14:07:39watusimotohey bobdaduck
14:07:45bobdaduckHAI
14:07:48watusimotostill here?
14:07:54watusimotoyou're not done with your mission
14:08:08bobdaduckYeah I am!
14:08:14bobdaduckIts been two years!
14:08:21watusimotowhat?!?
14:08:27watusimotoIt's been like a year
14:08:36watusimotothat was two years????
14:08:41bobdaduckyeah!
14:08:45watusimotowhoa
14:08:48kaadmy-- "has a lively community"
14:08:50kaadmy:(
14:08:52bobdaduck107 weekly emails!
14:09:03watusimotoI read most of them
14:09:17watusimotowell... how was it?
14:09:43watusimotoor is that not the kind of question a gentleman asks?
14:09:53bobdaducklol
14:09:55bobdaduckIs fine
14:09:57watusimotokind of like hey, how was your wedding night?
14:10:06watusimoto:-)
14:10:11bobdaduckhah.
14:10:31bobdaduckYes, it was quite amazing.
14:10:35watusimotoI saw the Book of Mormon musical and thought of you!
14:10:41bobdaducklol
14:10:46bobdaduckThe book is always better!
14:11:00watusimotoso I've heard
14:11:26watusimotowell, you can see we're in a bit of a shambles
14:11:28bobdaduckYeah so I'm really disappointed in Christianity in general now, but as far as the whole experience it was good. I felt like I did a lot of good and had a lot of crazy miracle experiences.
14:11:45watusimotowhy disappointed?
14:11:53watusimotojust in the "state" of christianity?
14:12:22bobdaduckWell no, just the religions.
14:12:32watusimotoyou mean the other ones
14:12:35watusimotoI assume
14:12:38bobdaduckYeah.
14:12:44watusimotoI mean the other christian denominations
14:13:09watusimotoI think there's a very broad spectrum out there
14:13:17bobdaduckYou could always tell a preachers house; it was 5 times as nice as anyone else's house in town. And then they teach deliberately to like, keep people from thinking about the things for themselves, and....
14:13:25bobdaduckYou're right. Just a lot of what I saw I didn't like.
14:13:43bobdaduckPeople are good. The churches really weren't, I felt.
14:14:03watusimotothere's the whole theology of prosperity that many buy into
14:14:17watusimotogod favors you by bringing you wealth
14:14:27watusimotothat's big in the south
14:14:42watusimotothough it never struck me as particularly jesus-like
14:14:46bobdaducklol
14:14:47watusimotobut what do I know?
14:15:51bobdaduckProbably quite a bit.
14:17:11bobdaduckI just felt like the preacher's job is to get people not to think, which is... not ok.
14:20:16bobdaduckEverything in shambles, you say?
14:21:18watusimotoPreacher's job is to preach, to get people to listen. If he doesn;'t do that, there's not much point, is there.
14:22:15watusimotoHe or she... I was married by a woman pastor/ministor/preacher... not sure what her official title was
14:24:55bobdaduckYeah... I dunno. Mormons don't have any paid ministy; everything we do we do because we actually love God and actually want the best. Throw money into it and motives corrupt very easily.
14:25:38watusimotothat's human nature. we could use more corruption in bitfighter!
14:26:02bobdaducklol!
14:27:46Flynnn has joined
14:32:41watusimotoso basically, we never fully recovered from that hacking incident a couple of years ago.
14:32:49bobdaduckThere was a hacking incident?
14:33:21watusimotoyeah, someone hacked our server (not ours specifically, but our webhosts), and eveything got wiped
14:33:33watusimotowe had backups of a lot of stuff, but also a lot got lost
14:33:42watusimotoand we were down for a while

15:31:28bobdaduckWhere are we at now then?
15:57:36bobdaduck Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
16:22:50watusimotowell... we're right here!
16:23:07watusimotoeverything is more-or-less back to full service
16:23:12watusimotoif that is your question
16:23:36watusimotothe problem is that we fell below critical mass, and then everyone went away :-(
16:23:49watusimotoExcept zemmer, who keeps building maps
16:24:24watusimotointerestingly, there's another open source game that used to be much more popular than bf... bzflag
16:24:32watusimotoand their community has also collapsed

