I'll take your word on it. Digital video is dizzyingly complex with various 
different containers, video formats, encodings, audio formats, encodings, etc. 
I don't have time to suss it all out at the moment; the fact I can output 
something usable that plays in (seemingly) the same resolution as I upload it 
is okay by me until I know better. 

I'd love to get more into motion work, but not until I retire from my current 
career (which may be quite soon … :-). The SL has some nice motion capture 
capabilities and I'd love to explore them further.

Oh, alright then, Shakespeare said 'cup of their deservings', but cap seems

PESO - Love Blossoms

[Rick Womer]

The background is one of the two LOVE sculptures by Robert Indiana in Philly. 
This one is on the Penn campus, the other is downtown.

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18213320

(K-5, DA 40/2.8 Ltd.)

(Yes, I wish the blossoms were facing the other way, too. I liked the colors.)

The LOVE sculpture, shot by someone else:

Comments (other than the direction the blossoms are facing) welcomed.

Re: OT: Advice wanted for Antivirus/Firewall (Windows 10)

[John]

McAfee & Norton-Symantec seem to install something extra in their
software that makes them particularly difficult to get rid of. The
problem isn't with AVG, it's with McAfee (and Norton-Symantec).

This site claims AVG does have offline installers, they're just hard to
find. It has links.

https://www.techmesto.com/avg-2015-offline-installer-standalone/

In addition to anti-virus software, I use a HOSTS file to block unwanted
sites.

For firewall, I've been relying on the firewall built into my router.

and the advice from their forums is for me to remove McAfee
before trying to install AVG.  I might be prepared to do
this, were it not for two issues: 1) several people who have
tried this report that it still doesn't work, and 2) since
AVG installs via a network download (rather than allowing me
to create a standalone install package first, then disconnect
from the internet) I'd have to have an unprotected machine
with a live internet connection during the install, with no
guarantee that I'd end up with a successful installation.
Given that, and the lack of response from AVG support,
I'm looking for an alternative solution.

I've asked a few people I know for recommendations, and I've
been pointed to either Kaspersky or Avast as good products.
Nobody, however, seemed to think that relying on the McAfee
product was a particularly good idea.

Would anyone care to weigh in on the subject, and let me know
what they would recommend for someone in my situation?

For an album cover, go with 20160403-LRC12120

She has a real "girl next door" look about her. 11675 would be my choice
of the three with the guitar,and since I'm a sucker for pretty girls in
hats, my other choices would be 30276 and 30313.

12338 is a cute pose but the seat of the stool doesn't show (at least on
my monitor) and it looks like she's somehow floating.


Thanks for the heads up. I just dodged the visible bit of the stool seat
a bit to make it more visible.

Thanks a bunch for the helpful feedback, and of course the kind words.

G'day all,

One of the more interesting recent galleries

Most went for a literal interpretation (Ken didn't even need to leave

theme differently.

Dan and Malcolm used 'a fork in the road of life' in their submissions
while Phillip found a nautical interpretation and Paul went down the
architectural route.  Then there's Igor's 'Choosing Slowly', which
certainly expands the boundaries of the theme.

Overall, my favourite is Henk's 'Traveller' narrowly ahead of Ken's
'Pitchin Michigan'.

As usual you'll find the gallery here:

Re: OT: Advice wanted for Antivirus/Firewall (Windows 10)

[Philip Northeast]

I found that Avast and malwares bytes are good.

But this should not lull you into a sense of false security. Malware and 
viruses can often spread faster than companies can update their systems.

Windows 10 firewall and defender have a good reputation as well.

Often attacks are spread by impersonating reputable organisations and 
convincing the user to download a file or to fill in a form with 
personal information. No security software can prevent this.


One issue is ransomware that encrypts you data files and demands money 
for the key to unlock them. The recommended practice is to have 
versioned backups of your data as a single backup may be encrypted as 
well.


So whatever software you use be careful.

For the last heaven knows how many years we've used AVG
Internet Security on all our home systems, but I'm less
than happy with trying to get AVG up and running on this
new system.  HP, in their infinite wisdom, installed a
trial version of McAfee's competing product on the machine,
and AVG fails when it tries to install itself in place of
the McAfee product.  AVG support seems to be unresponsive,
and the advice from their forums is for me to remove McAfee
before trying to install AVG.  I might be prepared to do
this, were it not for two issues: 1) several people who have
tried this report that it still doesn't work, and 2) since
AVG installs via a network download (rather than allowing me
to create a standalone install package first, then disconnect
from the internet) I'd have to have an unprotected machine
with a live internet connection during the install, with no
guarantee that I'd end up with a successful installation.
Given that, and the lack of response from AVG support,
I'm looking for an alternative solution.

I've asked a few people I know for recommendations, and I've
been pointed to either Kaspersky or Avast as good products.
Nobody, however, seemed to think that relying on the McAfee
product was a particularly good idea.

Would anyone care to weigh in on the subject, and let me know
what they would recommend for someone in my situation?

Re: PESO: Bananas!

[David Mann]

I liked seeing banana trees on a couple of our holidays.  Our climate is far 
too cold for them but they're a very popular fruit in this country.  They're 
imported mostly from Ecuador or the Phillipines and the ripening process tends 
to vary a bit.

A couple of years ago there was a problem with one of the ships and we ended up 
with some bananas with Russian stickers on them.

Cheers,
Dave

Advice wanted for Antivirus/Firewall (Windows 10)

[Bipin Gupta]

Hello John, I tried all the Free AV stuff you mention + some more. So
I removed all of them including Symantec or something that came
bundled with my Toshiba 4K laptop running Windows 10. I also removed
Spybot Search & Destroy as I read online that it shuts down Microsoft
AV & Firewall.

So you guessed it right now, I downloaded the Free Windows Defender
from the Microsoft Web Site. Along with Windows Firewall that came
pre-loaded with Windows 10. They are both doing a great job.

Microsoft even added a right click link on any file to scan it for
viruses. And it automatically updates itself daily without fail.

Give it a trial without biasing yourself from internet reads.

Regards.
Bipin
