Bloody HATE the things! http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/27518765/ http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/27518765/ Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:08:19 PDT
But alas, they DON'T make them like they used to. My dad's first ever mobile phone was an Alcatel. Two row display, by today's standards it would be a BLOODY HORROR, but way back when, it was considered opulent to even have one. The thing was nothing short of a brick - and it had battery slots. I mean AAA batteries. You could slip batteries in the fucking thing so you wouldn't run out. And it was impossible to run out anyway.

I hooked up a MIG to the phone, and it ran for several days. My first phone ever - another gay Alcatel - lasted FOREVER. Never broke. Used it for a year or so.

My current phone is one that I've had with me for a while now (I believe around 3 or 4 years already) - a Nokia 6230i - NEVER failed me. The headphone port is FUCKED and I can't hear in the left headphone, but I use a Bluetooth handsfree when I'm driving, so what the fuck does that matter? It lasts for a fair bit, even WITH Bluetooth on, the quality of the sound is fairly good (and the microphone isn't a piece of shit) - which only became a factor after I started traipsing about in crowded areas and needed a phone that wouldn't distort after every bloody ambulance siren - and I did get tired of not being heard on the other end.

Sadly, I can no longer use it as a music player (which is why I wanted a new fangled thing-a-ma-jig in the first place), but it's solid. They do NOT make them this reliable anymore. I even have a nice wallpaper of Dante on the thing. It's not huge (at least not as large as my now SMASHED TO BITS Nokia N73) and it will fit neatly into my pocket, resembling a modest erection. O NO I WENT THERE. :noes:

Ever since China dug into these, they became crap. I swear! I used to love that N73, music player and all. It had really nice features on the thing, and I probably have some notes I couldn't do without but fuck it. It's worth settling my nerves with the smashing about of crap technology.

Now they keep selling these CRAP Sony Erikkkkksons, w350i or whatever, the walkman. Thin and stuff. It's great as a walkman, and the headphones it comes with are COOL, but as a phone, it's rubbish. I can barely hear the other guy talking, and everyone complains how I'm barely heard myself. And I do talk rather lightly whilst on the phone, because I really don't want to risk looking like those people who want to look important talking on the phone.

STOP IT! IT'S A FUCKING PHONE! Make phones be phones again, with the shitty displays, and the batteries that last for months. My N73 used to last a fair bit, before it became afflicted with wear & tear, and I lost the urge to splurge money repairing an already slow and shitty phone. Yeah, it's nice at first, but it gets slower over time. My 6230i DOESN'T. Beat that.

Now if you'll excuse me, my headache has somewhat subsided, and I need to file and polish my nails. I think one is breaking. And I might have a psychotic break. And invent a titanium-grade keratin bond so my nails won't break and I can skin cats with them.

AND NOTHING ELSE MATTEEEERS, YEAH! *insert solo*

]]> ~CAD-TheLucas Guitar trivia - and a break from the feature; rant http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/26694213/ http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/26694213/ Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:26:07 PDT
Changing the strings is a WONDERFUL occupation; but that's if and only if you're using a hardtail guitar, i.e. one without a tremolo arm (whammy bar, correct name is vibrato arm, but whatever, let's run with it).

Here's a few pictures, for reference (that I stole off some websites I found on google, but I'm sure they won't mind, I'm just making my point in an educational sort of way, and expressing my frustration at the same time).

Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket


These things have 6 little pieces of metal/steel/titanium/whatever that help keep the string in place (called saddles), and nothing else, really. Maybe some screws and stuff, but it's not relevant to the discussion. They help intonate the string, and they tie it down at one end, whilst at the other, the tuners help... well... TUNE the string, quite obviously. This is all well and proper, and great for drop tunings (for various reasons, there's various tunings, standard being EADGBE) - since at any given time, the strings exert a certain tension on the bridge, and the body of the guitar - obviously, they need to, to vibrate fast enough to produce audible sounds. Obviously, for DROP tunings (i.e. you loosen the strings or tighten so they that vibrate at different frequencies to produce OTHER notes, than the standard tuning, for example what's known as Drop C that is CGCFAD, known in heavy metal, and also the tuning responsible for the kick ass aggressive sound of metalz :la:)

