| 03:19 | <~Noah> | In search of a camera |
| 03:20 | <~Noah> | Something with good macro |
| 03:47 | <~Noah> | Grr |
| 03:47 | <~Noah> | Found a good camera, but the asshole posted his Kentucky add in Tennessee |
| 03:49 | <~Noah> | http://www.fujifilmusa.com/products/digital_cameras/j/finepix_j50/specifications /index.html |
| 03:56 | <~Noah> | or this http://store.kodak.com/store/ekconsus/en_US/pd/M580_Digital_Camera/productID.169 771600 |
| 03:56 | <~Noah> | 50$ and 40$ respectively |

| 05:05 | < ferrelferret> | Hallo... |
| 05:05 | <@McMartin> | Hey there ff |
| 05:31 | <~Noah> | Hey ferrelferret |
| 05:32 | <~Noah> | Did you see the post about favorite scale |
| 05:33 | < ferrelferret> | Not recently |
| 05:34 | <~Noah> | I dunno how I feel about scales to be honest, 7p seems smallish to me, and I like the idea of minifig scale, but that seems big |
| 05:34 | <~Noah> | http://www.mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=762 |
| 05:36 | < ferrelferret> | Images on the last post aren't working. Getting a broken image. :( |
| 05:36 | < ferrelferret> | but i'm personally fond of 7p |
| 05:36 | <~Noah> | On mine? |
| 05:36 | <~Noah> | Balls, sec |
| 05:37 | < ferrelferret> | mao42ranma? |
| 05:37 | <~Noah> | Yea, that's mine |
| 05:39 | < ferrelferret> | this is what i see |
| 05:39 | < ferrelferret> | http://s438.photobucket.com/albums/qq102/FerrelFerret/?action=view¤t=Scree nShot2012-05-10at113809PM.png |
| 05:43 | <~Noah> | Try again |
| 05:44 | < ferrelferret> | That is a nice scale. ;) |
| 05:44 | < ferrelferret> | lol |
| 05:44 | <~Noah> | Haha |
| 05:45 | <~Noah> | My parents are potheads, and they gave me an old scale once because I needed to something for a science project...borax powder I think |
| 05:45 | < ferrelferret> | I saw you posting some minifig stuff here a couple of nights ago. |
| 05:45 | <~Noah> | And that was what it looked like, heh |
| 05:45 | <~Noah> | I guess they're minifig scale |
| 05:45 | <~Noah> | I just sorta built them |
| 05:45 | < ferrelferret> | one sec... |
| 05:45 | <~Noah> | How talk is a mini, 3 blocks? |
| 05:46 | <~Noah> | tall, frak |
| 05:46 | <@McMartin> | 10 plates, I think? |
| 05:46 | <~Noah> | lemme dig one out |
| 05:49 | < ferrelferret> | This guy has some great stuff. |

