    Computers are evil, evil creatures!

    Why is it that the tighter the deadline the more likely it is that your computers will crash or just generally find a way to make you lose your mind?!!!




    I have 12 renders to do by June 3rd at the very latest and my wonderfull computers are having "that time of the month".

    Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can
    `nee' at will to old ladies.There is a pestilence upon this land,
    nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies
    are under considerable economic stress at this period in history.

    Re: Computers are evil, evil creatures!

    Murphy's law I believe! LOL Hey if they are in Max 2008 or older I can render them out on my farm if you get into a bind. I don't have FinalRender or Brazil (YET) so if you are using those render engines, I can't help you.

    Well, you have to treat them gently and please them every once in a while...
    If that does not work, try scarring them by turning to some new computer...

    I have to ask, how do you "PLEASE" a computer? You need to spend some time with your wife! LOL Kidding my friend, your second suggestion is good, I keep a Dell catalog open on my computer desk at all times, right there were my computers can see it!

    Re: Computers are evil, evil creatures!

    I'm still using Lightscape...which is normally very stable. Its not that big a problem...nothing that 4k and a trip to the computer store can't fix.

    ....or a big f'ing hammer!

    Oh yeah, didn't you get rich doing a Herman Miller catalog! LOL Hey you could just order a quad core or two MB cpu combo from someone like Tiger Direct for $400 a peice, and you may need RAM depending on what you have now for a quick and cheap fix

    I like the hammer option better.

You can :
  1. Send chats : you just have to enter the text in the dedicated input field and then to validate it by pushing the return key ou by clicking on the OK button.
  2. Format the chats :
  3. once you un-collapse the chatbox formatting toolbar by clicking on the BBCode button, you have access to different formatting options for your chats. You can format a chat by selecting a part (or the totality) of it and then select one of the buttons/list. You can also add empty formatting tags by selecting nothing and clicking one of the buttons/menu thus allowing you to add the chat text afterwards between these tags.*
  4. Access to the different channels : you can have access to different channels restricted to only some usergroupds or for specifics use of the chatbox. The different channels are accessible from the buttons on the left of the chatbox.*
  5. Edit your chats (or others chats) : the edition of a chat can be done by a simple double-click on it.*
  6. Use specific commands : some commands can be accessible in the chatbox depending on the will of the administrator(s) of your forum. These commands let you execute specific actions of formatting, management, etc... You will herebelow the information on the command which are accessible to you. You must notice that you are not forced to use the command prefixes (/command_name) when you use them in the channel they are attached to (except in the general channel).*
* : Depending on the settings chosen by the administrator(s) of the forum, you might not have access to all these features.
