00:31 rue_more I'm physically in one peice
00:32 rue_more but I'm not sure if I'm going insane
00:32 ifny hmm
00:32 ifny if you're not sure, then you're ok.
00:32 ifny if you think you're sane that's usually a bad sign
00:32 ifny or rather, if you're *sure*
00:32 rue_more the lines between biological life and mechnical life are blurring
00:32 ifny ooh exciting
00:33 ifny you're evolving.
00:33 rue_more an interesting thought is to have built ones self
00:34 rue_more I would definitly stand that its not for everyone
00:34 ifny speaking of spam i've just sent you some.
00:35 rue_more ok
00:35 ifny it's good to be a self made man eh
00:35 rue_more ah yes, we've met
00:35 rue_more the trickey bit with casting is the casting sand
00:36 rue_more I think I have new tricks for it
00:36 rue_more thankyou
00:40 ifny my pleausre
00:40 ifny *pleasure
00:41 ifny very exciting about a gibbons backspace eh
00:41 ifny haha spellcheck has apparently never heard of gibsons
00:41 ifny i want to make it up for a visit to your 'hood this summer
00:42 ifny you coming down at all?
00:44 rue_more there are a bunch of things all comming togethor at once here
00:44 rue_more I'm part of the other movement
00:44 rue_more ... (pls wait)...
00:45 rue_more http://www.coastmakers.com/main/summary
00:45 rue_more this is more of a gathering of people who are interested
00:45 ifny how come there are two movements?
00:45 ifny and how come it's "makers" not "hackers"?
00:45 rue_more there were more, they have blobed
00:46 ifny OIC
00:46 rue_more there was a decision to move away from 'hack'
00:46 rue_more were down to 2 known blobs
00:46 ifny why?
00:46 rue_more were both leaving it to darwin
00:46 ifny hehe
00:46 ifny but why don't ppl like hack?
00:47 rue_more 'hack' is computer-bad hackers and russian spies
00:47 ifny um.
00:47 ifny weird.
00:47 rue_more Bhak is driving the one group on his own prettymuch
00:47 ifny orly
00:48 rue_more the other group is more of a collection of like minds, getting togethor to know each other
00:48 ifny someone from the Coast not-spies should connect with VHS
00:48 rue_more me and another guy, not knowing of each other, were about to work on starting a hackspace
00:48 rue_more we kinda have
00:48 ifny how?
00:48 rue_more know armyofevilrobots?
00:49 ifny yes
00:49 rue_more he's living on the coast now
00:49 rue_more (they)
00:49 ifny heh
00:49 ifny how come Bhak isn't organizing with you folks?
00:49 rue_more and they are right in on things
00:49 ifny geography?
00:49 rue_more no
00:49 ifny right, but i mean the VHS in vancouver, as opposed to a former member who has relocated to the sunshine.
00:50 rue_more he has a goal to specifically build a hackspace
00:50 rue_more the groups dont conflict
00:50 ifny but VHS is all about makers and hackers
00:50 rue_more the goals are different
00:50 ifny oh.
00:50 ifny what are Coast Makers goals?
00:50 rue_more get togethor, know about each other, have fun
00:51 ifny VHS started Makerfaire in Vancouver after all.
00:51 ifny oh.
00:51 ifny so, more casual?
00:51 ifny like a club without worrying about a space?
00:51 rue_more it turns out there are over 25 people who came to the last meeting, each has their own shop, and didn't know about many of the others
00:51 rue_more yea
00:51 rue_more quite a bit more informal
00:52 rue_more hmm I need to recompress this mov into soemting that fits down the pipe to youtube
00:52 ifny interesting.
00:52 ifny i gotta eat my dinner.
00:52 rue_more :) about time
00:52 ifny now we both have missions to accomplish :P
00:53 rue_more I'm comming to the maker faire, but in reduced as a member of the coastmakers table
00:53 ifny cool
00:53 rue_more I need time to regroup my display :)
00:53 ifny let me know if you need a place to stay :)
00:53 rue_more oh yea
00:53 rue_more ok
00:53 ifny and any of your crew :)
00:54 rue_more me? no crew
00:54 ifny oh, i mean the coastmakers
00:54 ifny maybe you are 25 only in your mind? maybe your mind *is* going a little sideways
00:54 ifny ;)
00:55 rue_more I'm sure the heck not almost 40 :/
00:56 ifny i mean 25 people at coastmakers
00:56 rue_more I better get with the system for hosting a mind
00:56 ifny but i hear ya
00:56 rue_more na, I dont think 25 will show there
00:59 ifny no, i mean about not having a crew
00:59 ifny you said you're coming as coastmakers
01:00 rue_more yup
01:01 rue_more I'll see about bringing the robotic dog
01:01 ifny wow!
01:01 rue_more I just call it the dog
01:01 ifny hehe
01:01 ifny simple, i like it.
01:01 rue_more its clumbsy, messy, and needfull
01:01 ifny just like a real dog
01:01 rue_more :)
01:01 ifny except that it's not so needy that it will die without food right?
01:02 rue_more manual charging, yea
01:02 ifny cos robot dogs are hard to come by...
01:02 ifny manual?
01:02 ifny this i gotta see.
01:02 rue_more turn it off and clip on the charger
01:02 rue_more after drgging it to the charger
01:03 ifny maybe you should get a longer leash/extension cord?
01:03 rue_more its battery powered
01:03 rue_more its vector drive, which was sort of an experiment
01:04 ifny vector drive?
01:04 rue_more like a car
01:04 ifny um.
01:04 rue_more opposed to a tank, which is how I do them all now
01:04 ifny ahh
01:05 ifny ok
01:05 ifny crikey, why does ChanServ keep bugging me
01:05 ifny "*** Notice -- TS for ##bicycle changed from 1397693561 to 1240411350"
01:05 rue_more you were unlogged in when the server borked
01:05 rue_more oh
01:05 ifny it's sending me that like every 6 hours
01:06 rue_more aha! 140M to 18M
01:06 ifny and it's in my room...
01:06 ifny very weird to have ChanServ in my room
01:06 ifny it's like my IRC mom is in my room and won't go.
01:06 rue_more I think they play with that every so often
01:06 ny contemplates kickbanning Chan
01:06 rue_more with the right incantation you can dispell it
01:07 rue_more could be something like /msg chanserv part ##bicycle
01:07 ifny interesting
01:08 ifny but then ChanServ might get postpartum depression.
01:09 ifny what's a TS?
01:09 rue_more TAFT
01:09 rue_more er
01:09 rue_more TAAFT
01:09 rue_more (theres an app for that)
01:10 rue_more if anyone mentions a problem they have, say TAAFT.
01:11 rue_more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjMhJxS96Lk
01:11 rue_more did it work?
01:11 rue_more I think so
01:12 ifny whoa
01:12 ifny great arm
01:12 ifny is that new?
01:12 rue_more yes
01:12 ifny yeah i told ChanServ to TAAFT off
01:12 ifny but it ignored me
01:12 rue_more I'm trying to think of things to make the arm do
01:13 rue_more so far, ideas consist of making toast and deleting the emails off my iphone
01:13 rue_more (as you can only do them one at a time)
