<Snogpitch> Howdy iViper
<iViper> ah now it's cookin in here
<iViper> hi ya snog
<lordronin> Not since he and I had worde over the upchug debt last night.
<LordNLptp> hmm can you let him know that I'm interested in that unix source
+thing he mentioned a while back?
* Harlock not touchin that one
<Village_16> Weirdwolf emailed me this morning
<lordronin> Don't know LordNLptp, guess at the moment he isn't speaking to me.
+As I did a lot of e-mail replies to him and nothing has come back yet.
<Village_16> something over the original transaction was a personal one
+between the old president and #30 and not the group
<PhotoJim> I forgot to check if you guys were chatting.  I'm on the west coast
+this week and it isn't even suppertime yet. :)
<Snogpitch> lordronin, btw, Six gave me a copy of the pdf of your newsletter 
<antares51> LR!
<Snogpitch> PhotoJim, that's why you should use @time
<PhotoJim> @time
<PhotoJim> apparently that's not how I should use it :)
<lordronin> Acutally #16 it was for that group from their prez to #30.
<PhotoJim> I chat via my router at home, so it thinks it's a different time
+than it is here anyway.
<lordronin> Snogpitch, opinion of what came out this attempt  on the
+newsletter for being made primaraily in Geos?
<Snogpitch> Some of the fonts did not look right to me, but then again, I didn't have a
+paper copy of an old newsletter to compare it to
<antares51> LR!
<Snogpitch> Six gets to keep all of those
<lordronin> Hoi antares51!!
<antares51> How's the roof?
<lordronin> Snogpitch, well the main body is times roman at 14 point. But in
+the converting it does not do well with the Outline or itallics style. Most
+of the fonts I have used in about a dozen so far, have come out close to what
+they would look like in the paper newsletter.
<BeeMan> LR have you talk to Robert B. , I try to call him
<antares51> I say, is your roof fixed yet LR?
<lordronin> I hope soon to be able to send out paper again. Did a colour test
+on the last one. Oh yeah must let Six know, got some more submissions on the
+way. Well almost ready to send to him. In Geos of course
<lordronin> antares51, bit of a sore subject right now. They came by couple
+weeks back 9:30am on a sunday and started the tera off.
<antares51> Ok.
<lordronin> Well at this moment the job is half done. They had to do a mess of
+rot replacement. Want to get paid, owner, or the one at least that has the
+insurance isn't going to pay till job is done.
<lordronin> So I sat this last week with the satellite disk off and no tely to
+watch. Had it back up to day on just tar paper and plywood.
<Snogpitch> ya,  he said he's digging out his printer to hook it up so he can do it
+right
<lordronin> BeeMan not seen robert for over a week. Not in the regular other
+channel either right now.
<lordronin> Well he did say format of choice! {VBESG}
<Harlock> lordronin, stick the sat dish on a fence post in the yard, works
+good for mine
<wildstar> hello lordronin
<lordronin> I might get him back into Geos work with this, or force others in
+the 4C-er to write instead of me {LOL}
<antares51> We've had a lot of rain here. Our problem isn't the roof, it's the
+basement. When I moved in we had an indoor pool with a water fountain.
<antares51> It's dry now.
* Harlock is lucky not to have that problem, computer stuph's in the basement
<Snogpitch> Well, Six is no longer vice-president, but he did take librarian now
<Snogpitch> nobody wanted the president job
<lordronin> antares, had a place like that, indoor swimming pool and water
+fountain. As an undisclosed non  optional extra.
<antares51> I had to replace a clamp on the sump-pump outlet.
<lordronin> Oh who got the VP job?
<wildstar> Same at ACUG, IIRC
<Snogpitch> Dragos is now VP
<antares51> I got lots of computer room either in my bedroom or in the
+double-garage.

<lordronin> Oh it was the original man that did the voice as well.
<Harlock> yeah
<lordronin> Man a pic of that would be greaat to see.
