| superturtle | No takers? Really? | 00:25 |

| fenn | http://www.britfilms.tv/images/reviews/Q.jpg | 00:43 |
| superturtle | watch yer %20's | 00:43 |
| fenn | coincidence? | 00:43 |
| superturtle | somewhat funny. | 00:44 |
| fenn | That Q guy showed up again. I suggested to the Captain that this guy wasn't some all-powerful, godlike alien, and that he was probably using some kind of advanced replicator or nanotech-based tech which we could probably figure out and disable, what with having a sentient computer as a crewmember, but the Cap would hear nothing of it, instead opting for going on endless debates about the future of humanity with this cosmic jerk. | 00:48 |
| superturtle | warp 12! engage! | 00:49 |
| superturtle | so I picked up a book on the mechanics of materials | 00:57 |
| superturtle | as far as I can tell, it's all the type of newtonian classical mechanics that I dislike. | 00:59 |
| superturtle | http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2969446 WHY CAN'T I TORRENT HARDWARE | 01:49 |
| superturtle | re: RTL, Verilog, VHDL; see Atom, Lava, Chortl, and Confluence | 01:49 |
| superturtle | Speaking of which, what would hardware torrenting look like? | 02:01 |
| superturtle | Digital schematic torrenting is already done of course; | 02:01 |
| superturtle | I'm talking about the idea of distributed p2p hardware piecewise distribution services. | 02:02 |
| superturtle | In a sense, this is already what is happening; the difference is that there's no code directing parts from individuals to each other, i.e. using centralized mail/package delivery services instead | 02:02 |
| superturtle | the repo format is really confusing. | 03:08 |
| superturtle | I know it was generated with some software app-tool-thing, but seriously, it just looks like somebody went wild with XML fever | 03:09 |
| superturtle | I was just looking over the zip drive. | 03:10 |
| superturtle | http://heybryan.org/~bbishop/docs/repo/zip%20drive.repo | 03:10 |
| superturtle | Also, the fact that designs aren't graphs kind of worries me. It's just a collection of subcomponents all thrown into a salad. | 03:27 |
| fenn | superturtle: reprap was supposed to be something like that | 04:38 |
| fenn | peer to peer hardware manufact + distribution | 04:39 |
| fenn | it makes more sense though if each person mass produced one part to send to everyone else | 04:39 |

| procto | this is the first ever private orbital insertion | 05:12 |
| ybit | hi Aulere | 05:23 |
| Aulere | hi | 05:23 |
| ybit | good point procto | 05:23 |

| superturtle | Argh. | 05:47 |
| superturtle | It's never too early to start writing "WHY THIS PROJECT IS NOT AI" documents. | 05:47 |
| -!- mindspillage is now known as mind|wandering | 06:02 | |
| bkero | and I'm officially homeless in New York. :) | 06:27 |
| superturtle | bkero - there's a few transhuman friends I have up in New York that might be able to take you in | 06:33 |
| superturtle | if you need it. | 06:33 |
| bkero | superturtle: That would be great | 06:34 |
| superturtle | Let me look into it. Don't bet on it. | 06:34 |
| bkero | I've got a friend getting back wed-fri, his father had a heart attack, so I'm homeless until he gets back. | 06:34 |
| superturtle | You have a car? | 06:35 |
| bkero | Nope | 06:35 |
| bkero | I can navigate subways(i think) | 06:36 |
| superturtle | Nah, not what I was thinking of. | 06:37 |
| bkero | What were you? | 06:37 |
| superturtle | Car. Sleep. | 06:37 |
| bkero | Oh, sorry | 06:38 |
| bkero | Nope, I'm in the portland airport right now | 06:38 |
| bkero | Traveling to JFK in an hour | 06:38 |
| superturtle | http://heybryan.org/~bbishop/docs/repo/todo.html various thoughts of little relevance. | 06:56 |
| superturtle | Hm. | 07:05 |
| superturtle | What I need is some food for thought. | 07:05 |
| superturtle | Go forth and bring me photos of weird machine with weird surface contact problems were I to make it into a graph-based design! | 07:05 |
| superturtle | s/machine/machines/ | 07:06 |
| superturtle | ybit: new neurocommons release | 07:06 |
| bkero | Can anybody vouch for me on couchsurfing.com? | 07:08 |
| superturtle | Link? | 07:09 |
| ybit | thanks superturtle :) | 07:09 |

| ybit | gn | 07:12 |
| superturtle | btw, ex: http://tetrajet.com/carnation_distributer_line.jpg most of this isn't weird, just inclined planes and surface contacts, but it's worth noting. | 07:13 |

| UtopiahGHML | CouchSurfing rules. | 07:32 |
| nsh | kanzure_ | 10:12 |
| nsh | have you ever considered setting up an RSS feed of your bookmarks? | 10:13 |
| nsh | i would certainly appreciate this | 10:13 |
| UtopiahGHML | like delicious? | 10:15 |
| UtopiahGHML | nsh: offer him the delicious plugin to synchronize his bookmarks and point your feedreader to his delicious account then you will have live news of what he bookmarks for free. | 10:18 |
| UtopiahGHML | (he could even dedicate special bookmarks for you or you could have feeds on special tags/keywords) | 10:19 |
| nsh | meh @ delicious | 10:20 |
| kanzure_ | beep | 15:50 |
| nsh | yo | 15:52 |
| nsh | what's up? | 15:52 |
| kanzure_ | linux installation stuffs. | 15:56 |
| kanzure_ | nsh: what sort of RSS setup for my bookmarks would you want to see? I could set up diff to periodically run on my 3+ MB ADR file, and then markup the changes and put that into the form of an RSS feed or something | 15:57 |
| kanzure_ | UtopiahGHML: I have a strong distaste for delicious. :( | 15:58 |
| kanzure_ | heh, so does nsh :) | 15:58 |
| * nsh smiles | 15:58 | |
| kanzure_ | ok, I'm going offline for a while to install some debianism. | 16:00 |
| -!- yb is now known as ybit | 16:40 | |

| superturtle | yay nathan came to my rescue in response to patrick on openmanufacturing | 19:45 |
| nsh | what was the point of contention? | 19:45 |
| superturtle | "waah u needz monies" | 19:45 |
| superturtle | "Any sufficiently advanced garbage is indistinguishable from magic." | 19:45 |
| superturtle | "Any sufficiently stupid play on Sufficiently Clarke Quotes is indistinguishable from boredom." <- k, I'm bored. | 19:45 |
| superturtle | hm, what's p2presearch@listcultures.org ? | 19:46 |
