Hey 7Bit, you ever gonna fix this?


I'm serious when I say I want Signature Plastics to redo these and have new ones sent to me.

My Duckys don't ping. They must suck.

You really suck at customer service.

And your shipping department is getting MIGHTY surly lately.

I had to double-check what thread I was in. I thought this was the flame thread for a minute.

I could not know that iMav is even slower than me.

This will not happen again!

On the other hand, I'm still waiting for pictures of the remaining kits.

It would have been much better, if you would have visited iMav to help him a bit and make some pictures so I would have known as early as possible what went wrong!

And to answer your question once again: Yes, there will be replacements.

7bit.

You mean Chloe's?

Yeah, but they were boring like DT's.

Needed pics to liven it up.

I don't quite get this American obsession with huge pics all over the place. Sounds suspiciously like ADHD to me.

According to ripster, what makes a good wiki entry is if you'd take that IBM M15 wiki page, throw in twenty pictures with your huge watermark in it so it has DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS, DAEDALUS poking in your eyes when you scroll through the page, throw in a bunch of non-science remarks (but call it science), don't answer any criticism especially if it involves logic and math, and include some of your endless repetition memes. Just imagine if wikipedia was this way. Each page would be some lonely asshole's childish, huge ego document.

Sounds like you just described Uncyclopedia... (Warning: Not Safe For Anywhere)

You forgot the coins. They are needed to demonstrate... uhmm... something.

Better than pulling official data from archived sites, of course.

Actually I'm getting pretty good at these thumbnail doohickies.

Vbulletin 4 has a pretty slick image manager. I'm dumping Flickr.

The Watermark Stays.

Thanks for answering the replacement question. I'm not getting near iMav when he is in this mood.

From a hobby-photographers perspective, I think it is up to the photographer to decide to use watermarks or not. Its perfectly fine.
Most people do not know how much work is involved, and Ripsters pictures are top notch.
Although I admit by times it are too much, but I guess this is because the GeekHack Wiki, albeit rich in information, has a crappy layout and should not be called "Wiki", because it is no Wiki, really, just another Forum with Information scattered everywhere.

Sure it is his decision and its perfectly fine for him to devalue his pictures and the pages he massively uses them in. It's a good thing, because it makes our wiki look even better.

If Ripster does outstanding pictures, they will stand out and everybody will recognize them as Ripster's work.

No need for watermarks!

ACK, except our wiki needs content!

Instead of posting 2000s of posts, by both the number 1 Cherry and the number 1 IBM experts, it would be appreciated if they filled the gaps in the wiki instead!

Im working on the IBM end of things, albeit slowly due to lack of free time to sit down and spend the needed time to make things look right.

With the exception of the M15, I've been mainly working on more obscure stuff because they take less effort, and in some ways is more rewarding due to lack of proper documentation elsewhere. See Multistation and JX.

There's a wiki here?

^If that's what goes into being the number 1 keyboard expert in the world, I'm regressing back to rubber domes.

How can you regress further? Primordial ooze?

Playing with lego as an adult.

OCN lets me do Legos now. A sign of Moderator Maturity.

However if you want to be a snitch be sure to report my post.

First time i ever have put someone on my ignore list in a forum.
Seems to be a good idea, though:

Good Choice!

Saves aggravation.Did you know Topre spacebars are ABS?

ripster wrote:There's a wiki here?

Yes, but almost empty.

If it weren't for daedalus, me and some few others, it would be absolutely empty.

webwit wrote:Playing with lego as an adult.

I find the Lego pictures entertaining. Maybe we should have a special section for such stuff.

Deskthority.net has The Keyboard Oracle as the gateway to all Keyboard Knowledge.

Geekhack has my sig as the gateway to all Keyboard Science.

It's kinda like Galileo Versus The Pope.

I have contributed to the wiki. I installed it, host it, run the backups.
Unfortunately didn't have time to add content yet, but some day I will.
I believe in it, it will grow. At one point 7bit and daedalus put time and effort into it, and at other points there will be others to contribute.

P.S. Ripster is far from the enlightened status of the Oracle. The Oracle doesn't thread crap. The posts come to the Oracle.

I'm from the American Evangelical school of religion. Knocking on a door near you.

That ending still needs a bit of work ... and it should be a little bit shorter.

You're on my shit list so your criticism can be safely ignored.
