AnyNowhere — daily chat log — back (to logs index)
00:32, E_net4> Aye.
04:26, Kristos whispers: the same person who loves Java would dare live 8 days without internet... I can see this...
04:27, Kristos> :P Naw, I'm all for 8 days without internet. Could do anybody good I suppose. And at least Java is widely supported-ish. ;)
05:28, Raptorjedi> I would go insane. :3=
05:50, Kristos whispers: well some of us are already insane, so what does it matter?
05:51, Kristos whispers: the first symptom of insanity is thinking that you're not insane...
05:52, Jam> So if I think I'm insane, does that mean I'm actually not?
05:54, Jam whispers: I'm not insane... I'm not insane...
06:10, Kristos> Apparently that's not applicable. ;)
06:18, Jam> Wait... you're right. But that means...
06:19, Jam whispers: I'm insane... I'm insane... I'm insane...
06:43, Kristos> Well, you know what they say. The first step to curing your problem is admitting that you have the problem.
07:09, Kristos> Glad to see you fess up like that. ;)
07:34, Skinnymon> /mumbles the old Felisian adage about "takes one to know one."
07:35, Skinnymon proves his point.
07:35, Skinnymon> :/
15:28, Jam types a chat message, mainly to hide his not-insane mutterings.
15:29, Jam> Oh, I finally downloaded Speeder's breakout clone. I didn't work with WINE :(
15:33, Jam> Then I downloaded novashell for Mac and tried running it that way. The menus worked, but the game didn't. It gave some error messages though...
15:34, Cryoburner whispers: Maybe you could just install Windows. :P
15:35, Jam> I would need to buy it though...
15:43, Cryoburner> Sell your Mac, and buy a copy of Windows with the money.
15:44, Cryoburner whispers: :D
15:45, Jam> :D But then I wouldn't have a computer!
15:52, Neuzd> I'm a mac user with a windows partition. And I think my life is good.
15:56, Jam> Wine usually works for most things (like Lino), but occasionally it fails.
16:03, Jam> I tried installing a copy of Windows before, but the fan didn't seem to work...
17:56, Cryoburner whispers: Windows doesn't come with fans, only windows.
17:59, Cryoburner whispers: That would be a unique marketing option though... "Pre-order Windows 8 now and get a bonus fan!"
18:00, Neuzd> That makes a lot of sense. If your window can't open, you're going to use a fan.
18:02, Cryoburner whispers: Unless it's the winter. :|
18:03, Cryoburner whispers: Unless you really like fans. :|
18:07, Neuzd whispers: It depends also on the type of fan. The groupie kind would be always welcome :P
21:48, Jam notices Speeder is online. "Hi! I finally downloaded the breakout game (and Novashell)! It didn't work though..."
21:49, Speeder> Why not? (and why you downloaded novashell?)
21:50, Jam> WINE doesn't like it...
21:50, Speeder> But why you downloaded novashell?
21:51, Jam> I thought it would help the game run (and it kinda did)
21:52, Speeder> Hum... There are no GNU/Linux (or Mac) version, because I am using a custom novashell, and I don't compiled a GNU/Linux version yet
21:53, Jam> Ah... Maybe that's why it didn't work right.
21:55, Jam> Menus worked fine (I think), but the actual game part kept giving two repeating error messages, over and over.
21:55, Speeder> Yeah, missing functions that I added to novashell (the dude that made novashell don't implemented lots of stuff Oo So I had to do it myself...)
21:56, Speeder> some function in particular return funny error messages ("like: this is not implemented yet, yes, Seth sucks!") Seth is the original author of NS.
21:57, Speeder> FUUUUUUUUUU, I just finished uploading a version with menu fixes, but forgot to upload jpeg1.dll again (I hate this file... :/ my game does not even use jpeg!)
21:59, E_net4> Moo.
22:02, Jam> hmm... It seems to be having problems calling a method "SetImageClipRect"
22:04, E_net4> void SetMyCrapBackToNormal(entity world);
22:04, E_net4> Meaning Life();
22:05, E_net4> Vector_2D findWaldo(entity image);
22:05, E_net4> This is how real world functions would look like.
