Love thy computer…

Hello again, everyone! I have been very unhappy for the past 24 hours or so, and now I am very happy! That is because I have just been through the dark uncertainty of a power cut!!!

At Work?

Yes, you heard me right! The power cut lasted over 24 hours! It started at 2: 20pm UK time on the 26th May, till 2:43pm on the 27th! After this ordeal I can now exclusively tell you all that it was horrible!

My day was full of Half Light, Pitch Black and NO technology, apart from what little power I dared to take from my iPod Touch…

To cut a loooong story short, here are the key events, for those that want to know…

One Year of modo!

What had I just done exactly one year ago?  Something very special, that’s what!

The date was 16th May 2009 and, after months of saving, I was finally able to buy the great 3D software from Luxology, modo! What a happy day that was!! It was in the second half of the modo 401 roll out, and so I was actually buying 302 at that point. 401 did not release until 18th June 2009.

My Luxology forum avatar for the past year. A modonaut I am!

To celebrate my 1st modo anniversary, I have a little project planned for a release this week, along with the completion of a new final image. Nothing really special, but I just thought I’d mention my pleasure at this happy occasion and fond memory. 😀

I’ll release those two little projects when complete. modo WIP forum watchers will already know about the image that’s coming. 🙂

Scuppered Servers…

Hello JedBlog Readers! You may have noticed that the old address of the JedBlog no longer exists, but, never fear, because it is back to it’s original location! My Blog now at http://www.3dsc.facennafineart.com/jedblog/ (here), So please update bookmarks etc.

No need to resubscribe, but if you haven’t yet subscribed, but would like to, see here:  Subscribe.

Files Compromised.

Now – for the curious amongst you, The reason that the JedBlog has moved for the second time was, again, out of my control. We at the Facenna household had two servers, and my blog was on one, my site on the other. We found the whole blog server completely emptied of all of it’s contents last week. The service provider said it was foul play from a third party, and they said that the “the information has been compromised”, but I’m not sure that I believe that. At any rate, the files have gone.

However, learning from my experiences of the past, I luckily had a back up from Jan 2010, and I have successfully restored it. Please enjoy.

The interim posts have been manually reinstated, some from the feed, one painstakingly decoded from a mangled version in my cache.

Thank you for your patience, and your continued interest in the JedBlog. Hopefully it will go smoothly from now! 🙂

New piece for your enjoyment – an experimental character of a little Duck.

You can read more about Mallard at the Luxology Forum Thread or Deviant Art.

My little duck design and render. Made in modo 401.
