The Nineteenth Byte

@BetaDecay Why thank you - but I didn't like having a trademark in my name. And I kind of like trichoplax too - it's like a multicelled phagocyte (all it's individual cells eat).

I may go back to the turtle avatar at some point though - this one is purely for research purposes

does @trichoplax's identicon on the top right side act weird at times for anyone else ?

trichoplax

Yes - that's why I made it - to find out if the flickering to low res that all the icons do could be enhanced to a full image change

Optimizer

so those icons flickr b/w low and high res ?

trichoplax

It turned out to take so long to change avatar that I gave up on the experiment. It was going to be a challenge...

Beta Decay

Oooh cool. Biological names are cool @trichoplax

trichoplax

@Optimizer Every 10 to 20 seconds each avatar refreshes, and displays at lower resolution for a fraction of a second. Some are more noticeable than others. Dennis's shows up quite well

@BetaDecay Thanks :)

I see. So there is nothing wrong with my eyes afterall.

Beta Decay

I'd have xanthophyll but no one would know who I was if I changed it

trichoplax

No one knew who I was for a while - I changed my avatar at the same time...

Beta Decay

Haha I had no idea who you were until I checked to see where in the world you were in your orofile

trichoplax

I have no idea why they refresh every 20 seconds. It's not as if they update to display a changed avatar - I had to exit chat completely for that.

Optimizer

If I go back to my old avatar, no one will remember me..

@BetaDecay I want to check out your orofile too

@Optimizer What type of llama did you used to be?

Beta Decay

I seem incapable of typing the letter p without hitting the o key on my phone keyboard :/

Optimizer

@trichoplax worse than feersum

trichoplax

Optimizer

Beta Decay

@Optimizer Shh you're just being cruel now Ootimizer

Beta Decay

You're being a right orat now

trichoplax

@Optimizer I want pictures to explain the concept even though the golf is only binary input and text output. I tried drawing rounded cubes by hand and decided I needed help.

Optimizer

ummm wat?

trichoplax

@Optimizer That's a reply to "or you can use text"

Optimizer

@trichoplax text is a programming language

trichoplax

10:17 PM

For producing images?

Optimizer

where you dont need quotes.

no, for printing stuff

text stuff

trichoplax

Um, is that a loophole?

Anyway, I don't think I can get helpful rounded cube images in ASCII

Optimizer

I am not sure what I am sleep talking anymore..

Beta Decay

@trichoplax What's a rounded cube?

Optimizer

a cubhere

That's what I want Blender to explain :)

Optimizer
