1:36 AM

Ah cool

I once went to a youthgroup

We did really fun stuff, but I didn't like the kids

Our group is small, but all really good kids

I can understand that

Yeah

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Mines a bit of a combination

Public School Middle Schoolers != good company. They only texted, I thought they were mute or something.

1:37 AM

. . . that's pathetic

IKR

Yeah

I agree

And 90% of them sat glumly during the discussion/lesson time

That is always the best part

man, I can see why you weren't interested

Well we would go on trips and go-cart and laser tag

that was fun

1:38 AM

that is fun

A lot of the middle schoolers drive me crazy

@GiantCowFilms Yeah, that's not good

but that was rarely

Yeah

To give you a picture, the leaders/adults, gloated over me which has never ever happened before.

normally I can just see them wishing to fix ductape over my mouth

It is too bad all the teaching is on Sunday, we get two sermons in the morning (a lesson time, and a service) and a lesson at night

1:40 AM

@GiantCowFilms ping pong and pool, I'm jealous.

Then the teens are kinda out of the loop for the rest of the week

@David I only play ping pong

but do you have a pool table?

No

My mom wants to buy one, but we have no space

I only play pool

1:41 AM

@David I was the one playing pool

O, ok then I'm not jealous. :)

We are looking into a foldable one

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ and @TARDISMaker you guys a a table?

but they are hard to get evidently......?

I don't

1:41 AM

I have a bad one

@GiantCowFilms foldable pool ?!?!

I play at youth group

ah

@TARDISMaker neat

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ still funner then none.

yeah

1:42 AM

^^

wow how did I miss the all "h-v-e"

1 min ago, by David

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ and @TARDISMaker you guys a a table?

lol

I knew what you meant

@David two a's to

@David I miss words all the time

that is the crazy thing, our brain just gets it.

its a major problem

1:44 AM

@David nice :)

@GiantCowFilms you guys have a table?

@David Yeah

I think it's because we skim things

So we pay a lot more attention to context and what we expect to see next than what actually comes next

@David :D

@TARDISMaker very ture

and that was just proved right a second time

But now that I see your mistake I can't take my eyes off of it

Or is a ture a new slang word or something?

@TARDISMaker nope, just a very on topic, yet still a mistake typo.

1:48 AM

I didn't miss the others, but the ture I completely missed

:)

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ me too, I had to reread all my messages when @TARDISMaker mentioned it.

That only reason I noticed it was because I was thinking about typos

That only reason @TARDISMaker?

Basically

1:49 AM

Not the best grammar

Was that one purposeful?

lets see just how bad something can be written and we can still read it.

You wrote "that only reason" @TARDISMaker

Was there a reason?

Ah, okay

Well, in the spirit of this conversation, I'm not editing it :)

woh wnats ot go frist? I ues bleder, adn BES. Hre I m a modtaor.

translation?

1:53 AM

Who wants to go first? I use blender and BSE. Here I'm a moderator

who wants to go first? I use blender, and BSE. Here I

yeah

I beat you :)

I was wrangling nodes in Cycles

exactly

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Ah, okay

1:53 AM

one of you wrt one

That's much more productive than me

ecenglish.com/learnenglish/lessons/can-you-read

@David ksdjfha;osdhfuashdfhasdkufh

lol

I can sight read that article at a tremendous pace

crazy

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ That's awesome

1:54 AM

if I slow down i get confused

I can somewhat read it

@TARDISMaker I'm tired and board. Now I'm randomly bashing on the keyboard to see if anything comes out.

@TARDISMaker IKR?

google.com/…

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ wow, I have seen stuff like that before. but still amazing.

@David Nope it's, I am board and tired. Now I am randomly bashing the keyboard to see if anything comes out.

1:55 AM

yeah

@TARDISMaker *bored

Same for you @David

He might have done that because he knows that I tend to write it that way without thinking

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ sorry it is still hard for me to read the correct homophone when it is nonsense.

@TARDISMaker (me too)

nothing important happening I guess

Yeah

But I need to go to bed

See you guys tomarrow

(literally)

(no)

ok

toe marrow

got it

2:07 AM

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ two days after yesterday.

lol

Q: Contest for an Image for our blender nation article

2:26 AM

1

Bart, who runs blendernation.com, has agreed to run an article when our site graduates. All articles have a featured image; we need one. So this is a call for artwork. The size for featured image on an article is 728px wide by 336px tall. There is no set theme (as I have no idea what should g...

Take a look, I think all you guys will like this. ^^

Yeah :D

@X-27 look at my rep (17,127)

cool

3:07 AM

@David Gonna have to enter

is N 22nd the launch date of our site?

We bought a super cheap drill press

Plastic?

My dad broke it while tightening a nut with his HANDS

!!!!

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Yes

And the metal screws keep stripping.

My grandpa is keen on having good tools, so he has a really nice one

3:09 AM

I think they are made out of powered metal that has been pressed (pun) into the shape of a screw

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Yeah....

we use this it to build antennas, so we have a fairly wide tollerence

bbl

ok

3:42 AM

2.76a officially released unofficially; help test it to make sure this doesn't happen to the next version :)

2

lol

I haven't noticed anything myself, but I'll keep an eye out

2.8x project goals (for developers, or just anyone who likes to keep an eye on the technical side of blender)

:)

@GiantCowFilms is there too many jokes in it? (tell me honestly) I was not trying hint at anything with the line you quoted.

