@KommanderKlobb considering writing a ill-considered response now. mood lost when i went to send a text and my touchscreen spazzed out...
-
@guided1 ah, shame. Come along to the http://wiki.hackspace.org.uk/wiki/Space_Extension_Party this Sunday, perhaps?
-
@guided1 aww, lovely! no idea what's happening in March at the space. But will try to remember to spam you then.
-
@rclarke that seems to be failing too :/
-
@asponge a slap and a kick for being so quick!
-
@oh_cripes awww, boo. guess I still win?
-
@oh_cripes did i mention about the thursday jam nights at the space with @KommanderKlobb and @HilariousCow?
-
@KommanderKlobb @ashleygwinnell @oh_cripes @HilariousCow laziness rules my life. all are welcome. especially if you design a poster for it.
-
@oh_cripes @Slaktus @KommanderKlobb @ashleygwinnell @HilariousCow @terrycavanagh too many @s, no space for tweets!
-
@Slaktus @KommanderKlobb @ashleygwinnell @HilariousCow @terrycavanagh but yeah - use #londonindies ? - me and @oh_cripes bought the domains
-
Gamejam people! Put your games here: http://wiki.hackspace.org.uk/wiki/Gamejam (YES EVEN IF THEY'RE HALF FINISHED MESSES, REALLY)
-
@S0phieH you'll have to iron your curtains. Gravity will not pull out the creases. But at least you only have to do it once...
-
@Slaktus whoop! i feel less lonely now
-

@Slaktus both, and we both bought .org.uk. Bit of a fuckup on 123-reg's part, that. Joe said he'd build a site. Exciting, exciting!
-
Belle & Sebastian at the Roundhouse? Why yes, I would like to go to that. Anyone else?
-
@nachimir I sent a letter to mine, but unfortunately he's Jeremy Hunt.
-
@asponge It is really interesting, and I'm so glad people are making this stuff. But writing well is still a hard task, beyond computers.
-
@RubZo ... fine, I'll buy some more domain names.

@glassarmy oh god, that is awful and marvellous. but why not, after all?

@BinaryTweedDeej yes you can - one that talks over Twitter, or SMS, or IRC.
-
@musebloom That's cute! see also: http://www.code-d.com/tesco-cards/index.php
-
@asponge I think it actually excited the part of me that has a Cognitive Science MA. Not knocking them, tho, it's an insanely hard problem.
-
@KommanderKlobb Ace! I have two spare tickets. Or, I guess now only one.
-
@KommanderKlobb then you can have one each. (I was on the mailing list, so got some in a pre-sale)
-
@ashleygwinnell heh - no, tomorrow. or at least, i'll be there tomorrow. #jammingonmyown
-
@KommanderKlobb sucks, but fair enough. If you want to come down and crunch in company... otherwise, good luck!
-
@S0phieH oh, there's a world out there that the cramps lead too, too. After you've digested them properly, try "Songs The Cramps Taught Us"

@honeyslug heh, too true. at least you get some nice toys at the same time as your devkits...
-
@ashleygwinnell @Slaktus malf made one, but it was full of corpses. There's a website, though...
-
@oh_cripes @Slaktus @ashleygwinnell posterous, then? minus a point or two for hipsterishness, plus a point or two for comments.
-
I've updated CUBES - it now has some awesome music by Popolo. kongregate.com/games/vtwentyone/cubes
-
Maybe the fact that most UI code is awful and the fact that most UIs are awful are related. I have no fix, here.
-
@nickgwood But there's so much hidden crap you need to write! I spent a fair while this evening making a mute button unsurprising.

@glassarmy if my hangover was a ship then it would sink.
-
@Slaktus for a certain, very narrow definition of narrative.
-
@Slaktus Recounting is more limiting than narrative. But within recounting, choice is available - see "fateplay" and Rashomon.

pet hate: people who, on told we're experiencing timeouts, ask what error message we're being given.
-
@oh_cripes hey I like it, the net mechanic seems to kinda work, actually. Can you make it like 5x as fast?
-
@S0phieH you want the media to research an issue properly and use that research to inform their coverage? and also, the moon on a stick?
-
YES. I WANT IT. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/moon-on-stick.html

A bee killed our laser but it's fixed now. @londonhackspace (Sorry, that was a lie - it was half a bee)

@WonderlandBlog @sydneypadua you took a picture of that, but not the huge lovelace on the wall?
-
@radiodario fucking second law of thermodynamics.
-
@WonderlandBlog ... to be fair, it's a pretty distracting place...
-
@docky Iain M. Banks, always. Did you like the grand sweep of the book, or the interesting machinations, or the people?
-
@docky ... yeah, it's not his most exciting. Hmmm... everyone should read "Good Omens", though that's more the silly end of the scale...
-
@robinlacey I don't know what you're talking about - I feel fine!
-
@robinlacey you gotta follow me first...
-
@oh_cripes @Slaktus really shows the value of accepting your weaknesses, and flaunting them.
-
@rclarke more "peer review" than "impact factor", then? (but who'd read the review-reviews? how'd it work without pointless drama?)
-
@awesommelier oh, @londonhackspace has a welding torch now. You still up for some teaching?

@awesommelier and yes to Micachu. :D

-
@CphGC weird stuff. i don't know what the feeling of playing that with other people would be like? like being shouted at by a robot?
-
@CphGC bu the way the voice plays with shared knowledge is pretty cool. seems like there could be some interesting depth in that?
-
@HilariousCow Heh... watched that episode of TMWRNJ yesterday. Still excellent!
-
@nachimir definitely already happens on high-end fashion shoots - they used to use RED, but I guess Nikon and Canon are starting to cover it

@nachimir well, the difference is 25/50 frames/sec, or about 2 frames/sec. If your subject's time is worth that much more than yours...

@S0phieH But it's a problem of capital, rather than anything more hopeless. If made iOS, you could afford to make iOS.

@S0phieH i believe you could Kickstarter your way out of this. Or get investment. Fuck, I'd be willing to invest in you.
-
@pippinbarr i want more actually sexual videogames. i guess this is a step towards that.
-
@pippinbarr i mean, if you can't talk about shooting people in the arse, i guess you can't fuck them up the arse...

Here is a type of game that exists: porn games about jealousy. http://vndb.org/g513

@Slaktus I read it at an impressionable age, and it warped me.

@bendmob I saw it in Edinburgh, at the Cameo... but at the wrong screen! Bizarre to see the cinema within the film...

@bendmob (and my main take away was the I missed living in Edinburgh, and that Edinburgh is a beautiful city)

"Flash Player 10.2 will offer users of dual-core tablets and smartphones HD Flash video and up to 30 frames per second video performance."
-
Hear that? A dual-core machine will be able to display video at some number possibly lower than 30 frames a second! How incredible!
-
@KommanderKlobb I welcome Flash, don't get me wrong,but if that's the kind of wild promises they make, I'm not very hopeful it'll be useable
-
@Slaktus I'd like "at least" 30 fps, not "up to" fps. iPlayer apparently is 50 fps x264... (But then, I'll take what they give me)

@timburke55 I think it only happens if you leave it open a few days. Possibly only on Linux. Ah well.
