Google SketchUp

 2007-03-12

This morning I was taking apart the stove at the summer house. And  after arriving home, I modeled what would go inside it next using Google SketchUp. The program is designed for simple and convenient preliminary architectural modeling. It takes just a few hours to learn how to use all of its features to the fullest.
Everyone really liked the result, and after 5 hours I was drawing houses and arranging furniture in them at breakneck speed—fortunately, you can assign single-letter keyboard shortcuts to everything. I'll show the result later; there's no time now, I need to sleep.

By the way, muscience recommends a new album by the little-known band Low  called "Drums and Guns". I liked the album quite a lot. Either I'm easily influenced, or  muscience really is the best young music journalist.

Ghost In Shell Stand Alone Complex

 2007-03-10

Finished watching the anime series Ghost In Shell Stand Alone Complex 2gig.
Somehow the music in it is worse than in the first part, and the translation is bad.
And overall, there are a lot of cheesy Russian stereotypes. Or have I just gotten smarter (older?)
Recommended viewing only for cyberpunk fans.

I succumbed to the general shopping frenzy and bought a whole bag of assorted stuff.
For example, martini (no martini, no party, hehe), a cake, oranges, and so on.
I didn't buy any bouquets, in accordance with the injunction of my sister mistrale1514.
Greetings to all girls and other women, especially the aforementioned sister and textfield, whom I resemble quite a bit in some ways. (Don't mind the fact that I'm silent, I just don't want to keep agreeing all the time).
Anyway, life is in full swing; today I worked for a whole 8 hours! A record, indeed.
People who work 12 hours or more—know that you are mad! But I bow down before you.
Now I'm going to watch episode 11 of Lost. adehopt and I are cooking up a clever little scheme here; soon we'll be posting music beautifully.
Good luck, everyone.
P.S. Greetings to Katerina too, if she sees this :-) Get well soon!

Mmm

Either I’ve been saying stupid things lately, or people don’t understand me.
I’d better go back to drilling holes in my computer. A therapeutic measure, so to speak.

By the way, Windows Vista has been cracked yet again, and this time very successfully. In short: Windows, sold preinstalled by major computer manufacturers (OEM), does not require activation. The crack fools Windows into thinking that it is installed on a computer made by ASUS or DELL. Microsoft’s problem is that it cannot block this—otherwise computers made by ASUS/DELL/etc. will stop working. And trying to detect that Windows is being fooled is pointless—the hackers will immediately release a new version of the crack.  So this method looks like a pretty good long-term solution.
