kanzure | "Vinay Gidwaney, research affiliate, synthetic neurobiology group of MIT | 00:04 |
kanzure | Media Lab and co-founder of Energy Inside, has found a way to make sad | 00:04 |
kanzure | people feel ..." | 00:04 |
fenn | to make them feel what? | 00:04 |
kanzure | EVEN SADDER | 00:04 |
fenn | JOY! i mean SAD! | 00:05 |
fenn | delicious self pity | 00:05 |
kanzure | skdb/web/web.py is bloaty and it sucks | 00:06 |
kanzure | piny would have been a good replacement but the target platform is a little off (wiki compiler, perl, etc.) | 00:06 |
fenn | piny == ikiwiki? | 00:07 |
kanzure | all i want is something that serves up content from /var/git/ (or some other directory) | 00:07 |
kanzure | piny is jrayhawk's crud on top of ikiwiki | 00:07 |
kanzure | presumably for a project management platform or something | 00:08 |
kanzure | jrayhawk: ping | 00:08 |
kanzure | i want a python-based ikiwiki without necessitating compiling or anything like that | 00:08 |
kanzure | and then skdb tools can be thrown into a plugin dir or something | 00:08 |
kanzure | user accounts on this web environment should be linked to linux users on the system (none of this "custom user database" bullshit) | 00:09 |
jrayhawk | so you'd just be serving up raw markdown? | 00:09 |
kanzure | but also allowing online anonymous wiki edits to the content (not impossible) | 00:09 |
jrayhawk | they have a tool for that, it's called "a web server" | 00:10 |
kanzure | no, i'd probably throw it through a markdown parser before showing it to the user | 00:10 |
jrayhawk | what? you just said you didn't want to do that | 00:10 |
kanzure | GET and POST requests correspond to different scripts running on the server to spit out and pretty up content | 00:11 |
kanzure | (ideally) | 00:11 |
jrayhawk | okay in what way would your parser not be compiling something | 00:11 |
kanzure | this is stupid. i was talking about ikiwiki | 00:11 |
kanzure | which compiles files through some parser (etc.) and then generates more static files | 00:12 |
kanzure | which it then serves up | 00:12 |
fenn | seems like a pointless implementation detail | 00:12 |
kanzure | i don't wanna anticipate every possible user request | 00:12 |
fenn | who cares if it caches the output | 00:12 |
kanzure | because the parameters will supposedly be unique each time? | 00:12 |
fenn | but they won't | 00:13 |
kanzure | really? consider an inventory system for computing what hardware a user has and what hardware the user requires | 00:13 |
fenn | why would you use a wiki for that | 00:13 |
kanzure | inventory.yaml would be under revision control and able to be edited from the web just like everything else, in this proposed setup | 00:14 |
jrayhawk | i am not really the person to help you code up anything and your desires are basically incoherent to me at this point so i am just going to say "have fun with that!" and move on | 00:14 |
kanzure | (of course, inventory.yaml is specific to the user or to the server (i don't know which yet)) | 00:14 |
kanzure | jrayhawk: fair enough, buut i was hoping you could dump a few notes on what piny is in terms of project management | 00:15 |
kanzure | you did so in omg but not in here (i know, i should just go copy and paste) | 00:15 |
kanzure | also: i'd like to point out that i said "without necessitating compiling", which isn't the same as "nothing should be compiled" | 00:16 |

kanzure | i imagine some wordpress and drupal plugins would be a good example of things more complicated than (templating language -> fancy html output) | 00:17 |
jrayhawk | Oh, most of the project management methodology involves aggregating tagged metadata inside the markdown on both pages and rss feeds such that it can be managed with rss2email (this i am already doing with ikiwiki elsewhere) and also shoving development email archives into the git repo such that they can also be processed by the compiler for publishing and metadata extraction. | 00:18 |
jrayhawk | The "shoving mailing list archives into ikiwiki" thing is something I only have plans for at this point. | 00:18 |
kanzure | is there stuff in piny for managing multiple ikiwiki installations over the web? | 00:18 |
kanzure | *or should there be stuf | 00:18 |
