Computers......

It's been a battle these past two and a half weeks. Technology has me in it's grip - and is squeezing, hard. I've crashed my computer 4 times already [problem #1]with loading way too much into the processor, and I've already spent all night here last Thursday fighting with a 3d digital model which had a tiny seam in it that I couldn't close. After 29 hours at my desk I finally managed to force it to give me this response:

Joining these edges requires a joining tolerance of 0.000921967mm. Do you want to continue? YES/NO

I clicked yes.

The wireless internet in the building has been...temperamental to say the least, so temperamental that I'm using the few school computers there are to write this as I can't connect at my desk for more than a few minutes at best[problem #2].
I saw an opportunity to take an advanced elective this fall and along with my friend Luke we are wading into the world of Advanced Computer Applications in Architecture. This includes 3d scanners, 3d printers, cnc routers, and parametric modeling.

The parametric modeling is proving to be fascinating and time consuming all at once. I haven't really explored the program yet but it does cripple my computer with it's graphics [problem#3].
I think I need to call the unofficial tech guy for our family and see what can be done, cause what I have now isn't working.
