Hi
If that don\t impress you as'per'useal, that the designs are so popular that 911 members at the moment have joined the Cyber-Boat group, then check the 275 members in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Cyber-Boat-Longboat-5meter/

the 175 members in
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Cyber-Boat-boatplans/

But maby you shuld rather read what is said about the new Cyber-Boat group<
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tsunami-Longboat/

"Hi all !
I am alway stunned with simplicity and beutynes of Per Corel design.
The lines of hulls are strong , speed and sexy. New Tsunami-longboats
are excellent example of artistic design .
Thank you
nkosta"

as'per'useal how long is your list of pleased clients please point to some of your designs, please refere what your clients say.

Again Per you miss the point.

A) this is an architecture site, not a site for sailors

B) with respect to A, you haven't designed anything. Rather you have merely regurgitated somebody elses building technique.

So please Per, open a nice refreshing can of wise-up!

Hi

Why is this so important to you , "Rather you have merely regurgitated somebody elses building technique." Do you suffer by the fact that somone display a new building method ?
Why is that sure you are not sick.

Why didn't you refere what your clients say about your architecture what have you build I show you proberly rather hide.

Hi

The reson I ask you "as'per'useal , about showing some of your designs, is that I am sure I can find the grain of reson you just sicken your mind, displaying what's on your mind.

Even in my bible Jesus had clever people talking him against --- not by sharing the vision but softly distrubiating poison "asking" clever questions to put hinm away not by the love of truth the love of god , but only to cheat him to make it so as you academics rule the game ; making dull tales of nothing instead of art, houses that cost ten times what they need , being not able to restand nature .

Now what do you "as'per'useal speak , what you think is great do you know that you are just poisoning your own mind , that what you produce is filth and dirty ----- you even know as you don't even dare put yoiur name on it , even there you are faul .

Why is it you have time traveling mailing lists, one designing havn't, isn't the reson that you are just an old dryass usenet fanatic or a compleatly amature --- you think dirt is great it's not .

i feel like going home and sitting in my bathtub, drinking wine, and listening to cat power all day.

instead i am staying at work so that i can go to the zoo to verify measurements on some existing buildings.

Per Corell

Hi

Then you must be surprised when I tell you that in this contry CAD drawings are made after the building is there , --- now could you emagine a better way _not to make profit from new technilogy ,if these existing buildings was 3D-H you never would be checking measures .

Per ,I give up on you, especially now that you have brought religion into the mix. You lose all common sense as soon as you bring in religion.

You have to be the biggest wanker to ever browse the net...

Hi

Again you display your filth only, even trying to speak nice you don't talk about architecture but your own shitty emagination, I have no religion maby you have, but Im'e sure from your faul mouth that your master is down bellow that when you feel the heat rising it's not love bur just waiting to show your shitty mind.

When in a discussion and the other person says, for example, "What is 54 x 3?" I just sit and look contemplative (my mind a complete blank) until they come up with the answer and then I agree with them.

first off- this thread rocks! its therapeutic and i think some of you guys are being as honest as possible, and that rocks too. (anonyminity is a great tool for honesty eh?)

ok- here goes.

#5 ( b/ci posted previously)- i have posted to this *web site numerous times which is like this thread on crack http://grouphug.us/

(*note: that site WILL get you hooked, trust me)

#6 i'm going to an event at the center for architecture tonight for the free wine and cuz i want to see what these supposed big time architects look like in person (if you go, i'll be the one in black)

#6B- i'll probably be making fun of them with my drunk friends and laughing in the back uproariously (again, the one in black)

#7- i'm dyin to know what design-geek-girl, jam-arch, and stephanie look like (providing theyre all females) because in my totally fantastical mind, theyre all super hot architect chicks. (please you three hot archi-amazonas feel free to elaborate or even post a pic. thank you.)

#8- i missed the submission for the flight93 proposal b/c i was playing metal gear solid3:snakeater mercilessly into the wee hours of the morning....slacker

#9- i sometimes leave the office at.......get ready....5:30!

i'm convinced if my nickname at archinect were obviously female i'd get a lot more attention but i won't change it because:

a. it would change my 'join in' date [as if anybody cares]

b. it would make me officially shallow, vs. right now only closet shallow.

i love this thread, i love this site, i love all of you guys and the few girls (hey how about a 50/50 membership campaing?), i love per and as'per'usual, i think they should meet somewhere and have a punch up.

oh, new confessions. i love scot prescot cohen, i mean, seriously, i think his building are amazing.

i'm always so pissed off because i can never make beautiful layouts for my presentations, they go from bad to average to unoffending, and it pisses me off.

i (therefor) rip ideas from other people. be it layouts, exhibition props or other stuff...

i have never committed 100% to this stuff...i mean, i'm probably always 50% committed, rarely more than that.

and sometimes i'm even stupid enough to think that because other people work harder and longer than me and have similar results, i'm better than them...the truth of the matter is that i'm a slacker. i am seeking absolution.

i think (i am actually sure, and have proof) i busted one of the tutors form the uni passing a project down to a student so i could win a competition, but i'm keeping my mouth shut as i want to be in his unit next year...

i will finally cave in and buy a pc, because i need some serious 3d modelling and my mac can't cope. after almost 6 years of loyalty and campaigning against pc's...

this is my 5th year in architecture, i still dress like an overweight hardcore kid.

ahhh, feels so good. if only i didn't have my real name next to th post...

(louis and tim, keep yer mouth shut, should you read this!)

i love this thread but i hate it that i have to load like 4 pages in order to see the latests posts.

yet i still contribute to making it even longer because...

i love it that it has beaten the fancy graphic lovers as longest discussion, although i'm too lazy to check.

kyll: sorry to disappoint but I'm not a hot archi-amazon chick rather a 6' tall with the shape of a lnbkr. Also keep your eyes of design-geek girl I (haven't) seen her first

confession: I fear marriage will make me less of an architect. I don't have a fear of committment but if i tell them the truth they really would hate me. Looking to have a girlfriend, smart and sexy enough to be on an architect's arm and to come with a cute dog, about the size of agouti.

I'm not sure if I love this thread though I truly enjoy the idea of me actually confessing on it at some point when I figure out how to be honest enough that I can come back to read it later and say 'man, I'm one honest to god motherf*cker'

pssst.
i hate architecture.
well 90% of it
and i think architecture without architects is often the solution.
i think governments should pay us off to sit back and become paper architects, so everything in our minds can exist in a state of perfection, and then we can finally read all the books we have always been meaning to read

and i have a sad belief that i can do anything.
i blame tv.

I am so lonely tonight that I just spent 20 minutes scanning through this thread again so I could feel surrounded by "friends".

And it's Friday at midnight. Sad.

Plus i want to see the thread beat out fancy graphics lovers, so I'm trying to bring it back.

Don't feel bad. Friday night is just an excuse for drunken idiots to party and rub it in your face that they have better places to be.

I was drunk earlier from the free booze we get at work on Fridays, then I went to get pizza, and now I'm going to bed. All is good in the life of Lena.

Is it weird that I enjoy hanging out by myself!?

no its not weird LenaV, I'm sure many of the archinecters out there spent Friday night alone - I spent most of the night alone as well. Liberty - bring it back!

confession - I like showing up engineers when it comes to resolving structures on my buildings - buh hah hah - if only I could get the estimating right - darnit
