$#@&%! my earworm has returned... arghhh
wantz mead
lol misread Stellan Lounge as Stallion Lounge
was woohooing and wooting before i realized my error
sometimes i think i'se a gay man trapped in the body of a woman.
gettin all worked up to woohooing and wooting for silliness daz contents
sometimes i think i'm a straight woman trapped in the body of a gay woman considering my obsession of finding the perfect male daz model.
what is awkward is how much my gf gets into helping me find him. as she put it: we are in a search for mr right-now.
that sent us laughing for a quite a while.
lol
No frustrations here. Non-complaintus: A couple weeks ago I started joining the 21st century and finally upgraded to a proper modern computer. My old computers were at minimum 9 years old and some of them over 15. But now I've sacrificed and gutted one HP desktop of 2008 era and filled it with modern 'lectronics and it runs wonderfully and even is capable of tolerable performance with DAZ IRay rendering despite not having a dedicated graphics card (yet). Then this last week I turned my attention to my old laptop. It's a quality HP with a good display, 4GB memory, a Pentium dual processor CPU that I use only when performing housecalls for customers or when I'm travelling on long adventures. A year or so ago I upgraded it to use Win10 instead of the Win7 that came with it. But it became annoyingly slow.
Hearing all the wonderful buzz about SSD storage drives I decided to see if it would help so I bought a Crucial 1TB MX500 SSD. It came this morning. And tonight I'm happy, happy, happy with the zip that has been injected into this old laptop.
It behaves like a real machine now.
So hopefully, it will continue to serve me, when needed, for another 4 or 5 years. And the best part is that I'd always thought that it had a 1TB drive running at 5400-RPM (I had that written in my notes somewhere and I never double checked) but once I had it in my hand it was actually a 500GB 7200-RPM drive but the substitution of the SSD makes it so much faster even than the 7200 speed. So, I not only made it run faster but doubled the storage as well. Yay! 
I was very pleased to see that Crucial provides easy to understand instructions and a free copy of Acronis software to perform the disk cloning operation. The hardest part of the process was trying not to strip the head-slots of the tiny screws holding the drive in its carrier frame.
Now I am almost fully 21st centuryized. I have a smart phone, I have a modern desktop and I have a zippy laptop.
congrates on the SSD... they know what causes that.
...nice, I thought of doing that to my old 13 year old duo core Toshiba notebook but that is still running XP Pro so going online is a no-no. Plus there is the fact I need to use a wireless keyboard with it as all the heat from rendering that I did over the years killed a number of the key switches in the upper part of the keyboard.
I just spent the better part of an hour applying and reapplying skins to my character because one of the earlier test renders looked better than anything else I had tried, and I wanted to go back to it. No, I did not work out what skin it was. Instead, I crashed DAZ Studio. So I restarted it and loaded my last save ..... and there was the #$%^ skin I had been looking for, already applied!
Isn't that the case that the thing you're looking for is always in the last place you look?
Now, if we could just train ourselves to look there first.
noticd this morning not as hard to stand up did it without the melodrama, groaning, and noisy creaking of joints
need some fresh exer bike tunes to peddle to
uh oh ended sentence with a preposition.
like Ronnie said, uh oh oh oooohhh
lost where i stashed my archive of choh's art nuveau dresses
want to try it with carrara soft body
it's murphy's fault
could prolly render this using a light gel
My editor sent me an email asking me why I haven't finished the story she edited 2 months ago. Oops. Apparently my couple days off turned into a couple months...
The world has evolved, preposition ending sentences are no longer taboo. Yay for progress.
Complaint: I've been taking my newly reinvigorated laptop out for a ride. Frisky little filly it is now. Yay!
HOWEVER..., as recommended by Crucial (manufacturer of my new SSD) I have installed their "Storage Executive" to monitor the health of their device. That part works well. Status is AOK. Also included in the Storage Executive app is a sub-app called the "Momentum Cache", that supposedly does good things for SSDs by cacheing small writes into big writes to avoid numerous small writes. This helps avoid excessive erases that wear out the SSD quicker. Good plan.
