Halloween decorations on the other hand... Summer vacations still aren't done and already I started to see them last week. In our area school started yesterday.

This is a technique one of the painters I watch does. Sounds exactly right. The wash soaked into the acrylic and did Bad Things. 5 hours ago, Pezler the Polychromatic said: With oil washes, varnish first and put it on, and then remove excess with a q-tip and mineral spirits.

Was looking at a financial campaign on MMF, and thought the screen was locked up. No, there is just a top menu and a bottom menu that are immovable. That left about five pixels left to display the content. Uh huh. They better hope I remember to look when I get back to the desktop. MMF's mobile website is INCREDIBLY bad. Like, they used a lot of modern website design tools and then completely neglected to test it in a mobile environment. I think the thing that most irritates me is the inability to pinch to zoom, even on images.... 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenity Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) I received an email today from Red Box Games (Tre Manor) saying they are getting ready to start releasing their first Siocast minis. Release date is Aug. 31. The first release is a set of ten adventurers. Due to Reaper's rules, I can't link you there, but the product is listed on the main page of their web site where he accepts preorders.

Pegazus Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Got one of those days going where the gears in my brain are locked up somehow. Took me about an hour to find a change in a spreadsheet that was causing an error and really feel I should have immediately noticed it. I can feel my ego deflating, but then I know I am smarter than I feel, which inflates my ego again, and I feel like it’s all a paperclip being bent back and forth until it breaks. Then I have to find ego glue. I am sure that this has zero relationship to my ReaperCon entry that I managed to get to a state last night where my opinion of it is both “it’s trash” and “wow, it’s beautiful” at the same time. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristof65 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Ugh... Today a two hour training session took 3.5 hrs. Not really in a bad way - the guy was asking intelligent questions, and thus we went off on tangents I don't usually cover. But it screwed up the rest of my day. Haven't even had lunch yet, and I'm off in 30 minutes. Found out that after I get back from ReaperCon, I have to head up to South Dakota for an install. Good thing I've got several Audible credits available, as I'm going to be burning through the audiobooks here shortly. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoramel Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 So after years of trying to get my agency to adopt drone technology I finally got the director's office to agree to try them out. Today was the first of three planned site visits this season to test the ability of aerial drones for large site inspections. In the last couple of years our department of transportation spun off their UAV unit into its own semi-independent unit to service different state agencies that perform a lot of outdoor site visits. They came out with a variety of vehicles with a bunch of different video, mapping and infrared devices and put them to use checking out some defunct strip mines with stream damage. The sites we looked at would have taken a small team of people about three days to cover on foot. But with the drones we finished up in about five hours. Not nearly as interesting as going hiking all day. But so much safer and we probably have better and more complete data on the site than if we walked it. Here's one of the drones we used for video, still images and infrared. The only drawback, other than not being able to use them in the rain, was that they're not legally allowed to fly them outside of visual range. So we had to keep driving around looking for places to pull off the road and launch them. Though I noticed that "visual range" doesn't mean you can easily spot them. Every time I looked down at the operator's screen I'd lose sight of the drone and have to take several minutes to relocate. For instance, there's a drone in this picture that's not easy to spot. Despite that it was all pretty exciting. Next up we're going to hook up a magnetometer and see how closely our pipeline maps match reality. I'm like a kid on Christmas playing with a new toy right now. It's pretty awesome. 14 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
