i just did the big update. forum, blog, warehouse, guestbook, members, my models...What am i saying...You should check it out yourself.

Dont bother about the wiki. I finaly have a site that is easy to navigate. olliewollie.webs.com Have a look (olliewollie)=My Nickname. I may use this site in the future for other things.

I've posted about our app before, but if you want to see the Monopoly Competition buildings that are in Google Earth (KMZ) format on your iPhone, you can do so with NaviCAD (http://www.navicad.com). Just type in "monopolycompetition09" in the search interface and tap a result. The competition models look very good in NaviCAD. Note that NaviCAD is only a viewing/navigating app. Any suggestions are welcome--send an email to feedback@navicad.com. thanks, Chuck (one of the NaviCAD developers)

@pixero said: I was thinking in the same lines. But still...it's not like Google will just make the most popular of the suggested ideas, right? Not at all. They are interested in opinions, but Google has their own agenda for SketchUp, too.

Now I know why you call yourself 'EarthMover'

After the last elections where the vote was clearly stolen by means of corruption, cheating and widespread intimidation I guess most compassionate people world wide would really like to see something happen, however sanctions will only hurt the innocent folks who are trapped in this predicament. I know a little about sanctions as growing up in South Africa I lived through many years of it, the fat cats were not affected, small business and consumers were. As far as Israel goes, I must admit that I'm very surprised at the US media for not exposing the 455 new Jewish settlements that has been authorised in the beginning of the month which clearly goes against a UN resolution to halt new settlements on disputed and Palestinian lands. I know it's all politics and such a story will always be hushed here in the states as big business and media have agendas unknown to myself. I am not taking sides in this dispute as I have many great Iranian and Jewish friends that have expressed the real day to day face of this struggle, be it land and security in Israel or be it control, corruption and isolationism in Iran, I would just like to see the facts and the truths be broadcast evenly and without bias, and not opinion. Too bad Michael Jackson crap inspires the US markets more than real world affairs.

Dracula as I have never seen him. Funny. P.S. That fungus head character is cool!

Meh! Not a patch on this version. [flash=425,344:340au8ra]http://www.youtube.com/v/fvrFcpeZQ2g&hl=en&fs=1&[/flash:340au8ra]

Great Dylan! I was going to hang around till fairly late in the evening before taking the train back to London, so the evening is a possibility too!

If you're that worried, just ask your boss if you could work at home.

Great find. Thanks!

Be careful with this kind of stuff - remember that a lot of frauds happened from this countries! I had a bunch of a similar e-mails!

@dave r said: Cool. I've wondered that, too. I also wonder how they get them down when the tower goes up inside the building. taller crane or helicopter

OK, it seems one issue has been solved. The other one - sketchupbbs - is still waiting for resolution and since the concerned party has done nothing but closed his site/forum from collecting evidence of his piracy so far, he has been permanently banned for the time being (further steps are now carried out by other concerned, 3rd parties). At the same time, I am closing this topic and let it sink. Please, someone post a funny pic here to start sinking it.

I am currently using the free version of Yousendit.com to transfer file up to 100 Mb.(Box.net is another good alternative). Does Yahoo has advantages over the others?

@pbacot said: No fashion maven myself, heaven knows, but Michelle sure seems to be stepping out on a limb with outfits like that. LMAO. A very intelligent and independent woman, and yet we criticize her fashion.

Interesting. The reviewer seems intent on using it as a way to operate a computer as one would an iPhone instead of using it was a drawing surface. Can it be drawn with? A quick web search reveals a completely different looking Bamboo Touch (artists concept?) that has a pen and looks more like a drawing tablet. EDIT: Nevermind. There is a "Bamboo Tablet" for $79 that is meant for drawing, the "touch" is something different.

thanks for the welcome back guys! such fast responses as per usual, i love this place. had a wizz through some of those new ruby's, that bendy one looks amazing! cheers for the link gaieus, that was the page i was looking for, it's slightly easier to navigate than the list on the home page. i better get modelling! pav ps. pete, of course you can call me luci, not so sure on the lucy though stinkie!

Mate glad to hear you don't normally use such effects! I know exactly what you mean about noisy renders being a Maxwell user (bring on V2!), to denoise I normally use the denoise PS filter and then sharpen. Seems to do a fairly good job! Mate your plants are always great! Did I say bastard?
