Post by Kelsei A. Taylor »

(06/25 14:07:36) Chat.log started...
(06/25 14:09:34) Kelsei A.T.: ill apologize in advance if im not all here. Calum called in sick, and i've got a headache, so.
(06/25 14:09:43) Kelsei A.T. shrugs
(06/25 14:10:03) Cpt.Jericho: Hi all
(06/25 14:10:04) Baldric The Dung thumbs up
(06/25 14:10:16) Baldric The Dung: Hi Cpt!
(06/25 14:10:16) ALotOf: I feel like having a sunburn from Minkata lol ...
(06/25 14:10:34) Kelsei A.T. waves hello
(06/25 14:10:38) Kelsei A.T.: shorah, captain
(06/25 14:11:04) Cpt.Jericho: Hi Kels
(06/25 14:12:22) NoMore: Teledahn tubbies ...
(06/25 14:12:23) ALotOf: ... gamer buddies ...
(06/25 14:12:35) ALotOf says, "Talk to the hand..."
(06/25 14:12:35) NoMore says, "Talk to the hand..."
(06/25 14:12:43) NoMore starts to laugh
(06/25 14:12:47) ALotOf roars with laughter
(06/25 14:12:55) Cpt.Jericho: those are also called "grubbies"
(06/25 14:13:15) NoMore: Hi ALotOf
(06/25 14:13:19) ALotOf: Hi NoMore
(06/25 14:13:25) Kelsei A.T.: hello you two
(06/25 14:13:59) Kelsei A.T. squints her eyes tiredly at some note cards... mutters something about Calum's handwriting...
(06/25 14:14:45) Cpt.Jericho: Yeah, his handwriting is for aegyptologists
(06/25 14:15:44) NoMore: Reminds me on that one time when Indiahno Jones was in egypt ... that part which he didn't understand about the mummy ...
(06/25 14:16:03) ALotOf: Well, he had a good sprint afterwards lol ...
(06/25 14:16:28) Cpt.Jericho: Nectu. The last word is nectu...
(06/25 14:16:44) NoMore starts to laugh
(06/25 14:16:49) Kelsei A.T. chuckles tiredly
(06/25 14:17:08) Cpt.Jericho: Ok, I'll cut the jokes.
(06/25 14:17:18) Kelsei A.T.: it's probably more the headache than anything. I've been out of it most of today.
(06/25 14:17:29) Kelsei A.T.: i wouldnt even be here but Calum asked me to because he was calling in sick.
(06/25 14:17:54) Cpt.Jericho holds back a lame joke.
(06/25 14:17:56) Kelsei A.T.: between us i think i have the better headspace
(06/25 14:18:12) Kelsei A.T.: somehow
(06/25 14:20:06) Kelsei A.T. yawns
(06/25 14:20:16) Kelsei A.T.: ten minutes
(06/25 14:22:49) ALotOf: making progress with the myst masterpiece edition disassembly - found some code which definitely does only work under Win9x ...
(06/25 14:22:58) Kelsei A.T.: fun.
(06/25 14:23:08) NoMore: what you gonna do when you finished with it, ALotOf ... ?
(06/25 14:23:36) ALotOf: maybe port it to Windows 7 upwards, replace quickt ime with patched ffmpeg ...
(06/25 14:23:58) ALotOf: ... and when I'm funny, even try a native Linux port of it ...
(06/25 14:24:05) NoMore: cool
(06/25 14:24:55) Kelsei A.T.: im going to assume its the headache that made me not understand a good quarter of that.
(06/25 14:25:41) NoMore: I didn't understand much of it because I'm not the techie - ALotOf is the one lol ...
(06/25 14:26:39) ALotOf shrugs
(06/25 14:27:07) Kelsei A.T.: town hall starts in, uh, 3 minutes?
(06/25 14:27:10) Kelsei A.T.: yes, 3 minutes
(06/25 14:27:29) Cpt.Jericho: Isn't there a working version for the Masterpiece edition on GOG and Steam?
(06/25 14:27:34) NoMore: tree minutes
(06/25 14:27:57) NoMore: yes, on gog and steam with ScummVM - it's bundled with the emulator there
(06/25 14:28:47) ALotOf: cit's more like a personal project of mine - keeps one fit in the IT stuff too .,.
