Never said I was. I don't have the facial hair for it, plus I'm a little too tall  :P
Sucks to be you, eh? :P

Also, I'm thinking about adding an Associate's in English to my resume. My spelling is good enough to not trigger spell-check when massively intoxicated, and I'd rather be a lead designer than a lead programmer anyway. Anyone have any thoughts that I can mull over?

Edit: No one saw that!

The beard can be rectified, and as for the height, well, all we need is a sledgehammer, bone saw, and a whole lot of painkillers.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Those beard are admitidly pretty cool-looking. I prefer my height however; I can reach things that my short vertically-challenged friends can not.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I'm already ruminating my rum. That'd be a bad idea to mix them.

I got a bit bored playing KAG and started making dwarves. I started simple, 1:1 scale, and people noticed. When I did a 2:1 but sorta botched it, they wanted to help with the next one. So the end result is a 20 foot tall dwarf, although I couldn't get him to vomit magma :b

Watching an LP tonight/this morning, going to replay Borderlands with a horribly OP character again. Ye gods, the satisfaction garnered of the genocide of mine enemies.

I've gotten no less than three separate comments on my writing ability in the last day, in three completely different realms from three completely different audiences.  This should be motivating me.  It's getting there, I think.


Meanwhile, Dwarf Fortress.  When I first got into DF in 2008, I had a computer with a 2.6 Ghz processor and just one gigabyte of RAM.  And of course, DF itself was a bit less optimized then.  Small forts ran plenty fast, but bogged down with more units.  Later, I had three gigs to fill, but a 2.8 dual-core processor.  So, shoddier overall performance but more tolerable longevity.

I didn't realize until the release that I hadn't really played with my dorfs in a year or more, not coincidentally right about when I got my current computer.  With a beefy reserve of six gigs of RAM, but a 3.2 Ghz quad-core.  Meaning ol' single-threaded Dwarfort.exe is breathing through a 800Khz straw like it's the fucking 90s.  But that's all cool, because Adventure Mode is new again.  I haven't even found a tower yet.

That's odd. I was sure the processor frequency listed always describes any single core, and is not a sum of frequencies.
You sure you've got that right?

I was until right now.  The documentation just says it carries an Intel i3 Core, which was simply described as "3.2Ghz quad-core", but looking in the Device Manager, it would certainly suggest that it's four separate 3.2 processors, which apparently haven't had a driver update since 2006.

I assumed it was 3.2 total, divided into quarters, because the idea of selling a desktop computer with 12.8Ghz of combined processing power seemed ridiculous to me.  Judging by the description and the vintage, I guess you're right.  I wonder why Dwarf Fortress lags so much at embark then - it works fine once it gets going, it just needs like five minutes between hitting Embark and when it actually starts animating.
