| 03:53 | <@randolph> | hey |
| 03:54 | < Mantisking> | Hey. |
| 03:54 | < Mantisking> | Wassup? |
| 03:56 | <@randolph> | Not much. |
| 03:56 | <@randolph> | Guild Wars 2 at the momeny |
| 03:56 | <@randolph> | *moment |
| 03:57 | < Mantisking> | I'm skimming Brickshelf for inspiration. |
| 03:58 | <@randolph> | cool |
| 03:59 | <@randolph> | I've still got some 7p conversions I wanted to try, but they haven't been very high priority |
| 04:00 | < Mantisking> | What were you going to convert? |
| 04:01 | <@randolph> | Some of the Tribes armorskins, some stuff from a robot fighting arcade game that I can't put a name to at the moment |
| 04:04 | < Mantisking> | Cool. Now I'm deleting spammer registrations. |
| 04:07 | <@randolph> | hehe |
| 04:11 | < Mantisking> | Yeah, yeah, laugh it up. |
| 04:26 | <@randolph> | :| |
| 04:30 | < Mantisking> | Look at that, I'm down to 200 spam accounts left. |
| 04:37 | <~McMartin> | OMNIMURDER SURPREME |
| 04:40 | < Mantisking> | Whaaaat? |
| 04:42 | <~McMartin> | The solution to spam |
| 04:50 | < Mantisking> | Ah. |
| 05:22 | < Mantisking> | All right, bed time for me. Later, all. |

| 14:21 | <@Soren> | There we go. |
| 14:25 | < Mantisking> | Hola. |
| 14:26 | <@Soren> | evening. |
| 14:27 | < Mantisking> | Morning for me, here on the other side of the planet. |
| 14:27 | <@Soren> | naturally. |
| 14:27 | < Mantisking> | How's things? |
| 14:29 | <@Soren> | Pretty good. |
| 14:30 | <@Soren> | ordering a new desktop, so I can get started on a couple gigs. |
| 14:30 | <@Soren> | and because I love the smell of fresh electronics like any self-respecting dork. |
| 14:30 | < Mantisking> | That's cool. |
| 14:31 | <@Soren> | I'm enthusiastic. It's been a while since I had a chance to buy new hardware. |
| 14:31 | <@Soren> | How about you? |
| 14:31 | < Mantisking> | I think we bought a new desktop last year. |
| 14:32 | < Mantisking> | We've been discussing a new tablet or netbook for Katy so she can use it to log her recipes while cooking. |
| 14:32 | <@Soren> | I'm pretty happy with my iPad for casual use. |
| 14:32 | <@Soren> | I find it's better than a laptop for 90% of what I need a laptop's portability for. |
| 14:33 | < Mantisking> | We'd need something fairly small because counter space is at a premium. |
| 14:33 | <@Soren> | mm. |
| 14:33 | < Mantisking> | So a netbook or medium sized tablet would probably be best. |
| 14:34 | <@Soren> | Well, whatever you get, snag a text editor app for it that can dump to Dropbox. It's great for workflow. |
| 14:34 | <@Soren> | and redundancy seems like the best plan for something that could get drenched in soup. |
| 14:34 | < Mantisking> | I'll keep that in mind. :-) |
| 14:35 | < Mantisking> | To give a real answer to the question you asked, things are going well. |
| 14:35 | <@Soren> | I'm glad to hear it. |
| 14:35 | < Mantisking> | We just shipped out on Friday the first machine in the project I'm working on. |
| 14:35 | <@Soren> | Bet that's a relief. |
| 14:35 | < Mantisking> | Yeah. |
| 14:36 | < Mantisking> | It was cool to see it finished and working. |
| 14:37 | < Mantisking> | Katy and I -- and the kung fu school we attend -- are gearing up for Chinese New Year season. |
| 14:37 | <@Soren> | excellent. I'm looking forward to the holiday too - Julie and I are thinking we might treat ourselves and spend it in Singapore. |
| 14:38 | < Mantisking> | From what I've seen of Singapore in travel shows, that'd be neat. |
| 14:40 | <@Soren> | it's an interesting city. |
| 14:41 | <@Soren> | There's a certain sense of adventure required to navigate a place that can go from English-speaking to not in the space of half a block. |
| 14:43 | < Mantisking> | I'd probably be a lot confused. |
| 14:45 | <@Soren> | Probabluy, but public transit is good and it's hard to actually get lost. |
| 14:45 | <@Soren> | -u |
| 14:46 | < Mantisking> | That's cool. |
| 14:47 | < Mantisking> | Uuurrgh. I'm trying to write a blog post and I'm not really feeling it. |
| 14:47 | <@Soren> | There's a degree of embarrassment when you realize that you're interacting with cultures that have roughly a thousand years more experience at handling culture-shocked outsiders gracefully. It passes. |
| 14:48 | <@Soren> | Writer's block is pretty terrible. |

