So I suppose I'm back to semi-regular activity here...I've spent the past four months rendering and rerendering and getting caught up with new creations which sort of hinders the rendering of old pieces and and and and and...

(gotta catch my breath before I hyperventilate)

I got my new PC (customized Dell Inspiron 530s) so it's all easier now.

I can have Ultra Fractal and Apophysis open at the same time. I can have them rendering something large at the same time. I can have music on during rendering. I can even upload large images while everything else is going on. Why is this awesome? because on my old PC I couldn't render anything beyond 900x600 with Apophysis and Ultra Fractal made it freeze, restart or just plain shut off more often than not, even if it was the only thing open. I'm fairly sure it caught a virus that ate its memory mercilessly because that wasn't always the case. I'm just glad it's not totally dead yet because I'm still retrieving files from it.

Anywho, I'm getting caught up, which is nice. Photoshop no longer takes ten minutes just to open and my renders are getting finished with a good deal of regularity. Also, my husband has finally figured out our router so we can use the internet at the same time if so inclined.

I shan't be flooding your watchboxes with lots of deviations, just a few at a time (reason being that I still have a long ways to go with my Apo renders) but I really just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive, still lurking about.
