@Templesmith agreed. as tiresome as doing my own paperwork can be; running as a company is the best career choice i’ve made — by far. in reply to Templesmith #
@pulphope did you ever catch the cyberpunk scifi movie “hardware”? not only a bizarre movie, but an even more bizarre role by iggy pop in reply to pulphope #
@mopedronin It’s also a strong probability that you may substitute the word ‘drool’ for something more delinquent. in reply to mopedronin #
Anyone having problems changing their Google Chat Icon? Here’s your solution: http://tinyurl.com/ktbx8a #
@mopedronin good score man! you’ll be making mention of wanting to drool all over lady sham before we know it ;) in reply to mopedronin #
on the desk today 003 http://flic.kr/p/6BgAP7 #
@aldaraia haha. I don’t mind that. It’s the “Kelly-Lee Smith-Bronson” bullshit. Cripes, I feel dumb enough with a hyphenated first name in reply to aldaraia #
A hyphenated first name is bad enough, but double hyphenation is completely, ludicrously unacceptable. #
Check out a preview of Darwyn Cooke’s “Hunter” (based on the first Parker novel by Richard Stark) http://idwpublishing.com/previews/parker/ #
I love the component edit feature in Sketchup. It allows me to visually assemble a complex model; while editing smaller bits individually #
@aldaraia hah! I only have Australian ‘bits’ through my Grandmother — the rest of me is Canadian, Kiwi & Irish ;) in reply to aldaraia #
Blame the Irish in me… and maybe the Australian bits too. #
@Comic_Con sorry to hear about the technical glitches. hopefully this doesn’t stress you out so much that you won’t enjoy the event itself! in reply to Comic_Con #
@yamamo2 that’s a great deal for Komplete! I’m quite tempted. in reply to yamamo2 #
@mopedronin I’ll look around SDCC for you man. If I find anything I’ll email you and can ship from SD. in reply to mopedronin #
oh god. cookie monster eyes today. staying up far too late recently. incidentally, i think it should be spelled ‘monschtarrr’ like beowulf #
@mopedronin oh wow! not cheap to get one’s comic fix in reply to mopedronin #
@mopedronin 8 issues of popbot so far!! in reply to mopedronin #
Tony Allen Remix comp closes this Tuesday 7 July http://tinyurl.com/no652w. Had some great remixes so far keep em comin (via @ WorldCircuit) #
@mopedronin You’re best bet is to find the TPB for Popbot. The single issues (particularly #1 & 2 are quite scarce). I really enjoy the book in reply to mopedronin #
the clock now appears to allow me this: “happy Canada day!” #
@wetaworkshop bad engrish… i meant so say “you guys AND your teasers!” i’ve been staring at the puter for far too long today in reply to wetaworkshop #
@Templesmith you’ll be doing a standup routine before you know it man! :P in reply to Templesmith #
@wetaworkshop hah.. you guys are your ‘teasers’ ;-) in reply to wetaworkshop #
Nearly everyone I’ve seen here on the interwub that has purchased a new iphone; cannot remember the password to their wireless router. #
what? jury duty? yet another thing to take care. good grief. #
@ChrisHahn oh man! Rygar! brings back some memories in reply to ChrisHahn #
@aldaraia We’re off for our 10 week trip. But we’re taking work w/ us & a friend is taking over our flat while we’re gone. prep. prep. prep. in reply to aldaraia #
@aldaraia I’m staying up late because it’s quiet. I also have a lot of ideas to prep before we leave. Also need to put boxes in storage, ugh in reply to aldaraia #
@aldaraia I’m in 2:30 till 9:45 mode. Too much to do before our trip. in reply to aldaraia #
My sleeping hours are like that of an obsessive weirdo lately. #
@saralynnmusic Coffee feeds the world. I mainly drink a flat white (an NZ thing) & ‘strong’ latte. Where’s the good coffee in YVR at the mo? in reply to saralynnmusic #
@ohsuperheroine Agreed. The follower page is a bit so-so. I’m sure they’ll improve it. Here’s hoping they show friends in common soon! in reply to ohsuperheroine #
