GRAND USELESS POST THREAD!

[freespace2dotcom]

About the temp. I'd love to estimate on the fly, but that's not as exciting as accurate numbers, (and I'm bad at
estimating when the diplay changes every second.)  and I can't very well take a break during a re-entry to open my
calculator. so accurate conversions are impossible and reading the celsius temps as fahrenheit isn't very appreciative
to look at. 1000C is far hotter than 1000F and if I read them like F.. well, it's like saying that there's so many bananas
when we're counting oranges. now, about star wars, yes it's kiddie, deal with it. It happens. It's still got cool
lightsaber fights, and that's why anybody would bother seeing any of them. Finally, all hail the king! [of sarcasm]
ME! who didn't cheat, but will finish the fight with doc.

Freespace takes out his dual bladed lightsaber and goes "darth maul" on Doc.

And the only dairy product I like is milk...

...and cheese, but not just any cheese... only american cheese, and mozzarella for pizza, but that's about it. I've been
known ot steal grated cheddar from my family's fridge, but that's another story entirely. Oh, and I like swiss cheese.
(because of the holes) but I'm not big on it.

Well try to imagine it like this. 0C is where water freezes, 100C is where water boils. 36C is what a normal temp of a
human body is and 20 is room temperature. 50C is probably the nastiest desert weather you can get on this planet.
The rest you can just imagine in your head .. like a straigh line with these few points of reference and you can get a
good estimate for conversion with just that.

Works for me and Fahrenheits.

[Atom]

I changed my sigi, oh and my pasta keeps falling of the fork and it's really anoying!

[Atom]

Anyone know of any DECENT free web hosting places?

[DocHoliday]

How much do you need? Maybe I can help..

I don't think there are any decent ones. Filled with adds more and more so, because the paying ones are getting
cheaper

[Atom]

Nah, it was just a fleeting idea in my head, anyway. I have updated the links page of me and Krytoms webpage and
also I have sent him another update of the links page and I have redone the Atom page. It now has a new picture of
me in my Air Cadet uniform. But that stuff won't be up till tonight 'cos Krytom's gone to visit his grandparents.

Oh yeah I managed to finish eating my pasta. (Which my little sis made 'cos I was too lazy.)

Doc, do you realise that you are now a freeware developer. Cool.

[Atom]

Hehe, lookie what I did.

[DocHoliday]

I am not. I only used Dan's tools. in a creative way..  you can do it too. But it's still cool

To much time on yer hands eh? right back at ya.


From the stuff I'm gathering when I FINALLY resurrect my personal website

Actually, I already use that more or less when, on rare occasions, I use celsius for checking outside temps (hey, it
happens..) however it's very hard to do all that in your head when the straight line you imagine in your head is 10
times larger than that scale. not to mention that there are five different displays that usually diplay 5 different temps.
(at least when you want to pay attention to them) They're also pretty dynamic, and so a conversion you made 4 seconds ago might very well be inaccurate now. It IS estimatable, just not by me in real-time, which is my problem.
while I screw around with such things, I realize that my attention is needed on turning that sucker around so that I can land on the base because I overshot.

Hey!!
Look what I made today:





It's a PTV (Person Transfer Vehicle) for space travel or just crew transfer.
I will add a launch rocket.

[Atom]

Nice. But there is something missing. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something missing.
Mmmmm.

[McBrain]

The launch rocket? Or maybe the landing gear?

[Atom]

A tail fin, that's it, try a tail fin. Anyway I got bored and made this.

[McBrain]

Tail fin? But it has two tail fins!!!

LOL!
Funny pic!!!

Are you still awake?

[Atom]

No, I'm sleeping. (Sorry Freespace).

Yeh, but a tail fin in the middle, it just seems a little flat an stretched out. (My opinions only, i am not trying to offend
you in any way).

[McBrain]

Oh, sorry. I thought you were awake.

OK, I will think about a tail fin in the middle.
Wait.... I WILL ADD IT!!!!!!
But not now. I'm too tired to get a fine tail fin.
Maybe before breakfast this morning...

[Atom]

A bit like this:



Sorry about the bad quality editing, I just wanted to know what it would look like. How does it look?

[McBrain]

Yes, that's the way I thought about adding it.
But now: Good night, all.

I WANT TO GO SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'M SO TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm soooooooo tired, sssssssssssso ti..................red.......................

Cya tomorrow!

[Atom]

I am going to play Rise of Nations : Thrones and Patriots now. Hehe. I only bought it today.

[H_Speed]

[Atom]

Sorry, I meant yesterday.

[Atom]

I really ought to go to bed, it's half one here and I have to walk 7 miles today (Friday), 11 tomorrow and 10 on
Sunday all with a heavy pack on. Ohh. Then I go back to school on Monday after having a week off. I might not be
able to get up on Monday.

Good Night. See y'all tomorrow.

[Krytom]

Yup, Atom has left us for a few days. I've updated Atom's page and the Links page on my site now, although you
should still bear in mind that it is not finished. I still need to change some things on my page, maybe make the music
links more obvious and possibly add more, depending on the ammount of webspace.

[Krytom]

Ohh, would you look at that! I've allready updated my page. I'm testing the new links on it now (i.e. listening to the
music )
