00:31 < fenn> good bit of advice that i'd like to get into skdb eventually: wind the cord onto a drum, by turning the drum. Do not wind the cord onto a stationary drum by hand. This will put a twist in the cord for every turn around the drum, which will cause you no end of tangling trouble later.

01:17 < fenn> "Liquid crystal devices are electro-optical phase modulators if no polarizers are used." this means you can use an lcd panel to cause destructive interference between two laser beams at each pixel?

08:06 < kanzure> "And now, for a limited time, you can buy this commemorative plate featuring the likeness of President-elect Barack Obama"