16:30:47watusimotoThat's what you missed ^^
16:31:54bobdaduckcool!
16:32:35bobdaduckWell, I'll see what I can do as far as rallying the community to vigor again. I think all the servers are still running 019c?
16:32:58bobdaduckoh nope there they are
16:33:33bobdaduckI think DnD broke in one of the updates
16:33:51watusimotoI think so, yes
16:34:05watusimotoI don't think we did a 019d release
16:34:18watusimotoand I'm still working on 020
16:34:24watusimotothough more part time than in the past
16:34:42bobdaduckbut also I have like 15 installs of bitfighter on my computer and I have no idea where my most current update of bitfighter is?
16:34:53watusimotoIf you haven't done so, be sure to annonce your return on the forums
16:35:04watusimotoI know people still check them from time to time
16:35:07bobdaducklol
16:35:13bobdaduckDid that like four days ago
16:35:26watusimotoI didn't say that _I_ check them :-)
16:35:40bobdaducklol
16:35:59watusimotoWe actually had a bit of a crisis here in Portland (IRL) that has been keeping me occupied
16:36:42bobdaduckflooding?
16:37:43bobdaduckeverywhere in MS and Lousianna got flooded
16:45:45raptor has joined
16:45:45ChanServ sets mode +o
16:46:15raptorI figure since a duck has arrived home safely, and I'm almost done with finals, that I should say hi
16:47:45raptorwe did release 019e
16:54:50raptorit's probably mostly my fault stuff has died down
16:55:00raptorI've been focusing on school
17:15:25watusimotowhoa.... look who's here!
17:15:37Flynnn Quit (Quit: Auf Wiedersehen!)
17:15:50watusimotoit's like my high school reunion!
17:16:17watusimotoyou're right... we did more releases. I totally blocked them from my mind.
17:16:58raptorhi
17:17:25raptorhow goes the Portland crisis?
17:17:26watusimotobobdaduck: this --> http://www.portlandmercury.com/BlogtownPDX/archives/2016/02/03/arsenic-cadmium-levels-near-two-se-portland-schools-are-alarmingly-high-state-finds
17:18:14watusimotointeresting question. pretty well, in fact. I'm now in the leadership group of a new envirionmental group, and we've had an amazingly successful 2 months
17:19:01raptorwhat do you define as success?
17:22:22watusimotowe got more money for testing, all politicians are on our side, epa changed their ruling on whether local glass comanies are exempt from air quality rules; the head of DEQ (dept. Env. Quality) is gone; the state has agreed to create a new rule making process that will use health-based standards for air quality (rather than issuing permits regardless of cumulative impact); the glass companies are all installing filters on their exhaust; we
17:23:10watusimotoI don't credit our group for all that, but that's the environment we're working in.
17:23:41watusimotolocal politicians are talking about creating our own air quality monitoring system
17:24:19raptorthat's... pretty amazing, actually
17:24:20watusimotoprospects for a clean(er) diesel bill (that failed last year), improved signifcantly
17:24:26watusimotoyes, it really is
17:24:58watusimotothis was most defnitely a catalyzing event, and is having reprecussions across the state and possibly even nationwide.
17:25:30watusimotoand all I had to do was expose my kids to cadmium and arsenic for a good part of their lives! bargain!
17:25:51watusimotooh, we had an event featuring Erin Brokovich
17:56:38raptorI had to look her up