(06/25 14:29:11) ALotOf: ... nothing official ...
(06/25 14:29:13) Cpt.Jericho: Mkay
(06/25 14:29:16) Kelsei A.T.: no better reason to have a side project than for learning and for fun.
(06/25 14:29:56) Kelsei A.T.: alright, im going to start the town hall, my head's killing me right now.
(06/25 14:30:01) Cpt.Jericho: Sound to me like reinventing the wheel though.
(06/25 14:30:02) Kelsei A.T.: this is going to be a short one, folks,
(06/25 14:30:17) Kelsei A.T.: only got a few small things that Calum passed onto me...
(06/25 14:30:23) Kelsei A.T. waves some note cards in the air
(06/25 14:30:36) Kelsei A.T.: the first one is...
(06/25 14:31:07) Kelsei A.T.: calum is still working on kirel, but has decided to push along the updated podium in chiso preniv.
(06/25 14:31:14) Kelsei A.T.: so that will be making its way through testing soon...
(06/25 14:31:33) Kelsei A.T.: ...i feel like im missing context or forgot something
(06/25 14:31:43) Kelsei A.T.: what was he doing with the audio podium again?
(06/25 14:31:46) Kelsei A.T. is a bit puzzled...
(06/25 14:31:54) Baldric The Dung: it was too quiet
(06/25 14:31:58) Kelsei A.T.: oh, right. yes,
(06/25 14:32:00) Kelsei A.T.: now i remember
(06/25 14:32:17) NoMore: try moving the slider
(06/25 14:32:19) Kelsei A.T. switches to the next note card...
(06/25 14:32:21) Kelsei A.T.: uhh...
(06/25 14:32:26) Kelsei A.T. sqiunts at the text...
(06/25 14:32:43) Kelsei A.T.: Sameehn will have a book put on the Chiso Preniv Ring and...
(06/25 14:32:53) Kelsei A.T.: Tre'bivdil will be moved to the shelf?
(06/25 14:32:57) Kelsei A.T.: okay, that's nice to hear.
(06/25 14:33:19) Kelsei A.T.: ...are all of these to do with chiso preniv?
(06/25 14:33:27) Kelsei A.T. mutters as she checks the next two note cards...
(06/25 14:33:39) Kelsei A.T.: hmf.
(06/25 14:33:51) Kelsei A.T.: Oh, here's one about Descent!
(06/25 14:33:55) IndustrialSludge: :o
(06/25 14:33:59) Kelsei A.T.: Ami wrote this one, I can read it just fine.
(06/25 14:34:20) Kelsei A.T.: "Sounding Equipment is malfunctioning when use is attempted. Troubleshooting devices again."
(06/25 14:34:27) Kelsei A.T.: ...?
(06/25 14:34:30) Kelsei A.T. frowns
(06/25 14:34:39) Kelsei A.T.: i'm definitely out of the loop on whatever that's about.
(06/25 14:35:22) Kelsei A.T.: "Survey Progress will start once sounding equipment no longer fails to start up within Descent Shaft Area."
(06/25 14:35:32) Kelsei A.T. shrugs
(06/25 14:35:36) NoMore: maybe bad environmental conditions made equipment malfunction ... ? Don't know ...
(06/25 14:35:38) Kelsei A.T.: your guess is as good as mine, folks.
(06/25 14:36:05) Kelsei A.T. goes to the next note card...
(06/25 14:36:18) Kelsei A.T.: Ah, a Historical Lore Book Update!
(06/25 14:36:24) Kelsei A.T.: Chiso Preniv again, of course.
(06/25 14:36:39) ALotOf: maybe a sonic measurement device ...
(06/25 14:37:20) Kelsei A.T.: "CJ Herkeless is providing a write up of the "Preafter" Journey on the surface that Zandi put on in the early 2000s"
(06/25 14:37:33) Cpt.Jericho: I have some military grade bear traps, if you want.
