riot gear wouldn't protect you from me anyway
Doesn't stop me from trying
I'm not going anyway, so you're safe
That's a trap. You're definitely going to show up
nope
@kalina depends on the riot gear, but if this is your thought about riot gear you might be right
12:04
@Blem Actually that would create a 3km repulsion radius of safety
She wouldn't even want to risk catching a glimpse of my shadow if I were going around like that.
I'm afraid I would however be banished from life from the kingdom in the process.
The question, however, is another
My activity graph makes me wonder if I ever sleep: chat.stackexchange.com/users/10895/nightexcessive
@kalina lol
I'm perfectly happy with having a one hour gap in my graph
12:12
then again, over the last 10 months I've said as much as some of the people who've been here since the bridge opened
this time next year I'll be the most active user by quite some margin
I like what my graph tells me: I sleep through Wednesdays.
You'll get bored way before that
@badp while you personally may want me to get bored, around the time I get bored I will also likely stop using stackexchange
@kalina That's what you've been bragging about/menacing anyway!
I'm just going by what you've said
@badp that's what I do
in fairness, I haven't found anywhere else to go yet, which is a break from tradition
you may just be stuck with me
12:15
imagines a 65yo kalina, still chatting here
I know, terrible news for everybody
I probably won't live to 65
I still have the mental image
@badp @kalina would be an awesome 65 year old
I doubt I will make it past ~40 tbh
too many drugs when I was younger
just think
12:17
My phone refuses to boot :(
when we'll all be 60, Google might just still be around
@badp Google will be our supreme overlord by then
nah what will happen is, the governments of the world will go bankrupt one after another, starting with America, and will be bailed out by the major corporations of the time
the world will then be run by CEOs instead of politicians and re-purposed to their own requirements
All of this political talk reminds me of a couple of hilarious quotes from the spokesperson of Golden Dawn:

Q: Getting two drops from a single match, how does it work?

ChrisHateZWhen you play Dota 2, after each match there is a small chance you'll get a "drop". Basically you'll get an item if you're lucky. You also get an item everytime you level up (fill the battle points bar). Now i saw few people get 2 drops in a single match. How exactly does that work? Is it possib...

Q: Is there a tank in any of the GTA 2 multiplayer maps?

William 'MindWorX' MariagerTitle says it all. Is there a tank in any of the GTA2 multiplayer maps?

