Ok, let's give the Anker a shot.. can't go wrong for a tenner.

The more natural grip makes good sense.

 fits well in my hand but slender enough that is is well suited for my wife

 Hey Eric,

 All I wrote is obviously personal, I know not everybody feels that way
 about the Evo, some people never adjust to it, some people can't live with
 anything else. Well, except possibly the fact evo's research is sketchy
 (50-70 degree is better than their 85).
 The thumb thing does happen to me after prolonged use, especially if I
 have to frequently hold the clicks, in which case a flat mouse will not
 present the problem as you don't have to exert any force opposite to the
 click, the desk will do it for you.

 I've used an evo one (OK), an evo 2 (horrible PoS), skipped the three,
 and I use an evo 4 now, or whatever was the latest and greatest last year
 (the one with the sensitivity/speed leds) which is OK-ish at best in my
 book. At least the build quality isn't as embarrassing as the evo2, though
 still overly light and flimsy, but the MMB is excellent (left is weak and
 too light for me).

 I strongly encourage anyone who wants to take care of their wrists to
 alternate mice that have different angles and a pen if you can, either by
 rotation, or if you have something you will do frequently whichever fits
 best for that task for its duration.
 RSI requires repetition, cycling the stress through different parts of
 your arm throughout the day is the best action you can take, unless you
 have one very particular weakness and need to prioritize excluding that.

 My ideal angle remains around 50. Hold a pen or a pencil in a relaxed
 fashion, or just do light scribbling on a Wacom, and see where you land,
 chances are whatever has that angle will be your favourite mouse :)

 YMMV

 I have both, and I regret having spent the cash for an Evoluent.

 The Evo is also at too vertical an angle which for a lot of people, me
 included, means you have to oppose the clicks with your thumb strongly
 enough that you will get tension and cramps around it. The Anker doesn't
 have the issue.

 It's worth at the very least to try both and return the one you don't
 like.

 All in all the Evo is overrated. They were first, but their medical
 claims are sketchy at best, fully vertical is far from ideal for your
 wrist. The ideal is to alternate between pen and two angles of mouse
 throughout the day. It's what I do at home, and pen + evo at work.

I have always loved the Logitech MX18:
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Performance-Optical-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B0007Z1M50

The shape is very comfortable, resolution is adjustable from the hardware
(no drivers needed), the scroll is clicky (not that weighted smooth endless
scroll nonsense), middle mouse button is just a button (no sideways scroll
nonsense, no smooth/clicky scroll mode switch nonsense) and there's two
handy forward+backward buttons by the thumb area. It's just a good,
comfortable mouse.

I know nothing about Houdini, but what I would try first is remove objects

Once you have identified the problematic object see if there is anything  
you can change on it (like re-export from Maya with a slightly different  
hair count or segment count, or by splitting it up in two separate  
objects/hair clumps.


At least that's what I'd start with in case of total lack of other hints  
at the actual source of the problem.

Good luck!

Re: OT: Royalty free stock music?

Audiojungle has got me out of some horrible situations. The promo tunes
have an audio water mark, but you can quickly create a list and pass it to
the client without any wasting time or money. Cheap (comparatively) and
very effective.

 thought I would ask you guys where you get your stock music when you need
 it. Our music library is very small and honestly not that great (most of it
 doesn’t work well behind someone talking), and I really don’t feel like
 spending most of the day tomorrow trying to find the music, so I’m hoping
 you guys can help out with some good web sites or even CD collections.