(06/25 14:37:45) Kelsei A.T.: looks like... the plan is to add it to the bookshelf with the Heritage Docs and Activity Books,
(06/25 14:38:18) ALotOf: it would fit in on that shelf well - there's still some space there ...
(06/25 14:38:24) Kelsei A.T.: well, i suppose it's about time that era got written about and archived for historical purposes.
(06/25 14:38:32) Kelsei A.T.: hopefully there arent too many volumes
(06/25 14:38:41) Kelsei A.T.: id hate to have to split things between shelves.
(06/25 14:39:00) Kelsei A.T.: ...no note about how many books though...
(06/25 14:39:02) NoMore flinches
(06/25 14:39:05) Cpt.Jericho: Considering the volume of zandi...
(06/25 14:39:12) Kelsei A.T. changes to the next note card...
(06/25 14:39:35) Kelsei A.T.: Ah, Keith "Tweek" Lord has provided a series of Tapestry banners to be added to the Linking Book Podiums in- Chiso Preniv, again, of course.
(06/25 14:40:03) Kelsei A.T.: Permanent Banners for the Nexus, The Guild of Messengers Pub, and Veelay Linking Books will be on display,
(06/25 14:40:04) Kelsei A.T.: and...
(06/25 14:40:28) Kelsei A.T.: "A rotating series of colorful banners will update with the books on the ring as new Links are added"
(06/25 14:40:56) Kelsei A.T.: ...there's a small scribbled note in here about 'out of order rainbows'?
(06/25 14:41:08) Kelsei A.T.: i have no idea what that's about.
(06/25 14:41:39) Kelsei A.T.: apparently the colors for the banners will indicate something specific about the destination
(06/25 14:41:59) Kelsei A.T.: "Red is a D'ni Written Age, Green is a Garden, Orange is a Cavern Area"
(06/25 14:42:21) Kelsei A.T.: i... can't read the rest. Calum's handwriting got very sloppy.
(06/25 14:42:36) Cpt.Jericho: And yelow is a mellow age?
(06/25 14:42:41) Cpt.Jericho: *yellow
(06/25 14:43:01) Kelsei A.T.: It looks like Yellow is... "dust"...? No, maybe...
(06/25 14:43:04) Kelsei A.T.: "Industrial"?
(06/25 14:43:18) Cpt.Jericho: Huh, and blue is a new one, eh?
(06/25 14:43:31) Kelsei A.T.: I think Blue is tied to "Explorer Written",
(06/25 14:43:40) Kelsei A.T.: it looks like that if I squint
(06/25 14:43:53) Kelsei A.T.: but honestly, Calum's handwriting here is messier than a doctor's.
(06/25 14:43:56) Cpt.Jericho: Close enough to a new one, I guess
(06/25 14:44:22) Kelsei A.T.: I'm sure there'll be an official sign somewhere, even if it's just a cheat sheet for anyone replacing books.
(06/25 14:45:07) Kelsei A.T.: next... Oh, another note on Sameehn, apparently some work is being done to prevent a set of doors from slamming shut when power is cut?
(06/25 14:45:23) Kelsei A.T.: Calum made some absurd remark about "This is D'ni, not a Freddy's"?
(06/25 14:45:33) Kelsei A.T.: i have no idea what he means by that.
(06/25 14:45:34) NoMore: :)
(06/25 14:45:57) Kelsei A.T. goes over the notes one more time...
(06/25 14:46:10) Kelsei A.T.: i... think that's everything?
(06/25 14:46:17) Kelsei A.T.: wait, no
(06/25 14:46:19) Kelsei A.T.: hold on
(06/25 14:46:23) Kelsei A.T.: there's a card that stuck
(06/25 14:46:45) Kelsei A.T. squints at a rather messy card that seems to have had a pen break and spill ink on most of it.
(06/25 14:47:08) Kelsei A.T.: Uh... This is apparently about Pod 12 but I can't read most of it, so I'll try my best...
(06/25 14:47:13) NoMore: bug beats quill
(06/25 14:47:23) Cpt.Jericho: Noloben?
(06/25 14:47:57) Kelsei A.T.: "Maintenance Locks are"... something... "protection of workers" Something... "do not drop if path is blo..." Blocked?