Shaving dims on current design. Let’s face it, a 20% reduction of materials means a reduction of final cost! Details have to wait till Oct #
During our evening wander we became responsible for the arrest of an older man of odd behaviour & faculty who was vandalising Grafton Bridge #
Something’s screwy (that I don’t recall happening before) with export scaling of AI to CAD software. Not a ‘big’ deal but it’s an extra step #
Easy to spend far too much money this year. Now I want to go to the 3A Venture artshow in Hong Kong Nov 27 http://tinyurl.com/3AVentureHK #
@ajbriones most of my movie viewing seems to get done on airline flights. I’m so so far behind too. We’re nearing the finish of Deadwood tho in reply to ajbriones #
@rafaelgrampa I know the feeling . I’ve had calls like that recently. I tell myself it is because people care & simply want to see you :) in reply to rafaelgrampa #
@auditorycanvas @aldaraia Fruity Loops certainly would get the job done. I’m addicted to my Bidule, Reaktor, Kontakt, Maschine combo :D in reply to auditorycanvas #
@aldaraia Should I give him your contact details then? :P in reply to aldaraia #
@auditorycanvas as for movie’s to watch, I’d recommend The Wrestler. If you still need more Aronofsky, I also enjoyed The Fountain in reply to auditorycanvas #
@auditorycanvas That’s crossed my mind w/ other people. In this case, he barely knew computers. I won’t teach that for any amount of cash! in reply to auditorycanvas #
@auditorycanvas I was tempted. I was confused at whether he wanted to DJ, record bands or just put dance beats to old 70′s & 80′s songs. in reply to auditorycanvas #
@ivanbrandon Previous send probably wasn’t too informative. Info about making your own custom decks http://www.zazzle.com/custom/skateboards in reply to ivanbrandon #
@ivanbrandon http://www.zazzle.com/skateboards in reply to ivanbrandon #
@auditorycanvas I agree. I have friends that have given up making music in favour of music-based video games. This guy was relentless though in reply to auditorycanvas #
Attention Facebook people… I don’t want to play Farmville #
Reminds me to avoid nearby cafe / organic store. I gave an inkling that I do audio to a guy & out flies his “I wanna be a producer” barrage #
need some groceries. might also grab some more tofu and coconut cream for tonight’s korma #
Here we go again. 1pm (ish) and the bogun next door is having beer for breakfast while sitting by the window. #
@ajbriones I already have a 256 from the last batch (#117!) The only reason I’d have to buy one would be to flip it for a profit on ebay! :P in reply to ajbriones #
@ajbriones hey man! are you buying a monome 256 this week? i recall hearing a mention that you wanted one :) in reply to ajbriones #
@tonymoore Man! The treatment for the poison ivy incident sounds almost sounds worse than the condition! Wishing you a speedy recovery! in reply to tonymoore #
@pulphope I’d drop some cash to see you on some Magnus Robot Fighter. Also like to see XO Manowar receive a decent plot & art treatment :D in reply to pulphope #
on the desk today 002 http://flic.kr/p/6AyTpa #
@gimbat Thanks for keeping us updated on everything 3A! :D in reply to gimbat #
@saralynnmusic congratulations on nearing your album completion! initially I’d thought you’d simply had too much coffee! ;) in reply to saralynnmusic #
@pulphope the “Hemingway Trinken Mob” or “Sheepgeist” in reply to pulphope #
@ivanbrandon I laughed. My Grandfather would always tell people they had,”no sense of hah hah” when nobody laughed at his jokes. in reply to ivanbrandon #
Well.. that email wasn’t so scary. Now I just need to follow through. gulp! :P #
designer ranting. the LED bar is still expensive, but cheaper than the single LEDs. discrete control of LEDs would be nice for the arduino #
@TradeMe_Jay You might be right! I think he was on a Devonport ferry with us a few weeks back #amazingrace in reply to TradeMe_Jay #
The length of this ‘thing’ I’m designing is turning out to be 666mm. Next step is to estimate weight & height. Then cost. Ugh. #
