I'm only looking at static blinds for now. I was thinking of attempting to add just a single cord to it, not sure if I should attempt it. As to the programme you mentioned no I don not have that

For me it's both. I used to almost always have a plan but later I got better at plugging things in at random. Sometimes, on my way to making something else, I would notice and effect I liked and start in a new direction. Lately I have not had time to ff so I have done neither - mostly just tinker with old ideas.

I think you can do it.

That's messed up.
Maybe you should take a look at Microsoft's 'Windows Installer CleanUp Utility' called 'msicuu2.exe'. It is used to remove unwanted programs from Windows that will not otherwise uninstall. There is a link provided in the article to download it.

That's pretty crazy.

----Gotta pre-make a folder for any app yer about to install, that usually helps avoid those kinds of blackhole uninstalls. That and never trust the programs uninstaller, use the Windows one, it leaves sh*t, but it's safer overall. Hope you were able to fix things, and if nothing else, leave it installed, and ignore it.

jffe

lady fayre, what was the program you were trying to uninstall?

i assume you mean cam = camera and not cam = cam/cad. you might also take a look at a couple programs i've used or heard about that have good results. Norton's Clean Sweep is supposed to be good and one of my favorites is 'Total Uninstall' (TU). this last one is quite clever. you run it and then you use TU to install your program. it keeps track of EVERY API action your installed program used to install itself. in other words, it tracks and logs everything your program installer does. if it sticks something in the registry, then TU keeps track of it. if it hides something in documents and settings, TU logs it. nothing can be installed that TU doesnt see and log. when it comes time to get rid of the program, TU does all the work because it knows where everything is. it's a very handy program.

This is what it looks like at moment [ totally unfinished ]

I didn't realise my filter update for 'Folds of Material' would turn out that bad I'm a little bit miffed at the moment with it. It hasn't the same effect as the original so I might change it back, but don't know

Carl you broke the quote thing again.

HeHe

Good idea but be sure to drain the water before you return it. Most of those Harleys do not have windshields so you will want to clean the fish out of your teeth or they will suspect something.

I have always wanted to go but now I want to go to Three Gorges.

StevieJ wrote: It looks like that big dam project in China

That's the one. Maybe the largest public works project in the history of man. It sure did displace a lot of people and reek havoc on the environment but it is cleaner than burning coal. It's not really on my top fifty but I would like to see it. What I would really like to see are places like the Seychelles, Galapagos, New Zealand, Yellowstone, Easter Island etc. At the bottom of the list would be places like Las Vegas and Disney World. What I would really like to do is walk across one of those rope bridges in the mountains of Peru.

And, of course, Ireland - we can't forget about that.

After we pick up Carl we can head for New Zealand.

I walked across this bridge when I was a little kid. It scared the holy crap out of me. It was made of lumber with large gaps between each slat - I could see right down to the bottom. Honest to god I thought I was going to fall through those gaps. When I got out to about the center, here comes this nut in a car that starts shaking it. I had no idea they allowed cars! I was certain we would all die.

Yikes!!! I think that would freak anyone out!!!

Carl wrote: the antartic

I want to go but in a warm transparent flying bubble with a comfy chair. I don't know if it's true in the antarctic but in the arctic there is life underneath the ice. Ice forms like lightning bolts capturing fish when it strikes.

LOL. I have never tried it but I hear that snow and ice is very difficult to photograph.

Carl wrote: Those tornados weren't near you

Not me. I hope Craig is ok. One of the nice things about where I live is that we have some incredible thunderstorms.
This is one of the windiest places in the States. There is a wind farm nearby and several more going up. I love the wind because it keeps the gnats (they bite) and mosquitoes at bay.

That's a terrible image to grow up with.

Check out my first youtube video. I have never posted a video before so someone let me know if it's viewable. This is my first attempt at animation so it's really funny looking.

I have always wanted a fish tank. I would need a full time biologist to care for it though.
