What determines the origin point (0, 0) of a layer?

I can't seem to figure out how the 0,0 origin of a layer is initially determined.

The layer's center point seems to be some odd random location.

Even when I change the origin of a bone layer, a bone's translation is still based on that original origin of the layer.

I would like to have a center point for bones so I can set them up symmetrically. But I can't figure out where that zero point comes from.

Dagnabbit!

I don't remember changing the camera position.

Someone must have broken into my house while I was out and MOVED the camera position and zoom just to frustrate me and make me look silly!

This is outrageous. I won't stop until I find the miscreant who has invaded my home and messed with my stuff!

This would explain why I can't find files on my computer that I know are there! Someone's moving things around when I sleep.

Some of my DVDs are missing as well. I want my copy of "Love Actually" back immediately! I can't find my DVD of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" either. I have 5 seasons of "Space:1999" and some of the disks are missing.

<sigh>

I forgot to reset the camera position... and the zoom... :oops:

Now this is very embarrassing. I have just looked in my DVD collection and there Dagnabbit, is a copy of Love Actually. I didn't buy, I never rented it but was too ashamed to take it back ... there can only be one answer - that same miscreant must have shnuck into my house whilst I was sleeping and planted it there, just to make me look soppy in front of my girlfriend.

Oh the same of it. :shock:

BTW: My girlfriend cannot watch it without at least one box of man-sized tissues - which is a very strange name to give something when its the ladies who use it most.

Hee hee...

My favorite part is with Bill Nighy's character (Billy Mac). That whole story line was brilliant.

My taste in movies is very eclectic. I was purchasing some movies the other day...

Ice Age 2
The Descent

I told the cashier I would get "Film Genre Whip Lash" watching those back to back. The Descent was fantastic... claustrophobic and terrifying. I cried at the end of that one too. ;) The director called it "Six Chicks with Picks".
