Artemis DevLog CH7

So, last week was semi eventful. I finally got around to fixing the algae problem in the waterloop. But as I was getting ready to shove another batch of renders to bake, I noticed the server was offline. Turns out one of the blocks cracked and leaked water onto the board, that or one of the capacitors blew. Some might say this is shitty timing, first the algae and now this. But I'm just glad it happened around the same time. As soon as I discovered the issue, I ordered a new board and had it shipped next day. Same goes for one of the fractured waterblocks.

This sounds like a lot has happened. And I'm sure there are some thinking "oh no, computer issues. Delays.". Nah, saw the issue with the motherboard and by noon I already had the part ordered. Then I just resumed working normally since my DAZ database is on the NAS. When the parts came in, I cleaned everything and got her back up and running in a few hours. So, if downtime was minimal why bring it up? Because this is a development log and these are things that happen and when they do, big or smol, I report them. I've said this before, but as weird and random as some issues sometimes are, they do come up. But I also am sure to bring the receipts when they do arise.

Anywho, once it all got back up and running. I queued up the files I worked on in the meantime to be rendered. This week, I'll be back in Blender for an animation. There's still a learning curve to it. Mainly textures but also the animation tools. Most know I hope to eventually transition off DAZ and develop things in Blender 100%. But there's still much to learn, so when I do better my skill, it's easy to fire up the scene again, update and re-render.

Remember to take your vitamins and this is your reminder to drink water. Be safe everyone.

PS - I switched from water in the waterloop to this stuff. Because German science is the world's finest. No, I'm not German. Yes, that was a JoJo reference.
