3D Artists Reporting Back

[spacekdet]

If you are running your own site why not just serve them up from there?
The only real advantages to a streaming site ala' YT or vimeo seem to be easy access to stats (mine are pathetic), viewer feedback (I never get any there), and instant streaming instead of download / then play.
Come to think of it, why am I on vimeo again? I guess 1 out of 3 aint bad.

Reporting back, had a very nice skate session yesterday afternoon. A brief warmup/rain/refreeze cycle over last weekend Zambonied the surface yet again and left it buttery smooth. It was more like skiing or what I imagine rollerblading is like rather than like skating- didn't need to even lift the blades off the surface. Bluebird skies and a mild 41*F / 5*C didn't hurt either.
Forgot camera and GPS in haste to get out there but took a snap with the phone:

I connected an old hard drive to wipe it ("Like with a cloth or something?") before discarding. Forty-eight pin ribbon cable, jumper, old. Friend had a converter to sata to hook it up. The computer did not like that. I had to refresh the OS where it kept my files but now I'm reinstalling the programs. Also setting up automatic restore points and backups.

@Spacekdet: I have one YT subscriber! Must be automatically subscribed to your own channel. Self hosting is a possibility for small videos. I've been thinking ... I don't like evil google and others like them. However, me not using them does no harm to them. Using them gives me the benefits of the services and does no practical harm to me. Guerilla warfare, use the enemy's resources to your benefit, is more effective than a principled stand.

Ahdamn. I hope you didn't loose any of your work with the experimentation. I'm going to reinstall my system soon with an ssd drive.

I didn't lose my stuff like business files and CG projects but the OS itself was set back to the start. So all my programs were gone. Re-installing Quickbooks is trouble so far. First it wanted updates for Windows. All were undone by the refresh. Fun, lots of fun. Seven and one half hours, 207 updates later and Quickbooks needs its own update which it won't download because the old version is not supported. Getting a manual update file now ... Really windy today so no outside work anyway.

Dropping by. Getting older than dirt. Got married. Tired. Need a Vacation :

[Finis]

James is here! Hi James!

[Draise]

You what? ! Got married? !?!?!!! Big news! It's that why you are tired?

[Steinie]

THAT explains why we couldn't reach you! JamesMc please update your email address here, it no longer works. (I tried)
Are you dropping by or stopping by? We want you back buddy!

Best of luck with the marriage!

p.s. Next time you run for office wear a wig like Trump, you might get better results! (or a dozen free eggs...)

[jamesmc]

Will drop in an participate from time to time, my time is not really my time anymore (cough).

My bride Jenna on our wedding day. I don't know who the other guy is in the photo.

Congratulations y'all!
