Marine Aquarium 3 Comments & Appreciation - Page 9

The cops seemed oblivious to the rampant violations. I felt like making about 500 citizen's arrests. The authorities seem to concentrate mostly on parking violations. In Boston I was parked near the U.S.S Constitution and was about 5 minutes late getting back to put more coins in the meter, resulting in a $25 ticket. That same night I was parked at a restaurant near Harvard, and the car was towed away. I never did see any "No Parking" signs on that street, and there were parking spaces painted.

I'm back home now, working on Fishpicker interface bugs.

You criminal you.

First off congratulations on a GREAT job...

I wrote an email congratulating about the 2.6 version i just bought... and got as an answer the link to the forum with the 3.0 beta... simply couldn't believe it

I came back last week from the red sea and just hoped for an animated anemone... and now i just read it will be there. can't wait.

Thank you for the great work.

Back to appreciations...

Jim, just wanted to say hello and thank you for your aquarium. I used it on my computer the last eight years, and now that I've seen your beta of 3.0 (and bought a new key for it) I can say that it will stay that way

.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

I was at DA forums and some ppl said that dream aquarium isnt as good blah blah or not as realistic as Aqua Real 2. All though in some context it may be true, i think i prefer this to aqua real cause its a tank. My eyes hurt when i watch aqua real for too long cause the fish zoom by really fast sometimes. This ones way more relaxing to me.
edit: I actually meant serene screen, but i might have seen that before

Jim Sachs · 11-10-2008, 08:34 PM

You should go tell Alan. I'm sure he would appreciate it.

Jav400 · 11-10-2008, 08:53 PM

Alan was around here earlier today.

moochogastrue · 11-11-2008, 04:50 PM

i love the coral background. It matches with the fish and doesnt look just like a 2D image photoshopped off the internet. (like many serene screen copies)

moochogastrue · 11-11-2008, 05:04 PM

just a question: how do you manage working on MA3 and posting at the same time??

Jim Sachs · 11-11-2008, 05:19 PM

The Forum is usually running in a corner of the screen while I'm programming. Google News is in another corner, and Ebay motorcycles in another (in case a 1966 Yamaha 305 shows up).

moochogastrue · 11-11-2008, 05:21 PM

cool. cant wait for the final product

Don't you wish!

Comparing with ver 2.6, Star fish seems to be no movement at all.
Check back ver 2.6, Star fish is very active.
I prefer ver 2.6 in star fish.

henemly · 11-12-2008, 08:17 AM

Plus ver 3 don't work with:
Change or add to reg StarfishOnGlass=1 to see it better.

Jim Sachs · 11-12-2008, 11:16 AM

MadBob - Yep, that's the one. I never liked it in black, though. Blue is my favorite, but red is fine, too.

Starfish - the starfish can't go on the glass yet. The final starfish movement will be similar to MA2.6, except the transition to the glass will be visible.

moochogastrue · 11-12-2008, 12:20 PM

someone's probably asked this before, but is the 'incremental' upgrade gonna happen during beta testing, or for the final version only??

Jim Sachs · 11-12-2008, 03:36 PM

We haven't decided yet.

sooty · 11-12-2008, 04:24 PM

I couldnt stand beside the monitors so i put a std wine bottle there on the left for a gauge

Jim Sachs · 11-12-2008, 04:38 PM

Looks great!

Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think. "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
