    COMPLAINT! Computer here at work gone crashy. :shut: Backing up critical files to slow network drive is slow. :shut: May get new machine which means all next day for re-install everything. :shut:

    Non-happy camper here. :shut:

    Network drive is slow? I remember my old information systems class where Dbase for Dos ran slowly because too many students were connected to the server. I'm showing my age. :D

    Heh. The network is 100-base-t and we have about 400 folks in the plant.. and I'm tossing around 30-50GB of stuff. My USB3 drive blows our network away. :bug:

    Dbase.. lol.. wow.. feel old now.. :long:

    When I was in my dBase class in college I used FoxBase + for my homework!

    Ugh, tired.. :long:

    Defrosting freezer. Washed shirts. Cleaned bathroom. Put Odor Eaters in shoes. Put last few 4th of July supplies in fridge after shopping on the way home.Ran Lenovo Windows Repair on old laptop, fixed a nasty display bug in File Explorer. Recovered a lossless version of a song my secret project guy wants to see if he can use as a soundtrack for another visual artists work. :blank: :blank:

    Cold beer time! Chasing vodka with Modelo (evil grin) while listening to How To Destroy Angels :snake: .

    Morning. Mobs of over excited songbirds making crazy for sun and big bright blue sky that appeared today :)

    Birds are just that way.. when it's stormy here, no chirping. When the Sun comes up, I swear ten million birds appear from nowhere and tweet happily for hours. Tiny little 3 inch tall bird is LOUD! :bug:

    This one is real loud

    and is sposed to be able to chirp in sentences :lol:

    My, what a handsome bird! :cheese:

    +1 am lucky to get regular work but I think everyone is getting squeezed by the great upheaval in media companies, we all seem to be hanging on by fingernails, competition is fierce and even the big players don't seem to be competitive any more

    I know a few people in L.A. in the VFX business.. work is hard to come by, jobs pay low, clients demand AAA work for B-lot money.. and anyone with a pirated copy of Maya and Nuke is chasing the dollars. It's hard for a big shop to get enough work to pay their talent, much less hold on to them between projects. VFX is a dog-eat-dog world right now and I don't see that changing for a long time. :down: :down:

    I can get Houdini Indie and Adobe Creative Cloud and set myself up or less than $1000. Hard for a big studio to compete, even smaller shops. I can build render nodes for about $800 a node and wrangle renders myself. But I'd barely scrape by. So I stick with programming, which seems to still be a rare talent in most places.

    It blows. VFX is damned hard work. :down:

    I could actually do better as a Hollywood composer. How weird is that? :blank:

    An agancy here bundles a package of 300 national TV spots (15 seconds I guess) with creative and production thrown in for $30 K or so, don't see how anyone can profit from rates like that, would have been 150K ten years ago :lol: A sign of the times for TV hey :)

    Like you said ppl are freelancing for peanuts. But let's suppose 300 prime time ads on our three commercial TV networks and affiliates have a reach of around ten million over a few days, then the price works out at $3 a thousand, in the ballpark with internet advertising rates.

    Monday night I got a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's, and I tried something I never had there...the Baconator Fries. A dish of fries with cheese melted on it and large pieces of bacon on the cheese! It was pretty yummy.

    Am I mistaken, or haven't you been complaining about this tooth for over a week? Waiting makes it more dangerous. Go to the dentist before the infection moves into the jaw bone! >:-( Hospitals are a LOT more expensive than dentists. At least find out your options! Taking out a tooth won't be that expensive. It's the replacement that can be pricey. And you don't even want to think about jaw bone surgery. :-S Go now! Dentists can arrange payment plans.

    Now I remember my comment about Melbourne, Victoria. I was looking for a beach has a Metropolitan Tram stop. I found a beach called Saint Kilda. I saw some photos of the beach: the beach has waves. Cool.

    Most beaches have waves. Well, unless your beach is at a pond or lake. Being on the east coast, when I think beach, I think ocean. But I realized there are beaches not at the ocean, like Echo Lake in No. Conway, New Hampshire.
