To make things clear so that nobody has misunderstanding, I was offended by the idea that somebody thinks that I am such a fickle that 6 months are enough to make me swallow up offences. I assumed that pointing out my heritage would be enough, but apparently this suggestion was too subtle for the average audience.

In mid 1970's (right, we are talking about 35 years ago) I had serious problems at school. I was a textbook example of nerd (eyeglasses, clumsy, with marks always in the upper 10% range of the class) and therefore all the lowlives with whom I had to spend 4 hours per day went after me. In 1997 (13 years ago, more than 20 years after the events) I, by chance, met one of my tormentors. This bloody bitch recognized me and had the impudence of telling me "hi, I'm Ginetta, do you remember me?" Yes, I DID remember her. It would have been a perfect occasion to tell her what I thought of her, but, unfortunately, she was a public official and there were people (read potential witnesses) nearby so all I could do was to send her a stare full of hate, not willing to get into legal troubles. After 13 years, I still feel all the rage in not being able to vent all my despise for her.

So you are expecting me to forget and forgive just after 6 months? Sorry, but even 35 years are not enough for me.

Going back to 3D, the new Blender interface makes it usable and this cannot but improve its penetration in the professional/studios market, harming sales of other programs (Vue Infinite included). In addition, Blender is also forcing firms like DAZ to add features that they could have not developed like Bryce 7 painted ecosystems and instancing, something which cannot but affect negatively E-On sales in the hobbyist market segment. Mine was just some evil gloating w.r.t. E-On financial outlook, nothing else.

Am I interested in whom you wake up with? no. Am I interested in what you wake up with? neither. Am I interested in whether you do wake up at all? even less.

in the best Dragnet tradition, here are some info about some of my tormentors:

1. one got into crime. His second-to-last mistake was to team up with a multiple killer. His last one was to quarrel with him for the loot. Hogtied. Dead.
2. another one got into drugs. Overdose. As above.
3. a third was (the best friend of the above mentioned bitch) became a drug addicted prostitute. I know nothing more of her, but AFAIK drug addicted whores don't last long.