One more detail - the truss rod - to add insult to injury. In effect a simple metal rod that exerts a certain amount of tension to oppose the one from the strings. Yes, wood is durable and shiny, and they make guitars out of it, but it's not a hunk of a wood after all. Neck bends from different gauges (the thicker, the more horror you must endure) and requires certain adjustments - obviously, thicker gauge, more tension is required to keep the neck straight so it doesn't buzz or become uncomfortable to play on (yes, the neck CAN look like underside of a ship if you don't have it set up properly, and obviously it's a horror to play). So that's one automatic adjustment you have to do, whether you change weather conditions (oh yeah, wood reacts to temperature and humidity changes), you might have to adjust it, without doing anything with the strings. So, basically, the truss rod's NOT an instrument of torture if you're a bedroom rocker who changed string gauges every so often, because you'd only need to adjust it when you change string gauge, unless your house is either a furnace or an igloo. Or a place where the humidity changes like I change my undershorts when it's hot out.

Photobucket

Anyway. Someone thought (you know who you are... you clever bastard!) that it'd be nice to have a bar that lowers and raises the pitch of the sound, at the bridge, and at the convenience of the right hand. The effect itself is called vibrato (lowering and raising the pitch of a note), but as opposed to standard left hand vibrato, it's a much more defined sound, as it can turn a plain harmonic into something from a fight with the ex when she shrills your brains out, or you can do a dive bomb like it's time to run for cover - so it basically covers a wider range of sounds). But how can you raise and lower the tension on the strings without a bridge that moves? Well, let's make the bridge float then! How does it float? To keep it simple - ...ah, screw it, I'll just show it to you.

Fancy thingy, with all the saddles, and everything, fine tun... ]]> ~CAD-TheLucas Now this is talent! And dedication! http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/26553816/ http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/26553816/ Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:41:26 PDT
Myself? I'm not great artist. Sure, I can make a shiny 3D object people will stare at in amazement, but I'm very far from making anything meaningful. I guess although I enjoy it, it's just a hobby, and I don't care much for polishing hobbies to a mirror shine at this age; much better things to do. And now that I'm in medical school, I suppose that at some point making posters of shiny 3D scalpels will be of some use. Don't know for sure.


There is however a ray of hope and passion, even though it's in a rather unusual direction.

:iconundead-art:

Now this is talent! And yes, even gruesome things require talent and imagination. If they didn't, we'd all be staring at headless barbies, and those dumb, grinning Chucky pictures. Take a look, and feel some of the shivers from my spine when I saw this kind of talent at work. And yes, whilst pretty, perky things are good, and ugly, misshapen things are bad, there's a place for the bad as well. (And no offence to Mr. Undead Ed, I was merely making a point, and using ugly as a compliment :))

]]> ~CAD-TheLucas I'm rather annoyed. Jolly good. http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/26483032/ http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/26483032/ Sun, 09 Aug 2009 12:03:38 PDT
So far, I've spoken to the PR manager, and apparently I have to take it in for a setup. Hopefully, they'll agree with me, and take it to a luther for some fret adjustments. I'm quite sure it's not the nut, otherwise they'd buzz whilst open, and the frets are brand new and shiny, as far as wear and tear goes (again, BRAND NEW guitar), so... from what I know the problem is with the frets not being level. But I lack the tools to make such claims, so all I'm left with is the vague hope that they value their professional responsibilities toward the instruments they purvey. :)

But it's not all bad, I'm also getting some money in tomorrow from selling my Guitar Hero plastic implement of doom; I also get to walk a fair bit. But then walking is good for you. Beyond that, all that's left is waiting for my guitar to be back from the "place", and hopefully it'll be in tip-top shape.

School's back!

Gotta love that. Last year of high-school, as if the whole wasn't deep and black enough. It's actually not that bad, but there's sooooo much crap to sign and read and sleep over. It's pretty much like setting up a coup, but with more and more paperwork each year. Most of the stuff is just there for inspections anyway -- based on the wild assumption inspectors ever care anymore. Plus we got moved to a very creepy classroom that looks like it's been nuked. Did a few pranks on the first day; hoping it's gonna be a fun week.

Also, recently got back into Guild Wars. I have everything save for EoTN right now, but I'm working to get that. Nightfall is awesome, but Factions sucks ass. You srsly will only use the skills from it. Ah well.

