Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 1000!!!!! (pages)
The County Public library here has wireless internet. They've got "social networking" websites blocked, as probably as well as a number of others. Their wiring also seems to be outdated a bit, they asked me not to plug into any of the wall outlets for fear of blowing the fuse or starting a fire somewhere... which is kinda stupid. If they have some sort of conduit in the walls already, then it would be piss easy to just bootstrap in some new cordex and pull out the old wiring at the same time.

Ah well. At least it's much better than 28kbps for awhile, and I've got my bigass battery so it should be OK for a few hours.

Well I've finally switched rooms. And of course, my new room is really ****ty compared to my old one. Now I'm living by myself on one of the unrenovated floors. :(

The whole scaling mechanic is BS:

Relic: At cap?
Player: Yup!
Relic: Well then, let's throw thrice the amount allowed by the game-play rules at ye.
Player: ?!

You should sell about two thirds of your fleet before the next mission, I never got past Thaddis Sabbath. To hell with that Vaygr fleet! :hopping:

BOTH bridge-tunnels across the james river were blocked this morning.  those responsible should never be allowed to drive again.  something about virginia roads turns drivers into drooling retards.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one that had no real problems with this. The biggest enemy force I cam across was probably 5 battle-cruisers and a few destroyers, and that was probably in the second to last mission or so. No mass fleet retiring involved.

I dealt with scaling by maxing my fleet before every mission.  It's either that or scuttling, and I found maxing to be more effective.

Yeah I remember that one. Didn't bother me that much, Black and White was furiously worse at it (not that it scaled, but the need to "max" everything before "jumping". I was just unable to end the fifth level due to that one).

Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 1000!!!!! (pages)
i spent most of last night screwing around with sensor filters that dont work, but i did add a pretty badass opengl graphing window to my test script. its still buggy but it works. it will come in handy for countless other projects i figure. i was going to import all the font loading code from nukesimluagl, but it requires 4 other libraries to work. this little test script is starting to look like one of my freespace scripting abominations. the whole point was to prototype all the algorithms for inertial guidance before trying to re-code it in c++ and optimize it down so that it will run on an 8 bit microcontroller with no ram.

i was also rather disturbed to find the only tutorials on the net about the subject that include actual c code were completely wrong. someone even tried to pass off a simple low pass filter as rather high end exotic algorithm. maybe i need to start looking at quadcopter projects and the like. i also feel i need to reiterate about how badass iup is. its so easy to create windowed interfaces to arduino projects just using some of the libraries that come with lua for windows.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

arm cannon is in wrong hand!

but I guess it has to be that way because it is a parody of a star wars poster. But this is way more epic than the original.

The trick is to be insane before hand, then no onethinks it is wierd that you sit outside throwing wine bottles at tree trunks and yelling at six in the morning.

Any idea how long it will b euntil they turn your power back on? Joisey central no power or light just told me it will be two to three -weeks-for me.

Fortunately this Nor'Easter doesn't look like it's going to be quite as bad as the models were predicting a couple days ago.  Mostly a nuisance, particularly for areas still without power from Sandy.

Precisely.  Just saying it's good that they wont be getting the worst of it.  Earlier models were showing hurricane force wind gusts and intense storm surge, which nobody needs, let alone for the second time in barely a week.

Hang in there, Pred.