kanzure | *stuff | 00:18 |
jrayhawk | Sorta. Everything I've planned out is in that page I linked you. | 00:19 |
kanzure | http://piny.be/piny-code/architecture/needed_user_facing_infrastructure/ | 00:19 |
jrayhawk | Yeah. | 00:19 |
jrayhawk | There already exists a web configuration frontend to Ikiwiki, but it looked dangerous for my mass-hosting purposes. | 00:20 |
jrayhawk | I'd probably wind up reimplementing safe portions of it. | 00:20 |
jrayhawk | Or thieving safe portions of it. | 00:20 |
kanzure | maybe i just have a bad case of NIH | 00:22 |
jrayhawk | i suspect that exists in you due to evolutionary pressures that drive creativity and exploration | 00:23 |
-!- klafka [~klafka@cpe-66-66-5-254.rochester.res.rr.com] has joined #hplusroadmap | 00:25 | |
jrayhawk | to be fair i basically consider ikiwiki to be unmaintainable by anyone but Joey, and that does worry me | 00:28 |
jrayhawk | (the quick project management methodology summary above sorta assumes you're sufficiently familiar with DVCS to understand the immediate benefits of keeping everything inside of version control, including bugs and mail) | 00:30 |
kanzure | no, i think bugseverywhere (and others) are pretty neat | 00:31 |
jrayhawk | (and your public web content, of course) | 00:31 |
kanzure | fenn: halp, what should i do | 00:35 |
jrayhawk | calendaring would be an interesting addition | 00:35 |
jrayhawk | I guess that could be pulled off with with KathrynAnderson's plugins as is. | 00:37 |
jrayhawk | I should give that a shot. | 00:37 |

fenn | i don't personally want to maintain a git-based wiki system, so uh, try to find someone else who is doing it already? | 01:27 |
fenn | sorry i dont have any good advice | 01:28 |
kanzure | jacob wants to make a radio-sensitive promoter | 01:33 |
fenn | i dont think that's physically possible | 01:34 |
fenn | not without serious molecular understanding of macrostructures and development | 01:35 |
fenn | what's wrong with optical frequencies? | 01:35 |
kanzure | forrest was reporting to me from diybio-houston | 01:36 |
-!- Forrest [~F7@c-98-201-172-235.hsd1.tx.comcast.net] has joined #hplusroadmap | 01:38 | |
Forrest | Hey Brian, I'm in. | 01:38 |
JayDugger | Speak of the devil, welcome, Forrest. | 01:38 |
kanzure | hello | 01:38 |
kanzure | so, the meeting went well? | 01:38 |
Forrest | Very, Two new bio majors came in, one active in her own research, also a CS student. | 01:39 |
Forrest | We mostly talked about what it might take to get a radio sensitive promoter | 01:39 |
kanzure | 01:35 < fenn> what's wrong with optical frequencies? | 01:40 |
Forrest | They're easily blocked | 01:40 |
Forrest | Trying to go longer | 01:40 |
fenn | what are you trying to do exactly? | 01:40 |
Forrest | Jacob was talking about a HeLa study where the cells went apeshit in response to cell phone radiation | 01:41 |
klafka | interesting | 01:41 |
JayDugger | What does "apeshit" mean in this context? | 01:41 |
fenn | link or it didnt happen | 01:41 |
Forrest | They thrived | 01:41 |
Forrest | I'd call jacob but I don't think he's a night owl by any stretch | 01:42 |
fenn | tbh this sounds like conspiracy paranoia bullshit, just my opinion | 01:42 |
JayDugger | I'm less skeptical than fenn, but go on. | 01:42 |
Forrest | He was just going to look at expression and see if any particular MRNAs popped out | 01:43 |
Forrest | if so, that's something to go by | 01:43 |
Forrest | if not, find a new project maybe | 01:44 |
JayDugger | Can he reproduce the effect? | 01:44 |
fenn | i would start by trying to replicate the experiment | 01:44 |
kanzure | do you mean he wants to use these dubious reports of cell phone radiation inducing effects in cells as a way to find radio-sensitive promoters? | 01:44 |
kanzure | or is he trying to prove cell phone radiation propaganda stuff | 01:44 |
Forrest | Yeah. | 01:44 |
Forrest | wait no | 01:44 |
kanzure | ;lkfdsjfads | 01:44 |
fenn | -_- | 01:44 |
Forrest | but he thinks that something might be radio sensitive | 01:44 |
JayDugger | And does he still beat his wife? ;) | 01:44 |
fenn | and have you told your mom you're gay | 01:45 |
JayDugger | Okay. | 01:45 |
