[04:08] Who else SHOULD have the ballz to log on with the name KOTH? ;) [04:09] Just checking ;-) [04:09] I'm the IRCOP, so I'd HOPE it was Tuc, otherwise we are in trouble. :) [04:10] So what's up? [04:10] I'm just getting ready for work :-( [04:10] Well, that's a lousy start to a day. [04:11] Hopefully we'll finish early today :-) [04:11] I'm pretty busy at the moment with some web projects [04:12] Hopefully atleast interesting web projects..... [04:12] I think the only web project that keeps my attention is corewar.co.uk ;-) [04:12] I lose interest in the others pretty quickly [04:13] HAHAHAHA. I hear ya there. [04:13] Wish that there was something that could be done to better promote things... Maybe COREWARS needs a release on a Playstation or XBox [04:14] I think we could help promote ourselves more [04:15] (I saw today where you can load Linux on a PlayStation 3 and then run the BOINC to do some massive project that Playstation 3 is optimized for?!) [04:15] Probably every corewar page should have a prominent section on the first page with a link to a description of corewar and some tutorials [04:15] Well, I'm open to any suggestions anyone has... I'm sure JKW would tell me anything that people wanted added to the site. [04:16] Like sf has done on http://corewar.atspace.com [04:17] Probably a video tutorial would be nice ;-) [04:17] Need to go, leaving the house in 5 mins!

Then browse the many <> to Corewar to learn the ropes. " [04:18] Oops. [04:19] JKW, if your logging this, can you make it a bit more "present" on the KOTH page. Anyone want to make a video and get it shown EXCLUSIVELY on KOTH? (Then the next day other places can use it. :) ) [04:22] KOTH Hill status emails approved. Should be listserv'd and Usenet'd in the next hour. [04:25] JKW: Also looks like the impring graphics moved or something.... Check the bottom of the initial KOTH page.

[15:14] No idea [15:14] aren't they aware of your taste for young mutton?

[16:35] Yes and the http://corewar.atspace.com [16:35] Not much on the blog yet [16:35] I need to do something worth writing about! [16:36] and what about that blogspot-page? [16:37] http://sfghoul.blogspot.com [16:37] yup [16:37] Not much there :( [16:40] ok, now you are in for a stupid question, sf [16:40] I'm used to that [16:40] sf: Is that you in the photo or is it a fake [16:40] ?

[16:44] http://corewar.atspace.com/bv48.png [16:45] And I have http://corewar.atspace.com/sfg48.png [16:45] I make funny little pictures of people I make on the internet [16:45] Then play crazy games with them! [16:45] uh oh [16:45] memory? [16:46] * sf_ghoul stretches bvowk! [16:46] Hi Core_new [16:46] * Core_new says Hello [16:46] Please can I have a picture of you for my crazy little game ;) [16:46] mh, let me think... :-D [16:47] memory? [16:47] don't know memory? [16:47] bvowk: find two matching tiles = memory [16:47] ahh. [16:47] At least it's called memory here in germany [16:47] Does it have a different name over there, where you live? [16:48] * bvowk bets sf plays doom with the little pictures.. [16:48] I can't remember that tiny country's name right now [16:48] little bvowk imps running around [16:48] hehe [16:48] maybe something like dungeon keeper... [16:49] you could even build *more* of them... [16:50] * sf_ghoul builds a multitude of bvowk replicants [16:50] then eradicates them [16:51] sf: That's too easy. Build them. Set each one on fire. Watch the fun! [16:52] Then dust away the ashes [16:53] the ask? [16:53] maybe he could send you a sound sample, too? Some kind of...ah, shriek or cry or something [16:53] *ash [16:54] Core_new: No, you need the sound those Lemmings do when they explode [16:54] mhm, wasn't it something like "pop!"? [16:54] that's a brilliant idea. [16:54] Bvowk: how about a sampled shriek? :) [16:54] Core_new: Don't forget the "Oh, no!" [16:55] ah! [16:55] :-D [16:55] the golden days of youth [16:55] ...

[17:01] what about [17:01] * Core_new scratches his head [17:01] F.Pohl [17:01] Gateway trilogy [17:01] ha! [17:02] hmm ... maybe I should again read Deathly Hallows ... It is fun to annoy all those children ... the Germany translation is still to be released [17:02] Core_new: hmm ... let's see what it is about [17:02] not quite sf, eh? [17:03] It's about a lost species that created something like a huge spaceport [17:03] hmmmm ... nothing new so far ;) [17:03] there are many stationed ships there [17:04] no one knows how to steer, they can just be started and set on autopilot [17:04] it's a bit like roulette...some never come back, others get mad, others get rich [17:05] the protagonist loses his love but get's back and becomes rich [17:05] hmm ... already read the Wikipedia-summary [17:05] well, doesnt sound that interesting - but it is! [17:05] aha [17:05] Most sf-plots don't sound interessting [17:05] Maybe I [17:06] then I also liked "Ringworld" from Larry Niven [17:06] 'll give it a try [17:06] Core_new: already read [17:06] mh [17:06] what about [17:06] The Mote in God's Eye [17:07] what's your favourite? [17:08] hehe ... I had to look that one up ... I couldn't remember the English title because I've only read the German translation [17:09] Currently it is the Night's-Dawn-trilogy [17:09] by Peter F. Hamilton [17:10] mh, don't know that [17:10] You have to read it :) [17:10] but I'm already searching for a new book...after I'll finish Revelation Space from Alistair Reynolds [17:10] Nice one :) [17:11] ya [17:11] It has everything you need ... the Dead returning to possess the living ... whole planets destroyed ... tons's of action sequences ... 3d special effects ... beautiful women [17:12] And I know for sure that it is (and will be) impossible to create a movie out of it [17:12] ... at least not a good one [17:13] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Night%27s_Dawn_Trilogy [17:14] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallen_Dragon and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_Saga are almost as good [17:15] Wow! Sounds quite good! [17:15] Yes, but don't read the German translation. it is awful [17:17] And don't read the plot summaries now. [17:17] It would be a lot less fun then! [17:17] okay [17:18] I'll give ebay a try [17:18] Hehe ... here in Germany it is difficult to get the English originals via ebay :( [17:19] mhm [17:20] So far I had to buy all of those books [17:24] sry, phone [17:25] no problem [17:41] MSG: Quit: I don't like you.

[19:52] I had some code once that has a NOP in it... just in increment en decrement two locations :( [19:53] I've had at least one Koth containing add #1 though, so it can't be that bad [19:57] Does anyone use any social network sites? [19:58] I'm sorry to say I signed up for facebook, because I got sick of hearing about all the wonders of it whenever someone asked me if I wanted to be their friend there [19:58] I really don't get it tho. [19:58] I'm not on facebook [19:58] * Roy boycotts myspace/facebook and hyves.. [19:58] If I want a profile, I'll make one on my own site [19:59] I only have a linkedin account heh... [19:59] I use stumbleupon and reddit [19:59] I've tried a few others and decided they're not worth the effort [20:00] Metcalf: But those sites actually offer some form of functionality, facebook only costs time [20:01] If only I could get the first loop to exit with the pointer containing the correct value, I could avoid the add #1, somewhere :-( [20:01] Isn't there any a or b-field that could increment it? [20:01] Yes, stumbleupon and reddit help keep me amused [20:09] reddit is really nowhere near as interesting as it used to be [20:10] Too much political rubbish on reddit [20:10] But submitting your site there can get you a nice amount of visitors [20:11] too many stupid pictures and cartoons! It's like my mom got email for the first time all over again.. day after day! [20:11] lol!
