So I have some inverter plates, that are 2x2 with studs on both sides
06:05
<~Noah>
I wonder if there is a female version of that
06:10
<~Noah>
Oh, guess not, because the 2x2 with 8 studs isn't made by lego
06:12
<~Noah>
Still, that'll be good for SNOT
07:06
<~Noah>
Okay, so I disassembled that deformed flying chickenship and made smaller hovercraft
07:06
<~Noah>

Okay, so I see a need for a bot that does this
07:51
<~Noah>
Any image link that's posted here, it captures, and reposts to some kind of image bin, and repastes the new link
07:51
<~Noah>
But, getting it to work with multiple image sources could be a pain
07:52
<~Noah>
Anything that isn't just a straight image, it would need to check the page for the largest image, as that will likely be the pasted image
08:03 * Noah puts a turntable under that top gun
08:03
<~Noah>
Now it can fire in any direction!
08:05
<~Noah>
Actually, I have a 25GB skydrive, I could probably make a public folder in that
08:18
<~Noah>
Hmm, httrack, gonna look into that
09:02
<~Noah>
Okay, HTTrack is what I need, just need to figure out how to optimize it for accepting any general link, then have something figure out what the largest picture in those folder are, then move it to another location
09:02
<~Noah>
Blarg, but sleep instead

13:52

Noah: ... why, anyway?
14:23
<@ToxicFrog>
Yeah, actually, what's the use case for this?

Hello there, crew.
15:13
<@TheShadow>
Ullo
16:01
<~Noah>
TheShadow, ToxicFrog: wget on windows? And basically the idea is to have a bot that follows any link posted here, and grabs the largest image, and moves it into a public folder on my skydrive
16:03
<@ToxicFrog>
Right, but why?
16:03
<~Noah>
Because?
16:04
<~Noah>
I'm crazy? I like image redundancy? Marshmallow creme?
16:05
<~Noah>
There's a pastebin repaster, I think the Ubuntu bot uses it, and it repastes the contents of pastebins to it's own pastebin
16:05
<~Noah>
I thought the idea was neat, but wanted to apply it to images instead
16:06
<~Noah>
http://goo.gl/DL1mU http://goo.gl/Utk0V - Ced23Ric: I made a hovercraft, with posable guns!~
16:07
< Ced23Ric>
Heya Noah. :D
16:07
<~Noah>
That grey block on the guns is a megablok brick, and it sorta swivels, it's neat
16:07
<~Noah>
I added a turn-table to that top gun
16:09
< Ced23Ric>
Bahaha.
16:09
< Ced23Ric>
It's not really in any scale, but it's hilarious. :D
16:09
< Ced23Ric>
Well, I guess it's minifig scale.
16:10
<~Noah>
It's in moredakka scale
16:10
<~Noah>
besides, our groug probably aren't going to be scale-nazis
16:11
<~Noah>
groug?
16:11
<~Noah>
Group, even
16:13
<~Noah>
brb, burritos
16:14
< Ced23Ric>
Heh. Not so much about being scale-nazis, but about limiting yourself so you can outdo yourself. Inverted stuff is inverted.
16:15
<~Noah>
Oh sure, I understand that
16:15
<~Noah>
Largely these are exercises to resurface skills that have waned since the Dark Ages
16:25
< Ced23Ric>
Tell me about it.
16:25
< Ced23Ric>
Haven't played with Lego in easily a dozen years.
16:25
< Ced23Ric>
But it's goes rather well.
16:25
< Ced23Ric>
I am working on a heavy shooty 'Frame right now.

16:28
< Ced23Ric>
Concept in LDD, and brick it later.
16:59
<~Noah>
Huh, what's that angley technic brick in the front?
16:59
<~Noah>
And the long tube, haven't seen either of those
17:00
<~Noah>
I've got several of the straight two-holes behind them though
17:00
<~Noah>
Actually, several like them, they have a flat base
17:14
< Ced23Ric>
Angley brick: shaft crank or so, it's called.
17:14
< Ced23Ric>
And the long tube is a pin to pin connector.
17:14
<~Noah>
Oh, neat
17:14
<~Noah>
I'll keep an eye out for those
18:06 * Noah eagerly watches his tracking numbers on his lego orders
18:06
<~Noah>
Because it makes them go faster I tells ya, they feel me watching them~
18:28
< Ced23Ric>
They are pretty shy.

Hmm, Hobby Lobby carries neither Legos or Megabloks. Just some Kobi brand bricks that are advertised as being compatible and costing over 25c per brick.
22:31 * McMartin teaches the "units" utility to convert studs/plates/bricks into 7p scale feet.
22:31
<~Noah>
Lol
22:32
<@McMartin>
Surprisingly easy, really, just made this file:
22:32
<@McMartin>
[mcmartin@iodine ~]$ cat ~/.units.dat
22:32
<@McMartin>
plate 1|8 inch
22:32
<@McMartin>
stud 5|16 inch
22:32
<@McMartin>
brick 3 plate
22:32
<@McMartin>
mfzfoot 7|6 plate
22:34
<~Noah>
A brick is 3 plates. A stud is 5?
22:36
<@McMartin>
No, 2 studs is 5 plates.
22:36
<~Noah>
Oh
22:36
<@McMartin>
"stud" here is the width of a 1x1 plate or brick.
22:36
<~Noah>
Right
22:36
<@McMartin>
You may notice that a 1x1x1 brick is not cubical
22:36
<@McMartin>
It's 5/16" x 5/16" x 3/8"
22:36
<~Noah>
Indeed it isn't
22:39
<@McMartin>
And since it's units, that means that now we can determine that 5 kg-plates/minute^2 is .44 dynes of kinetic energy!
22:41
<~Noah>
Lol
22:41
<~Noah>
So what's the terminal velocity of Mr. Chibs in Earth Gravity?
22:44
<~Noah>
Testing is vitality important to me, because I need to know if cannoneering is a viable method to deploy units.

That sounds like a task for SCIENCE.
22:58
<@McMartin>
But it requires simulated mass as well as surface area
23:10
<~Noah>
Surface area we can do. Mass however...