Unfortunately, when I try to enable the Momentum Cache it goes into perpetual "Processing" mode and never finishes and reboots my computer like it promised to. (notice the preposition ending sentence-- completely legal
) So, I initiated a "Chat" with the Crucial help desk and was advised that it should work with my Intel Pentium dual-core CPU (it doesn't work with AMD CPUs) but that I should update my chipset drivers, change my boot priority to SSD and keep the BIOS in AHCI mode (whatever that means). (Sigh!) More research, more work.
Not quite so complaintous: After some research and work I have, I believe, done everything I think I can to resolve the problem identified in my previous post, but without success. Enabling the "Momentum Cache" still goes into perpetual "Processing" mode and never reboots as promised.
However, I have noticed, among the numerous manual reboots that I have performed during this experience, that the dialog once reported that the Momentum Cache was disabled yet still gave me an option to "Disable" it. This leads me to believe that it had been at least partially enabled but that one of the safeguards against using too much RAM for the cache had kicked in. I only have 4GB RAM in the laptop and there is a threshold of 1GB remaining for not permitting disk cacheing in RAM. So, maybe I'm just spinning my wheels here (as evidenced by the spinning gear icon that the app persists in displaying).
HOWEVER, all is not lost.
More research reveals that the Crucial MX500 SSD (like others of this generation, i.e. Samsung 860 SSD) has sophisticated processing and high speed DRAM cacheing functions within the SSD itself before feeding it to the slower NAND memory cells . So, for now, I conclude that I will not pursue use of the Momentum Cache and will just trust that the SSD itself has my best interests at heart.
I'm quite happy with the speed improvement the device is giving me already. I don't want to turn into a digital gearhead.
Edited to add:
It should be noted that use of the Momentum Cache has an inherent risk associated with loss of power while data intended to be written to the SSD is still in the cache in RAM. Crucial warns several times that use of battery backup is greatly encouraged.
Good thing to know. 
day job makin me watch ethics training
dunno how it relates but they showing an example of cobra farms in India
it was 1800s there were a lot of cobras in the city. so govt issued a bounty for every dead cobra the people handed in. so some enterprising lot started cobra farms, to cash in. so the govt stopped the bounty thing, the cobra farms closed, basically setting them loose. there were more cobras in the city than ever before.
i think the moral was a bad executive decision can have un anticipated consequences.
i know is wrong to laugh. it was the graphics showing the cobra population made it funnier than it should be
non complaint
gosh she's pretty https://www.daz3d.com/layla-for-genesis-3-8-female
sometimes i feel lonely supporting 'where possible' supporting g8 in carrara.
as long as it doesn't have rigid bits,
is pretty easy to make a blended weight version of an outfit.
or save a daz default shader for anything.
i'm at my day job, cant install ds to whip out a blended weight version.
can't play with the outfit til i get home. what fun is that? not supposed to has fun at work?
at work one is supposed to be working.
forgive me daz for i have sinned... i've only completed one (mediocre) render today. but i am trying to render a scene that is making my computer grouchy.
I think that it's rather that nobody cares anymore! I don't think the rules have changed. It's just, nobody seems to care about the rules anymore.

Does this have something to do with that grammar thing I keep hearing about?
my pc+ expired. but i did the 7.95 store credit recur thing the day before fee was due
shouldnt complain tho
pineapple juice and malibu will make all better
remembers latin class, they conjugate everything, even the prepositions, dunno if counts anymore since they seem to be gone
death of a language always a sad thing
imagining what languages would survive a post alpacalypse era
I'm not sure, but I do know that my grammer was a stickler for good writing and she was always chiding me about it.
Prepositions don't conjugate, and actually "conjugate" wouldn't even be the proper word for it if they did. Verbs conjugate, while nouns decline.
