Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Nintendo STEALS Money!Since this has been going around lately, I should probably give my two cents. Basically what it amounts to is that Nintendo has filed Content ID info of their games with YouTube. What this means is that if you upload gameplay video of a Nintendo game, YouTube will automatically monetize that video, put ads on it, a link to where to buy the game, and take the money generated from that video and give it directly to Nintendo. People who do "let's play" videos are, naturally, pissed off because they want to be earning money off their videos, so they're calling Nintendo "thieves" for doing this.
I can see both sides to the story. I can see Nintendo as a corporation wanting to exercise control over their properties. On the other hand, "let's play" videos can often help new gamers find games they otherwise wouldn't have tried.
But here's the thing: Nintendo isn't the first company do this. Both Microsoft and Ubisoft do it already. YouTube has also had a long history of having music videos and

So, got my new iPad!! - if only it would work...

Mon Oct 29, 2012, 7:27 AM

*UPDATE*

The problem is apparently that....

The guys from Winthrop Services who have the contract to provide ALL the IT services for all government schools in WA created a custom image for the iPads to fit the net-nanny/usage policies for the education dept, and to make them work on our useless SOE4 network....

In the process of this re-imaging they disabled the ability for the iPads to have the proxy turned off and not only disabled it but removed the visibility of the 'switch' in the control settings in the process, so that no one could turn it back on again!!!

It did not occur to them to actually test their changes themselves before rolling the iPads out to us....that would cost them money...

So, NO ONE, not just me, was able to use their iPads at home last night and Winthrop have been told to "fix it!" without extra charges, but they don't know how to fix it yet and it may take some time....

Ultimately it will probably mean collecting all the iPads back and re-imaging them all over again. Meanwhile we have what amounts to a fancy internet browser with a difficult to use and tiny interface. My laptop is a better option that the iPad at present...

************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

The iPad works fine at work on the network there. The local techie said they'd had to make some 'adjustments' to get it working but he reckoned all should be ok at home as well.

I can connect to my wireless internet router at home OK. Can access the internet on Google Chrome app (but not Safari) but that's it!!

But can't get itunes, app store or any pre-installed app that requires a login or server connection to work.

I thought signing up to apple id might do the trick, but nope... it just will not connect...

*shrugs*

any ideas anyone...?

Oh, and if you're going to suggest anything technical, assume for arguments sake that I know NOTHING about Apple products that might be considered useful or that I have hardly any clue how to use an iPad yet... because you'd be right...

I don't have a i-anything, Not for the lack of wanting and wishing though, so I'm not sure if my advise will help but...a lot of the time log-in boxes are connected to pop-up boxes and maybe your browser security isn't letting the pop-up boxes that will allow you to continue at home for you to completely log-in.

I had that happen to me today, a vender we use at work changed their website, and I typed and typed the user id, luckily I realized that the pop up blocker was blinking and...I cussed and hit allow.

~Allysonsattic Oct 30, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Oh yeah!...cussing...helps a lot....did you cuss?

~Brii333 Oct 30, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Apple products are more trouble then they're worth. No offense meant.

~sirandal Oct 30, 2012 Professional General Artist

I don't normally write like a crazy person. My phone has a mind of its own. I think you could get th e gist of what I was saying though.

~sirandal Oct 30, 2012 Professional General Artist

It occurs to me that you could plug it into iTunes and just reset itbback to factory default settings but then it might change not work for you at your school network.

*SeanE Oct 30, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

but I can't access iTunes... *nothing* except chrome works at home... not that I would know what to do to reset it anyway

and what do you mean plug it in? I don't any cable to plug it into anything except the battery charger - that's all they gave us.

~sirandal Oct 30, 2012 Professional General Artist

You can install itunes on your PC and you can unplug the usb cable from the charger base. I was confused by that when I first got mine, too.

*SeanE Oct 30, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

still... probably won't work at school/work then, which is the whole purpose of the thing, so that might make the in-house techie unhappy... and piss off the boss as well...

~sirandal Oct 30, 2012 Professional General Artist

Agreed. But you could still try to see if you can get it to connect to iTunes on your PC. You can buy stuff with iTunes on PC and then have it install to your iPad (rather than try to use itunes or appstore on the ipad itself).

~misora-hunter Oct 29, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Here's an idea: stop buying overpriced junk.
Why are people so blind to the fact that the "i" line is such shyte?
There are machines that do the same things better for less money and there's no dealing with all the nonsense that comes with the "i" line.
