Ti Moute Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 I have been on the list for years and haven't heard of any meetings in south Georgia. Thought I would ask though, are there any user groups in the south Georgia area? Quote
cfree68f Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 How far South? We meet in Atlanta sometimes. C Quote
Ti Moute Posted December 20, 2004 Author Posted December 20, 2004 Pretty far south. About 60 miles from Florida. Atlanta is about a 180-200 mile trip for me each way. But the Atlanta group may be the closest group. Hopefully, someone will be in the Albany, Georgia area or the Tallahassee, Florida area. Thanks for the reply. Quote
ddustin Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 I live 60 miles North of Atlanta, and drive there every day. Could we do a users meeting in ATL? David Quote
Sacman Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 I'm in Chattanooga (Cleveland, TN actually) and I would love to gather round and talk about what I don't know. Wade There are a couple others around too. Odinseye I believe in Atlanta and Will Sutton a.k.a Zandoria here in Chattanooga. Quote
cfree68f Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Hope I'm not late with this. Yeah we can do a meeting soon. I usually provide the venue.. at IBM where I work. I'll see when my schedule looks good and we can get together again. C Quote
ddustin Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I'm in Chattanooga (Cleveland, TN actually) and I would love to gather round and talk about what I don't know. Wade Cleveland??? Shoot, I drive through there a couple of times a month (avoiding Chattanooga). Going back through there on Thursday afternoon (1-20-05). David Quote
zandoriastudios Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I'm up for another meeting--it is usually lots of fun, everybody showing-off their secret techniques! February 12th is good for me. Wade, let me know if you want to carpool down to Atlanta Quote
Sacman Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I can do February 12th. If we can set it up, we should definitely carpool. I don't have any secret techniques unless you count the cuss words that I use. I would like t0 talk about game programming stuff though. I did however, get a laptop which is pretty sweet. It is one of the leftovers here at work and is not even remotely close to what I wanted but, they could have said no. So I am happy with it. 800Mhz Sony Vaio AMD something or other with only 128MB ram. I don't even know what the vid card is. I am afraid to find out. It is loaded down with every bit of software development software I own though and serving that purpose nicely. Anyway.....definitely up for Feb12 Let me know Wade Quote
ddustin Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I can do Feb 12th as far as my schedule sits today. Wade and Will, If you drive to exit 306 (Adarisville) on I75, I can drive the rest of the way to Atlanta. You can either leave your car at my house or one of the restaraunts at that exit. What time of day should the group meet in Atlanta? Looking forward to meeting you all. David Quote
Sevenar Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Rats. I've got a birthday party for my granddaughter on the 12th. I don't suppose we could make it the 5th or the 19th? Quote
ddustin Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 My wifes birthday is the 20th so I have to be careful. But right now, I could accomodate you. I think Colin indicated he was free on the 12th. Otherwise I think Grand daughters win out. David Quote
zandoriastudios Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 The IBM building is north of Atlanta, a little. I forget the exit number, but I will find the directions from Colin and post them, soon as I hear that date is good... Quote
Sacman Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 I can adjust to any weekend. If we would rather shift to the 5th or 19th, just let me know. My wife's cousin owns an H&R Block in Knoxville and sometime soon we will need to go up to get our taxes done. So I will need to work that into the mix. Just waiting on my house statement. Wade Quote
Sacman Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Scratch that. The 5th is the weekend of my oldest son's birthday. Any other is okay though. Wade Quote
ddustin Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Scratch that. The 5th is the weekend of my oldest son's birthday. Any other is okay though. Wade So......... Have we decided to meet in Feb? Quote
cfree68f Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 February 12th.. still working on a location. I'll find a cool place or we'll default to my house.. Don't want to do it at IBM.. too boring. Bring your Laptops... I'll post a thread as to were and time when I think about it a little more. Colin Quote
cfree68f Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Ok.. We are on for the 12th. At Barnes and Noble on Dallas Hwy. Its only a mile away from my house.. so thats the backup. Here is a map to the meeting. http://www.colins-loft.net/free/usergroup/...ble-from-75.gif Lets plan on meeting at noon. Unless you guys have a better time. Bring your laptops if you've got them (batteries charged). Theres a starbucks there and some restaurants we can eat at after the meeting if you guys want. I'd like to get a head count so we can move it if the size of the group gets to big. And in case I decide to put something together for those that showup. No promises. So who's coming? Colin Quote
ddustin Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Colin, Count me in. If I can convince my 14 year old (just starting in AM) there will be 2. David Quote
Sacman Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 I'm in! Will, I believe I have your phone number in an email somewhere, I will give you a call this weekend or early next week. We should ride together. If my car is not in the shop getting my road gator damage fixed, we can cruise in the Mini. If it is in the shop my other option is a piece of crap 95' Ford Ranger (this is ultimately my son's car if he would ever make a decent grade, he turns 17 today, my wife will not let me have her Sorento). So if that is the case, you can drive. Wade Quote
