| 00:10 | < JustBob> | Alas, matlab is a taint that's spread too far and wide for easy burning. |
| 00:10 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | Today I get to feel like an idiot |
| 00:11 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | A couple months ago I was tasked to get repairs done on a sewing machine foot pedal that's wires had been besieged by a rabbit |
| 00:12 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | However, the plug is missing, and I don't have the sewing machine itself to see what sockets it has. I couldn't get anywhere |
| 00:12 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | Today I finally got pictures. The sewing machine doesn't have any sockets! Instead it has two cords, both ending in ordinary 2 prong wall plugs |
| 00:13 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | The foot pedal has two wall sockets in the middle of the cord |
| 00:14 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | And so.. the missing plug is just an ordinary wall plug. The sewing machine plugs into both of the sockets, except the socket for the motor goes through the pedal, which is little more than a rheostat that you'd have in an old dimmer switch |
| 00:15 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | Not only is it obvious in hindsight, but it's familiar too. I've seen such an arrangement before. x_x |
| 00:15 | < JustBob> | Hindsight is 20/20. |
| 00:15 | < JustBob> | I tell myself that every time I buy a non-winning lottery ticket. :p |
| 00:17 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | The only saving grace is that I had attempted to go into a sewing machine repair store and hoped to talk to some old-fogie that would recognize the pedal on sight and know what plug it needs. There were none there, but a member of the general sales staff said that without the plug or a picture of the sewing machine's socket they wouldn't be able to help. Which is true. It's actually the pair of sockets on the pedal's cord that g |
| 00:17 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | ive it away. x_x |
| 00:18 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | Nah, that's improper use of statistics ;) |

| 05:37 | <@Azash> | Is anyone present? |
| 05:37 | <&Derakon> | No. |
| 05:38 | <@celticminstrel> | I am. |
| 05:38 | <@Azash> | Thank you for the bemusing reply, fortunately I already sorted it out |
| 05:38 | <@Azash> | Was trying this out http://pasteb.it/ |
| 05:38 | <@celticminstrel> | By the way, didn't you want me to point you at my roguelike? |
| 05:38 | <@Azash> | Service written by someone at our department, it's like pastebin but allows concurrent editing a la etherpad |
| 05:38 | <@Azash> | celticminstrel: Aye |
| 05:39 | <@celticminstrel> | http://celmin.pwcsite.com/malandread/ |
| 05:39 | <@celticminstrel> | ...which is apparently an old version. One second. |
| 05:39 | <@celticminstrel> | No, it was just my cache. Never mind. |
| 05:43 | <@Azash> | Pretty neat |
| 05:46 | <@celticminstrel> | That pastebin sounds vaguely interesting. |
| 05:47 | <@Azash> | When you go to it you create a new instance and can then link that around |
| 05:49 | <@celticminstrel> | Presumably instances expire eventually...? |
| 05:49 | <@Azash> | I was just talking to him about that a while ago |
| 05:49 | <@Azash> | This is still a pretty rough beta apparently |
| 05:50 | <@celticminstrel> | I see. |
| 05:52 | <@celticminstrel> | So, anything else to say about the game besides "Pretty neat"? |
| 05:53 | <@Azash> | I like it, at least |
| 05:53 | <@Azash> | Just a shame I have to use the gooey |
| 05:53 | <@celticminstrel> | Why's that? |
| 05:53 | <@Azash> | But I can see myself procrastinating an hour or three with this |
| 05:53 | <@Azash> | Not sure, well, I could probably use the keyboard normally actually |
| 05:53 | <@Azash> | Just started with the GUI when I couldn't use ? |
| 05:54 | <@Azash> | (which is shift + here) |
| 05:54 | <@celticminstrel> | Ah. |
| 05:54 | | * Azash wonders how this goblin can attack so fast, is accidentally hammering the wait button |
| 05:54 | <@celticminstrel> | Huh? |
| 05:57 | <@Azash> | Like.. I thought I was rapidly clicking left |
| 05:57 | <@Azash> | But my mouse was on the middle . button |
| 05:57 | <@Azash> | Also after I said that I realized everything is turn based >_> |
| 05:58 | <@celticminstrel> | Ah. <_< |
| 06:01 | | * celticminstrel hopes the use of ,.;"[] as shortcuts won't be a problem... though if it is at least it's one that's workaround-able. |
| 06:02 | <@Azash> | Those would be |
| 06:02 | <@celticminstrel> | Aw. |
| 06:04 | | * Azash plays a sad trombone in memory of his character |
| 06:04 | <@celticminstrel> | Died? |
| 06:05 | <@celticminstrel> | I'll go fix the issue with the things requiring ,.;'[] not being clickable now. |
| 06:05 | <@celticminstrel> | Actually it's only [] I think, but still. |
| 06:06 | <@Azash> | What's [] do? |
| 06:06 | <@celticminstrel> | Select items in the inventory. |
| 06:07 | <@celticminstrel> | Or spellbook. |
| 06:07 | <@Azash> | Ah |
| 06:08 | <@celticminstrel> | I think the issue was something about jQuery not liking how many click handlers I was setting, but doing them all at once seems to have fixed the issue. |
| 06:11 | <@celticminstrel> | For some reason it still doesn't work for the 33rd item and beyond, but that's okay because there will never be 33 items or more. |
