oh! thanks for this post, Boni!!

can we sticky it? i've an extra thumbtack if needed... hehe

Link doesn't work. Gives me a 404 error.

All fixed Jenn!

Thanks

For those of you who can't - or won't - visit the link, here is a quick summary:

First thing is, you need to roll up the left leg of your jeans/pants/trousers, or, if you're wearing tights/stockings/pantyhose, cut off the left leg, then put your left foot in a bowl of custard.

Make sure you are facing north, holding a freshly plucked chicken in your right hand. Vegans can substitute an artichoke, or at a pinch, kohlrabi.

Using only the index finger of your right hand, initiate the download and follow all the prompts, even if they don't apply to your system.

After 30 minutes, sprinkle your keyboard and monitor - but absolutely not - your computer with 4 ounces of rock salt. If you have a render farm, use ground black pepper, rather than salt.

Wait for sunrise.

At sunrise, ensure you're naked, standing outside your front door, painted head to toe in woad. This won't do anything much but at least you'll have a few hours of amusement explaining to the local law enforcement, while your new Poser installation updates.

Finally, smear unsalted butter all over your desk and hop around your room on one foot. Any foot will do. Make sure you hop for at least 20 minutes, but no more than 23.

That should take care of everything.

SamTherapy ?

The man has a sense of humor, no question about it.

Laugh all you like. It worked for me. Can't say South Yorkshire Police were too impressed with the woad thing but you can't win 'em all.

I think it was probably the blue arse prints I left on their seats that did it.

What is woad?

Must be a British thing.

A flowering plant, from which blue dye used to be obtained. Famed for thought to be an ancient battle-paint.

If you've seen Braveheart, you've seen woad (even tho the Scottish didn't use woad face paint - at least not at that time in history, anyway). It's what they painted their faces with :)

Good one SamT :P

Example from the 2004 King Arthur:

"Father, how much woad should I use?"

"Keep right on till the end of the Woad, lad."

(Ancient British joke as recorded by Julius Caesar)

So make it one for my baby And one more for the woad.

As for painting meself blue, Claire gave me a lot worse of a time than the police did. "Oi, get your big blue arse off my clean chair, you great numpty!" was the least bad of everything she said. There were lots of very short words, prefaced with things like "stupid", "gormless" and "idiotic".

sigh The things we do for Poser.

Still beats dancing naked in the rain during a lunar eclipse ;) Depending on the time of year, you can freeze your nuggies.

Oh. Now you tell me...

I'm short on woad. Long story... Crazy party. Can I get some from amazon? o.O

I tried to open Poser only to get the "you gotta be on the interwebs to activate the license thingy".

So how do I get the permanent license? I spend too much time at sea with no internet access for my laptop to have to call home every time I want to use it...

From what I understand, you only have to be online for the one time you activate it. My internet rolled over and died a few times since activation but Poser opened and ran without a problem.

Not entirely accurate, I think: Thread on permanent activation and phone home

In any event, plenty of woad helps.

Thanks for the woad info - I'm probably the only person in my state who knows that now :)

I was online the first time I opened it. Then I let it sit for a few days because I was too busy with real life to get back into it. By the time I had time to open Poser, my ship had gotten underway and I had no internet access. And I got that message.
