too, sure.Really.
I got tech tip of the month from Graphisoft for my zone stamp/magic wand thing.
Move everything to the new domain, check.
Convert all the links to the new Movable Type name instead of number format, check.
Convert everything to php, cuz that's what all the coolkids are doing, check.
Strip down the old site and put in the auto-redirect code, check.
Make that welcome post stick to the top, check.
Notice that, while the site is nicely spruced up, some of the actual info is showing its age, so renovate the standards posts about pens and layers, check.
Pat self on back for pen table graphic, check. Fantasize about developing some rollover map of the pen table where you hover over a tile and it shows the weight and color, and hover over a region name and it highlights the region or something, settle for animated gif, check. That would be cool though.
Unchecked: Those !@#$% workflow posts about the new plotter.
Ignore this.

I've been fooling around with the site here. Does it look different?
I made two concrete improvements you might appreciate.
In the lower right corner of each post you will find a link that reads, "Printy". Click it and you will get a printer-friendly version of the post, with a white background and all the navigation junk stripped out.
In the sidebar there's a 'Recent Objects' box, with links to recent object-related posts. Library changes are important, so I'm making them harder to miss.
The category Library Development is where I try to document how my objects and libraries are put together. As such, it is of virtually no value to you, and precious little interest. Feel free to ignore it.
Over there on the side is a division for 'Current Versions'. These are the versions of OS X and ArchiCAD you should be running. If you're not, then run Software Update and check the onion for ArchiCAD updaters.
A thorough going over for the existing/addition template complex, which really needed it. Let me know what you think, since I don't work on additions much.
All the posts in the Objects category have the location given at the beginning, for your convenience. Unless noted otherwise, the location is the R&D Library, Master LIB 8 : 1 Rill & Decker LIB8.
I have added a link to the links list over there for the Graphisoft Archiguide. It strives to be their technical knowledge base. It's worth checking out.
Over there under LINKS is a link to ArchiCAD-Talk. This is the main user discussion board for all things related to our chosen lifestyle. If you have a question I can't answer, poke around in there. If something isn't known to someone on this board, it isn't known. You must register in order to post, but you can browse and search anonymously.
This is the official announcement.
At this moment there are 8.0 and 8.1 project templates in the zTemplate folder; kindly ignore the 8.0 ones until Monday.
Feel free to review these posts:
...along with any others that strike yer fancy.
I have removed the modules from the zTemplate folder and placed them at 3 Resources : Modules. Please get them there, even if you have them in your project folder, as they will be more current.
Rilldeck is now officially 'inoperative.'
Everyone is now running from the new server, 'Nature.' Even if you don't know you are.
A summary of the changes, non-changes, improvements, and your (!) responsibilities.
Please pardon the interruption.
Our new web hosting service was a little 'non-foot-dragging-challenged' with respect to getting everything working for my little noisemaker here.
They tried to stop me. But they can't! They can't stop me! They can, however, slow me way, way down. So I look stopped.
Now I'm going again.

Once you've saved the project file with the project name, please delete the template PLN. If you saved before saving as, delete the template's BPN. Also, if you're working on a new home, delete the addition template and vice versa. In quantity, these take up a lot of space.

The backup routine ("Retrospect", you've seen the warnings) runs at night. If the machine is on.
We are set up to back up everyone's home directory around midnight. After that, you can come in and power down the machine.
In the sidebar of this page you will find a Downloads division, and under that a Template link, by which you can download the current zTemplate folder in Stuffit format.
In my latest attempt to not 1) expect everyone to remember everything, 2) expect myself to remember to tell everyone everything, 3) talk 9 hrs/day, I have begun this website.