PM me in-game and we'll party sometime. IGN is Lady Lilah. [Oh, and the title is a funky quest in Eye of the North. :giggle:



Why?

Why is my question. But it's a very specific why. Why do people post so many journals? It's roughly like nagging on a lesser site, with the sole exception people whine more. I've taken great care not to watch the wrong people, but invariably I see a ton of boring journals every day as it somebody *truly* cares what happens to you.

Then there's that annoying kind of self-promotion - which is just stupid - that's starting to get more and more on my nerves; there's the people that are sad and feel the need to shout it - mind you out of nobody's fault but their own. Then there's also people who support other people's stupidity, with a bunch of diseases that could have been avoided with just a bit of caution. Then there's people who insist on having a giganormous full of otherwise useless boring crap, but that insist it's cool.

#deviant3D

As some of you may have noticed (if you've ever browsed the category listing for funsies, or out of boredom) the 3D gallery sections are a bit... chaotic. More to the point, the first time I ever opened the tab to submit some works, I couldn't make heads or tails of the damn thing. So, a few people thought they should resolve our endless plight, by asking other people. And us. Whole shindig's going down on the 17th of August. I've no idea what time, so just be there all day long. Seriously though, I think a revamp of the categories won't hurt anyone: your timetable, your pride, whatever last shred of decency you have lying around.

Still working on my Ford. Haven't done much progress because I was hoping my new rig would arrive (at long bloody last!). Rendering another WiP today, working on a Katana, on a Claymore (their swords, not the actual girls), my fella (which I'm going to rip, and hopefully animate if I can finish his lightsaber), a dojo, some arch rooms. I also plan to finish my kwan dao, since I figured how to texture the damn thing.

$Greece

It's a vacation, so I'm forced by law of nature to go somewhere with my folks so we can argue on other parts of the Earth as well. Not as bad as it sounds, but still; for some reason, I can't stomach Greece unless I go with a means of transportation that doesn't require me to endure 22 hours of road. And if we leave at night, spend only God knows how many hours on the road (obviously the time depends on a number of factors) and end up in the morning there, how will I not get brain cancer?

A whole 10 days in Greece is the equivalent of the electric chair on my body. I recall the last time I've been there I only spent like... 3 days maybe, and I slept for 6 hours. Got a nice tan though, swam in the sea for a bit. So awesome. Paralia Katerini is top notch!

Now, there's some hotel thing in Mt. Olympus or some such odd resort. Still, I hope I get to visit Athens... I wanna see Sparta someday. And wear a leather speedo.


$Feature

Woo! I found someone with some kick ass stuff to feature. Yes, I am a pervert; nobody asked you. Seriously. I thoroughly enjoy his style and ideas. And if you say Hentai, you're just a poorly schooled piece of work. Such as it is, his skills are supreme as far as I'm concerned. And he lacks the "OMG KAWAII DESUDESUDUES" that other so called "artists" suffer from. Check it out if you enjoy colorful pictures of girls. And if you're normal. And if you're a loli, we're gathering some of those for our twisted odds and ends. Clicky clicky!
:iconkoukides:


$Updates

Working is just nature's way of getting back at you for pissing off your parents. Believe me, it's becoming quite obvious lately. Hopefully, the sleepless 3-day work period is a luxury I'll only be required to afford in the vacation. If I work like this again, I'll prolly flunk something... or rather, somethings. Still.

&News

Taking a break from modeling. I feel it's getting a bit stale (for me). I need a break and some new games. But lately the game industry SUCKS ASS. They don't have the common sense of making games that require low-end machines, and on top of that, the new games suck. No story, gameplay equal to zero, it's kind of like watching paint dry, but on a computer screen. Why did I spend money on my last few games, for the sake of owning them legally? Ah yes. For the great pleasure of throwing them out the window. I'm not saying it's not worth owning games, but get Collector's Editions, and get them after you play them at other people's houses. Or something.



&Updates

Learning how materials work is a bit of a pain in the arse. SSS materials are weird... translucent materials are equally weird; at some point, in learning how they fuction, you will see light pass straight through solid objects. Gotta love physics. I've been working on some japanese lamps, some shields, but I think I'm gonna make a Fella army. And a Fella robot. And some Fella serfs working for me, whilst I sit on my throne.



