an arm busted off my glasses last night

and there isn't anything I can do about it until next month

i dunno if i can superglue this one

JB Weld

Does not look pretty but I fixed laptop frames with it

i managed to get a loose bond and adding more superglue on top its a kind of superglue gel.. so it does have to dry the gel before the superglue instadries

it looks promising

i CAN wear them without one arm but its a bit fiddly

i bought superglue and doughnuts.. wonder if that is a common order

frg_Away: Wanna know how old my glasses are? SeaMonkey 2.0

I am sure there is a metaphore in there somewhere

what's the opposite of superglue? a Siemens-Nixdorf/Siemens/Fujitsu-Siemens Scénic Mobile might benefit from that here :-P

BinOC Proudly presents njsg now in blur-o-vision

(so they're not in the laptop)

That one ran gentoo for a long while, and let me say that 64MiB RAM is near the limit for KDE3

that one might also be especially how I'm aware of insn-attrtab.c

njsg: but it is plenty for kde1 i am sure

i know how to build kde1

nsITobin: we control the blur, do not try to adjust your tv set. welcome to the XRE limits, where there is only XUL.

!

love me some outer limits

njsg: how many more years before people ask with all seriousness "what is a television?" and you say TV and they go OOOOHHHHHH

I've watched it a lot (a more recent incarnation? weren't there two?), as it aired back then on RTP2. Maybe someday in a few years I'll try to revisit it, if they don't get rid of DVD-Video meanwhile

I liked the what was it late 90s 2000s outer limits but of course the best is the original

nsITobin: isn't there a Futurama episode about that? :-P I mean, I think I recall a conversation about Fry using "christmas" for "xmas"

especially that first season

yes

an important episode

probably the episode about the bad santa

yes

Remindes me that I need to rem watch the first two seasons of Wild Wild West sometime soonish.

the real question is.. once i get new glasses and can see the world CLEARLY for what it is.. the fuck do I do then LOL

rewatch Jurassic Park?

Maybe there will be a sequel: The Night of the Evil Programmer

njsg just did One was still ok

yeah, that's the thing, at least 1 is perhaps a very good movie that can be rewatched and it's still entertaining, appealling, has a good plot to follow

plus the UNIX SGI realism

njsg: Jurassic Park with its SGI Demoscene OS

SGI was amazing

too bad i was too young to use any of it

but still

the 2nd I kind of feel like I found the book more entertaining. I'd say III is also watchable, and manages to have a story to follow, even though by then it's sequel sequel sequel... still, no comparison with the first movie.

Jurassic World has me wondering if their premise for the plot is "let's pretend this is a startup market where startup after startup keeps making the same mistakes". What is really the premise for "it'll not go wrong this time"? The plot ends up having a marketing-hyped genetically-engineered dinosaur they focus on as a plot device, which is perhaps apt, for that's possibly what the movie itself is?

only the first one is good

the second and third didn't retain any wonder and i never saw any others

if you're into reading, and you haven't yet, the novels are good reading too IMHO

njsg: books..

made of paper

I have occasionally read books.

there may be things that seem to be off (I've read criticism of Crichton's writing for scientific imprecisions in some details), there will also be things that change (I think the first book refers the idea that T. Rex does not see people if they don't move, the second pretty much corrects that by having someone clairfy the reason the T. Rex did not attack someone standing still was because, well, he had

just eaten). different characters to some extent (Malcolm's daughter is a composite character from the two kids in the book), differences in plot. I guess my point is, if you happen to be into reading and you like Jurassic Park, you may want to read the two books too.

yeah maybe I will buy my self a book for christmas or something

jurrasic park book

I remember that I liked Airframe the most.
