In General Discussions theres a thread (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30556) discussing which app they think will stay on top. Of course more favor Maya, unfortunately, but what's this talk about LightWave going under because of a struggle between Newtek and Luxology. I thought Luxology was just a site made by people who love LightWave and want to promote it. What do they have to do with LightWave's future?

I must have missed something.:shrug:

You did.

That's ok though -- LightWave is going good and strong.

No worries here.

For the most part, I was under the impression that Luxology was made up of people left in SF when Newtek pulled out of there. I'm not sure what exactly they do, I know they are looking for developers though.

oh, BTW...

Damn, you must live under a rock.

Luxology just gave out too much information on the development of Lightwave, and Newtek had to back-peddle (which only confused ppl. more).

What's strange is that we work with a guy from Norway, and even he makes jokes about Iowa.

I pulled into Des Moines one morning about 3 a.m., looked for a place to stay for the rest of the morning, there is not a frickin sign in sight in that town, no hiltons, no holiday inn nothin!!!,, no signs anywhere, pulled into a convience store and the guy tells me they have a signage ordinace in the town. I wound up driving out of town to find a roadside motel.

but then I live in AZ, when I moved here you could carry a side arm in holster into any store you wanted ( law since changed) but that took some getting use to also.

everywhere you live is odd.

You live in AZ, cool. I lived in Phoenix for five years. Met my wife there, even though she's from around here. I LOVE Arizona. I moved after a bullet flew through my apartment. I saw more death and violence there then I could take. Now I live on an acre of country land where it's nice a quite. Only problem now is when the cow farts waft our way.

Yea I got my rear window shot out one night on the freeway by a bunch O rednecks in a 55 chevy ,, as they wizzed by I could hear em laughing as I pulled off the freeway.

odd thing is when I called the cops in a panick , he tells me that if I ever find the bullet, give em a call back.

yep, odd no matter where you live!

The Australian version of the joke would be:

A) Did you hear about the new Australian Centre for Genetic Abnormalities?

B) No

A) They're calling it Tasmania.
