| 01:59 | <~Vornicus> | Okay, inform 7 mapping is cool but it seems to be, uh, afraid of making the map too wide. |
| 02:01 | <&McMartin> | It's supposed to fit on half a screen, IIRC |
| 02:02 | <~Vornicus> | Actually it looks like if I use the eps one it should make it wider if need be |

| 13:25 | | * Tarinaky grumbles. |
| 13:26 | <@Tarinaky> | For some reason I can't fathom the ssh guard on my irc shell has decided to block the IP address on the Uni network I was using o.o |
| 13:26 | <@Tarinaky> | So now I'm sshing into another machine on campus to ssh out. |
| 13:26 | <@Tarinaky> | God damn it -.- |

| 13:38 | <@Tarinaky> | thalass: Seems unlikely that anyone would do that, frankly. |
| 13:38 | <@Tarinaky> | And yes. Fucking ssh guard. |
| 13:38 | <@Tarinaky> | Because I don't /want/ to use an RSA key. |

| 19:20 | < Shiz> | so use a thumbdrive |
| 19:22 | <@Alek> | easy to lose, or to forget in your pocket when you toss the jeans in the wash. |
| 19:22 | <@Alek> | I lost my first thumb drive that way. :( |
| 19:22 | <@Azash> | What Alek said |
| 19:23 | <@Azash> | Plus I just managed to brick a thumb drive so I've lost faith in that method |
| 19:24 | <@Alek> | I'd consider a thumb necklace, or ring, but those are more expensive, and thus harder to replace if they break. |
| 19:25 | <@Alek> | now if you could take the guts out of a thumb and stick them in a 3D printed ring or something, maybe... |
| 19:25 | < Shiz> | your thumbdrive should obviously not be the only place where you store it |
| 19:26 | < Shiz> | also, keep your thumb in your wallet |
| 19:26 | <@Alek> | tad thick. |
| 19:27 | < Shiz> | I have a thumbdrive in credit card form |
| 19:27 | <@Alek> | although I do believe there was a CC-format USB adapter being kickstarted late last year. |
| 19:27 | <@Alek> | ah, that's cool. :D |
| 19:27 | <@Alek> | but how much was it, $10/GB? |
| 19:28 | < Shiz> | it was actually a promotional item being sold at a concert, so I paid more for the contents on it |
| 19:28 | <@Alek> | o_o |
| 19:28 | < Shiz> | it was 7$ and can hold a gig |
| 19:28 | <@Alek> | ok, that's pretty decent. |
| 19:28 | < Shiz> | but yeah, contents is what i paid for |
| 19:29 | <@Alek> | hah. there's also USB business cards. |
| 19:29 | <@Alek> | hah, you can buy 8GB for $10 on ebay right now. |
| 19:29 | < Shiz> | well there you go |
| 19:29 | < Shiz> | speaking of, I should get a new set of cans |
| 19:30 | | * Alek blinks. |
| 19:31 | <@Alek> | ok, this is cool. if a tad awkward. |
| 19:31 | <@Alek> | https://www.customusb.com/gigs2go-flash-drive/ |
| 19:31 | <@Alek> | a "business card" with 4 tearaway thumbs. |
| 19:32 | <@Alek> | with an assortment of sizes, 8MB (resume) to 16GB (presentation?). |
| 19:32 | < Shiz> | very ecofriendly |
| 19:32 | <@Alek> | and can be preloaded. |
| 19:32 | < Shiz> | that fucking jumping beachball |
| 19:33 | | Turaiel[Offline] is now known as Turaiel |
| 19:33 | <@Alek> | annoying, yes |
| 19:34 | <@Alek> | no set prices, you gotta ask for quote. and gotta buy bulk, presumably. |
| 19:34 | <@Alek> | although I'm sure there's a markup for low-quantity orders. |

| 20:03 | <@Alek> | idiot-powered perpetuum mobile: a handle with a sign "Do Not Turn". |
| 20:05 | < Shiz> | I was going to say a piece of paper with 'voucher on the back' on both sides |
| 20:05 | <@Alek> | that too, but the handle can actually generate power. >_> |
| 20:24 | <@Alek> | Prediction: soon thugs will return to the fighting rules of the mid-last-century. When before hitting someone in glasses or shades, you told them to take them off. |

| 20:51 | <@Azash> | it's time to stop posting.jpg |
| 20:54 | < ErikMesoy> | "Still pictures or images may cause permanent picture-tube damage or mark the phosphor of the CRT. Avoid repeated or extended use of video games on large-screen projection televisions." Man, this sounds dated. (Dungeon Keeper 2 manual.) |
| 21:04 | < AnnoDomini> | IIRC, if you leave an unchanging image for an extended time on a CRT monitor, it will burn in permanently. |
| 21:04 | < AnnoDomini> | I saw a suggestion or two for practical jokes including doing such a thing with something silly, like "DICKS". |
| 21:04 | | Kindamoody is now known as Kindamoody[zZz] |
| 21:04 | < ErikMesoy> | I know. But the last time I remember seeing a CRT monitor was like ten years ago. |
| 21:05 | <@Tamber> | I still have mine. |
| 21:05 | < ErikMesoy> | How old is it? |
| 21:05 | | * gnolam eyes his CRT TV. |
| 21:05 | <@gnolam> | Still in use. |
| 21:06 | <@Tamber> | Well, one of them is about 10 or so years old. The other is only 8. |
| 21:06 | <@gnolam> | And it wasn't /that/ long ago that I replaced Behemoth (my 21" CRT computer monitor). |
| 21:06 | <@Tamber> | (And I'm not counting the CRT TV, which is... admittedly rather blurry now, but still works.) |
| 21:07 | | * ErikMesoy recalls the made-in-1988 B&W Macintosh that his mother used to have up until about five years ago. |
| 21:07 | < ErikMesoy> | Back when the Apple logo was colored. :p |
| 21:08 | < ErikMesoy> | Age distribution of computer hardware around me is funny sometimes. |
| 21:10 | <@Alek> | some LCDs and/or plasmas can also get burn-in, but the method is quite different. I hear. |
| 21:27 | | * McMartin has occasionally considered blowing some money on ancient electronics and the gear to make them work. |

| 21:50 | <&McMartin> | I never did learn much about the Amiga's powers |
| 22:03 | <@TheWatcher> | I've probably forgotten pretty much all of it now. The one truly abiding thing is my frustration and dealing with the bitplanes when trying to do graphics work, but I do remember the architecture being pretty neat. |
| 22:03 | <@TheWatcher> | s/and/at/ |
| 22:04 | | * McMartin nods |
| 22:04 | <&McMartin> | The PC had bitplanes too >_< |
| 22:04 | <&McMartin> | I guess the NES did as well |
| 22:04 | <&McMartin> | Wasn't really until MCGA that the PC started being a proper bytemap. |
| 22:05 | <&McMartin> | But I never learned 68k asm, like, at all |
| 22:05 | <&McMartin> | And, of course, the Workbench was years ahead of its time |
| 22:06 | <@TheWatcher> | Heh, I still have the M68040 manual on my shelf here. Those things were great fun to work with. |
| 22:07 | <&ToxicFrog> | McMartin: I have some ancient electronics you could have, but you'd have to figure out shipping~ |
| 22:08 | | * TheWatcher checks, hahs, still has a bunch of old Amiga projects in his archive directory |
| 22:09 | <&ToxicFrog> | (specifically a Heathkit H19 terminal and two Southwest Technical Products MC6809-based PCs) |
| 22:12 | | * TheWatcher stops poking at memory lane, needs to try and get GREGORIAN REDACTOR to a vaguely useful state |
