16:57:33 <nsITobin> an arm busted off my glasses last night
16:57:46 <nsITobin> and there isn't anything I can do about it until next month
21:07:33 <nsITobin> i dunno if i can superglue this one
21:29:34 <frg_Away> JB Weld
21:29:52 <frg_Away> Does not look pretty but I fixed laptop frames with it
21:57:35 <nsITobin> 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
21:57:45 <nsITobin> it looks promising
21:57:57 <nsITobin> i CAN wear them without one arm but its a bit fiddly
21:58:25 <nsITobin> i bought superglue and doughnuts.. wonder if that is a common order
22:00:21 <nsITobin> frg_Away: Wanna know how old my glasses are? SeaMonkey 2.0
22:00:35 <nsITobin> I am sure there is a metaphore in there somewhere
22:01:47 <njsg> what's the opposite of superglue? a Siemens-Nixdorf/Siemens/Fujitsu-Siemens Scénic Mobile might benefit from that here :-P
22:02:34 <nsITobin> BinOC Proudly presents njsg now in blur-o-vision
22:02:54 * njsg actually seriously wonders if he even knows where the parts that need unstucking are, because he just removed these and got used to use something as a screen rest
22:03:06 <njsg> (so they're not in the laptop)
22:03:58 <njsg> That one ran gentoo for a long while, and let me say that 64MiB RAM is near the limit for KDE3
22:04:37 <njsg> that one might also be especially how I'm aware of insn-attrtab.c
22:04:46 <nsITobin> njsg: but it is plenty for kde1 i am sure
22:04:52 <nsITobin> i know how to build kde1
22:05:23 <njsg> nsITobin: we control the blur, do not try to adjust your tv set. welcome to the XRE limits, where there is only XUL.
22:05:36 <nsITobin> !
22:05:58 <nsITobin> love me some outer limits
22:06:47 <nsITobin> njsg: how many more years before people ask with all seriousness "what is a television?" and you say TV and they go OOOOHHHHHH
22:07:08 <njsg> 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
22:07:40 <nsITobin> I liked the what was it late 90s 2000s outer limits but of course the best is the original
22:07:45 <njsg> nsITobin: isn't there a Futurama episode about that? :-P I mean, I think I recall a conversation about Fry using "christmas" for "xmas"
22:07:45 <nsITobin> especially that first season
22:08:04 <nsITobin> yes
22:08:11 <nsITobin> an important episode
22:08:14 <njsg> probably the episode about the bad santa
22:08:26 <nsITobin> yes
22:09:51 <frg_Away> Remindes me that I need to rem watch the first two seasons of Wild Wild West sometime soonish.
22:09:57 <nsITobin> 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
22:10:19 <njsg> rewatch Jurassic Park?
22:10:21 <frg_Away> Maybe there will be a sequel: The Night of the Evil Programmer
22:10:55 <frg_Away> njsg just did One was still ok
22:11:57 <njsg> 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
22:12:01 <njsg> plus the UNIX SGI realism
22:12:02 <nsITobin> njsg: Jurassic Park with its SGI Demoscene OS
22:12:27 <nsITobin> SGI was amazing
22:12:35 <nsITobin> too bad i was too young to use any of it
22:12:38 <nsITobin> but still
22:15:50 <njsg> 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.
22:18:07 <njsg> 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?
22:19:51 <nsITobin> only the first one is good
22:20:18 <nsITobin> the second and third didn't retain any wonder and i never saw any others
22:21:22 <njsg> if you're into reading, and you haven't yet, the novels are good reading too IMHO
22:21:58 <nsITobin> njsg: books..
22:22:01 <nsITobin> made of paper
22:23:01 <nsITobin> I have occasionally read books.
22:26:25 <njsg> 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
22:26:31 <njsg> 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.
22:28:47 <nsITobin> yeah maybe I will buy my self a book for christmas or something
22:29:06 <nsITobin> jurrasic park book
22:33:04 <frg_Away> I remember that I liked Airframe the most.
22:44:44 <njsg> news://news.neodome.net/AI-20241007213048⊙rdfd jwz is going to love this one...
