WAH! :(

I was gonna say 'OOOOH! I want some of these!' when I read the text, 'Mighty Mouse Panties'

But...

They have a stupid hiphop catch phrase on them. Why couldn't they just be Mighty? Why do we have to ruin stuff with stupid obnoxious text?

You can figure out what those letters mean for yourself. Basically the gist of it is 'I LOATHE 3D ANIMATION PROGRAMS.'

So... I set my computer to rendering last night and off it went. 860 frames and I was so excited to see what the result looked like today because I'd gone gaga on the lighting and did soft focus spots and a lot of other stuff that took a long darn time to render.

I got... 860 frames of carpet, a couch, and two potted ferns. It hadn't rendered the wrong viewport. So I tried it again, making sure I selected the proper viewport and that was the one set in my rendering, and again it began rendering the wrong viewport (though this time I checked it after 1 frame was complete rather than waiting 16 hours)

So I exited out of Maya and came back in and tried it again and it... STILL RENDERED THE WRONG DARNED VIEWPORT!

So I read the docs!

Guess what! You have to select the default Perspective camera and uncheck 'Renderable' and then go to your camera and check 'Renderable' OR IT WILL ALWAYS BATCH RENDER THE WRONG F***ING CAMERA. Apparently you have to go in and keyframe render checking to render all shots in a sequuence in a single batch and the default is to render the entire range for the first camera, then the second, then the third, etc.

Stupid stuff like this and exploding models is why I so greatly prefer pencil and paper. Paper never accidently renders from the wrong perspective and pencils seldom explode.

Gee! That's brilliant!

This stupid MP3 player Stacey got me has some WONDERFUL FEATURES!

Like you can't listen to a file on it via your PC when it's connected via USB and you can't listen to the file on the MP3 player when it's connected to your PC either. So... I make a lot of voice recordings as personal notes. Soo... I transferred the file from the MP3 player to my computer at work. It creates REC files when it does the recording and converts them to MP3 files when you transfer them. Since I was at work, I labeled them and put them back on the MP3 player. BIG FUCKING MISTAKE!!!

It turns out that you can't download MP3s off the player to your computer because THAT MIGHT VIOLATE A COPYRIGHT!


GOSH! We couldn't just LOOK FOR THE WATERMARK in the MP3 and copyprotect only files that are supposed to be copy protected. NOOOOOOOOOOOO! We have to fuck up my personal files!

What's more, it looks like some of the .REC files won't even transfer to my computer properly, they seem to cause the software to hang.

YAY TECHNOLOGY!

Ha ha!

So I got to thinking... If the 'security' is that stupid, maybe it's REALLY that stupid. I tried just renaming the file from .MP3 to .WAV and it downloaded! Then I named it back and it worked fine! Mwahahaha!

Then I went hunting and found that the Nordic iRiver site had a 1.1.8 version of the Mac OS music manager (the US one is 1.1.3) So I downloaded it and the files no longer corrupt! Haha! Who cares if it's in Norweigan? It's a drag and drop interface and I can get my files. Hurrah!

Yay! I'm now all backed up and organized!

Also, here's a 400K of Jon and Peggy talking about Hyena groins. o_O

And now I'm enjoying a piece of audio I found on my MP3 player which I have titled, "7 hours in my coat pocket.' It's a recording of.... 7 hours in my coat pocket. Kinda weird listening to audio where no one knew they were being recorded including the recorder. ^_^ I"m also rather impressed how much audio this little thing can store with such nice quality.
