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?

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?

I've always thought the computer should do something like this. strengthening the sketch as you develop the strokes by iteration. I know it's easy to say NOW. But it's something I wanted to see attempted. Looks great, and fun.

There must be something in it. Last night I was having a sort of "after birthday party" with a couple of friends and we decided to take a shot (we have 5 cl shot glasses here for "normal" size). Anyway, the idea of this little tutorial came to my mind while we were enjoying ourselves. Fortunately it works so I might get back there more often (also, it's quite economical because though it's not the cheapest drink you can find, it has 80% alcohol content)

I think it indicates when an ad is going to pop up.

I agree Jesper, its great to see you back around here. I still have you in Skype or MSN or something and I see you online from time to time. I figured you had just parted ways with SU. Great of you to come on by! Chris

I use Firefox and I run CCleaner each morning, which deletes your internet history and other crap. http://www.ccleaner.com/

I found a better way for screen catching. Here some more better animations (all in real-time). [image: dwie_animation.gif] [image: NFni_animation2.gif]

Hello again, Thanks for the positive reviews. Please, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at gidion311@gmail.com Hello Alan, First, thank you for all the models on FormFonts. Modeling would not be the same without what is offered on FormFonts. I do have some model requests but maybe that’s for another time. Also, thank you for the heads up on the people components. I have not updated those components in about 5 years or so Might be time to do so now. Thanks all, Daniel Tal

Think it'll get an Energy Star rating?

@tomsdesk said: (not a big deal at all BTW) Yeah, I guessed so and you have enough forum and browsing experience to workaround it but if you guys imagined how many emails I get via that link a day - about SU problems and such! Some people think that's the post button - so better this way.

Yes, I think on PPB there are (more) ads displayed to "Guests" (not logged in). Maybe an effective way to "encourage" logins, too. Google never reveals which click and which ad pays how much however so it's a bit like lottery, too.
