The problem with my broadband internet... Data limits. I've burned through most of my allocation for the month getting my new computer up to speed, and doing some work from home over a VPN.
Cant afford the 3.2 Megabytes a minute Livestreaming eats up... I'm that close, and I don't get my new data allowance until the 6th of June.
Seriously... I never thought I'd use up 70GB offpeak and 50GB peak in a month. I have 13 days left, and only 20GB left...
In other news... I will be on travel for most of the next month. I will be home on occasion, but most of the month will be in hotel rooms.
That said, I now have SAI on my new laptop, and that is traveling with me... I just cant add new sketches to work on while I am away from home. so, this weekend will be spent sketching our things I will digitize in the evenings when I am on travel.

My life following the path of one of my stories
For those who've watched me for awhile, I once started a story about a pony who owned an airship from an earlier time, and struggled to take it on a epic journey.
The Denver is a navy ship from an earlier era, which the navy has been ready to retire for several years. And I'm about to take her on an epic journey, wether she wants to go or not.
I love my full bodied girl, but she can sure be stubborn at times. Some of her mechanical difficulties have been... Amazing is the only way I can explain it.
I wonder if its natural for a XO to talk about his ship like a significant other.
Hope my wife doesn't read this, she might think I'm cheat
Executive Officers Log, 7 July 2013
I've been in the job for just over a week. It's awesome.
Where to begin... We sailed into Tokyo harbor with a crew that had been sitting pier side for seven months, had some difficulties with some fishing boats, but came out unscathed.
We sat at anchor for a few days in Sasebo on loading cargo, and right before we were to go pier side, we had a problem that made us go cold and dark. Got that fixed, but out trip pier side was made with far less equipment running than we are used to.
The Captain has been letting me drive for the really hard stuff, and I haven't let him down yet
I am different from the guy in the job before me, and ther
Anchors Aweigh
Well, I'm off. Next stop Japan and my ship, then Underway for adventures in the South West Pacific.
For those who are curious, I am going to be XO of the oldest active Amphibious ship in the US Navy. It's stationed in Japan, and the ship has a Vietnam combat Ribbon.
Any guesses on the ship?
I will be mostly incommunicado for the next several months, since DA is not on the list of sites I can browse from the ship. I may be able to get on during port visits, but dont be upset if it takes me a while to reply to messages.
I have a project I am working on. Hopefully I can finish it on the deployment.

Looking to explore animations, any suggestions
All,
I'm looking to explore creating animations. Does anyone have any suggestions for software (or set of software) that is relatively easy to use, and not too expensive (a few hundred dollars or so. Given my position, I cannot use pirated software). I'm looking to create puppets and use them for both animations and artwork.
I'm looking for a project to work on during my job as XO to help me decompress from the day. animation seems like something interesting enough to fit the bill.
I'm back in Sasebo in 1 week, and take over as XO of my ship in about 3 weeks. oh, I deploy in 2 weeks.

A shame.
I was going to probably attend that livestream, too! Tomorrow's forecast up here called for mostly cloudy skies with a chance of showers and thundershowers, so no golf.
I guess I should feel fortunate that my ISP didn't put a cap on 'net usage.
