Let’s not forget the archaic search engine that has needed replaced for years now.

I’m pretty sure a good programmer could knock that out in a couple weeks. The search data is already in the database, it just needs to be made visible to the user so they can narrow a search.

I’m sort of indifferent on the change. I would like to see it dropped below the author’s name and sales/comments sections though. It looks out of place where it is now and is just too big.

Right now it is front and center and since it is at the top, it demands the most attention. In reality though, I think the ratings are secondary to most buyers. Dropping it down the hierarchy would diminish its prominence a bit.

It’s been a bizarre month. Through April 9th I was on a record breaking pace but since then it has been slow. The bundle probably had something to do with it if we all saw drops in sales during the same time.

The buffering is painfully slow right now. That can’t be helping any of us :(

I think it has to do with how easy it is to directly copy a work instead of expanding upon an idea. They look at it as a much easier, and likely way to make money. I’ll quote the psychologist and author Alfie Kohn on this issue:

|| Kohn reports that at least 10 studies show rewards work best on simplistic and predictable tasks. However, what about more creative ones? In research on preschoolers (working for toys), older children (working for grades) and adults (working for money), they all avoided challenging tasks. The bigger the reward(money), the easier the task that is chosen; while without rewards, human beings are more likely to accept a challenge.

January is going okay, not great like December.

It didn’t help that I just bought 3 Wordpress themes either :)

I had a very good October that continued into the first two weeks of November. The last 7 days or so have been pretty poor. With a holiday week coming up in the U.S. it will probably stay that way.

That looks pretty solid.

The only thing I would add is an SSD for your main drive to run windows and your main programs. Then you can use the 1tb drive as your main storage. An SSD is night and day from a regular hard drive. Also if you can squeeze 16gb more RAM in there for a total of 32gb that would be noticeable too especially when working on complex scenes.

That may put you a little over the $700 but I would say it is worth it.

Maybe it will be fully compatible with Element in 3D space?
