I shall vent.

I am designing the new layout for v4 and Otter is giving me no feedback and it is making me angry. I also have a headache and I'm hungry.

Rant over.

I just learned how to rig my characters hands : problem bone positioning

Why isn't there a simple way to reposition bones rotation without effecting your mesh after skinning! is it that hard to make an on/off button?!?! live and you learn but man is it frustrating!

Why can all my friends take DRIVING LESSONS FIRST when i need to LEARN THE DARN THEORY FIRST?!

---

What really bothers me is "meism"

In case you don't know what meism is...

Meism is, ME first and know one else in the world matters.

For example: You're in line with ONE item at a small store that has two registers but only one is open. You are forth in line. The person at the front doesn't know how to write a check or use their card, or count count their change. So you wait and wait, finally some lazy ass employee (out of fear of a riot) decides they should open the other register because there are 20 people in line. "I can get some body over here" she says. The third person in line, the person in front of you, the person that has a cart full of s**t and probably doesn't know how to count or use a card,,,etc, damn near knocks you down to get to that other register.

I could go on and on and on with this, if you want to hear PM me

Why the hell do people ask for my opinion (or that of a co-workers), about what tech they should by, how they should do/fix something, etc, etc, and then completely ignore the advice or argue that its wrong???

Oh I'm sorry, I obviously don't know what I'm talking about, its not like I deal with these things day-in day-out, I havn't had extensive training. Your misguided completely up-yourself ideas are far superiour to what I could come up with.

WHY ASK ME IN THE FIRST PLACE MORON.

Im not sure they realise theres a logical explanation for most things do do with a computer. My mother used ot tell me not to install anything new on the computer without having a technitian do it... I might just "delete something or blow something up"

*sigh*

As it was said... family and computers should be banned.

---

lol I hear that, I was told pretty much the same thing growing up it always aggravated me to no end.

---

"I change my mind so much I can't even trust it. My mind changes me so much I can't even trust myself."

yeahhh. My personal fave was when I would get called to the computer with parental unit in a rant...

"GEE YOU HAVE CHANGED THE SETTINGS ON THE COMPUTER AGAIN!"
"ah... I havent been home since you last used it. So its not me"
"YOU HAVE. I KNOW. THE COMPUTER JUST DELETED EVERYTHING I WAS JUST TYPING. HONESTLY GEE I HAVE NO IDEA WHY YOU THINK ITS FUNNY TO CHANGE THE COMPUTER SO IT WILL DO THIS TO ME!"
"Um... mum... you hit the minimise button again..."

No jokes... I got GROUNDED as a teenager so many times because of "changing the computer" - when i hadnt done a thing.

Finally i conned my mother into doing some computer night courses... this resulted in worse...
"GEE. YOU HAVE CHANGED THE COMPUTER!"
"No i havent!"
"YES. THIS ONE IS DIFERENT TO THE ONE AT SCHOOL!"
"Ah... well yeah mum... thats because they have a diferent version of word"
"WELL WHY DID YOU PUT A DIFERENT VERSION ON OUR COMPUTER"
"Because its the version that came with out computer"
"NO ITS NOT. WE HAD THE SAME ONE AS SCHOOL! PUT THE OTHER ONE BACK ON HERE"

That arguement had me banned from my computer for a year. It was Painful. Just painnnnnful. She removed the entire pc from the house.

She still till this day will swear i used to stuff with the computer to screw with her. my teenage years would have been so much easier if mum just knew how to use a computer. I swear.

---

Gee Greenslade [Link to www.missgee.net]

lmao sorry but thats 2 funny

My parents would just freak out every time I installed a new game or program. Because when they go to unsafe sites that bring about virus's obviously all foreign programs are the same. then Kazaa came out.. whew did my parents freak when that showed up on their pc. A little knowledge of how to spot and deal with viruses can go a long way but try explaining that to someone who sees programing as 101011010.

OH and I can never forget "the all powerful Mecafe anti virus protection it's a life saver.." pretty sure it's the biggest waste o space that constantly acts like an adware program itself, atleast back in 1998 it was.

