[21:26] I pulled over in Middletown on my way home and took a nap in Meijer's parking lot [21:26] finally selected a microcontroller, and an input buffer [21:26] yay! [21:27] Do you have the hardware already, or just shopping for it? [21:28] I have the AL250 chips & the genlock. The rest is just support stuff. I needed to select a PIC with the right set of features [21:29] I am using the PIC's PWM as the genlock's external divider = less parts. I might need to buffer the PIC's output to meet the genlock's input rise time [21:29] what's the AL250? [21:29] luckily I have tons of single gate buffers [21:30] The AL250 is a chip made by Averlogic that accomplishes the main task, buffering and scan doubling NTSC/PAL digital video.

[22:16] I don't think the SCPU is nessessary [22:16] Well, on the positive side, you'll have an easier time figuring out when you want to demo....all the choice times should be snatched up by the time you arrive :) [22:17] Hey you guys think tht is bad. Try being a dealer and making it to the room at 9am on Saturday, after going to all the room parties, seeing the pretty girls and enjoying the libations the night before.

I don't belive that the DL version of GEOs can recognise it. [22:19] oops Wheels I mean [22:19] could be worth a try [22:19] PhotoJim, just dont go up on Mt. Royal at night :P [22:19] Might make your GeoCalc and your article faster to create and save. [22:19] :) duly noted [22:20] lol [22:20] I loved my Ramlink with Geos :) [22:20] #16: BTW; we will be starting work soon with the handy scanner to make images for upcoming disk intro screens. Should I plan a day to teach the use of it and the Geos Tools? [22:21] I could have a lot of things to say, so go ahead it can be useful for your work as well [22:21] By that I mean show the use of the handy scanner, and all the tools in Geos used to make the image for the screen. As well in that aspect how to size for a photo album. Such as the missing images from High Colonies. [22:21] sometime, I would not know when [22:22] I'll bring it down in a few days. As for the lesson stuff. We would make it for a time and date that fits all schedules. PArt of the stuff down during the week for the ACUG.

[22:24] I've been to Ottawa, but not in a very long time. [22:24] Ottawa is not very far from Montreal. [22:25] #16: That the one you were doing with the type in book IIRC?

[22:28] <^Oldbit> Was thinking he was going to send me a commvex update soon... [22:28] #16; null perspiration chummer. if it is missing from the shop. I have a second copy in the freaks private library. [22:29] C1 is doing ok, still sitting on the shelf waiting for the next C64 core update [22:29] A will be for any or All Commodore Users Group [22:30] I have a lot of stuff on my C128D [22:30] I still lean to Absolutely or Anything myself. Options and suggestions are already in the GeoWrite doc for next newsletter. All suggestions are welcome. [22:31] couldn't find a strip club in cincinnati, however Kentucky they are starting to get scarce there too [22:31] * James_M (~james@adsl-75-3-149-31.dsl.chcgil.sbcglobal.net) has left #c64friends [22:31] Including the "All Commodore Users Group" for the ACUG. Once tht is finalised we can move deeper into the non profit status research. [22:31] Snogpitch: come to Astoria Ore. Got one over a C= shop. [22:32] * the_woz (The_WOZ@190.49.215.100) has left #c64friends [22:32] Last one I went to, was near Wheeling WV [22:32] Best one I went to was in Da Nang [22:32] Modesty and the fear of being banned, forbid me to go any further in detail [22:33] perv!! :) [22:33] makes you wonder if there is a C= club under the Da Nang club now... [22:33] too much into detail here, I have a few stories myself [22:34] Moloch: Man thou hst not read my Operation Red Cat stories. then there would be no question as to me being a perv. [22:34] Were those in the newsletter? [22:34] #16: Yeah you were at the Cat Box. I was in Nam for three years. [22:35] Either way there are some interesting no "G" rating stories we can tell. [22:35] my stories involve near FT Carson, CO [22:36] Mine are more over seas in Nam and Thailand. Though I have a few from the old British Raj as well. [22:36] Snogpitch, the red cat stories are on the club disks [22:37] Guess I'll have to check one of those out sometime.... [22:37] OK back on topic. There is a request to me through RobertB for e-test of dox for the three Phantsy games. Any one have or know where they might exist? [22:38] walkthrus or dox? [22:38] In truth, Red Cat was considered to "mature" for Load Star. Though the idea was requested by Rev. Dave. Not a single word that the FCC would bust you for. I might hesitate to add. [22:39] Rev Dave? wonder if he made some sermons on the subject... [22:39] Snogpitch: According to what I was told. The man that contwacted Robert needs the dox. Has factory disks, But no dox to play the games. All I have is #1 out of the three. I'd have to write down the data for an e-mail for him on that one. [22:39] SnogPitch, my next question was, are you going to upgrade it. [22:39] SnogPitch, I think your the only one who actually owns a c1. [22:40] I'm not intrested in the CPC cores and that's where all the latest advances have come from [22:41] Well he asked for RPG related stories/novellas to print. Red Cat is clean as per ratings it would get at worse a pg-13. Never got a rejection notice for what I sent him. Crude work was done to make it into a pulp fiction disk mag. An idea we are working upon.

