Yeah, James Cameron has been on every TV show ever about the Titanic recently. My Mom would not stop regurgitating Titanic knowledge from watching all of it and yeah, apparently, the ship broke sort of slow but just sunk from there altogether.

So, yeah, there was no tail end section thrusting into the sky sinking dramatically with Jack and that greedy red haired tart who wouldn't share the door with him at all.

But, Seriously, there is like a solid foot of space behind her on that door she is floating on. I could fit in that space in fetus position and I have at least thirty pounds on Mr.Dicaprio.

Jesus, you cruel greedy red haired cow, move over. Damn.

Oh my...my signatures seem to have up and white boxed on me.

I sort of hosted a ton of images recently for a signature shop I made on another forum and I guess people be lookin' at my stuff too much. <_<

The 3D version also corrects the night sky to show the correct starfield. Credits to Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson for that one.

Also I've never seen it all the way through and don't really care to. Maybe I'll get around to it someday.

And this is actually kinda slow for the speeds I've gotten before. Though I'm doing it over wifi this time instead of a wired box, so that might be why.

Wingly Apr 24, 2012 06:27 PM

Dammit. Oh well, unless I want to sell my body to pay for faster internet I'm pretty happy with my speeds. And you're cheating with your fancy university connection. :cookie:

I can has sympathies? :(

Oh, quit yer whining.

Sioux Apr 24, 2012 09:29 PM

Which is odd. It doesn't seem that slow when surfing the net...though maybe if I tried playing an online game here it would probably be lag city.

Edit:

New Signature time. I think I am in the mood for a little Doomtrain. I don't know, we'll see.

It's true, here's the at-home speeds.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1914079637.png

Could be worse for $30/month.

Sioux Apr 25, 2012 03:46 AM

Man, outside of Lord DB we're all skating average.

Is this how normal internet levels are even with nice computers or do you have to shell out for the bigger connections?

BZero Apr 25, 2012 03:59 AM

Apparently, I have 48 slaves working for me.

Sioux Apr 25, 2012 05:11 AM

Whoo, 29 Slaves. :D

Aether Apr 25, 2012 08:30 AM

Only 18 for me...somehow I feel cheated :(

Dedrus Apr 25, 2012 09:47 AM

21 slaves... I expected higher, honestly.

Phoenix Apr 25, 2012 02:36 PM

36. Though I do wonder about the methodology.

BZero Apr 25, 2012 03:25 PM

Yeah, I really doubt they can get those numbers very accurate based on those questions. I mean, wouldn't it be better to ask how often you buy X, rather than ask how many X you have? If you have two socks, but you've had them for ten years, you'll somehow have more slaves than someone who only has one sock, but buys a new sock every week.

Phoenix Apr 25, 2012 06:15 PM

Crazy one-sock wearers.

Oh, and here's my university internet speed when I'm wired into the network instead of using my wifi:

Wingly Apr 26, 2012 04:26 AM

That's some shitty wifi.

Dedrus Apr 26, 2012 07:19 AM

Well Phoenix, you have successfully turned me into jelly.

Phoenix Apr 26, 2012 03:13 PM

It's not as good as it looks. As a non-RA student, I'm limited to 500Mb of bandwidth a week before I get throttled. So, on those speeds I could max out my usage in less than a second. Fun times!

edit: also, it's been too long since I've just sat and listened to an album. I should remember to do this more often.

I recommend it also during exercise. I destroy whole albums when I do some long training for boxing or running. It keeps one's mind off the pain and the exertion once you hit your limit and go beyond it.

Frei Apr 27, 2012 11:57 PM

OK well here, have an amazing album for exercise or pretty much anything else. If you want an adventure, listen to this album. It's free and incredible.

Phoenix Apr 28, 2012 06:06 AM

It's pretty, erm, epic? When I'm working I tend to go for mellow music. Steely Dan, L.A. Noire's soundtrack (especially the songs by The Real Tuesday Weld/Claudia Brucken), stuff like that. Daft Punk, if I'm in the right mood. It would be great exercise music though.

I'm cycling through tracks as I write this and I'm liking it more and more. Good recommendation. Impressive for a solo project.

edit: who could believe that a single misplaced ";" in a c code could cause hours of debugging stress? Well, now I know.

Aether Apr 28, 2012 10:00 AM

Ah, that elusive ; - I feel your pain. I had a similar problem when I was doing programming at university. Had to almost read through an entire 3000+ lines of code before I found where it was missing...

Dedrus Apr 28, 2012 02:42 PM

Is it strange that I enjoy debugging my code?
Either way, it's a bad habit, if my college course is anything to judge it on. We're expected to write code and not debug it until we've written the entire application. Then we're s'posed to go through and report any errors we have and then finally fix them. It's ridiculous: that's not how it works in a real development environment. It's even more ridiculous that such practises earn us about a tenth of our overall unit mark.

I get an overwhelming feeling that the criteria for my IT course was written by people who don't understand IT.

Phoenix Apr 28, 2012 03:55 PM

Haha. I have the benefit of having a working FORTRAN77 code to do my molecular dynamics simulation, I'm writing a postprocessor to analyze the data. I've already written and got it working in Matlab, now I'm jut transitioning it to C to run on the supercomputer.

Anty Apr 29, 2012 08:34 AM

Boo? I'm back? x_x

Aether Apr 29, 2012 09:46 AM

You're unsure Anty?

Anty May 1, 2012 05:43 PM

Little bit unsure, yes. Just cruising through.. Alot going on an remembered this place. Wanted to see who was around still.

Aether May 1, 2012 09:38 PM

Some of us, mostly this thread and that's it at the moment.

Tallulah May 1, 2012 11:20 PM

I made some Victoria Sponge cupcakes on a whim this evening. They taste nice but as far as Victoria Sponge goes it was a failure, as it's supposed to be light and fluffy, and it's a bit heavy, but they taste nice. :)

Also, I put Vegemite to the test. Not bad. :D

Welcome back, Anty!

Phoenix May 2, 2012 03:32 AM

Speaking of Vegemite, I found some in the store the other day after you all were talking about it along with Marmite. Got the Marmite to try because it was cheaper. Will let you know what I think.

Also W and B: sorry we let your champion swimmer die in my home state. It was an accident, we swear!

Tallulah May 2, 2012 06:52 PM

Marmite > Vegemite, IMHO. :)

Feeling down again. Want to move somewhere else but that's a laugh on McDonald's salary! There's nothing else out there either. It's a shite state of affairs. :(

I'll get there, though. Least I'll try.

Anty May 2, 2012 08:13 PM

My head hurts an I have had a horrible day.. :/ bleh.. May post in LHH later..

Aether May 2, 2012 09:34 PM

You've had a horrible day and it's only 6AM? That doesn't sound good Anty

Tallulah May 3, 2012 12:30 AM

Working nights, or just couldn't sleep?

Anyways, Anty, post in LHH if you feel the need. It seriously will help, just getting whatever it is off your chest. Whatever it is we will try to help. Stay strong. :)

BZero May 5, 2012 04:01 PM

You guys like linear RPGs?