12:22
@badp Congratulations?
@NightExcessive what is Golden Dawn?
@fredley ?
You got the internship?
@Blem Greek fascists
@fredley 99.9%, yes, I have. How'd you know?
@badp Magic.
> "badp" has changed information in your poll "Arqade London Meetup".
12:24
@fredley I actually added dates
@badp Well quite, there had to be a reason, right?
so the most reasonable guess would've been that I didn't and that as a result freed up more days on my calendar
@Blem Greek neo-Nazis in denial
Speaking of polls, I'm going to stare at @kalina for a bit
@kalina ಠ_ಠ
I said no
12:25
@kalina ಠ_ಠ
I'm still saying no
@kalina ಠ_ಠ
Fine ok I'll say yes
You can still fill in the poll saying "No option works for me"
...but I really mean no
12:26
@kalina \o/
@kalina ಠ_ಠ
I don't do internet meetups, they result in diaster
@kalina ...which implies you've done at least one
I will either fall out with you all
get arrested
or gain multiple stalkers
I've done one and I had to censor the only photo that was published
2
@kalina Please tell us a story
12:27
@fredley NO.
@kalina I thought you would use the opportunity to set fire to the meetup place ;-)
@MadScientist This is what these fools are obviously not afraid of
@MadScientist Kill all the birds with one fire.
Listen, an internet meetup in a pub is a bad idea
First of all, none of you smoke weed
Second of all, it's illegal to smoke weed in this country
Thirdly, I don't drink
Fourthly, I hate all of you
the last internet meetup I've done was in Amsterdam
just saying
12:28
Fifthly, I don't like London
@kalina Fine, fine, meetup location changed to: @kalina's house
5
still, no weed was involved
there was much bufala, though.
I should really read more of meta; I didn't know of this Britland meet up!
Sixthly, I don't do internet meetups
This would actually be my third internet meetup
12:29
plus you'll all violate my privacy under the supposed intent of "fun"
Seventhly, oranges are delicious.
Should that actually make me feel old?
London...
And in the summer. Welp, nevermind!
@kalina :(
@NightExcessive August isn't summer, it's autumn
@fredley NO
12:32
@kalina Don't you think I'm also concerned about that? Some people actually seem surprisingly understanding of you not wanting your photo online for all to see, however (and then there's Fredley)
there is actually a photo of me online
I am pretending that it isn't me
@kalina Either way: I'm getting shipped back to the US on 15/7/13
I found it last week, I am in a nightclub and my eyes are dilated to the point where they look like big black puddles
@NightExcessive are they going to pack you up in a box and everything?
@kalina Well done
12:34
@badp A very large box. With wings.
@fredley dilated eyes are the best, it implies lots of chemicals
in other news
@MadScientist have you seen the stuff from eve fanfest?
new jump animations, oculus vr support, etc
the EVE: Origins video
Kalina was the one bouncing all over the place
@badp to be fair, everybody at these kind of events is in pretty much the same condition
@kalina suffering from severe cases of livebloggitis?
or, worse, livetweeteritis
@kalina yes
12:37
@badp I am trying to decipher your silliness, I failed.
@MadScientist well, fine then
what is the easiest way in a browser to draw some points with lines in between them and text at the points.
Like this map but with out the background (for now):
@Blem sounds like you want a canvas object. maybe even webgl
@Blem In a PNG
@Blem ASCII art! ... or an image with a transparent background
@NightExcessive that would be fun if you could do it easy
12:42
@Blem Seriously though, for an irregular graph like that, use a canvas.
@badp that was what I was thinking, but was wondering if there was some libary to make it less daunting
@Blem It's not that daunting, here's what I'd do:
Have an array of coordinates of 'stars'
Write a method to draw a star (circle) given a point
Write a method to draw a point from X to Y
That's basically it
so all i needed to do is take a screen shot of the map in game, then plot the points and i can make a map from the points
@Blem are you going to generate your own maps or just recreate a finite set of maps from a game?
if the latter, then all you need is the background and a bunch of li items with unique ID and absolute positioning
my first goal is to generate the maps from the game, then i would like to combine all the maps in to one big, that will take a bit of wigeling with cordinats
12:45
you get all the goodies of CSS in the process
fuck my cat just literally quacked out loud
the diamonds on the map goes to other maps
that's called an hyperlink :P
Sounds like web 2.0 is enough for your needs
@badp ... My goal is to get them all on one map
@Blem won't you risk overlaps?
and then color them based on dificulty
@badp yes, loads of overlaping, thats why the first goal is just to recrate the maps
12:48
Okay, well, take screenshots of the maps and recreate them in vector
as i said i will need to do a bit of wigeling to fit them all together
Like, paste the image on Powerpoint or something and place circles and lines and labels where they belong
If things get particularly hairy you might even give a finger to the original layout of the map and recreate everything with dot
although quality of results will vary
well it is not a big deal if the map in the end dose not look like the original shape as long as the connections are still the same and I can group all the Planets the maps represent together
Idear is to then overlay (maybe with colors) depending on what information you want: level of event, type of event, enemy in event, resources you can get from event etc.
I once recreated the Milan metros and suburban system in it, but I can't find the output anymore
but the software's really meant to give you stuff like this:
from a purely text based description
pretty much, then with optional overlays
12:57
Ubuntu -> Bios [label=fsck]
the overlays could just be background color
@Blem Maybe to do that you'll have to apply magic to the resulting .svg file
like how they can be interactive and stuff
(ugh)
it might be easier to do it by hand with Illustrator or Visio or whatever
