Okay friends, I have a really irritating computer problem.

Yesterday morning shortly after I started work, my work computer stopped downloading websites. The browser will locate and contact the website, send the request, and then download forever without actually loading anything. This is the same in both firefox and IE, however an embedded browser in another application will load websites without any issues at all.

I don't recall making any major changes or software updates outside of recently reinstalling the Rhapsody music player. I uninstalled it to see if that would fix the problem, and it didn't.

All other internet applications run just fine, including fireftp, an ftp plugin for firefox.

The computer is a 2.8 ghz pentium d with 1gb of ram and a stupidly fast internet connection. None of the other computers on the network have this problem.

The firewalls check out ok. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. We ran a virus scan and came up with nothing. I've run CCleaner a bunch. I uninstalled google and yahoo toolbars that were installed in IE. I ran a tcp/winsock utility that was supposed to restore the XP defaults but the problem persists. I edited the registry to update the MTU values but the problem persists.

EDIT: problem solved (and not by me). It was McAfee security updates that was causing the problem, uninstalling it made it go away.

Subject:my name is brian root and I am the kind of guy that gets excited about buying software
Time:01:48 pm
I have been saving for it for the last few paychecks and today I finally ordered me a student license of Maya Unlimited 8.5 (and the video compositing and encoding software that's offered as a bundle with it) and I have gotten the email back from the vendor saying that they've confirmed my academic eligibility to purchase student discounted software. It should arrive sometime toward the end of next week.

Oh you guys I am so excited. I also ordered 2gb of ram from newegg so that my computer will run it properly and uninstalled my questionably obtained copy of maya 7 to make room and everything.

:D

Today I successfully converted an animation from the widely-used .bvh format into the apocryphal .seq format that we use at work and then I got our quicktime video encoder working.

I'm really into lowpoly artwork right now. Like when I was first getting into 3d I thought the idea of doing stuff that was perfectly photorealistically rendered was really neat but right now I am really digging what people can do inside of oldschool constraints. It's kind of like how we appreciate the artistry behind sprites now that we have xboxes and wiis that can push a bajillion polygons and huge texture maps and bump and spec and opacity and normal maps. Like if you look at the artwork you see on the current generation handhelds, that's what I'm talking about. Seeing what people can get away with on a budget of 200-300 polygons and one 128x128 texture map.

Like look at these threads, some of the work people are doing in them are just perfectly magical:
