I'm a software buy and I haven't inherited the love of woodworking from my father. I do try to appreciate woodworking when it's done by others though. This is easy to do live, when there's an actual completed piece of wooden furniture to look at and touch and smell and try how strong it is. It's more difficult on the internet, here or on http://woodgears.ca/ , for multiple reasons. The products are more impressive in real life than on photos and descriptions. Before the finished product, woodworking is done with all sorts of tricky processes with all kinds of tools, most of which I've never seen done live, and they're sort of hard to understand from descriptions. There's also some of this woodworker jargon describing the procedures and tools, and it's completely different in English: clearly I couldn't have learnt the English words from my father even if I had spent a lot of time with him to actually learn about the things they mean. Many of the words seem to have multiple meanings, even within woodworking, so when I read “The fingers I cut with”, I have to realize that (a) you didn't cut any fingers on your hand, and (b) you didn't cut with the fingers. And apparently, many of the tools or procedures have more than one English word, used by different people, or spelling differences like “vise” versus “vice”.

Sure, you can try, though it if it starts swapping it will get awfully slow. Probably you could run OK with just a single helper. It does require a 64 bit machine though. |

Can I run Playfun with virtual memory? I have only 3GB of RAM and a dual core CPU, and I'd love to give it a try, because I'll be able to run it for like 40 hours straight. |
| |
As of now, I am not noticing anything problematic. |
| |
Try lowercase "game". What error are you getting? |
| |
Thanks for letting me know, and yes it's okay with me! :)
Sadly I can't play cuz I only have iPhones, but maybe I can try it on a friend's. |

Hey there. I used your song "An Interrogation" for my android game. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.NigelMNZ.MelodyRocket
I gave you credit in the description. Hopefully this is ok with you. Good work on the songs! |

Well, I'm still readin' the comments, though I haven't done the somewhat loathsome task of getting escape to compile again on my windows machine, so it's hard to do new releases. Anything needing attention? |
| |
Looks like this place is barren now... could there be at least an update or somethin? |
| |

| |
Thanks you, you creator of mechinal LULZ |
| |
Ah, no, less Benny Hill, more Pink Panther (but also not that one)... |
| |
Is the song you mentioned "Yakety_Sax"? |

Is 11 years the mean waiting time? I wonder if we can get some prominent bathroom mushroom action again.
Also, your old post linked to an fvwm logos page for the word "hideous". I think I'm going to go cheer myself up with some 1990s linux screenshots.
PS, nice job on the logo, it looks great. I hope they eventually let you (or an AI coded by you) design the whole website. |

I remember that logo vividly and this story is awesome. |
| |
I can't take any credit; that was MPA and I think he had at least one forgotten-by-me accomplice. |

Hello! This is the only way I saw that I could get in touch with you. I am trying to unlock a font but I don't have a windows system. If I sent you the file could you convert it for me?! I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT! dhendric25@gmail.com |

Great work Tom. Somebody had to do it - glad it was you :D |
| |
What can I do about these mushrooms growing around my shower and mold in my closets |
| |
Ha, sure. I thought it went really well this year. There were about ~200 people in attendance this year, and ~10 talks. Nothing went on too long, a problem we've had in the past. I did emcee again. Here was my intro talk:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom7/talks/intro2015.swf
I'm always happy to emcee, though I'm hopeful that some young ones will take over for continuity's sake!
The idea about parallel tracks was basically a joke, though there was a talk by some of the organizers that briefly simulated what some of these would be like, which was pretty good. |
| |
Could you maybe tell us a bit more about what the SIGBOVIK conference was like? Were you emceeing? Were the plans about parallel talks in the same room or whatever it was successful? |
