    You WIll Need To Reset Your Password!!!

    We just moved hosts on this system, and this has caused a few updates. One is the way we encode and store the encoded passwords.

    Your old passwords will NOT work. You will need to reset your password. This is normal. Just click on reset password from the log in screen. Should be smooth as silk to do...

    Sorry for the hassle.

    Other Side Of Maleficent

    I have been looking forward to Maleficent with equal amounts of anticipation and dread. On one hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, so cold and so pure, and I want desperately to see more of her and her back-story. On the other hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, and I would hate to see her parodied, taken lightly or ultimately destroyed in a film that does not understand this great character. The good news is that this film almost gets it right; but that is also the bad news.

    The follow up to Disney’s 2013 Academy Award Winning short Paperman has been announced, and it will premiere at France’s Annecy International Animated Film Festival. Titled The Feast, the short looks to be based on the same stylized CG techniques used on last years Paperman, a more natural and hand-drawn look to computer animation.

    Renegades of Animation: Pat Sullivan

    Pat Sullivan became famous worldwide for his creation of Felix the Cat. What most animation histories gloss over is Sullivan’s checkered past and longtime standing as a wildcat renegade. He didn’t follow the rules. And he made damn sure to fully protect his intellectual properties.

    Well, I have gotten the bug, and decided to do some upgrading to our webservers. I just received in a new MySQL server, this time built at icc-usa. For those of you with long memories, you may remember I built the last one... and tore a ligiment in my finger in the process. Not this time! I got it pre-built this time.

    I got this model:

    So, we will be going from a 32 bit to 64 bit processor. From a 4-drive RAID 5 IDE array to a six-drive SATA II array. Drives are all hot-swap, and the whole things is 1/2 the originals size.

    So, what does this mean to you, the user? Hopefully, just a faster site. But the current server does seem to be a bit buggy- it went down yesterday at 9 AM for 20 minutes or so- I hope this will be a thing of the past. (In fact, when it went down yesterday, I was just happy to know the new server was just hours away fro delivery!)

    So, I will need a few days to install the OS, and tweak that out. I will build a custom KERNEL, and test that. If all goes well, I should install it next week.

    I expect there will be some down time. I do not know how much. I will do as much as I can w/o taking things down. But I think the switch over will entail me upgrading the MySQL clients on the web servers, and tweaking them a bit. So it could be an hour or more- sorry!

    Hopefully, it will be pretty clean.
