Ti Moute Posted December 19, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfree68f Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 How far South? We meet in Atlanta sometimes. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ti Moute Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share 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.

ddustin Posted December 21, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacman Posted December 21, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfree68f Posted January 10, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot, I drive through there a couple of times a month (avoiding Chattanooga). Going back through there on Thursday afternoon (1-20-05).

zandoriastudios Posted January 20, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacman Posted January 20, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddustin Posted January 20, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevenar Posted January 20, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddustin Posted January 20, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandoriastudios Posted January 21, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacman Posted January 22, 2005 Share 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.

Sacman Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Scratch that. The 5th is the weekend of my oldest son's birthday. Any other is okay though. Wade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfree68f Posted January 28, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfree68f Posted February 2, 2005 Share 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?

Sacman Posted February 3, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacman Posted February 8, 2005 Share 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.

ddustin Posted February 13, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfree68f Posted February 14, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevenar Posted May 31, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddustin Posted June 5, 2005 Share 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.
