    you would think that after dealing with this sort of stuff for 38+ years i would know better... but alas that''s not the case. Cloud storage is the best solution now a days

    Damn, it's been a rough year!  I hope your LLC is successful, Paul.

    Thanks David! I've got six other people in this too, in many ways I'm more concerned for their futures. But it is what it is. The worst part of the year has been a catastophic disk crash that lost all of my current A:M work. Yup, that's right. The age old story of backing up and data loss. I shot myself in the foot on that one!

    Sorry to hear about the job dislocation, Paul!

    No recourse about that signed contract? Ouch!

    I at least was given 2 months of insurance and severance pay until end of December. But who ever says the job market is good and companies are hiring, I want what they are smoking.. because it has got to be some good Sh!t. Since August I have had only two interviews, tomorrow being a third for on position. And I'd like to think I am in a "senior" level IT level. Doesn't matter now a days.

  4. So, here I am. Thought I'd give an update since it has been nearly a year since I posted anything. Work truly got the better of me this year. The software company I worked for (Tibco) was part of a merger with Citrix, which in turn gave rise to Cloud Software Group (CSG). The new CEO of CSG, the hired hatchet man from the venture capital owners then decided that he didn't like consultants so started a quiet layoff in January under the guise of restructering bonus and payscales. Before we were eligible for quarterly bonuses, he changesd them to anual, tied to division performance and not individual performance. Basically encouraging managers to do more with less. Then in June he decided to sell of the consulting group entirely which led to layoffs in August. Me and my team, even though I had just got a quarter mill contract signed days before, were laid off on august 10th. I have been looking for a new gig since then without much luck. The folks I work with and I decided in September to form our own LLC, and from that Seamless Integration Group LLC was formed. We are now in the the beginning stages of developing a SaaS data quality and AI platform for the healthcare industry. To say I have been a bit stressed over paying the mortgage is an understatement. But I am still among the living, just not feeling as creative as I'd like to be.

  5. ok.. here's a question. I want to animate a string of binary text along the center spline of these arrows, each at different rates. What's the best way to do that?

    The string I want to move is this:

    01100010 01110101 01111001 00100000 01001111 01101101 01101110 01101001 01001000 01100101 01100001 01101100 01110100 01101000 00100000 01000100 01100001 01110100 01100001

  6. Roger.. if I made every penny I earned I could have retired years ago. But it is what it is.

    Robert.. Voice overs are certainly something I am working on. Next presentation I am mixing A:M animations into it... trying to build a quick gear like animation. I'm trying to breath life into something like this:

     

    What Is ETL And How the ETL process works?

  7. In my professional life as a software engineer I have been thrust into being responsible for pre-sales efforts for one of our products (mastering solution for healthcare). I need to put together a decent presentation of the capabilities of the product to first educated our own salesforce, and thought, 'whiteboard animation'. Came across doodly, but got turned off by reviews and warnings on the product. So begin to think about the animation product I know and love, A:M. Question is can it be workflowed to the point of producing a good presentation of say five minutes ... quickly and easily... thoughts? Ideas?

  8. Roger..if there were a better option I would take it.

     

    Shelton....I am working on a bit just to get back into the workflow... I do think I need a better rig...and perhaps the mo cap challenge from this summer is a good place for me to play around....

    The people who own the A.I. and robots will have more money and will very likely make even more money with them in future.
    The people who do not own something like that (the majority of people): What should they do? Do we get 60% unemployment rates or more? What will happen then?