| 14:50 | <@Soren> | I'd imagine you're still kind of wiped out from Friday, though. |

| 16:29 | < Malcolm> | Well well well, people have actually been talking here. Well I never |
| 16:30 | < Mantisking> | Yeah. Apparently it happens from time to time. |
| 16:31 | < Malcolm> | So I've heard |
| 16:32 | < Mantisking> | Really I just wanted to start some conversations between people after the debacle on the Hangar lately. |
| 16:32 | < Malcolm> | In kind of a related matter, people who leave anonymous posts on Mechatonic don't seem to realise that Wordpress logs IP addresses. And that makes it either fairly obvious who from the forum is making the posts or it's a huge coincidence. |
| 16:32 | < Malcolm> | Hilarious! |
| 16:34 | < Mantisking> | Heh. I've been thinking about a post talking about free speech on my blog. |
| 16:35 | < Malcolm> | Sounds like a good thing to post about. Complex, but good. |
| 16:36 | < Malcolm> | But really, someone wants me to die of cancer because of something I said about a game of Lego robots? Really? I don't mind being insulted, but it's not a very imaginative insult. That's what hurts. When people just don't put in the time and effort. Kids these days, eh? |
| 16:37 | < Mantisking> | It's a shame though, seeing the community split over such a stupid issue. |
| 16:39 | < Malcolm> | There's a good debate to be had, but it's difficult to have such a debate one only one side is willing to discuss things in good faith and without equivocation |
| 16:42 | < Mantisking> | Good debating skills and debating in good faith seems to be a thing of the past. |
| 16:44 | < Malcolm> | Well, anonymity discourages decency and reason. |
| 16:44 | < Mantisking> | It's not just online though. Look at the current political environment in the U.S. |
| 16:45 | < Malcolm> | Why spend time coming up with a rational argument when you can just go "Ha ha you fuck die twat die in fire LOL" without any consequences at all |
| 16:45 | < Malcolm> | The corollary of free speech is taking responsibility for what you say. Anonymity absolves you of the very important corollary, while allowing to freedom in the first instance |
| 16:45 | < Malcolm> | total, not to |
| 16:50 | < Mantisking> | Yeah. That was going to be the thrust of my article, "just because you can doesn't mean you should". |
| 16:51 | < Mantisking> | To bring things around to a happier note, I think I've got enough back-logged posts to cover the next month on my blog. |
| 16:54 | < Malcolm> | Oh, great! |
| 16:54 | < Malcolm> | I'm in the midst of marking undergraduate work and doing research at the moment, so posts have been a little sparse |
| 16:56 | < Mantisking> | You starting your blog again has inspired me to start writing for mine again. |

| 18:55 | < Mantisking> | The one Malcolm and I were talking about. |
| 18:57 | < CaGeRit> | Hmm. Must have missed it. |
| 18:57 | < CaGeRit> | Any way yay for minifig scale. |

| 18:58 | < Mantisking> | Looks pretty good. |
| 18:58 | < CaGeRit> | Not perfect, but at MFO scale (7p is it?) there is bound to be some abstraction. |
| 18:58 | < Mantisking> | MF0 is generally 7p. |