[22:42] Howdy JLawless [22:42] Snog. [22:43] #16: do you know of a place to score up a cheap Vid camera and or one that uses the 3 1/2" disks for digital photos? that would help in our projected projects. [22:44] Or on on way to Jims we need to stop in Wash at the hock shops? [22:44] I do not know of any at this time, i would imagine ebay is a good place to start [22:44] Can't do the C= headed goddess scene for that project without the vid camera. [22:45] the floppy drive cameras are probably hard to find new [22:45] we would have to finf some in longview or vancouver [22:45] * MacbthPSW (~mac_erd@dynamic-216-26-204-240.tbaytel.net) has joined #c64friends [22:45] Was thinking of eBay as an alternative. Hoping for something local. Still steamed at being burned on that printer on ebay. [22:45] * MacbthPSW is now known as RobinH [22:46] <^Oldbit> Hi Robin [22:46] * snuffles is now known as bogax [22:46] Yeah they didn't seem to last too long on the market. I need either one with a focal length of at lest 200 for miniature shots. [22:46] hello Mac [22:46] Hoi RobinH [22:46] hey Oldbit, LR, bogax, all :) [22:47] <^Oldbit> Any chance of you getting to C4 this year? [22:47] it may take some time to find one [22:47] Last couple that I used could not give detail in Computer Eyes for the vid camera of 25mm scale <1" = 6'> scale images tht I was using [22:48] * Trinary (jmayo@shima.xware.cx) has joined #c64friends [22:48] Well, if I go to ebay. The problem is not knowing exactly by name or title what i am looking for, [22:48] Hoi Trinary [22:48] Oldbit: Doesn't look like it - I'm going to the Midwest Gaming Classic in WI that weekend (and it's a lot closer drive for me too) [22:48] Imean I' great with C= stuff and console games. Past that I am in a void. [22:48] possibly do a general search first [22:49] I wish I could, it would just take a lot more time or money to go to C4 [22:49] Imay need your assit in selefting the right search words. That sems to be my major hang up. [22:49] Scott Adams would be a neat person to meet [22:49] I know [22:50] That name rings a loud bell. What would I know him from/about? [22:50] yup, Scott Adams, and the AtariAge guys will be there (I hang out on that forum a lot) [22:50] hay.. [22:50] hichikers series [22:50] haha, not quite :) [22:51] Scott Adams did the adventure series carts for the Vic20 [22:51] No that was the late Douglas Adams [22:51] there's Scott Adams the Dilbert creator, but that's not the right guy either [22:51] oh thats righ, dilbert [22:51] haha, strike 2 :) [22:51] * ^Oldbit blinks [22:51] i remember that there was some place doing a series of videos (and they had some segments that had commodore stuff in it) [22:51] any help with finding the link? [22:51] * LordRonin has his third pan galactic gargle blaster [22:51] http://www.msadams.com/ [22:51] better get the both of them anyway [22:51] Sorry, that's the link to Scott Adams' home page. [22:53] Anyway, yeah, like Snogpitch was starting to say, Scott Adams did a huge number of adventure games in the early days of personal computers, for many platforms [22:53] I don't blame you Robin, for me, the Midwest Gaming Classic is a bit far to go...probably wouldn't make it even if I had nothing planned [22:53] late here so I'm off. good to see you guys. [22:53] #16: do you have any conceptualisation of the length of your report this time around? [22:53] I'll probably heck in later in the week [22:53] Pirate Adventure on TI-99/4A memories... [22:53] check [22:53] BCNU PhotoJim [22:53] he had perhaps the first big company making computer games [22:53] with many employees and stuff [22:53] I imagine about a page or two [22:53] My girlfriend loved that series of games, bought a couple carts for my machine :) [22:54] * PhotoJim is now known as PJimAFK [22:54] She played it the whole day I was at work [22:55] Chicago is a ~12 hour drive for me, and that's about the limit of what I can drive each way for a weekend trip [22:55] Pirate, that reminds me of last years OryCon. Ther is a big fan Pirate thing happening in that circle. The asked me at the room party if I was a pirate. So I said something along the lines of a T&S editor at track 18, well they let me into the party, I could relate what the girls were wearing. But I'd get banned. [22:55] the MGC is a couple hours closer [22:56] * Fuzz-PSW thinks Robin should go to the Toronto expo again.. :) [22:56] #16: OK are we talkin Commodore NLQ font at 10 point? [22:56] I'd like to, but that ended up costing me quite a bit of $$ in 2004 [22:57] I'm trying to work out the penultimate page cout for next issue of The Village Green. [22:57] standard c= font? [22:57] * JLawless (JLawless@dialup-4.228.210.230.Dial1.Denver1.Level3.net) has left #c64friends [22:57]
