Yeah seriously! And I was not desperate for a cup, I just thought it would be funny to stick my arm out of the melty cardboard hole at the water station. FACT CHECK |

"fake icing"
..."fake"
If only they had realized that costume contained actual cake. |

Sophomore dance major Michelle Happ commented on the runners in crazy outfits at this year’s event.
“I saw a guy in a shark costume running, and another guy dressed up as a robot,” Happ said.
As she was speaking, a man wearing a homemade cake outfit, made out of cardboard that hung heavily around his shoulders, came jogging up to the students, desperately reaching out for a cup. His fake icing dripped on the asphalt as he ran by.

FYI, spoons and I are crying laughing reading this. So, thanks? <3 kc |

I was just remarking on this same thing earlier today! "ANOTHER Tom Murphy..." |

You were mentioned before former Mayor Tom Murphy. I think that makes you the real Tom Murphy. |

La-Mulana was good, and I don't think you'll regret the suffering if you like that kind of game (it's an odd one, though). The difficulty curve is weird; definitely the first part of the game was a turn-off for me and I wouldn't have continued if not for the fact that the game is pretty legendary. But I think part of that is just getting used to the totally punishing controls and the way the game presents itself, and that once you get used to it, it's totally fine (the controls are actually very precise, but it's almost like a puzzler at times). Boss fights were probably the hardest part, but fair. If you do undertake it, I recommend having a low threshold for looking at a guide. Probably almost nobody has beat that game without some hints; several puzzles are extremely obscure, to the point of seeming unfair by modern standards. |

Most of my video game time is being absorbed by MGSV & Bloodborne right now, but I really want to get back into Necrodancer & La Mulana. How did you find the difficulty curve of La Mulana? Seemed really daunting to me starting out, but I only played an hour of it or so. |

Ha, awesome. It really is a great mousepad, though mine is entering "but this is the only wallet I've ever owned!!" territory for sure. |

I know nothing about wood but that Max Payne mousepad is on point. I think I had mine for 10 years? |

jonas: Sorry! Software is still my main thing, I just need to get away from the computer sometimes. A long-term project is coming closer to paying off in software land. The ICFP contest was fun, as usual, though I'm noticing my ability to stay up late every night for the 72 hours is waning as I get old! We didn't do that well in the end, but our solution worked and we discovered almost all the power words (this turned out to be the most fun part, I think?).
Vox: Ha, totally. I've already started on a project for someone, and have been both admiring nice work when I see it and outing fakes! Not only am I predisposed to projects, my dad also loved to make furniture for our old converted-barn house, so it's not hard to see where I get the aesthetic from.
Harry: Excellent post. How unlike me to have never posted lyrics for that song to the internet! Happy to be in the company of Stephenson with that rare bigraph though. |

The uncanny AI results tantalized. Relational meanings piqued from the valleys of nebulous feeling non-sequiturs. From another vector, Livingstone's Stanley, spurred by lighthearted conviviality, and a desire to make things more interesting, employed an creative assosiative construct, hacking through his side of the possibilian jungle. An identity was presumed to emerge somewhere at the intersection.
Listening to a custom concert from 2009, uplifted by examples of youthful exuberance and wit. Waffled, then sallied, duckduck went, hoping to find the lyrical, by way of proximal, coincidental instances of the two phrases, "smell of coal", and "barrel roll". There were only two results, here in context:
Cryptonomicon. Neal Stephenson.
There is a stronger than usual smell of coal, and a good deal of noise coming from not
far away. Waterhouse looks up the line and discovers a heavy industrial works unfurled
across the many sidings. He stands and stares for a couple of minutes, as his train pulls
away, headed for points north, and sees that they are in the business of repairing steam
locomotives here at Bletchley Depot.
"You know how they have different lanes?"
"I guess so," Randy said. A parallelpiped of seared tuna did a barrel roll in his gullet. He
felt a perverse craving for a double ice-cream cone.
Queen of the Demonweb Pits. Paul Kidd.
"Oh, all right! I'll try to roll it slower or something. Maybe we should make it smell of coal?" Escalla looked over at her friends. "Have you guys figured out what that map means yet?"
The girl turned a barrel roll in midair, flying with her back to the vast river. "Now come on! Let's get this spider bitch squashed flat so we can go home and have some fun!"
Naturally, that dovetailed, or finger jointed nicely with seeing your new post showcasing your speaker stands. I'm no woodworking expert, but them joints appear way more pronoia than paranoia, and the strength and finish, absolutely more Mudita than Shadenfreude. Beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing. IMHO, when jiggery is fun, then autobespoke is destiny. :) |

So what's your opinion of the ICFP contest?

You will also want to make furniture and wood things for others. You will need somewhere for your early rev's to go when you do the update. Develop a "market" of wood lovers.
You are likely already looking at wood furniture and fixtures - your own an others' - with that eye:
"Hmmm. Is that a rising dovetail?"
"Looks real, but I think I see by the end grain mitre it's a mock dovetail! Wow!"
"Look at those tenons!"
"I'd plane and sand that bit there."
"Just a little work and that would be perfect."
"When I make my trestle table..."
From my own experience: I've found endless happiness in making and then giving pieces to appreciative souls who also love wood.
It's madness, but an ecstatic kindly species of the affliction.
Glad to see you've caught it. |

Excellent! Fine work.
Well, you didn't listen to that little voice. ...Or to my previous warning.
Now, it's too late.
Recovery at this stage, especially given your life demographics, has a vanishingly small probability, less than meth or heroin. You either are or will be a woodworking addict. Probably latent genetic and psychological predisposition just waiting for proper exposure to manifest.
Welcome to the brotherhood (fellowship?) of wood.
Happy making! |

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. |