zandoriastudios Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Cool--I'll PM you my number, in case you can't find it. We can go in my Jeep if you like Quote
Sevenar Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 What time? EDIT: D'oh! Noon = 12:00pm. Sev = blind. Quote
gsellis Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Checking on my schedule (may have a planned activity) with the keeper of the calendar. I might want to come as it would be just nice as a newer user to watch some folks who use it more that I do. Coming from Suwanee (GA). Edit - I am going. Quote
cfree68f Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 So it looks like... Me William Sutton gsellis Sacman ddustin maybe... Sevener Newbert_Zero J Anyone else? C Quote
Sevenar Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 You can move me to "Probably" now. Granddaughter's birthday party is later that afternoon, so I should be able to make it. Quote
zandoriastudios Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 REMINDER! It is this Saturday! Sacman, call me about carpool! 423-899-five four zero eight Quote
Sacman Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Will, i will call you tomorrow. I have quite a few PDF books that I got from a programmer friend. Even if you are not making your own game engine, some of the info is great from a design standpoint. I will pick out the best and most appropriate and burn them for you. Makes for some good brain ache reading while the wife is watching Desperate Housewives or whatever. Man am I glad my wife doesn't watch that show. Wade Quote
ddustin Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 Just a quick note to all from the Atlanta Users Group (man that sounds like therapy). I was great to meet all of you in Marietta, now there are faces to go with the forum names. Sorry I had to bale at the end while you were all snacking, but the fam was waiting for me to treat them (they really just wanted me to pay for it) to an early dinner. There is trully some great tallent in the Atlanta group. WOW. Thanks, David Quote
Sevenar Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 ddustin is right--we've got some extremely talented folks in the GA/TN area. Definitely worth the trip! Quote
cfree68f Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Hey thanks for coming guys. I'm pretty amazed at the talent in our area as well. C Quote
ChrisThom Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Can you give a synopsis of what happened, who was there, etc? Hopefully is you have the next on in Chatt I can try ot make it there. Quote
cfree68f Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 hmmm, What happened? well first lets talk about who was there. Will Sutton, J (middleguy) Griffon, David Dustin, Wade Sacca, Sevenar, gsellis, and me. Will gave out copies of his Kong model. I gave Wade Sacca a copy of Jeff Lew's Learning 3d character Animation DVD. I showed what I'd been doing for the last year and a half. I also gave a peek at my Mechanical Contest entry. Showed some stuff about the rigging tutorials I'm working on. J showed some peices from his short he's working on (which was very cool). There was lots of talk about AM and what you can and can't do with it.. More can than can't. Went on for about 2 hours, then we went and ate burritos at a burrito joint close by. Did I leave anything out guys? C Quote
Sevenar Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Isn't it about time we thought of doing this one again? Quote
cfree68f Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 I'm game. back from my multiple vacations. Start throwing out some dates and times. Do we want to do the same place or somewhere new? C Quote
Sevenar Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 How about June 25th? That's the weekend after Father's Day. The location doesn't really matter to me. The previous place is fine, or maybe someplace a bit less busy. Quote
Sevenar Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 I just wonder if the user groups forum might be of more widespread use if it were higher up on the main page...? Quote
cfree68f Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Let me check with my wife to make sure she's not working that day. If she is.. I'll throw out a date and see if it sticks. C Quote
ddustin Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 Count me in when you decide on a date, I'll work around it. The busy area didn't bother me, but I wish there was more table space. All the geeks with laptops take up a lot of room. David Quote
cfree68f Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Have to be in July. Christi is Working the weekend we'd planned on. How bout the weekend after the 4th? C Quote
Karl Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 How bout the weekend after the 4th? I can try to make it down from DC... Any non-holiday weekend is fine by me! Quote
OdinsEye2k Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 If I'm not on travel, I can certainly try to make it. Been meaning to meet some of you folks for quite some time. Quote
cfree68f Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Lets shoot for the weekend after the 4th then. Let me think about location. Most liked where we met last time.. but I may be able to do better. C Quote
zandoriastudios Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 How bout the weekend after the 4th? I can try to make it down from DC... Any non-holiday weekend is fine by me! Holy crap--that is a long way to go for one of these get togethers! Quote
Karl Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Holy crap--that is a long way to go for one of these get togethers! Heck, if you're going to be there I'd go - I just want to meet the guy I keep writing all these checks to! Quote
