Carl's Corner :)

it's over LOL still raining which is good - its a mix of connections - I'm on broadband but what I understand there is a lot faster ones in the world than ours

Of course this is a static image but I designed them so that the mouse cursor acted like a light source and the highligts would change with a mouseover.

pity I can't see them in action they sound good - do you have to sacrifice a lot with them, is there no way round it

Maybe you can get some training DVDs. I'm self taught too so I know exactly what you mean - it's very difficult.

Biggelow was very interesting are there any more that you know of around - I should do a search for photoshop and website design

Carl wrote: Biggelow was very interesting

You know, I emailed him once to thank him for making all that information available. It took him a while to reply and it was because he was going through a serious illness with a family member. He seemed very nice.

Ok. Going to finish my gun.

Final mesh

Now for the Lamborghini!

I feel like crying because there is no telling when I will get to see either one.

Bummer Ron. Think a friend I know in America gets a friend in the UK to copy them for him so he's only a week behind.

It's all right. I know they are not going anywhere - although I think Carl mentioned someone actually taping over some of the originals, but that seems inconceivable. I look forward to the day I can buy them all on DVD and watch them.

I have been trying to get a better understanding of how the web design software category is broken down generally and specifically where Adobe's product offerings fit. I was reading in this article here (and here) what is used to create a website that allows for things like blogs, scheduling, shopping etc. and about the software required. Here is the list of software they used and what it does. Can you tell from this list where Golive fits? Does Golive do all of these things?

# Drupal: An open source content management system.

# MySQL: An open source database store.

# PHP: A Web-based language for supporting dynamic content.

# PHPMyAdmin: A PHP tool intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web.

# MySQL Query Browser: A graphical client to work with your MySQL databases and run queries.

# MySQL Administrator: A GUI to administer your MySQL Server.

# Apache: An open source Web server.

# Eclipse: An open source development environment.

# CVS: A source code management system integrated into Eclipse to track code changes.

are you not doing texture on your gun

Carl wrote: I don't know

Ditto on the I don't know .

I don't know much about Golive so I did a search, not even sure if you can still buy it Ron. Looks like Dreamweaver is the main one from them now.

Mind that search lead to me searching for web hosts, and my god there are loads!! The one I thought looked good, seems to have gone down hill from all the reviews I can find on it which is a shame cause it looks good on the website.

I think the big thing at the moment is Reality tv, which is a fast anyway cause it's not reality tv cause they are playing up to the camera!

I think I have only watched a little of Big Brother UK, even less of the BB anywhere else in the world ones. Only reality tv I tend to watch are more of the documentary types.

OMG.. it's just dawned on me, most of the stuff I was watching on tv has finished for the season! Think the only thing thats started up is Ghost whisperer series 3.
Oh me! oh my! Will have to trawl though all the stations and see what I can find.. Oh my bad think we started watching the new Flash Gordon more too , shows you how bad my sci-fi fix needs filling lol!

Hey you think Ahimsa is okay? She seems mighty quiet of late, unless she's missing Steve? Okay scrap that thought, was just going to say they arn't the same person are they.. but forget I said that..

Ahimsa certainly slim on the ground - I think baby sitting alot

Is that legal?

Poor baby will get squished

Carl wrote: I take it you don't call it that

Honestly... yes we do call it that too , it's just one of them sayings with a lot of different meanings .

Carl wrote: flash gordon looks suitable corny

It is, but on the other hand it's a sci-fi/fantasy tv program! Woo Hoo!

Carl wrote: your as bad as me LOL

I can't help it... I blame my Mum . She love's Sci-fi fantasy too.

Am just thankful that at least with reading books there is a wide choice in the sci-fi/fantasy gene's, so I can get my fix some how

Just had a look. Looks like it does everything.

Carl wrote: are you not doing texture on your gun

No. I do not plan on texturing any of the tutorial models. Texturing will be a learning phase all by itself - after modeling.

Quote
Carl wrote: you don't need to know code

It's a good thing, for me at least, about the coding. The thing that cost me most in terms of aggravation and time was my failure to recognize the need for structured, high quality, tutorials on Maya's scripting language. I knew from the beginning that it was crucial but I thought I could pick it up as I went along. This seat-of-the-pants approach has been a big mistake. I find learning programming syntax to be especially tedious and difficult so I should have made a point of focusing on just that.

Ok, looks like I got sidetracked a little. I will focus on Dreamweaver.

I really liked that one. Still need to see the movie. I thought the crazy girl was great.
I had high hope for the new Terminator series because it had her as the terminator but I only saw one episode before I cut my satellite.