kanzure | JayDugger: i was just trying to figure out what we're talking about | 01:45 |
JayDugger | Has anyone reproduced the effect? | 01:45 |
kanzure | if jacob was fixating on cell phones, i'd be concerned | 01:45 |
kanzure | but honestly it wouldn't be far-fetched to be generally fixating on radio-sensitive promoters | 01:45 |
Forrest | I don't know much about it, just a general plan of action | 01:45 |
kanzure | whatevs | 01:45 |
kanzure | anywho, what else? | 01:45 |
Forrest | Talking about thermocycler designs | 01:46 |
fenn | i'm sure there are radio sensitive phenomena in biology, but why would it have anything to do with ovarian cancer cell culture? | 01:46 |
kanzure | have you read the threads on diybio re: thermocycler designs? | 01:46 |
kanzure | there's been a good 150+ posts on the topic in individual threads from time to time | 01:46 |
Forrest | I'll get a look. I was just going on the stuff that was figured out when Merideth was over here | 01:47 |
Forrest | I was thinking about casting some aluminum so that it'd take an epi tube | 01:48 |
Forrest | Anything for an excuse to get a foundry burning at the hackerspace here | 01:49 |
fenn | i'd suggest making something like an idaho "glass capillary tubes arranged around a lightbulb" | 01:49 |
kanzure | fenn: one of the things i was thinking of for opensciencefund.org was skdb packages in .git repositories with metadata pointing back to a "tracker server" (an installation of piny, skdb/web/web.py or something) which counts and tracks monetary pledges (like kickstarter except distributed) | 01:49 |
fenn | they to a lot of fancy machining on the blocks to reduce its thermal mass | 01:49 |
Forrest | I noticed, part of the reason I'd like a cast part | 01:50 |
kanzure | this way you don't have monetary pledges to .git repositories on random places across the web | 01:50 |
fenn | i dont think pledges should be kept in revision control | 01:50 |
kanzure | they won't be | 01:50 |
fenn | we dont have a distributed money system with which to implement it | 01:51 |
kanzure | more like a line saying "main server is at: http://blah.org/" | 01:51 |
kanzure | and then they can access that server to get back deets like how much has been pledged | 01:51 |
fenn | ok fine | 01:51 |
kanzure | (or at least this is the best that i have come up with so far) | 01:51 |
fenn | how about oshwbank | 01:52 |
fenn | does it actually do anything yet? | 01:52 |
kanzure | no, they just use a giant .ods file | 01:52 |
kanzure | http://oshwbank.org/ | 01:52 |
fenn | blah ok nevermind | 01:53 |
kanzure | :( | 01:53 |
kanzure | how the *hell* does a spreadsheet make wired magazine? | 01:53 |
fenn | by misrepresenting what it actually is | 01:54 |
fenn | i mean it certainly looks like a functional website | 01:54 |
kanzure | heh i like the recent xkcd re: geoip | 01:56 |
fenn | they seem to have gotten rid of the page that explains wtf is going on | 01:56 |
kanzure | they're a front for liquidware | 01:57 |
kanzure | JayDugger: star wars is still good for something http://xkcd.com/709/ | 01:58 |
Utopiah | beside oshwbank and the upcoming OpenScienceFund.org , are there other "community funding" solution focusing on "open" projects? maybe for other domains? | 01:59 |
JayDugger | I have a standing New Year's Resolution from 2006: never discuss religion with co-workers. | 01:59 |
kanzure | JayDugger: here's a challenge: only discuss religion with co-workers when the religion is neither yours nor theirs | 01:59 |
kanzure | most people can't seem to discuss sufficiently diverse religions though | 02:00 |
JayDugger | Not only does it prevent arguments, it conceals gaps in the corpus from which this chatbot draws responses. :) | 02:00 |
kanzure | Utopiah: awesomefund maybe | 02:00 |
JayDugger | I save that for my sister, with her Theology degree from a Jesuit school. | 02:00 |
Utopiah | JayDugger: I made my own "chatbot draws responses" http://fabien.benetou.fr/AutoDebate/ReligionVsScience | 02:00 |
fenn | supposedly fundscience but i think they are barking madly in all directions | 02:01 |
fenn | s/barking/galloping/ | 02:02 |
fenn | barking in a forest? | 02:02 |
kanzure | i'm not convinced about crowdfunding in general | 02:02 |
