• Hello!

What would you like the geeks to invent?

I want the following:

- a "virtual album" - lightweight monitor-type thing 20cmx20cm to show photos, either from Flickr or a memory stick.
- I don't know if the later cameras have them - a USB memory stick instead of the CS card
- be able to send photos directly from the camera
- travel agents use a system called "Gallileo" which is a great name, but they have to search each airline individually. They need to put this on the web so you can search using any criteria

1 - www.chumby.com, it's the crafty version


3 - send photos where?
4 - gallileo is teh sux0r but it's like that for a reason

1.ta (chumby's are cool) i recon one day we'll just walk around with chumby-phone things and connect to the beast via our chip. heh
3.to an email address?
4.what reason?

1 - you can make one out of a small PS1 screen.
2 - adaptors have been around for a while.
3 - CF cards with wireless built in aren't exactly new.
4 - Like this?

Anything else we can help you with, Syl?

Salt?

!"£$%^&*((*&^%$£"£$%^&*

Better.

What did that say before he edited it?
*rolls up sleeves*
*brandishes large stick*

I'm a big girl ya know. You don't wanna be messin' wit' me!

Salt.

And, you know, don't mention it.

Oh, I thought it was something mean.

Sorry.

Salt will be mortified you mixed him up with me.

And thankyou.

we have some change requests for human 2.0
we discussed this with alfie and red and some other people in amsterdam
- Steve wants talons or a chest cannon, he thinks we are puny predators
- alfie wants the arms to be off-zippable, as when you lie on your side there is always one in the way
- I want boobs to be lightweight
I've forgotten the rest

obviously the ablity to turn your neck 360 degrees, people can tell for themselves if their arse really does look big in those trousers

I'm with you on the boob thing Miki. I want nice little pert 34B's
Not my current melon-like 40E's. Aliens have contacted me to ask if they can land on my nipples.

I'd also like them to invent the holodeck from Star Trek.

see the size is one thing, steve seems to enjoy that, but lugging them around 24/7 is just a pain (in the neck to be precise).

/sits back to watch how this convo develops.

Ja, ek weet net wat jy bedoel. So eintlik moet hulle groot wees, maar nie baie swaar*. Polystyrene? Nah, too hard. Hmmm. Detachable!

*heh heh foxed you warhead! ;)

(Yes I know just what you mean. So actually they must be big but not heavy)

5. I want to be able to store my phone numbers in a format that I can download onto my new phone or if it gets stolen. I hate sitting there capturing all the numbers over. (Lazy Arse)

you *really* need to learn how to use google dear...

Ar, don't tell me that exists too? Shit.
*goes back to cave*

next tiem syl
remember the wise words of the jeffica
try google before here

But that leaves us nothing to discuss...
:(

Have we really discussed everything?

:(

Maybe.

it's not really a discussion, more of a flat question.. you could google all these things and then ask everyones opinions on the merits of them instead...

You don't see many black people on Countdown do you?

Actually, no you don't.
Good spot.

what's countdown precious?

Probably best to read about it on Wikipedia. First time I've looked it up and didn't realise it was originally a french game. Shame.

look at me mentioning black people and having a pop at the french. I could seem a little racist to the wrong person - i.e. overly sensitive.

Yeah. Leave Black people alone.



fucking french

This webchat with Twice Nightly is a nice read while we're on the subject of Countdown. Sorry to be hijacking your thread Syl, btw.

Sorry to hijack a thread? On here?

What the fuck?

Trying to cleanse my karma, innit. I said "black".

Oh god. Now I've said "karma". Bollocks, and "God" without a capital. I'd like it known that while I recognise the Hindu Faith I do not follow nor reconise it as "The One True Faith". I do however think that they follow a poly theology only bettered by the ancient Greek and Norse gods in awesomeness in my head. Still. It's a saying really. Don't read too much into it.

I said "black".

Is the 'correct' phrase "coloured" again, then?
I can never keep up.

Neither can I. I find it best to apologise just in case. Then with your mates call them G, Nigger and You Darky Lot because it's affectionate. Then you can rub them on the head and let them get on with the washing up and changing the horse shoes. They like that.

lets see how that one goes down

edit: For those that don't see what's coming, I'm attempting to instigate a discussion by being a little OTT.

sure sul
we all know who the real you is

Rub them on the head? Eeuw. ;)

no probs, this thread wasn't going anywhere anyway... heh heh

as the discussion isn't really going anywhere because we all know sul is the nicest person on here ...

let me entertain all of you with the image of me tumbling down the stairs
the blame for this incident ?
alcohol? no
fluffy slippers ? yes!

result: shattered pride, black and blue marks everywhere, 5 broken fingernails, one huge painful foot, a docters appointment in an hour to see if anything is actually broken and not being able to drive

no icecream for me, sniffle

Shitting hell, Miki. That's not funny. :(
I hope youre ok. Well, you're not but you know what i mean.
Fluffy slippers must GO!
P.S. you'll need to get some arnica for those bruises.

well if you must wear fluffy slippers
don't you know your cute enough without them.