20:34:19bobdaduck_NOBODY WILL PLAY WITH ME
20:34:50raptorhi
20:35:05bobdaduck_LIFE IS SO UNFAIR
20:35:23raptori got blown off of an interview today (for a research position) because my resume looked boring
20:35:46watusimotothat sounds professional of them
20:35:57bobdaduck_Man I would totally do that
20:35:59Flynnn Quit (Quit: Auf Wiedersehen!)
20:36:00raptorhe was a former NASA guy
20:36:23watusimotojust tell him you wish you were allowed to talk about what your REAL job was.
20:36:37watusimotobecause you could tell him some stories!
20:36:39raptorhe said he'd go through stacks of 200 resumes and look at each one for no more than 5 seconds. If he didn't like how it looked, he'd discard it
20:37:05watusimotothat sounds about right... :-(
20:37:20bobdaduck_Yeah!
20:37:21raptoralso, i couldn't break through his assumption that I was 10 years younger and devoid of real-life experience working
20:37:48raptorhe spent 45 of the 50 min. talking about how i'd need to work diligently, etc.
20:38:02watusimotogive me a break
20:38:02raptori guess my resume needs work...
20:38:15bobdaduck_I CAN HELP
20:38:21bobdaduck_Put bitfighter ships on it!
20:38:22raptoryeah, i understand from his point of view that the other students would probably need that
20:38:24bobdaduck_And a logo!
20:38:27bobdaduck_Get a theme song!
20:38:44watusimoto"Look, I worked for Attachmate. I know how to hustle! Those pens don't make themselves!"
20:38:47raptori'm not sure how to break through initial assumptions like that in an interview
20:38:52raptorhaha
20:39:07bobdaduck_<<missionary life ever
20:39:42watusimotowell, once you realize the interview is going that direction, you can take a chance (because you already know it's going to tank)
20:39:59bobdaduck_Flip tables
20:40:01bobdaduck_act mature
20:40:09raptoroh yeah, i new it was unlikely from that first statement of: "oh, looks like we need to work on your resume"
20:40:17watusimotowow
20:40:57raptorthat's ok, though - it was my first attempt at an academic resume
20:41:18watusimotosometimes you need to break the pattern a little. turn it around. "What are you looking for?"
20:41:33raptori asked that
20:41:50raptoreven for specifics in the sub-sections
20:41:56watusimoto"someone who will work diligently."
20:42:00raptordidn't really get anything but a wishy-washy response
20:42:08watusimotosometimes interviews just go bad
20:42:17watusimotohe sounds like an awful interviewer
20:42:24watusimotothe next one will be better
20:42:24raptorso weird - almost like i was both under- and over-qualified
20:42:50bobdaduck_I feel like that all the time
20:42:57raptorbobdaduck_: are youi job hunting, too?
20:43:10bobdaduck_Well I have like 7 offers
20:43:17bobdaduck_Haven't acted on any yet
20:43:18bobdaduck_I'm cooling down
20:43:25watusimotoI thought you'd be living off your missionary income for a year or two
20:43:43raptorhaha
20:43:47bobdaduck_lol
20:43:49watusimotomaybe playing golf in the mornings, that sort of thing
20:44:05bobdaduck_You know I didn't get paid?
20:44:20watusimotooh sure. everyone says that.
20:44:34watusimotoI don't get paid either
20:44:43raptorbobdaduck_: the wife says you should expect an invite to dinner sometime... once the "walking plaque monsters are better"
20:44:54raptor*plague
20:44:57bobdaduck_:D
20:48:59bobdaduck_Missions cost $10,000!

21:08:56raptor*are you
21:09:00bobdaduck_Nah
21:09:13bobdaduck_Maybe later
21:09:59raptori promise that 'later' is *much* more difficult
21:10:04bobdaduck_lol
21:10:27bobdaduck_like I mean not for at least the summer.
21:10:55raptorhaha, ok
21:13:22watusimotoI'm looking for a new project for my son, and I just figured it out!
21:13:40watusimotoa little bank of leds that tells him how many people are playing bitfighter RIGHT NOW
21:14:11raptori just finished a project that used an arduino to blink LEDs
21:14:31raptorbootleg arduinos are 3$
21:15:23watusimotoI'd do it with a arduino nano and a wifi card
21:15:34watusimotoand package it up nicely
21:16:25raptorcan those things even handle current wifi data rates?
21:17:05watusimotono idea
21:17:10koda has joined
21:17:47watusimotoor maybe instead of leds, just use a 7 segment display
21:18:36raptoryou'd need to multiplex them if using more than one
21:18:43bobdaduck_3 people online
21:18:44watusimotoyes
21:18:46bobdaduck_we're having a party guys

21:21:20fordcarsraptor: I recently had a class on resume writing
21:21:59fordcarsApparently white paper is considered boring, which I did not know
21:22:09fordcarsYou must use light tinted blue or brown
21:22:18fordcarsWhich is stupid but urhg
21:22:47raptorit's all about the textured type
21:22:55raptorslightly thicker
21:23:10fordcarsOh man
21:23:34raptoractually, i'm sure fads come and go with hiring managers
21:24:15fordcarsraptor: do you know what winding triangles outputted by poly2tri have (clock-wise or counter clock-wise)?
