Deviation Actions
Well, judging by the long delays in updates for my gallery, you can tell that art progressing isn't one of the things really happening in my life.
This is mostly because I'm on holiday, and although I've got my drawing stuff with me, the fact that my living quarters aren't exactly stable makes it hard. I'm on a canal boat, as the photo I added earlier demonstrates.
I do want to get my WIP drawings going again, but it's not going to happen fast. I've always got a lot of projects on (I've been penning a tabletop gaming supplement and coding a trajectory simulator, amongst other smaller things), so each individual one moves somewhat sporadically.
Anyway, I've got mobile broadband, so things are alright. I've used that connection to sort my gallery into basic categories: Uncoloured drawing, Colour drawing, Photography, Metalwork and Sculpture.
Nothing special, and something I should have done earlier, but it's now there to act as a basic filtering method for those people who want it.
I'll try and get my gallery active again sometime soon. Thanks to anyone who's got the patience to hang around to read this.
Ragnarok out.

Problematic Collections
Well, despite having posted about it in the past, and now specifically noting that those characters are intended as minors in my deviation descriptions, I'm still getting users adding renders of my adolescent characters to what I can only reasonably describe as fetish collections. While I'm tolerant (although definitely not happy*) about where my adult characters get collected, there's definitely material I can't** and won't abide by characters I intend as minors ending up alongside. (Artistic nudity is borderline tolerable, but stuff like women being been photoshopped to have vaginas for faces or depictions of sexual assualt are not). When this happens, I have no choice really but to block the user in order to remove my works from their gallery. And, yes, that also applies to people who are following my work - I've had to boot several watchers even just recently. With that in mind, I would ask that any of my watchers who do have... we'll call it "broad tastes" in their content...
System upgrade
This is slightly late news, but my very overstretched GTX 1650 is being taken off rendering duty... Yes, I was actually able to get an RTX 3060 on launch day - and no, I didn't pay a scalper for it. This one came via Scan UK, although it took careful syncing of clocks to make sure I could add it to my basket and purchase as soon as possible after the 5pm UK launch time. It might be the least powerful of the 30 series so far, but it may well prove to be the stand-out Iray rendering card of this generation (even if reviewers are less enthusiastic about its gaming performance). In terms of benchmarks for Iray rendering, it's nearly a match for the flagship RTX 2080 Ti of the last generation - and, due to some odd decision making by NVidia, it's got more VRAM than any higher model other than the 3090 (which was kind of out of my budget), which is a key resource as far as how many assets can be fitted into a render. Either way, even if it's not the most powerful card in the range, it
I seem to have been tagged...
Okay, I got tagged by ~gorgonbreath (https://www.deviantart.com/gorgonbreath)
So, eight things about myself:
1) I'm a strict vegetarian.
2) I once held the record at my Army Cadet detachment for target shooting. (Heck, I may still - I haven't exactly been kept up to date on the matter.)
3) I love the TV series Firefly.
4) I was once awake for 62 consecutive hours. My advice is "Don't".
5) I can (sort of) play the trumpet.
6) I have never been to a country outside Europe.
7) I can't think of anything to go here.
8) I once gave a talk on how not to lose Noughts and Crosses (or Tic-Tac-Toe, if you prefer that name).
9) My physics teacher declared me the most dangerous stu
The work of James Harry Castell
Okay, if you've just opened this journal, you'll probably have no idea who James Harry Castell is.
Well, I'll tell you as much as there's supposed to be a link to him on Wikipedia, but evidently, he's not notable enough and it's been removed.
So, I'll have to tell you.
James Harry Castell (1880-1953) founded Castell Safety International and invented trapped key interlocking, which can be found in many products, and in some ways is a precursor to the famous Murphy's Law (In it's original form: "If it can it can be mis-operated, someone will do it") - a machine that's designed in such a way that it's not possible for the operator to be able
