I've got them all checked, and I get an alert when i'm on the site, but I don't get an email notification with a link to the forum. I have to come to the site, click on 'forum' and then find the thread.

. And I guess I'll be getting my Horse directly from HW someday (with Iray mats, yes? still?)

Welcome to the Hive!!

Yes, that's being worked on now :)

All of them are being updated with Iray & Superfly mats.

.
Which makes me wonder where exactly that free DIM-packager is

DIM Maker
DIM-Maker-v0.4.7z


The one at DAZ is Content Package Assist (not free). Have heard that works well, haven't any clue about DIM Maker. I use DIM only to download things at DAZ and then I self install.

You mean, like using "there isn't any typos" , instead of "there aren't any typos"? :sneaky:
No Earl, that's a grammar question, not a typo. Typos are misspellings or transpositions of letters. I'm famous for transpositions because I type at over 100 wpm, and often used to transpose certain sets of letters all the time. I'm better now that I'm retired, but back in the day, when I had to get a 100 page brief out the same day, I didn't do the proofreading. I just typed and had the professional proofreaders in our Word Processing department check for the typos.

Basically my problem is one hand is faster than the other, so some letters don't get typed in the order they should.

Holy smoking rockets, Batgirl (or is that holy smoking hands?) ;)
:rofl: I'm slower than I was when I was still working, and I'm not the only one here that types that fast. Oh, and that's with chronic CTS, so you can imagine how fast I'd be able to type if I didn't suffer from that.

When I interviewed for the job I was given a page to type, and was told I would be timed for 5 minutes. At the end of the 5 minutes I was 2/3 of the way through it a second time. The secretarial manager couldn't believe it. Oh, and I only had 2 small transpositions, so she told me they were more interested in accuracy than speed, but it's hard to slow down when you're used to typing fast, especially if you have a typewriter (and eventually a computer keyboard) you've broken in nicely for your personal touch. ;)

There was a gal that worked at the firm for a few years that put us all to shame. She was originally a court reporter, and when she typed, it sounded like a drill, because the sound of the keys was so fast and consistent, it sounded like a loooooong steady noise.

I've only been here a short time, but I still feel badly about how things went south, and in record time. This was 15 pages in before I found out about it, and couldn't be more shocked. I guess they thought Chris should be pooping out unicorns, rainbows and little smiley faces in his announcement. I read it as being what it was.....matter of fact, but comforting all of us that we'd be ok, things would still be business as usual here, and no one should be concerned. Basically, we aren't going anywhere, we're fine. I think it was more important to reassure all of us than to pander to them like they expected.
The animals will be released from bondage and shipped back home where they'll be happy and loved.

I spent years avoiding the news or barely reading it because it was just so stressful. Everything in the news was bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. Nothing good either never happened or was never covered. After all, if it was something I really needed to know about, it would most likely be discussed at work. If something important was going on ... like an incoming snow storm or something important that would impact me, I'd check it out. But other than that, I didn't bother keeping up with all the stabbings and shootings or threats of annihilation. I would read Mother Nature Network and Treehugger a few times a week, since they both cover primarily "environmental news, advice on sustainable living, conservation and social responsibility." But they also then to promote hope.

So, I was blissfully unaware of many things that had others cowering under their beds.

Until the current administration that is. Surprisingly, several of my coworkers now take the approach of avoiding the news ... specifically anything about the current administration. But me? I can't resist the train wreck. But because the current administration also threatens those things that are very important to me (environment, human rights, conservation, social responsibility, blah, blah, blah), rarely a day goes by when I don't read everything I can find about what's going on.

Anywhooo ... I really do try not to mention politics in my posts, but this particular situation was just sooo much like what's going on in that little house in the swamp.

Sorry, late on the uptake on this. I read your post earlier, but I didn't connect to "The Mooch" comment until I heard it again on the radio today. Someone was referred to getting unfairly attacked, and screwed, and he said he got "Scaramouched"

It was funny. Then I made the connection again to your comment Satira.

Actually, if your on Facebook, DesertSilver, Alex is working on a feathered dino right now. I'm sure he has a back log of critters but maybe he and Ken complained to DAZ that their stuff was being pushed to the side so he got into a snit and worked on the dino. I don't have anything against Alex, he's a nice man but business is business and if he was feeling threatened and his relationship with DAZ is pretty long standing they perhaps bent for him and kicked the Hive in the teeth instead. Nasty business sometimes

There are some odd things buried in the LAMH thread from his partner claiming he is the best animal modeler and such- (when someone had brought up the Hive animals) that make me think you are right on target.
I also can't help wondering if they were seeing the Lamh presets done by one of their best PA s and got worried . What if she made some skins for Dawn?? Oh Nooos!!

Since my name came around let me tell you that your assumptions and conspiracy theories are all wrong. I don't care at all about competition, nor I do my work to seek any kind of validation from users; last thing I'd do is asking a store to remove someone else products because they compete with mine. And stay assured that if one would even try that, DAZ would kindly show them the door, as it is supposed to be if you ask me.
About the game "wh0's the best animal modeler" I will leave that up to you and those that have the time and energy to play it. I just find it unfair to mock the ones that support or like competition better: regardless how biased one could be, else work and opinion should always be respected.

Most I ever did was 35-50 or 60 wpm in my heyday, but usually on the lower end of that spectrum.
