For those who don't know, Windows 7 is coming out on the 22nd of October. If I time it right, I can pull the whole "Frankenstein" act as I build the new computer I've been planning, putting off, replanning, putting on hold, waiting for a new OS (Vista does not make me happy), and finally planning again.

Normally I'm pretty patient about things like this, but my notebook (the computer I use for EVERYTHING [photoshop work included]) has just about reached the end of it's life cycle. It's served me well over the past five years (give or take a couple months), but it's just about time to retire it and get a replacement. Most would have already done so by now, but when I bought this one, it was one of the more powerful models and though no longer on par with many new machines today, it hung in there for a long time. I still laugh at some of the 'Wal-Mart' specials. This old clunker still has 'em out classed.

Got some of the fanart that was practically demanded in my previous poll in the works. Naturally I'll start with the fan service, but I'll get the comedy done soon. Got a joke lined up that ~Lord-Monkeyhawk helped me with in the planning. Just gotta get it drawn.

Still no recent word about Oddlots. If I don't hear anything by next week, I'm gonna bring the exclusive drawing over to this gallery. Not sure if ~jdeberge ever got to see it.

Crap - forgot to ask Magi the status of Oddlots (he has become a very VERY busy man). I'll probably hang out with Raven tomorrow and ask him.

Your assumption is correct... I rarely visited the art sections of Oddlots... so please, post away on dA!

Holy crap, a new Windows? I hope it's better than Vista -- it better be. xD

Frankenstein computers are the best. :heart:

From what I've read, while it was in the beta stage, Windows 7 was more stable than Vista was at release. I missed out on the open beta because I was snowed in at work back in Feb. My friends in low places couldn't help me out either.

My own little monster... with more HD space than I'll likely know what to do with. Goin' for terabytes. I'll have RAM and processing power out the wazoo too.

Artists can never have enough HD space. That's why I'm planning to build the system to have an array of drives. That way if I can store my stuff on a different drive than the OS and if I need more room, I can add more drives.

I don't know if you already heard from Raven, but our old buddy Rude13 told me last night that he'd received an email from the Oddlots server provider telling him they couldn't host us anymore.

Magi had Oddlots hosted on the server of one of his old employers for free.

So I guess the fate of Oddlots is up in the air... I dunno, I'm sure Raven will keep everyone posted.

I hadn't heard about it yet. From here I guess all we can do is wait.
