catstuff 09:52 AM - 01/19/2011 The topic: You know those awesome sunset photos ---------------------------------------------- I take in the backyard?  The ones with the tree with no leaves?  At the left of the picture (go over to my life in pictures and choose the old gallery, naturescapes, sunsets).  Well, that tree is dead, dead, dead. It was a plum tree (remember the photo of the plum on the ground with all the bees on it? That was pretty cool). And now it’s a dead plum tree. It has termites and some sort of fungus on it. Last weekend, Brian cut it back.  He cut all of the branches off.  Now, there are just three big flat areas.  And, at my suggestion, he’s going to build some sort of treehouse for the kitties!  We don’t know how long the tree will remain standing, no idea how the root system is, but for a while, the cats will have a fun place to hang out.  There will be two levels, the bottom one shaded by the top one.  I think this will be pretty darned cool.  The levels will be like boxes so the cats won’t accidentally roll off.  That was my idea.  *lol* I’ll take pictures as he does it. | | Permalink

geekstuff 09:43 AM - 01/19/2011 The topic: Why? ---------------------------------------------- Why does trial software only do so much?  Why does it have limitations?  This project I was working on the past week needed certain kinds of software. But the trial version only did a little, I needed something that did longer than just a little.  A time thing. So, I bought the software and it didn’t work. They said on their website “if this doesn’t work, upgrade to this, we’ll refund your money for your first purchase if you’ve made them both in a short period of time”.  So, I bought the upgrade. It worked on some of what I was doing, but I kept having an encoding problem with about half of what I was working on. So, I tried a different company’s software.  That was half the price.  And it works like a dream.  No problems, no error messages.  Their trial software is a full version, just has a big ass watermark over it. But you know it works. I have no use for company A’s product.  I like company B’s product. Now what do I do? I had no choice but to purchase the full versions since the trials weren’t enough. Time to contact their support. Keep your fingers crossed I can get my money back. Other than that, my project is complete.  I would have never imagined something so simple would take so much time. | | Permalink