Sul Hates The Foreign!!

I thought it WAS kinda funny
fluffy slippers have been put on probation

nothing is actually broken (according to the docters mind powers) so no funky coloured cast for me

here, miki, this new drug will cure your Fluffy Sulipper ailment

they are real
real I tell you
big pink elephant shaped slippers

WE WANT PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF THAT THESE SLIPPERS EXIST!

Yes, ek of weet exactly what means jy. So eintlik must hulle large orphan, but nie baie swaar

I used to have monster-feet style slippers when I were a nipper. I fell down the stairs on my arse plenty of times because of them.

Oh and last night I was pissed and pondering the hypocrisy surrounding racial issues. I'm over it now.

my fluffy slippers are really only slipper shaped, and they're not pink either

miki:evidence please
doc:hahahahahahaha!
sul:I don't need to be pissed to ponder that. Please elaborate as I find your comment interesting/intriguing. PS. Will become pissed if required.

they're not slippers -- your carpet is eating your feet

hmmm yetis are all around us

and cyclopses.

fortunately, they're friendly:

-D

O-)

Is Flickr down?

The time is now 9:26 on 18/10/06 in the UK and flickr is up.

bong

Bah. I can't get into Flickr. I get this :
Network Error (tcp_error)


A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

For assistance, contact your network support team.

Bloody irritating. Not that I should be surfing at work anyway... :O)

Is Flickr down?

I get this:
Network Error (tcp_error)
.....

For assistance, contact your network support team.

Do you think there might be a clue there that it is a network issue rather than an issue with flickr?

To be fair, it's not saying that it's a local network issue (though it probably is). It implies that the site is down with its "The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests" bit. The "for assistance" bit is just showing a path for further, more technical, details if needed.

I think it is on our side...I managed to get in, but it's awfully slow. I'm a bit bored and feel like sleeping at my desk. I can't phone NIS&T and complain that I can't get into Flickr!! hee hee. Although someof those geeks are rather hot. Maybe it's a nice excuse to engage one of them in conversation?
*waddles downstairs* ;)

Oh, and Brock :

Fuck fair. :)

It fairly obviously meant internal to me. Especially after greyhead's clarification.

Syl was pointing out the message she was getting. Not trying to pick a fight but I thought you were a little naively putting Syl down. The message basically says "the website is a bit fucked, have a word with your network admin/isp to find out whats going on". She didn't say "I think you're wrong, Mr Warhead", she said "I cant exactly ask IT at work." There are a few places the problem could be coming from, it's not a one stop trip for traffic from Syl's office to Flickr.

What the fuck is that?
And by not linking her image to Flickr, did Syl just break the T&Cs?

Sul: Naive schmaive. I was just picking on Syl, cos I knew flickr was fine...

Oh ok... carry on.

I know it's supposed to be an arse but it really does look more like a Viz-based ballsack.

I thought it was supposed to represent "Bollocks", actually.

It's my big fat white lumpy dumpy dimply pimply BUM

Strange ... it looks just like Brock's ...... oops, I've said too much, again.

Some people don't need bums because they blow all the hot air out of their mouths. ;) I won't mention any names, but follow my eyes :------------------------------------------------------------------------> Brock

you cheated
you did mention names

Kids! I turn my back for "2 days" and you're fighting again!

(grumble)
Sorry Doc...;)

Syl and Brock are like those kids who are always fighting and then eventually they melt into hot love action with filthy accessories.

Remember Tony Hart and Andi Peters. One minute squabbling, the next minute glued together like nothing on heaven and earth could separate them.

Holy crap. There's an image it's going to take some time to shake.

Syl and Brock are like those kids who are always fighting and then eventually they melt into hot love action with filthy accessories.

*SIGH* I should be SO lucky..

Holy crap. There's an image it's going to take some time to shake.
HHAHAHAHAHHAHAH,HAAAAA!

Gender issues, age issues and racial issues...
*head explodes*

gender issues? is tony hart a tranny then?

I meant the gay thing...

shame, tony would make a lovely lady

I think he's still got the hots for Pat Keysell.



After all, she was terribly good with her hands.

And just read this description of her. She was obviously some people's hot fantasy girl.


(How strange that about the only reasonable image I could find of her is on flickr and that the guy who posted it had a 'thing' for her.)
