Time Constraints

This is mostly a quick note for people I'm friends with at DeviantArt. I have very little computer time and have been having trouble with DA. For two days, I couldn't even get logged in. I got logged in this morning, but once i do, it slows down to a very, very painfully slow crawl. I just don't have time to catch up over there for the next few days at that pace. I'm not ignoring anyone. I don't want any hurt feelings. ;) I should have some time mid-to-late next week.

Runtime Reconstruction... .excruciating .EXEs

Ugh. For those of you that don't know, the home of my runtimes (an external drive) let this world earlier this month. Luckily, with some exceptions, I had backed up most of them a few weeks before. We had a hitch with the replacement drive and had to get another one. I'm finally back on the road to reconstruction.

One of the major exceptions to the fairly recent backup was my V4 and related stuff. I had given up on using V4 due to some problems with using her on our household's old computer. We got a new system during the last quarter of last year. Thanks to Ann from ART-Collab, I decided to give V4 another shot on the new system. She and Fisty patiently and graciously helped me though some of the changed technical stuff. However, I never did reinstall quite a bit of the older stuff that I had for her because it seemed like a lot of work to go to if I wasn't going to end up using V4 for the long-haul. I decided to start on small scale. Since I had to do some reconstruction, I thought I might as well install all that stuff and some of the bundles for V4 & M4 late last year. I figured better to do the least pleasing job first. I spent most of the day running the installers and it brought one thing very sorely home. I H-A-T-E Daz's bloody .EXE installers. Almost always have, but now I definitely do with a passion. Running more than three to four makes me nuts. I wanted to hang myself very quickly. Never again! Fortunately, I think I have the bulk of the stupid things installed now.

I have some more minor installing with blessed, sweet .ZIP files to do. And that's it. I should be back in business. I think I might take a breather for a couple of days and have mental health vacation after all those .EXE. After the .EXE files, a few weeks' worth of .ZIP installs sounds like a breeze. I should be in the home-stretch soon. If all goes well, I'll be back composing and rendering scenes in Poser sooner than Daz s**n.

Blog Images Fixed & Finally Joined DA...

Hello!

Wow, why is it life always gets really insane when you're in no mood for it. I want so badly to be creating new stuff in Poser and PSP and that blasted thing called "real life" has to go get in the way... *sigh*

Anyhow... The images for this blog are fixed, thanks to my benefactor, Salashin. There was a behind the scenes issue that's fixed now. I just happened to come by and notice the images weren't working. :(

Can you believe I finally took the plunge and joined Deviant Art after all these years of resisting...? Well, what can I say...? I really needed another subscription like I need a whole in the head... But maybe I'll find something inspiring there. I know I occasionally see tutorials and stuff there that look interesting.... Time will tell, I feel like a total newbie and idiot over there right now...

Some time in the next week or so, I hope to make an entry in the "My Favorite Poser Purchases series that I started. I also have another series of posts in mind. So keep checking back...
