I also lost all the DIM downloads I had stored.

    Glad it worked out :). I try and keep my stuff not only on a mirror raid but dropbox as well.
