                <description><![CDATA[ Cool, just hit 365 pageviews right on new year's eve <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> So, a little update...<br />
<br />
I just upgraded my PC for X-mas. I used to have:<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Pentium 4 2.66ghz (533MHz FSB, 512KB L1 cache)<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Crap Chaintech motherboard (SPT800)<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> 1GB of PC2700 DDR<br />
<br />
Now I've got:<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> Athlon 64 3700+ (1GHz FSB, 1MB L2 cache)<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 motherboard<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> 1.5GB of PC3200 RAM (perhaps soon 2GB)<br />
<br />
I haven't done much 3dsmax work/gaming/stress-testing with it (yet!), but I ran a few quick tests; one of which was rendering a 200-segment Geosphere (radius 70.0) with the Catmull-Rom antialiaser. That took 7-8 seconds on my Pentium 4, and it's only 4-5 seconds now.. so that's cool. Expect some radical fluid simulations soon or something! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" /><br />
<br />
Anyways, enough about that, let's see... new year's resolutions: do more deviations involving explosions!!.. that's about all. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" /><br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Boy, do I feel stupid...<br /><br />Two days ago, after a series of windows crashes, I had a bit of a scare when I couldn't access any files - thankfully chkdsk fixed the problem, on another computer. I should have backed up right then and there... but alas, I did not... it happened again, only this time it's a bit more serious - some of my 3ds work is lost. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
Notably the Ship Emerge and Stormy Seas source files are gone.. as well as some other smaller stuff I never got around to working on that much.. I haven't done a deep inspection of what's missing, but just the ship emerge one is painful... I was really interested in continuing work on that. :\<br />
<br />
Not to mention recently saved music files and some other video clips/movies... Live and learn, I guess..<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I just reformatted again last night... needed a clean start, long story. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Anyways, I began to start cleaning out my 3dsmax folder, when I realized that there're actually quite a few animations and images that I would like to upload but never go around to.<br />
<br />
Thus, there shall be more activity over the next few weeks (I promise, this time <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />). I'm looking for critique on most of them, some of them I'm still interested in working on and improving, so... yeah. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Haven't been around here much lately.. getting things sorted out after a reformat (well, that's mostly just an excuse, it's been pretty much straightened out for a week now). <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
I'll be uploading more animations soon.. once every few days at least, I hope. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just signed up last night, I thought it would be cool to have an online gallery of all my work... but now that I'm ready to submit it, it seems like almost none of it is worth posting. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I guess it's good in a way, that I feel like they should be better before I post them, because it will convince me to do a bit more polishing on all of my animations.... or I could submit the originals and use feedback to improve the next versions.. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