kanzure | who cares what the crowd thinks | 02:02 |
kanzure | i have some robot armies to make | 02:02 |
fenn | yeah whatever happened to the good old days when radicals just robbed banks | 02:02 |
kanzure | srsly | 02:02 |
Utopiah | ok, thanks | 02:02 |
Forrest | It works sometimes. | 02:03 |
kanzure | the joker never had to open up a kickstarter.com account | 02:03 |
kanzure | he just robbed the god damned bank | 02:03 |
kanzure | and got to work ASAP on his robot toy armies | 02:03 |
JayDugger | Utopiah, in my experience, arguing rationally about faith constitutes an error of the Porcine Music Lesson class. | 02:03 |
Forrest | Jacob got his funds to make that gumball machine reactor | 02:04 |
JayDugger | As in, teaching a pig sing annoys the pig and wastes your time. | 02:04 |
fenn | the joker wasn't real. i was thinking more like the symbionese liberation army | 02:04 |
Forrest | he hasn't gotten around to it yet.. | 02:04 |
kanzure | Forrest: but it doesn't matter if "it works sometimes" | 02:04 |
JayDugger | Arguing from fictional evidence, anyone? :) | 02:04 |
kanzure | what? | 02:04 |
kanzure | symbionese liberation army wasn't fictional IIRC | 02:05 |
fenn | go back and read what i just said | 02:05 |
JayDugger | You can't seriously cite the Joker (or your imaginary character of choice). SLA existed | 02:05 |
JayDugger | SLA existed, yes. | 02:05 |
kanzure | ok so your comment was specifically aimed at me? | 02:05 |
fenn | yes | 02:05 |
kanzure | makes sense now | 02:05 |
JayDugger | Mine aimed at you and those who cite faith or revelation in an argument. | 02:06 |
JayDugger | I meant it to tie together the thread with Utopiah and the thread of your remarks. | 02:07 |
JayDugger | I usually fail in those attempts, generating non sequiturs instead of insights. | 02:07 |
fenn | i wonder if i should just not talk to people at all unless they're agnostic or atheist | 02:08 |
fenn | otherwise they haven't demonstrated a basic level of cluefulness | 02:08 |
fenn | and what's the point? | 02:08 |
kanzure | i don't think you should start by asking if they meet basic qualifications before you talk with them | 02:09 |
kanzure | i tried that | 02:09 |
JayDugger | I suggest you avoid that, Fenn. | 02:09 |
fenn | "hey, believe in god?" | 02:09 |
fenn | "are you a god-botherer?" | 02:09 |
fenn | please provide rationale for shooting down my idea | 02:10 |
fenn | i think the world needs more militant atheists | 02:10 |
Utopiah | JayDugger: I dont expect "believers" to actually read and agree with it but at least it feels less frustrated that completly avoiding the dicussion because I talked about it so many times before (but with other persons) | 02:10 |
Utopiah | \less frustrating than | 02:10 |
JayDugger | Many people react badly to militant atheism. | 02:10 |
fenn | many people react badly to anything they disagree with | 02:11 |
Forrest | Many people react horribly to militant theists | 02:11 |
JayDugger | Yes, and you've better things to do with your time than argue with fools? | 02:11 |
fenn | JayDugger: that's the whole point | 02:11 |
Utopiah | yes, but I still want to be able to improve my arguments in an organized fashion if I can | 02:11 |
fenn | yes, i have better things to do with my time | 02:11 |
kanzure | go back to work | 02:12 |
fenn | i was thinking about drugging myself to sleep | 02:12 |
JayDugger | Utopiah, that's a good goal--but I don't think it'll ever convince anyone. I misunderstood your aims. | 02:12 |
kanzure | does melatonin work on you? | 02:12 |
JayDugger | Melatonin, GABA, tryptophan, theanine. | 02:12 |
fenn | not enough data to say | 02:12 |
fenn | i stayed up to 5am yesterday | 02:12 |
JayDugger | Vicodin in extreme need. | 02:12 |
kanzure | yes but what time was that on your internal clock | 02:13 |
fenn | it does seem to do something about a half hour after i take it, but wears off an hour after that | 02:13 |
fenn | kanzure: i can show you what i've got so far if you really care | 02:13 |
kanzure | what data are you recording and why do you think it's sufficient | 02:13 |
Utopiah | JayDugger: as you suggested before, try to convince somebody who feels safe thanks to faith with rational argument is a lost cause, so I don't even hope to do so, I just think that this way I can stay coherent without wasting time | 02:13 |