Man I second that. Basically, I'm free tech support for my whole family. They seem to think that since I can use a bunch of programs that I can fix their internet issues, get their horribly scratched cd's to read, and everything inbetween. The annoying thing is, since I assist them so often I CAN help with most of their problems... so unfortunately I have no excuses now.

Oh and my Dad gave me the task of building a program to connect to his products from the computer via a COM port... with the added pressure of him telling me if I don't have it done soon then he'll lose the major client he's producing it for, despite me telling him I most likely can't do it since I've never done it before...

Looks like im gonna be reading a fair bit. haha.

Gee Greenslade [Link to www.missgee.net]

Just like many of you, I'm a big sci-fi junkie. I read it, watch it, play it, and above all, argue about it. And the hot button with me is "language".
I live near the border of Mexico and happen to be half Mexican my self. The language barrier down here is a challenge for Spanish and non Spanish speakers. Business transactions suffer daily because many people don't understand one another. If you can speak both, then you're free to venture into areas and buy lunch with out trouble. If you can't then expect a lot of hand gestures and arm waving.
This is what I expect to happen if you go to another world with that's never seen a human before. And every time some lost civilization on some sci-fi show speaks perfect English it pisses me off. Because I was believing in the story right up until that point. Now sometimes aliens have super powers that can give them the excuse to speak English. I'm not talking about those guys.
<-me going crazy.

---

Just tell yourself that in addition to conquering 1/4 of the world, the British Empire of the 1800s also went into space and spread Queen's English and a good cup of tea to the barbaric peoples of the galaxy.

Unfortunately when they got back here they hit the whiskey too hard and the secrets of space travel were lost.

I prefer my idea

Unless of course it was time-traveling-and-space-faring-1800s-British-Gentlemen spreading the British Empire and its tea loving ways to the stars!

I believe Authur Dent time travels? Hes not from the 1800's but he knows how to make a good cup of tea.

I prefered your idea too... but star trek seems to think they can knock everyone off with time travel... and no cups of tea.

I mean HOW DAREEEE they have no cups of tea included in their time travel

---

Gee Greenslade [Link to www.missgee.net]

I've not really watched much Star Trek, but did not Picard order "Earl Grey, Hot"?

I don't think he did it specifically while time travelling though. He was too much of a frenchman for that.

Matt:
I cant beleive apple
theyre got the biggest con out
red and I were talking to some people the other day and one wanted to know the difference between PC's and macs
one of the other people piped up and said "MACS DONT GET VIRUSES!"
we both died a little inside
and then explained about most viruses target PC's because thyre more popular
was just looking at the apple site under "why you'll love a mac"
nice big heading "Doesn't get PC viruses"
""Designed with security in mind, Mac OS X isn’t plagued by constant attacks from PC viruses and malware.""
then in the FAQ ""Is a Mac safe from PC viruses?""
""Yes, a Mac is 100 percent safe from viruses designed to attack PCs.""
thats right, macs dont get PC viruses, they get MAC viruses!!!!
argh god it shits me to tears that they can perpetuate this ignorance!
sorry

God if i hear ONE more poopface talking about how MACs dont get viruses ill just break down and cry.

Admittedly they do get less than pc's do but ONLY because there arent hardly as many mac viruses.

whoever thought that making films in 3d was good idea was either a genius or a completely batshit insane madman. i'm going to say they were the latter, cause seriously with all the crap it takes to get even the simplest of animations happening. I'm talking modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting, compositing and any other processes you can think of, FUCK there has got to be a better way to do this.

ah yeah rigging has been giving me the shits. if i was better at drawing i would just go 2d

lack of sleep! i hate it so much and it happens so often. Its not that i'm out and about all night every night (only some nights) its just i can't sleep and then cannot function properly the next day. its been 24 years you'd think i would have got the hang of falling asleep already i've had plenty of practice, but no.

---

and it's a story that might bore you, but you don't have to listen, because I always knew it was going to be like that.

I find reading before bed helps. And it helps to have about an hour of no computer before bed just to realy wind down. Not that this happens all that often these days.
