Welcome to yet another summary! Once more, it's on a Sunday! Yay! There were a few hangovers from last week before (void) shut up shop almost completely over the holiday weekend. Richard Clamp looked at the phrase 'the gripping hand', Todd Larason followed up on adaptive paper stuff, and there was a short thread on the startup.com movie- Simon Wistow provided a linklist but Todd (again already!) thought it appeared more sympathetic. http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010521/039057.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010521/039060.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010521/039088.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010521/039091.html This was another thread dominated by a couple of giant all-encompassing threads. Ashley Pomeroy started one by talking about Platoon, and later Stanley Kubrick; Simon Wistow added military details, and The Texan told us all about firearms. Chris Devers added the religious reading. http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039107.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039128.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039111.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039136.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039159.html Meanwhile Duncan was apologising for missing the Hacksploitation day and asking for info on Belgrade. Ashley berated Harry Knowles, Simons Batistoni and Wistow and Patrik Nordebo added even more ideas for films, and Alex Robinson added ideas for Belgrade. There was a lot of other talk about films, especially those based on comics, too. http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039154.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039172.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039180.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039186.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039189.html Rant of the week was probably Simon Batistoni's post about the Viet Cong, the use of their name and related images on T-shirts, and general Nathan-ness. Alex Robinson gave a long and typically URLed reply, and Replicant took umbrage with the daddy of them all, the Che t-shirt. http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039149.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039183.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039202.html Robert Shiels wanted to turn his photos into Video CDs. As a source of digitised photos from analogue film, Boots was panned (by Dave Cross, who's used it) and Fotango was praised (although by Ian Malpass, not by Mike Jarvis, who knows an ex-(void)er there). A little bit of Video CD authoring software was found (by me, via Google). http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039263.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039308.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039294.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039297.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039267.html Batistoni started another thread, inspired by the poster for Blow; Alex Robinson wondered who made paintings of currency, and Lee Maguire answered, and Ian Malpass talked about copyright. http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039198.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039203.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039207.html Back on the ever-mutating Platoon thread, Chris Devers talked about NTSC and PAL videos, leading to a dicsussion (spurred by Ashley) on what needed to be shipped UK->US. Wistow suggested what we should impose, and Todd Larason mentioned some things he'd like to see, and spurred discussion both on delivery (David Cantrell knows about satellites) and content (Alex Robinson and Ashley Pomeroy critiqued comedy). http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039214.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039216.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039257.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039238.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039239.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039246.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039274.html Harl wanted a battery-powered handheld with a keyboard. Patrik Nordebo priced Psions and Ashley suggested the Atari Portfolio. Moving on to Palm development, Robin Houston suggested cross-compiling with GCC, while Patrik (again) suggested a raft of languages. Chris Devers pointed out Perl was not one of them. http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039248.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039250.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039255.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039262.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039265.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010528/039280.html Links of the week come from Simon Wistow, Ashley Pomeroy and Alex Robinson. http://www.mtl.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~takeo/teddy/teddy/teddy.html http://www.tintin.be/Traductions/traductions_fr.htm http://www.ashleypomeroy.com/images/cobrafront.jpg http://www.boeing.com/news/feature/concept/ Next week, something different, perhaps. |
