But I digress– this trash was heavy, and he was kind of in my way. I weighed the thought of doing this tactfully somehow, but then I realized how absurd that was.

“Uhhh… dude?”

He lifts his head and glows at the loaded contractor bag in my hand–

–is what he says. I’m like “yeahhh, it is…” o_o

I think there was a busted up VCR in there… maybe he’ll enjoy it for lunch.

Why is it you work so peacefully one moment, then proceed to dramatically hell-spawn within practically the same moment?

With all the problems you present on a daily basis, and the bugs you refuse to resolve, I feel like I’m using an alpha release half the time.

So, I’m here converting (read: re-drawing) our CS3 character models into CS4, just to get the stage to respond without a lag time of 5+ seconds when traversing the rig hierarchy. So much for backwards-compatibility. It’ll drive the most patient animators absolutely nuts.

I had such high hopes for the Motion Editor too– way to junk it all up. I mean, you finally introduce a multi-key spanning graph editor, only to kill the Single-Frame looping method of asset interchanging unless you revert back to ‘classic’ tweens?! What’s the matter with you?

Would it also kill you to fix the years-old PNG exporting problem– the one where I’ll find half the stage/contents cut from the rest of the image on a +300dpi export?

Oh, and who gives a flying F about IK bones if it crashes the application shortly after being invoked? Every… single… time?

*sigh*

‘Course we all learn every day– I’d love to be proven wrong about some of these points.

Rant over. All better.

Yeah. This is a tribute. [ You've gotta believe me. ]
[ ♫ And I wish you were there. Just a matter of opinion... ♫ ]

Humph.

While I do enjoy the design challenges, etc. that programming a website can present, building this blog from scratch is taking waaay longer than desired.

Specifically, I have virtually no time to do it. This, coupled with a lack of any CMS whatsoever, makes posting regularly very inconvenient.

So… biting the bullet, I’ve switched over to WordPress; with the intention of reapplying the previous layout as a custom theme sooner than later.

So there. u_u

So it’s all over and done with… and so begins the acceleration of an anti-satellite missile race with Russia and China. Super!

Really… hydrazine exposure wouldn’t have been all bad. They say it dissolves hair… a perfect solution for these gentlemen.

At the very least, there needs to be a vid of the thing blowing up all Death Star-esque… otherwise the whole thing is close to pointless.

On an unrelated note, commenting now works. So have at it! Or not… unlike many things, it’s your choice. Just choose wisely…

…and not poorly.

For your consideration… the worst best damned ceremonial first post test for a web journal in the history of everything, ever.

Now to level with you… my name’s Andrew, and I’m a artist of the cartooning variety. Raised in ‘Jersey, I now find myself in Southern California, attending “doodle school”, as some say.

I’ve put this space up as an outlet for my thoughts, artwork, passions, useless web discoveries, etc.

Hope you enjoy the read.
