Two Steps Forward - One Step Back

I had to smile this afternoon when I discoverer (or at least realized) that I was once again shadowless. So much for good intentions and high profile computers *wink*. I did my homework, asked a lot of questions and still find that pristine shadows will not be part of my bag of tricks in the near future. It seems that I have purchased a computer that is "too good" (oh my). It never even entered my mind.

I can have lovely clear pictures. I can have shadows that come with ragged edges to objects. I do not seem to be able to have both clean edges and cast shadows. While I have an experiment planned for the morrow, I did want to document the possible issue for those of you that may be getting a new computer or will NEED to get one unexpectedly (it happens; we know).  My new, I really do love it, computer is Windows 7 - 64 bit. And that appears to be the issue. I have compared notes with a few folks running the same system and we have identical problems -- at least in Kirsten's viewer. It is an either / or type of thing which seems to be linked to that 64 bit part of the equation. I noted that the official Labs viewer says that it is ONLY for 32 bit applications, and since the alternate viewers are using their base code ----- Hmmm.

So perhaps the world will catch up to me in a few months. I hope so.  Meanwhile I have great speed and fluidity and I am a pretty happy gal -- even sans shadows. There are some issues on the older viewers also. Imprudence will no longer load my integrated AO -- so I now, for the first time in over a year, have a AO interface as a hud (oh my!).

That's the techie news of the evening. The FASHION news is this cute white kimono from Sassy Kitty Designs which is available at Project Fur. It has a very nice bow in the back and comes in many layers.


Here is a little addendum. I have spent well over ten minutes trying to send a message to the designer featured in this post. LL is making it more difficult all the time. Now search (as of this eve it seems) no longer let's you look for "people"? It is built into the destinations tab. I have ALWAYS sent notes to people featured on this blog. That may not be happening in the future. Don't blame me -- blame them!

And with that -- have a good eve :D.
