I'm still waiting on Corruption. Perhaps you can finish it when you grow old and retire or something but I have to read it before I die or my life will not be complete.

To Do List:

Get a short temper, and be like Seth Cross as an admin. :thup:

I really didn't think you disliked your old days.

Doesn't really work like that. I got the Admin status after I grew up a lot and tamed my temper.

Hell, I don't even always have it under control now. I struggle with it. But I do it because I don't wanna be that guy. The angry guy.

I'm still waiting on Corruption. Perhaps you can finish it when you grow old and retire or something but I have to read it before I die or my life will not be complete.

Corruption was finished, at least as a rough draft. I'm going to re-write it because I feel I can do better. But this time, there's something different; I have a lot more confidence in myself. I may have always been cocky, but I was afraid of being rejected by publishers. Since BMT, I believe I can pretty much do anything, so I'm going to re-write the thing when I have time and start distributing it until I get someone, which I will.

After all, it's me. No one's better ;)

Aww how cute. seth forgot about me. :p

joking aside... I don't care much for the old days, which were not as old as some of your old days. They were nice, but so is the now. both are different, but doesn't mean the now sucks.

Edna: I never look back, darling, it distracts from the now.

Oh dear, why do I remember that...

It used to be that "good old days" really meant the stories from your (great-)grand-father talking about the years after the War.
Nowadays, it's pretty much equivalent to "last year".

Which, if you think about it, is expected, given the average person's attention span rivals that of the common house-fly. And the fly's actually winning.

Basically a change to "Oh man, I haven't been entertained for about 5 minutes. My life totally sucks"...
Brave new world.

In terms of the forum skin, i never saw the one posted in the OP, but i already miss the one before this one (it was so simple and nice, and the Sc2 section had a cool skin for itself with it). although i am pretty used to this one now. Sc2 section still needs the return of a Sc2 skin, and the Diablo section needs Diablo skins too :p

in terms of me, i don't miss my immaturity :x

and isnt that little pic rapmaster's avatar? thats where i remember it from

I like the current stage of this site. This theme is awesome, I didn't like it at first, but I've grown to love it. :D

Yes, it seems that in our hurry to upgrade to the latest and greatest we lose our custom skins. Even the whole site layout changed color scheme when we upgraded to the latest version. This site totally evolves based on what volunteers do. I am terrible at color schemes so I do not even try to enforce anything like that.

  • 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

    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.