JayDugger | I have that problem too. The time-release formulas help, a little. Try setting out another dose by your bed for when you wake. | 02:13 |
fenn | kanzure: time i took melatonin, dosage, time i woke up and slept, and everything else | 02:16 |
fenn | not sure what else i could record without sensors | 02:16 |
fenn | JayDugger: i've read that the time release just fucks everything up and makes it impossible to schedule your dosage | 02:17 |
Utopiah | (speaking of beliefs The Singularity: An Appraisal with Alastair Reynolds/Vernor Vinge/Charles Stross/Karl Schroeder http://vimeo.com/9445223 ;) | 02:17 |
JayDugger | fenn, which do you want more: good data or good rest? | 02:19 |
fenn | JayDugger: a demonstrated solution, not just "i think it might be working" | 02:20 |
JayDugger | Point taken. | 02:20 |
katsmeow | grab some GNC Natrasleep, take 4 caps an hr before bed, it beats melatonin | 02:20 |
fenn | whatever, i know what valerian does | 02:20 |
Forrest | electrodes and mess stuck all over might be uncomfortable, but I wonder what kind of information could be gleaned from a time lapse camera? | 02:20 |
katsmeow | well, try mistletoe? | 02:21 |
fenn | mistletoe? i didnt know that was used for treating sleep disorders | 02:22 |
fenn | anyway i'm going to continue with melatonin for at least a month and not muck around with 50 different things at once | 02:23 |
fenn | thanks for the suggestion but i doubt i'll start using a proprietary blend | 02:23 |

Forrest | Has anyone here ever played cooking mama? | 02:27 |
katsmeow | fenn, it was in Sleeptime tea till some fda meddling said it was dangerously effective | 02:27 |
JayDugger | I've never heard of it. | 02:27 |
Forrest | You play a bunch of minigames representing steps in a recipe | 02:28 |
Forrest | cracking eggs, stirring batter | 02:28 |
Forrest | Usually involves either a wiimote or a touch screen | 02:28 |
JayDugger | Ah...why not just cook? | 02:28 |
katsmeow | that was in the 80's, and the company was sold and resold several times, each selling making the owners more paranoid about the sleeping cutomers not waking up to buy more tea | 02:28 |
JayDugger | Does the game aim at young children? | 02:28 |
Forrest | All ages, but yeah | 02:29 |
Forrest | There are a few reasons why someone might play the game instead of cook | 02:29 |
JayDugger | I dislike cooking, and happily eat rather nasty food, so I am not the target market. | 02:29 |
Forrest | It's like an interactive version of the food network | 02:29 |
JayDugger | s/nasty/unpalatable | 02:30 |
JayDugger | My sister might like that, though. | 02:30 |
kanzure | we have something like that in the plans in skdb.git | 02:30 |
JayDugger | ? | 02:30 |
Forrest | That's what I was getting at | 02:30 |
kanzure | but not targeted at the gaming market | 02:30 |
JayDugger | Cooking in skdb? I hadn't thought of that... | 02:30 |
kanzure | JayDugger: well he's talking about the general idea of instructions | 02:31 |
kanzure | but yes cooking is one application | 02:31 |
-!- katsmeow is now known as katsmeow-afk | 02:31 | |
JayDugger | `sudo skdb-get bread` First, buy some land... | 02:31 |
Forrest | I was in class and my professor was explaining steps for prepping chickpea DNA for sequence | 02:31 |
kanzure | yep, lab protocols too | 02:31 |
JayDugger | Second, apply for USDA subsidies... | 02:31 |
Forrest | and I was thinking about how tedious it sounded | 02:31 |
kanzure | Forrest: you'll shit bricks when i get my microfluidics package working- it converts biology protocols into microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices | 02:31 |
Forrest | and I thought of how fun it might be to dial a virtual pipette with a wiimote and various other things | 02:32 |
Forrest | Holy shit | 02:32 |
kanzure | JayDugger: i was previously working on a way to order parts from suppliers via skdb for those things that you do not want to make yourself | 02:32 |
kanzure | until the seasteading institute gets their shit together, you'll have to either (1) already have land or (2) buy land | 02:32 |
kanzure | or (3) buy bread | 02:33 |