@GiantCowFilms I can't say... because I don't know.

@GiantCowFilms public beta started on may 29th, 2013

@gandalf3 what do you think of the meta post? too over the top?

3:56 AM

?

meat..??

o

lol

there... I flipped the t and the a

It really actually is important that the first and last letters be correct :P

@gandalf3 m--a

Looks alright to me, but that may be because I'm on the right side of that fine print o.O

@David I misspelled my mpea post

@gandalf3 O well, now you all can talk about BSE's site meat. A place where we discus the main site and eat meta. :)

4:02 AM

:P

dowloadable from a wifi connection near you!

@gandalf3 lol exactly.

night

o/

4:14 AM

@David you should link to your ban hammer in the meta post :P

@David Also, I'm offended that you left me out of your post....

:P

Or even a radish, large cow, or a bottle of milk. (@ARadish, @GiantCowFilms @zeffii) Etc.

:P

Oh wait, there is an edit button

@gandalf3 They better not drop constraints without a good replacement.... also that is going to crush backwards compatibility.....

That's sortof the point

Every single rig out there will break, instantly. maybe the will be just making internal changes

which would be fine, but then they wouldn't make a big deal out of it

@gandalf3 Eek

2.8x = break everything, but make everything good

I personally wouldn't mind saying bye-bye to the sequencer.

2.7x will still exist

4:20 AM

@gandalf3 Some people still use 2.49b

ikr

@gandalf3 But you get stuck in the past

Until you're able to move to the future

Yes... but my old files

(once the future is stable enough and/or better than the past)

4:22 AM

I hope with constraints and particles that they will be replacing and not dropping

'cause there is a TONE of stuff you cannot do without those

I would be very surprised if that was not the case :P

as in it would instantly become useless for half of what I use it for

@gandalf3 :P

but they keep on saying drop, not replace

I think I'm over stressing this

bbl

the slightest whisper of change == stress :P

5:02 AM

@gandalf3 Breaking change that is

@GiantCowFilms so did i miss the last half of my own conversation cause i was at youth group? lol

6:23 AM

@GiantCowFilms That didn't come out quite the way I intended..

10:00 AM

boom

12:31 PM

kablewey

1:04 PM

sizzle

2:05 PM

pop

crackle

2:20 PM

@David Um... That isn't your rep anymore...

3:14 PM

@GiantCowFilms you missed snap and then you have the whole cereal commercial.

lol

so, are you going to try to make an image for the BA nonsense?

Maybe

we should make personallized ban hammers for each of the mod (conversational whiplash there)

lol

3:22 PM

yah. Gandalf has his diamond staff

Gwenn

I might try to make something, if I come up with any good ideas.

Iklsr has the regular hammer with lightning coils.

(and of course a diamond in it)

@X-27 but those were like 6-second things

and David has..... Um.... a diamond embedded hat?

hahaha

3:27 PM

@X-27 @David uses his bare hands right now

@X-27 are you going to try to make something for the BN image?

I might...

I might do something neat... but I probably won't win....

why so much speculation?

Gwenn

@ARadish Blender Nation, not Blender Artists.

@Gwenn right, sorry

3:44 PM

@ARadish What?

I already have an idea I may or may not bother to exicute

it would be cool though

(if this is the BN header we are talking about)

@GiantCowFilms You really must be part of every joke. :)

@ARadish lol

@David Well

I wonder if we should just collaborate on this BN header

the scene I want to do will take a fair amount of work

@GiantCowFilms I was originally think of something like that. but thought that tihis might be better.

What is your idea @GiantCowFilms?

Okay

Lemme start with the back story

3:54 PM

ok

I was worried, as per my comment, that everything we came up with was chat in-jokes, which won't give a good picture of our site to the public

Once upon a time, in a land far away...

yeah

So I was thinking, what is BSE to a BN reader who just learn't about it. What is BSE for most users in general.

Ask and share knowledge

3:55 PM

a Q and A site.

yep

Answer: An organized, SEO friendly collection of answers to most common problems.

@GiantCowFilms O, no. not at all. Just that was there my mind was at (too mush time in here :))

So I was thinking, what represents that picture:

Organized boxes

@GiantCowFilms please dont say you want to make an image that displays SEO!

3:56 PM

Like filing cabinates.

@David (no)

@GiantCowFilms ok, proceed.

Immediately, this scene game to mind:

Hmmmmmmmm

It is the final shot of Raiders of the Lost Ark

So......

so ouch that is a ton of boxes

but good idea

3:57 PM

I though it would be fun to re-create that, but with our little charicters running around putting things in boxes

and tag lables on the boxes

Awesome

Can we do it in 3 weeks?

it has the bonus of being an Uber-recognizable movie reference.

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Well i was thinking that boxes are quite similar, so we model and texture a bunch of boxes and thin Alt-D the rest

the remaining portion of the scene isn't terribly complex

this is my idea.. you probably won't like it...

@GiantCowFilms I quite like your idea, but this image does not have to represent us or the site. It could just be a really neat image. (hence all the crazy examples.)

3:59 PM

@David True, but I thought it would be cool to have something that represented us

And it could tie into the "plug" we send to bart

like, a stack of belnders being exchanged?