| 05:49 | <~Noah> | Looks to be 12 plates |

| 05:50 | <~Noah> | those are sweet |
| 05:50 | < ferrelferret> | I know! XD |
| 05:52 | <~Noah> | Minifig doesn't fit in either of my vehicles technically |
| 05:53 | < ferrelferret> | I'm really just waiting for someone to shoot me in the PbP game! XD |
| 05:53 | < ferrelferret> | really? |
| 05:53 | <~Noah> | He fits in the hovercraft if he lays back, but I don't suspect he would pilot it that way |
| 05:53 | < ferrelferret> | well, if you want to make them that big, go big or go home! XD |
| 05:53 | <~Noah> | haha |
| 05:54 | <~Noah> | I'm fine with them being 7p and just big mean machines |
| 05:54 | <~Noah> | Like |
| 05:54 | <~Noah> | Huge, really |
| 05:55 | <~Noah> | I'm sure two 7ps would fit in the truck, and probably 2 for the hovercraft too |
| 05:55 | <~Noah> | they're just...bulky |
| 05:55 | <~Noah> | brb, need to beat my son, he keep flipping over his toddler bed because he doesn't want to go to bed at a reasonable hour |
| 05:56 | < ferrelferret> | uh oh... |
| 05:59 | < ferrelferret> | AFK for a few |
| 05:59 | <~Noah> | back |
| 06:00 | <~Noah> | Now wife is snoring, uhg |
| 06:01 | <~Noah> | I could probably put a minifig in the hovercraft if I raised the cockpit some how, but I used what snot I had to get it where it is |
| 06:16 | < ferrelferret> | back |
| 06:16 | < ferrelferret> | ahh |
| 06:17 | < ferrelferret> | I haven't tried making anything at minifig scale |
| 06:17 | < ferrelferret> | most of my legos for childhood are off limits |
| 06:17 | < ferrelferret> | as they are used by ny nephew and nieces |
| 06:17 | <@McMartin> | Heh |
| 06:18 | <~Noah> | Ah |
| 06:18 | <@McMartin> | Have them build tiny robots for you! |
| 06:19 | <~Noah> | I want to watch Terra-E again |
| 06:20 | < ferrelferret> | I haven't seen that. |
| 06:20 | <~Noah> | I think I'm going to make a blog for the IRC channel, so I can add that page to the wiki |
| 06:20 | < ferrelferret> | I'm probably going to watch Macross F again |
| 06:20 | <~Noah> | Terra-E isn't about big robots sadly |
| 06:20 | <~Noah> | Well, not technically, it's about big spaceships |
| 06:21 | < ferrelferret> | and finish Tegan Toppa Gurren Lagen |
| 06:21 | < ferrelferret> | ahh |
| 06:21 | < ferrelferret> | that's still good |
| 06:21 | < ferrelferret> | :) |
| 06:22 | <~Noah> | At it's core, it's about people with mind-powers being oppressed by people without mind powers |
| 06:22 | < ferrelferret> | so, like Gundam. ;) |
| 06:23 | < ferrelferret> | I'm thinking about making a frame based off of the nightmare frames in Code Geass |
| 06:24 | <~Noah> | I guess? Was that what Gundam was about? |
| 06:24 | <~Noah> | I missed out on all the big robot animes, so I've got catching up to do |
| 06:29 | <~Noah> | I'm thinking I might start with VOTOMS |
| 06:30 | < ferrelferret> | Well, people living in space began to start getting powers |
| 06:30 | < ferrelferret> | they didn't want normal humans telling them what to do |
| 06:31 | < ferrelferret> | I'm not totally sure if it exactly alike, as I'm not a huge fan of Gundam |
| 06:31 | < ferrelferret> | I haven't seen VOTOMS |
| 06:31 | < ferrelferret> | I started with Robotech. |
| 06:31 | < ferrelferret> | I'm currently rewatching it as SDF macross |
| 06:32 | < ferrelferret> | I'm also watching Beast King Golion, the original Japanese version of Voltron. |
| 06:33 | < ferrelferret> | I picked it up at an anime convention on DVD |
| 06:43 | <~Noah> | Nice |
| 06:46 | < ferrelferret> | Yeah, I manage the Dealer Room for a convention down here in Dallas, so I can get some nice deals. XD |
| 06:46 | <~Noah> | Lucky |
| 06:46 | < ferrelferret> | I'm totally demoing MF0 this year |
| 06:46 | < ferrelferret> | Trying to get official support |
| 06:47 | < ferrelferret> | in talks with Joshua |
| 06:47 | <~Noah> | Yea, I'm thinking about demoing MF0 at our local wargame store, depends on what all I can get made up |
| 06:47 | < ferrelferret> | and it was luck |
| 06:47 | < ferrelferret> | My ex was is a manager there too... |
| 06:48 | <~Noah> | Uhg, almost 2, I gotta get some sleep |
| 06:48 | <~Noah> | Gotta see about getting a camera tomorrow |
| 06:48 | < ferrelferret> | cool |
| 06:48 | < ferrelferret> | have a good night |
| 06:48 | <~Noah> | G'night, make something neat |
| 06:49 | < ferrelferret> | you east coasters with your early bed times. ;) |
| 16:40 | <@McMartin> | Woohoo, my little crawler mining tank is at its best design point, finally |
| 16:40 | <@McMartin> | https://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~mcmartin/mfz_proto/smrp-03_twinbee.jpg |
| 16:43 | <@McMartin> | Definitely not much of a mining vehicle anymore though; it's now 24 feet across |
| 16:52 | <@McMartin> | This is also the first time I've managed to do any SNOT-based tricks and still have the result be both structurally sound and manage proper abutment of bricks |
| 17:26 | <~Noah> | Looks cool McMartin |
| 17:26 | <~Noah> | Stupid cat keeps walking on my keyboard in the night |
| 17:27 | <@TheShadow> | That's what it wants you to think it's doing. Really it's communicating in code with other cats across the world. |
| 17:27 | <~Noah> | Woah, one of my orders is expected to arrive today |
| 17:27 | <~Noah> | Holy crap, both of them are |
| 17:28 | <~Noah> | One wasn't supposed to arrive until monday, they really got the lead out |
| 17:28 | <~Noah> | Must've flown to Knoxville. Handy having an airport sometimes |
| 17:28 | <~Noah> | At least when I ship USPS |
| 17:31 | <~Noah> | Lack 4G, no call and data at same time |
| 17:31 | <~Noah> | blah |
| 17:31 | <~Noah> | Luckily the call was quick enough not to disconnect me everywhere, lol |

| 23:32 | < Noah> | McMartin: I'd like to order 3 |
| 23:32 | <@McMartin> | Apparently they'll be on the open-mech market (?!!!!!) soon enough! |
| 23:33 | < Noah> | Oh good, my local open mech market has been kind of dry lately |
| 23:41 | <@TheShadow> | I'd be more impressed by that if it wasn't for the "wheeled legs" bit. Make it walk properly, and then I'll be impressed... |
| 23:45 | <@McMartin> | 12 feet is a really uncomfortable size for a piloted biped with working legs. |
| 23:48 | <@TheShadow> | The obvious answer: make it bigger!~ |
| 23:48 | <@McMartin> | Yes, actually |
| 23:48 | <@McMartin> | If you're doing body emulation the pilot's body kinda has to fit inside the torso completely, or it has to be a hardsuit |
