A Little History Found
Over the weekend, I had the desire to do a little purge of items in my "sewing" room, formerly the dining room. In the midst of going through cardboard projects, bits of fabric and unusual papers I had collected long before moving to this tiny splat of dirt in the middle of Georgia, I found a large envelope with a doodle on it. I was addressed to Comico and that put it somewhere in the middle to late 80s. I'm reasonably Comico and Muu don't exist anymore and I wondered what I had packed in there and sealed it up so well.I just spent a few hours looking back at things I had do, much of which I remembered but thought I had packed somewhere else. With my spawn looking over my shoulder with some curiosity, I lead her down memory lane. Art I had done for companies in Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills. Work I did as I planned clothing and items for Historic reenactors in Virginia Beach and Williamsburg. Dothans who were living history interpreters at the Va Bch Marine Sciences Museum
A day that will live in infamy.
NEVER FORGET.
Eclipse:From Points to Fragments and Still Useless
I can't say the direction Eclipse is going is an improvement. Not even if I were in a state of extreme delirium. Inane activities to placate the kiddies because we don't want them to feel unloved. Has anyone not noticed the inexorable slide into drivel this place has gone? Ooh... Let's take Eclipse to the bottom of a steaming mass of less than undesirable pre-compost! We'll make it a game and give them distractions that will turn their attention away from us while we totally jack the site to infantile and put even more useless crap to gum it all up further and make it the social media site for imbeciles. Yes. Let's play a game. This game is called "let us take a once vibrant and active multi-disciplinary art site with active groups that shared interests, helped each other with tutorials and contests, and encouraged each other to become more creative to a total shit hole in under a year". It'll be great! Really! They forced Eclipse on us in May. Whittled away at Stash.
And... Eclipse is Still Useless
While touting all the things that have been added to Eclipse, much of the functionality many of us enjoyed under legacy dA, flawed as it was, is still not there. I checked my stats and found I had one visit and that came from the U.S. .Wow... That's pathetic. I still have no idea when I got these visitors or who they were. I see I have well over 500 deviations, even after the purge to streamline and clean up the gallery. I shouldn't have anywhere near that many. This leaves me suspicious as to where those are hidden. Can't seem to find the llamas. I don't see any offerings for the points for llamas "game". The point system is borked and if I wanted points, I have to buy them. Eclipse is still a steaming pile of crap code that should have been more thoroughly tested before pushing it onto us. Sure, the kiddies who run about posting their Poke/digi/Yugi offerings are more into the digital scene. With few exceptions the old schoolers who actually worked in traditional mediums