&Stuff worth buyin'

Lately, I've purchased a few things to help with my work and inspire me. I've explored them thoroughly (I don't recommend things off the top of my head, just because I wanna look cool), and they're pretty damned good.

[link] 3D Total's texture packs, all 15 of 'em. Textures from around the world, fantasy textures, organic textures, architectural textures, you name it, they have it. Also some good weapon reference pics/textures, to try out. Great for inspiration.

I don't believe how some game companies are utterly retarded. But then, ever since Half Life 1, I've thought "Hey, Sierra fits the bill!". Why am I angry? For the past 4 or 5 days, I've been working on Fuuraiken, as a gift for someone. And since I hate working more than 15 minutes at a time on things without reference pictures (let's face it, the cosplay Fuuraiken you find on the net is just LAME), I generally go back and forth from one game to the other. Generally, I can keep max up even while playing Oblivion on a pretty hefty resolution, without any problems, crashing or the like.

But woe is me, for trying games that are lame excuse for Baldur's Gate 2 precursors. Don't get me wrong, Fallout is awesome. Arcanum however is a piece of crap. Alt-tab out of, and back into the game and the computer reboots. And would ya look at that, it wasn't done saving my file! And now it's corrupted.

http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/10333380/ Mon, 09 Oct 2006 06:44:51 PDT bad about it, except I sleep a grand total of 6 hours per night, and a nip in-between, so I can do homework.

Homework is fun, it's just that I don't have time to do it all in one day. Gah for that. Oh, and, you people who claim homework to be irrelevant, go fucking burn in hell. You're incompetent idiots, who will end up selling shoe shine, and overpriced Barbies.

Moving on...
I've noticed people are seriously fucking up lately. It's all "love love love" like idealistic retards, and then "even though it was shallow, *cries* WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME ANYMORE?". It's freakin' pathetic. Are humans losing all sense of reason these days? Or must I personally BITCH slap each and every one of them? Christ, they really need a life. And a guillotine. Or, I need one to rid the world of fools.

Also, my job is going rather nice. Except being woken at 3 AM, it's quite peachy. I hate my job. And I love hating it. And I make tons of moneys.

Do look over them. Or I'll slap you!

 ~CAD-TheLucas Back on track, and tagged! http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/10237495/ http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/10237495/ Sat, 30 Sep 2006 13:51:57 PDT
I bloody hope you're happy, adorable squirrel lady! :crying: You've made me tag people!

Here's the GUIDELINES :
1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward for each question.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesnt make sense. NO CHEATING!
4. Tag 5 ppl at their tagboard to ask them to do this!
5. Bold the questions and with the answers, give your own comments on how it relates to the questions.


How are you feeling today?
Queen - Love of my life
Quite happy, despite it sucking vigorously at the start. And yes, it pretty much involved women. Yay for being straight! :w00t:

Will you get far in life?
The Corrs - Irresistible
Yer talkin' to yer next president, sonny. I'm not joking, ambition is the key to stuff like "huge piles of moneys without much work". And yes, moneys > money.

How do your friends see you?
Nightwish - Two for tragedy
Indeed, tragedy. I can't say I have many true friends, of the "have known for years, and trust" variety. But generally, I am seen as an arrogant, stuck up, sociopath-e, but amusing person.

Will you get married?
Pantera - No Good
I must be on a roll, second song that matches the answer. I don't plan to, just yet. Life still has mysteries that cannot be solved with a wife. No offense, guys.

What is your best friend's theme song?
Dimmu Borgir - Allehelgens Dod I Helveds Rike
Best friend... he's usually a 50 Cent kinda guy. :)

What is the story of your life?
Dana Glover - It Is You (I Have Loved)
What freakin' story? I rock, the end.

What was high school like?
Eminem - 8 Miles
It kicks ass. Partly because I'm 90% of the fun in my classroom.

How can you get ahead in life?
Pantera - Metal Magic
Be yourself, quit being a fucking EMO, and realise that people hate you. The only way to truly get liked, and not be an idiot, is to impose your will. None of that "I like you" in your face, but "I freakin' hate that loser" from behind BULLSHIT.

What is the best thing about your friends?
Kamelot - Etude Jongleur
They're freakin' crazy. :lol:

What is in store for this weekend?
Placebo - Jackie
Today - suckage.
Tommorow - see my lady. :love:

What song describes you?
Placebo - Lady Of The Flowers
One with high pitched screaming and bitching.

To describe your grandparents?
Shakira - Un Poco De Amor
Good people. Definitely. :)

How is your life going?
Jedi Mind Tricks - Raw Is War 2003
Pretty well, so far. No major complaints.

What song will they play at your funeral?
Sonata Arctica - Weballergy
I refuse to die, I am a god!

How does the world see you?
Disturbed - Fear
A NEW POWER IS RISING. I'm kinda Saruman-ish, usually.

Will you have a happy life?
Crazy Town - Beautiful
It's pretty good, so far.

What do your friends really think of you?
Bitza - Tovarasilor Ft. Raku & Dj Dox
I prefer ignorance, because of the following reason -
They like me - OK.
They don't - Burn in Hell!

Do people secretly lust after you?
System of a Down - Suite Pee
Not really...

How can I make myself happy?
Jason Wade - You Belong to me.
Masturbation and chocolate. Seriously.

What should you do with your life?
Modern Talking - We take the chance
Alot. Trust me on that. Nubz. =P

Will you ever have children?
Lacuna Coil - Distant Sun
Unless condoms decide they're not invented anymore, nope.

Tags, tags, TIME TO SUFFER.
http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/10233375/ Sat, 30 Sep 2006 07:26:04 PDT If there's anything worst than remorse, I'm not quite sure what it is. It just sucks. I am aware that life bites you in the ass. I am also aware that some things can change your life, like car accidents, or god knows what else that involves organs outside of the body in some nature, Hell, even seeing dead people.

However, today, none of the above happened. Today, was a simple relaxing happy day. Sure, I got on the tram, for Herastrau Park, to meet 2 friends. (One of which I'm interested in, and the other, her best or former best friend.)

Stuff transpired. I have no idea who's fault is it, but it did. End result - 3 sad people. I mean REALLY sad. And I think a friendship just ended on my watch. Apparently, one of them says it's not my fault...

I don't know what the fuck I should think, but to see something as beautiful as a true friendship end while I was there, regardles of the little details... being utterly powerless... I hate this.

And if this is some message from God, telling me I'm not invincible, telling me I shouldn't be arrogant anymore, then... FUCK YOU GOD! FUCK YOU! Punish me, not other people.

All the wuv for a good friend, plus a feature here. ;) [Also, sorry for adding you here so late in the game. Sowee hun. :hug:]

It's here! Sweet merciful Hi-Speed USB wires, it's here! I'm in love... though it is quite tricky to use. :love:

Further updates soon... Also.

My new project

If anyone wants in, send me a note. I'm thinking of doing Photoshop tutorials in Camtasia Studio with voice-overs, for beginners, and somewhat advanced trainees. I can't say I'm an expert, but still, 3 years or so of Photoshop have thought me alot. Most of the stuff I don't really post because of NDA agreements. :)

I can't wait.

Current members of the project
Myself, who does pretty much any/everything.
Enyeck, who promised to help with the errata of the narrated text. :P

Also, if you came here looking for boobs, you might wanna go see a psychiatrist... if pr0n is your treat, at least find a decent website and stop using DA. Thank you. =P ]]> ~CAD-TheLucas *sigh* Here we go again... http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/8997636/ http://CAD-TheLucas.deviantart.com/journal/8997636/ Wed, 07 Jun 2006 09:51:09 PDT

Don't forget to DevWatch if you like my gallery, please. :)

Something to bear in mind
If I have DevWatched you, I think it'd be nice for you to return the favor.
Also, I'm at the very beginning of my modelling exercise soooo ... cut me some slack, ok ? :P
Many MANY MANY thanks to for having the patience of showing me the ropes in 3DS MAX, so far. Thanks man. :hug:

Also, something else to consider
My various skills also include Adobe Photoshop 7 through 9, 1 and a half year.
I know HTML, XHTML, a bit of PHP and plenty of CSS to go around. Some Flash MX, Dreamweaver MX, and I also use Microsoft Frontpage.

This account belongs to a friend of mine. He usually provides me with some stock I need; only recently did he turn his account to stock. He has some pretty interesting deviations to see. Check it out.
