Recently, jokingly, Husky requested we make a "Seth forum" because I tend to kinda make blog posts every now and then... I thought it was an interesting idea, but of course I'd never be that egotistical [They won't let me :(]

So.

http://crossology.blogspot.com

Any specific point to my blog? Saying what I want about anything at all. Deep, insightful stuff. Pissed off rants. Random blogs of randomness? Yup.

Enjoy.

I'm kind of afraid to look at it. Promise it's safe?

As the proud, new owner of a blogging page, you realize now the topics you can rant about are now far less without you being a hypocrite (Oh no).

You should make a photostream.

"Here I am guyysss brushing my teeth in my cute pajamas!"

Or at least that's how it plays out in my mind. Maybe a photo of you making cinnamon buns with fish oven mits on.

I like it. Kinda gives another look of life, in the Seth-way.

Who said I care what you people think either way? :)

New post :rolleyes:

I recommend you use WordPress over blogger, but that's just my opinion.

The only good blogging services cost money, sigh.

Seth, does making blogs of all sorts use up time? I can never blog better than anyone. :sad:

"...on my girl, which I enjoy doing" I had to re-read the sentence that came from. :p
Good job on making this anyway. You'd probably be able to add a few things to the Prose of the Week.

It's nothing I'm really concerned with. I don't need anything high-tech. Just something that works.

How fast can you type? That's what it depends on. And how fast your ideas come to your fingers, but aside from that, shouldn't be that big of a deal.

How so? The two have nothing to do with each other.

Would be interesting to have a summary of your week, every week. :)

Your life is surprisingly interesting Seth. And if not, you certainly make it sound so.

Probably everyone's life is interesting to OTHER people. It's just typically not that interesting to the person in question.

Probably posting again later.

New post :)

Probably everyone's life is interesting to OTHER people. It's just typically not that interesting to the person in question.

A lot of relations are built upon a not very mathematical equation that looks like this.

Person A's demeanor to person B is = to person B's knowledge of person A.

Kind of an egotistical setup, and surprisingly evident in day to day life (Not so much on the internet though, its different).

If the reverse is true (switching B for A), then the two most likely get along well. If not, then one person's probably got a shit ton about themselves uploaded on facebook or in some blog like website.


So in this case, the mundane seems somewhat interesting (hoorah for good writing skills). So as a result, Seth can write something effectively pretty boring like "I found $5 today", and through us reading it, we feel some sort of happy connection, which is like a faux version of my 'friend equation'.

General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
