people born on 29th of February never gets old... 🙂 They are always young..Heh. Actually, so am I. 😀
Hey Barry!!! I guess your ears were burning. Your name was mentioned earlier today?
How are you doing? How did everything go?
Heh, just now catching up to the end of the thread...
Last week was bad, really sick after the operation. This week is much better, I'm in PT/OT for at least another week. The operation seems to have been a success, but it'll be about a month before we know for sure... 🙂

Man, you're in fine form tonight Barry. The pain meds must be extra-fine. It almost makes me wish I'd kept my signature line listing you as my evil twin.No man, you're the evil twin! Remember, you've got the beard? 😀

Changing the subject (if there is one), any art critics here?Been fiddling with this on and off for a couple years now. Initial idea was just the light from the abyss, I added the statues to give a focus, not sure still if it's working.
p.s. Welcome back Barry
With my two wopping years of art school, I'll be actually critical. First, it looks cool. Second, it's not apparent that the light is coming from the abyss. Maybe a wider angle to the beams at the top & a bit more diffusion will take care of that. Also, the angle on the statues looks off. It seems like the ones on the right we should be seeing more of their backs, but that might be just me. Still, better than I could do. Nice.

I've noticed some renaming of users has gone on while I wasn't looking, and some zero-point newbie now has my name, whilst I get some random number tagged onto mine.
I guess its old news by now but can someone point me in the direction of any discussion/comment/friendly banter by others disgruntled with their unannounced name change - I can't be the only one!
And can I get my name back.

The forge's fire is ashen-cold.
No harp is rung, no hammer falls.
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls.

Tom there was some discussion about if on this thread a couple of thousand posts ago. Also there was an announcement by Steve here. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic789066-83-1.aspx

Maybe a wider angle to the beams at the top & a bit more diffusion will take care of that.I'm thinking of angling them a bit more, moving the light source up so that the widening is more obvious, and moving them more to the side.
Also maybe drop the light on the statues so that they are a little more discrete.
Also, the angle on the statues looks off. It seems like the ones on the right we should be seeing more of their backs, but that might be just me.
Not sure why. The two lines are equidistant from the path (where the bridge ends) and the ones on the right are to the right of the camera (camera at x-2.5 units, statue at x=4 units)
p.s. Not going to get a re-render anytime soon. At that size, the image takes 26 hours to render.

Ok, new subject.Anyone in here use Windows Home Server? If so, would you recommend it?
Not yet but I'm planning to install the eval on an old machine I have at the house. I'm pretty sure I remember Steve blogging about it or perhaps it was one of the editorials, anyhow it was basically about home disaster recovery... It's the reason why I'm investigating it, along with the media sharing capabilities...
I'll let you know how it comes out and would appreciate you feedback as well.