<GurtyGurt> http://www.asciimation.co.nz/tardis/index.html
<GurtyGurt> that's what I'm thinking of
<Harlock> just at the point when the tardis fades out again and the new k9
+made his appearance
<Harlock> John leeson I think his name was, k9 voice
<lordronin> Yeah IIRC that is the name 
<Harlock> curious to see what he looks like
<lordronin> Thanks GurtyGurt, taht was interesting.
<Harlock> same thing for douglas rain
<Harlock> yes was cool to see that gurtygurt
<lordronin> Not image of him that I remember on any of the DVDs I rented.
<Harlock> can't even get the doctor who for rental here
<Harlock> hafta go into toronto to buy them
<lordronin> BBC America ahd the sets at a not so decent price. Seen them on
+ebay and Amazon. I rent them from netfick
<Harlock> yeah and most tv series on dvd are very expensive anyways
<Harlock> a friend of mine wanted the complete xfiles set, until he found out
+it'd cost nearly as much as a 42 inch tv
<GurtyGurt> the sad thing about doctor who is, the c64 conversion of the bbc
+game is probably still the best doctor who game to date!
<Harlock> I've got that one, I remember seeing it when it came out
<Harlock> I really should take the time to play it through to the end
<GurtyGurt> it's waaaaay too hard, hah
<Harlock> been over 20 years since I played it much
<Harlock> I'm infamous for starting into games and taking forever to finish
<lordronin> That is one game that I didn't know about. Is it around someplace
+for DL?
<Harlock> still havent finished the ultimas
<GurtyGurt> if I could program I could probably make a really awesome doctor
+who game by making a platformer, every level is based on one storyline, every
+time you die you regenerate, use basic JSW/MotR style graphics, some puzzle
+solving...
<Harlock> lemme look LR
<GurtyGurt> dr who and the mines of terror
<GurtyGurt> not to be confused with dalek attack
<lordronin> I finsished Poll of Radiance. Took three weeks 6 hours a day 6
+days a wek. Played it in the shop. Got stuck in the next one Curse, and
+haven't gone back yet. Never got far in the ultimas, and got very lost in
+Bards Tale.
<lordronin> Dalek Attack? OK there is another one I am interested in
<GurtyGurt> dalek attack is really bad, but if you have to play it, try the
+amiga version, with cheats
<Harlock>
+http://www.gamebase64.com/search.php?f=0&t=0&s=doctor+who&b=Go%21&d=18&h=1&a=0
+
<Harlock> theres doctor who  & mines of terror
<lordronin> Hey GurtyGurt, I know aht you mean, if I could programme, I'd have
+multi disk sets of RPG games.
<GurtyGurt> http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=1927&d=18&h=0
<Harlock> LR you ran computershop?
<Village_16> He ran a game shop
<GurtyGurt> dalek attack starts with a sewer level where you're on a flying
+thing, and it's really hard...at least if you cheat you can get past it to
+the real game!
<Harlock> theres idea for arcade game
<Harlock> like berzerk but with DW villains, daleks, cybermen, sontarans
<GurtyGurt> it's been done
<Harlock> never seen it
<GurtyGurt> there's even a version on amiga called 'dr. who' by the person who
+made boppin'
<Snogpitch> Well folks, time for me to call it a nite
<GurtyGurt> plus the second player plays a random assistant, and you can get
+dumb things like adric, hah
<lordronin> Thanks guys, if I did it right just got that one.
<lordronin> Harlock, mostly RPG and related games. But do have some C= and
+AMiga things for sale.
<lordronin> BCNU Snogpitch
<Harlock> later snogpitch
<Harlock> adric the math geek
<Harlock> one of the few to get toasted
<GurtyGurt> yeah, it's funny because he has a habit of saying "I have a badge
+for mathematic excellence!" right before he dies
<Harlock> he should've had a badge of villain repulsion
<Harlock> Tegan was one who really annoyed me
<GurtyGurt> same, and she's supposed to be from the same city I'm from!
<Snogpitch> Catch y'all next weekend.
<Snogpitch> niters.
