@CanadianLuke Thanks, got it.
Nov 18, 2014 22:10
@CanadianLuke Yes please, that would be helpful.

I'm not sure what help pages I was reading yesterday, but apparently the correct way to submit an article is to email it to the appropriate person, await suggestive feedback, implement suggestions, and email it back. So I'm ditching the Trello account, I will implement @CanadianLuke 's suggestions (fix grammar, hyperlink, add more pics), and email it to the correct person. Thanks for the feedback Canadian Luke.

Not interested in getting actively involved, but I just wrote up a draft for a little something. It might not be blog-worthy, I'll let ya'll decide. The blog says to sign up for Trello, and post my username here. My trello username is "tellmeyoursfirst". The document draft is temporarily available here: copy.com/OVPlCrq2EwDHTGHd

I'm very poor at bash, but I started making this out of boredom = https://copy.com/r8xmWwL4EkmyVF9b
It's a pretend command prompt, with basic ping support, `ping #.#.#.#`.

@MichaelFrank Good to know.

I always forget the [at username] when I reply. @MichaelFrank

what does "sif" mean. I googled it, and urban dictionary says "Secret Internet Fatty".

Nice talking, but I gotta go.
Sep 26, 2014 06:25
Why would both ends need to be open? or is it a 2 person?
Sep 26, 2014 06:22
Never seen those before.
Sep 26, 2014 06:17
essentially an expensive tarp I guess.
Sep 26, 2014 06:17
I would love to get one of those mountain tents. Basically just slips over you sleeping bag as a cover, but then has poles at the front so you don't suffocate.
Sep 26, 2014 06:15
so i put out lots of C02
Sep 26, 2014 06:15
That's probably why misqittos love me so much. I'm a mouth breather.
Sep 26, 2014 06:14
I suppose the downside would be if you fail, when you go to suck in breath again you might get a mouthful of nourishment.
Sep 26, 2014 06:13
I'll have to remember that.
Sep 26, 2014 06:11
except a few always seem to make it in with me.
Sep 26, 2014 06:11
I will admit I do enjoy the mosqito protection though.
Sep 26, 2014 06:09
yup.
Sep 26, 2014 06:07
Frank you coming to sleep? No thanks, I'll stand.
Sep 26, 2014 06:06
Not sure which would be worse, closing the sleeping bag, and suffocating or letting the snakes in.
Sep 26, 2014 06:06
Then it goes back to your previous mention of being in a "sharing mood".
Sep 26, 2014 06:03
they all go land on your neighbors house lol :P
Sep 26, 2014 06:02
Whatever keeps em away.
Sep 26, 2014 06:01
Testing for leaks?
Sep 26, 2014 06:01
I'm not sure I'd want to lay my life to a rope, hence why I don't climb either.
Sep 26, 2014 06:00
the rope trick, supposedly you lay a rope around your sleeping area, and snakes will stay way thinking it's another snake.
Sep 26, 2014 05:59
I wasn't aware of the mark your territory thing. I suppose that makes sense though.
Sep 26, 2014 05:57
I've always wondered if that "rope circle" trick to keep snakes away in the night actually works?
Sep 26, 2014 05:57
My grandmother's place is crawling with little ones in the summer time. They like the rocks.
Sep 26, 2014 05:56
I once almost picked up a snake thinking it was a stick. (not a poisonus one though).
Sep 26, 2014 05:55
PAVE THERE PLEASE.
Sep 26, 2014 05:54
There's a TV show called Survivorman, and in this one episode the guy is on a tropical island. He turns on the camera at night and the groupd is covered with spiders the size of a hand, all running around.
Sep 26, 2014 05:54
unless you count volkswagon beetles.
Sep 26, 2014 05:53
The upside to paved landscapes is less bugs.
Sep 26, 2014 05:50
for good reason, but still irritating.
Sep 26, 2014 05:49
The upside to going to a paved campsite is that you are more likely to be allowed to have a fire. Out in the bush they are always putting on bans.
Sep 26, 2014 05:47
As a kid I was cub scout. A few times we went indoor camping, lol.
Sep 26, 2014 05:44
what do you mean "running"? They were fake fires?
Sep 26, 2014 05:43
I don't like summer much, too hot.
Sep 26, 2014 05:43
I could not do that, I would faint from the heat.
Sep 26, 2014 05:41
Problem of the past though. I don't have that machine anymore.
Sep 26, 2014 05:40
<---- Sole cause of global warming. Runs fans when they aren't needed, makes house furnace work harder.
Sep 26, 2014 05:39
Easier to put on blanket, and pretend there's no problem.
Sep 26, 2014 05:38
@MichaelFrank It get's cold here in the winter, so the computer doesn't generate enough heat, thuse the fans blew cold air.
Sep 26, 2014 05:37
I had 10 fans in my old desktop, it made my room really cold in the winter.
Sep 26, 2014 05:35
I suppose you have some major cooling setup? Water?
Sep 26, 2014 05:32
Do you do much overclocking?