JayDugger | I've already developed a taste for spirulina and a low-glycemic index diet. :) | 02:33 |
kanzure | most people already have some land available, even if they are just renting an apartment (in which case they have floor space available, which isn't the same thing as land) | 02:33 |
Forrest | Anyway, I told the "biotech mama idea to a friend of mine and he told me that SKDB wanted the same thing | 02:33 |
kanzure | i wonder if fischerprice could get behind "my little biotech lab" | 02:34 |
JayDugger | Forrest, has anyone done simulations of lab techniques? I imagine something like the surgical simulators for endoscopy and the like... | 02:34 |
kanzure | but yeah | 02:34 |
kanzure | JayDugger: yes | 02:34 |
Forrest | Do you think sealand would allow a seasteading institute project to tether? | 02:34 |
kanzure | JayDugger: http://designfiles.org/papers/instructions/ | 02:34 |
kanzure | JayDugger: http://designfiles.org/papers/instructions/Extensible%20task%20simulation%20with%20motion%20archive-3.png | 02:34 |
Forrest | I've seen good surgery simulators made like flash games | 02:34 |
Forrest | They're more for learning protocols | 02:35 |
JayDugger | Do you know if the FDA has to approve surgery simulators? | 02:35 |
JayDugger | FAA tests flight simulators before pilots train with them, for example. | 02:35 |
kanzure | JayDugger: i have some notes in skdb.git on instruction generation and "biotech mamma" stuff if you want to learn more | 02:35 |
* kanzure sleeps | 02:35 | |
Forrest | No they don't have to approve them, there are several popular video games similar to cooking mama focused around surgery | 02:37 |

JayDugger | Thank you for the link. | 02:37 |
JayDugger | Eww...yuck. That's worse than hydraulics. | 02:38 |
Forrest | I do not know why surgery compares to hydraulics | 02:46 |
JayDugger | Both involve liquids I dislike. | 02:46 |
Forrest | Hahahahaha | 02:48 |

Forrest | The whole bit where you just give them a paralytic and an amnestic is hilarious to me | 03:11 |
Forrest | "You're going to hate me for a little while, but what I gave you should prevent you from forming any long term memories, so I don't care." | 03:12 |
Forrest | "You will be paralyzed for the duration of the operation, you can attempt to scream if something I'm doing feels more excruciating than you think I intend it to be" | 03:14 |
Forrest | I was learning to brew mead a few years back. I read about how older recipes call for henbane instead of hops | 03:16 |
JayDugger | ? | 03:17 |
Forrest | henbane is hallucinogenic and can have a side effect that makes you overheat and die | 03:17 |
JayDugger | Yes. Why have that in mead? | 03:17 |
Forrest | It probably accounted for a lot of the punch of the drink. | 03:17 |
Forrest | For obvious reasons it went out of style | 03:18 |
Forrest | but it returned as medicine | 03:18 |
Forrest | It was used as a sort of amnestic | 03:19 |
Forrest | it didn't work that way | 03:19 |
Forrest | It was popular during childbirth | 03:19 |

hundred-ideas | I need the top 1000 most interesting (ok ok frequent) terms, minus common stop words | 10:34 |

kanzure | JayDugger: yes | 10:51 |
kanzure | JayDugger: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/hplusroadmap-urls.2010-01-25.txt | 10:51 |
JayDugger | Thank you. | 10:51 |
kanzure | that was in late january. here's one from october: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/hplusroadmap-urls.txt | 10:51 |
kanzure | obviously the january one is more complete | 10:52 |
kanzure | i'm going to limit this first cloud to words that have been mentioned 4 or more times | 10:57 |
kanzure | the frequency list is 1.1MB in size and has about a million lines, so doing anything else will take more time than i have patience to give | 10:57 |

JayDugger | What does the step parameter mean? | 11:36 |
kanzure | font size is an integer | 11:36 |
kanzure | step size is multiplied by the frequency or count of the tag to determine which font size it should have | 11:37 |
kanzure | or something like that | 11:37 |
JayDugger | What software did you use to make this? | 11:37 |
JayDugger | Heh. My name has only slighter greater size than "useless". | 11:38 |
