Reading: Digital Modeling

I am currently reading a book recommended by Johnathan Williamson titled “Digital Modeling” by William Vaughn. At times it has been hard for me to understand some concepts such as proper edge flow thru your model while reading and not able to actually do what is being described to you. This time, rotating an edge to change the direction of a loop seemed so simple when I actually was able to try it, look at what was happening and understand. Made so much more sence when actually doing it.

It seems so simple now that I have done it rather than just read about it. The concept seems so simple now :).

Rain and Leaks

Planning to going in to work on Sunday morning and then the lord changed my plans. Stormed like the dickens Saturday afternoon and into the evening with my bedroom window letting the rain leak in like it was not there. I spent the day Sunday and Monday sopping up water from the carpet with heater blowing trying to dry them out. Still damp this morning and hoping for them to be dry when I get home. Crossing fingers this was just an anomaly and it doesn’t happen again because we could not figure out where the water was coming from.

Please let it be just a fluke…..

Lazy weekend

I was a lazy butt this weekend and just relaxed after the move last weekend and a hectic week. Ordered a pizza like I normally do on Sunday and it was great! I ordered it from Andolini’s which I have been wanting to do but did not realize how freaking big their pies are. 20″ is huge and I will not be doing that again.

Found the Mice

Just a quick post before my work begins today and again with Blender on Friday. I found my mice! I knew I had packed them, they were in a pocket of one of my many suitcases, a pocket I had not looked in :). Happy Days are back tomorrow with Blender.

When I get home today I will set up my AppleTV. I downloaded a couple of Brad Meltzers Decoded and the movie Avengers last night and would like to watch them on the big screen. I will not be able to watch all of them because bedtime will come upon me quickly so I will start with the Statue of Liberty  episode of Decoded. I started watching on regular television when bedtime approached so I bought it on iTunes along with The Avengers and downloaded while I slept. It will be a good movie weekend

Second Computer Set Up

I set up my second computer, the Apple MacBook Pro 17″ this morning and everything is working well. I have ran into one problem and this seems to be a repetitive problem, I can’t find my mouse and memory stick for my primary computer and I am sure I transported them with me to the new place. I guess I will have a hunting expedition within my new place till I find them or purchase new some time in the next week or so.

I am really missing Blender and Camtasia right now but I will win this battle and keep the computers off the internet until Friday.

Really, I will :).

Setting up the appartment

I got up early this morning and set my primary computer and could not find my mouse, not a problem though because I don’t plan on using the computer till the weekend. I did not want to wait until Friday to set everything up. Everything seems nice there, quiet with some noise during the night. I hear little feet running around at 9 or 10 at night when I have already been in bed for a few hours but the head phones take care of that.

Computer Free Weekend

I spent the weekend moving to a new place and I love it. Quiet, less people around, less traffic just an all around better place. To top everything off I spent the entire weekend computer free. After I had packed everything up I decided I would not set it all back up again until this weekend. Yes I will go crazy not working on my Blender projects until Friday but lets just see how it goes.

Started Packing

I started packing away all my computers and game consoles last night and will finish up tonight. I should be able to have everything just about ready to go by tonight or maybe Thursday evening with the exception of things I want to take but have nowhere to pack them such as the dishes and utensils they gave me here at the hotel. I should be able to find a box or something by the time I move on Friday or Saturday.
