Bah! Don't mention WB3.5 to me > hehehe I'm trying to 'fiddle' my work pc - because of our wonderful firewall neither CM or SDC will connect without a NAT, so I'm trying a work around by downloading to backup at home then restoring at work. If that doesn't work...

/me hates the new firewall - stops me running Seti too

email me your work email address and I can email you the file that will work.

Museum Plans Exhibit on Chocolate

NEW YORK - The dinosaurs and dioramas at the American Museum of Natural History will get some edible company when an exhibit on chocolate opens next week.

To whet appetites for the exhibit, museum officials unveiled chocolate sculptures of animals and artifacts concocted by New York pastry chefs on Tuesday.

"Christopher Columbus discovered a canoe that was filled with cocoa beans," said Bill Yosses of Citarella, displaying his creation, a Mayan pyramid made of chocolate and adorned with gold leaf and organic food coloring. "And his written quote is that they were so precious that if one of them fell, the Indians picked them up as if an eye had fallen out."

Other chocolate sculptures that will join the larger exhibit on the history, ecology and economics of the cocoa bean include reptiles, African artifacts and an Amazonian feather headdress.

"Chocolate" will be at the museum from June 14 to Sept. 7, and there will be lectures, tastings and other activities in conjunction with it.

The exhibit was developed by the Field Museum in Chicago.

Bit far to travel though.

/me might make the effort for a chocolate dinosaur

/me wished he was able to go the Exhibition on Chocolate, but needs to cross at least an ocean...

/me adjusts the parasol, closes his eyes again and dreams of visiting the exhibition with all of us.

Thanks, mrs Blindbat!

A chocolate Piramid may just have the size I like.

Why worry. We have a whole planet made of chocolate

MadIce thinks feline is a genius and watches his progression with nods, ooohs and aaahs (at the correct moment of course)

/me *raspberry* *giggles*
flattery like that will get you an entry in my new plugin!

i am trying to work out how a "spanks and hugs calculator" DX plugin would work anyone with suggestions feel free to post them here

MadIce, with regard to the SET_TEXT games with DX, last night i wrote the ultimate debug tool for DX plugins!

the function:
feline_diary(char *pszText, ...)

takes a printf argument list, then simply appends the text to a file
basic, but this is how i debug all my programs at work, since we don't really have any fancy debug tools.

so, after scattering some feline_diary calls through my plugin, i satisfied myself that given i have no examples to work from, my plugin was written correctly

this morning i found there is a new DX build to try! i downloaded it, and now my plugin works!!!

now "all" i need to do is to wrap up this plugin, and the first version will be ready

which does raise an interesting question. what is the policy on getting DX plugin's vetted before uploading them here? most of the code isn't mine, since i used one of the sample plugin's as a template.

also, since i have been promoted to the heady heights of Journeyman, my uploads will be automatically approved. /me doesn't want to be seen to be abusing this

so, anyone know which Admin i should get to review my plugin once i have polished it a bit?

MadIce - Isn't that the image of a perfect victim?

/me *radiates total and pure innocence*
/me finds that carrying these signs around is hard work
/me drops the signs in a nice neat pile next to MadIce....

/me *sigh*
like MadIce and fuzzy logic, i am a long way from there

/me wonders if they have a website?
at lease we could see pictures of the models

actually, this has inspired me!
/me is planning on a life size chocolate statue, showing "dance in motion"
so, all i need are some people who can dance to help...
fuzzy logic and JavaBean sound ideal!

all i need is for them to strike a nice pose, then i can cover them in chocolate!!!

MadIce, with regard to the SET_TEXT games with DX, last night i wrote the ultimate debug tool for DX plugins!

I am using the same technique for years. Mine is called Debug(). And I also have a function called SetDebugLevel() and SupportsDebugLevel() so you can write code like:

if(SupportsDebugLevel(debug_medium)) StealFelinesLeetCode();

It accepts an enum {debug_Off,debug_Minimum,debug_Medium,debug_Maximum};

You can also write macros to ensure such code is never run in a release build.

this morning i found there is a new DX build to try! i downloaded it, and now my plugin works!!!

Party!

If it is based on the sample plugin then don't worry. It was intended for that purpose, OK?

Mr Journeyman, I would suggest you ask some people you know here to test it on various flavors of Windows. Ask the testers to make a skin for it. A lot of people enjoy doing that. You'll see. Then when everyone is satisfied upload it. You are the Journeyman, so T-man & the Admins will trust your judgement. If you cannot find enough testers here then try IRC.

If I'm going to help you do realize the chocolate statue would end up with nibble marks...

...JavaBean would probably end up with nibble marks too /me ***innocent expression***

only 109 until 9,000..... who wants to bet that I will miss the running for this one, too?

 

Hey, Fuzzy, did that file for 3.51 yesterday work out OK for ya'?

108 now No, we are not going for it from this far out. The last one was 100+ posts in less than an hour. Maybe tomorrow...

Yes thanks, the 3.51 file worked perfectly

only 105 now...and your point is?

Oh, I forgot to mention, June 1st was my 8 year anniversary at Stardock! 

104 - and the board is so slow at loading the 9000th is going to be pot luck.

KG: June 1st was my 8 year anniversary at Stardock!


A couple of weeks for me to reach 11 years - aaaagh! You'd get a shorter sentence for murder

Way to hang in there KarmaGirl!!!

I have heard and seen a very small portion of what you do and what you have to put up with. The fact that you are still here is a testament to your work ethic. I hope you feel very good about this accomplishment. Your parents should be proud too

Oh, I forgot to mention, June 1st was my 8 year anniversary at Stardock!