(06/25 14:47:58) ALotOf: I think Pod 12 landed somewhere off Noloben ...
(06/25 14:48:24) Kelsei A.T.: I can't read this.
(06/25 14:48:30) Cpt.Jericho: Never was any good with D'ni numbers.
(06/25 14:48:45) Kelsei A.T.: I think Pod12 is near Payiferen
(06/25 14:48:46) ural: Not a one...
(06/25 14:48:58) Kelsei A.T.: it's... uh... south east to that pod? I think?
(06/25 14:49:01) ural: Low numbers im ok with
(06/25 14:49:06) Kelsei A.T.: my headache is making memory fuzzy
(06/25 14:49:20) Kelsei A.T.: well, regardless, it sounds like Calum has installed something with a 'maintenance lock'
(06/25 14:49:34) Kelsei A.T.: i'd assume it's a warning to not operate something when paths are blocked?
(06/25 14:49:40) Kelsei A.T. shrugs
(06/25 14:50:02) ural: That would make sense
(06/25 14:50:24) NoMore: when it's ome cavern system it sounds reasonable to block off some areas until it's safe to explore, if ever ...
(06/25 14:50:24) Kelsei A.T.: im going to assume that if he's made a note card about it, there'll probably be excessive signage in the area...
(06/25 14:50:26) Kelsei A.T.: where-ever it is.
(06/25 14:50:48) Kelsei A.T.: i havent been to that lagoon area in... a while. so. i have no idea what he's done there since i was last there.
(06/25 14:51:12) Cpt.Jericho: Probably made a mess, knowing him.
(06/25 14:51:22) Kelsei A.T.: i can only imagine.
(06/25 14:51:51) Kelsei A.T.: i dont see anything else.
(06/25 14:51:58) Kelsei A.T.: ill do a quick question round then call it a meeting
(06/25 14:52:01) Kelsei A.T.: any questions?
(06/25 14:52:28) Cpt.Jericho: Can I put some beartraps into the explorers emporium?
(06/25 14:52:38) Kelsei A.T.: im going to say no, that's not a good idea.
(06/25 14:52:39) Cpt.Jericho: They seem to have a pest problem in the basment.
(06/25 14:52:39) ural: Anything new from tweek in near future?
(06/25 14:52:48) Kelsei A.T.: someone already spilled something on the floors, last i heard.
(06/25 14:52:58) Kelsei A.T.: uhhh, besides the tapestries in chiso?
(06/25 14:53:01) ALotOf: "an y questions?" is usually a good way to silence a babbling crowd ... :D
(06/25 14:53:02) Kelsei A.T. checks her KI real quick...
(06/25 14:53:07) Cpt.Jericho: You HAVE seen the footprints there?
(06/25 14:53:28) Kelsei A.T.: im not seeing anything immediately on the docket from tweek, ural.
(06/25 14:53:29) ural: Everyone has...
(06/25 14:53:48) Kelsei A.T.: i saw them, yes
(06/25 14:54:13) Kelsei A.T.: but if Runa'mei hasn't cited any issues, i dont think whatever left them is still in the area.
(06/25 14:54:15) Cpt.Jericho: Those look like rodents of enormous size
(06/25 14:54:36) Kelsei A.T.: then again, who knows.
(06/25 14:54:53) Kelsei A.T.: but bear traps would probably be ill advised given explorer foot traffic,
(06/25 14:54:57) Kelsei A.T.: ...use caution?
(06/25 14:54:58) Cpt.Jericho: We need a bigger boa... I mean beartrap.
(06/25 14:54:59) Kelsei A.T. shrugs
(06/25 14:55:09) Kelsei A.T.: any more questions?
(06/25 14:55:12) Kelsei A.T.: last call.
(06/25 14:55:30) ALotOf: no questions.
(06/25 14:55:53) ALotOf: we need a Chiso XP desktop wallpaper :)
(06/25 14:55:53) Baldric The Dung: Thanks kelsei :)
(06/25 14:55:55) Kelsei A.T.: okay, im gonna call it then. have a lovely day everyone, and thanks for coming.

(06/25 14:56:19) ural claps his hands
(06/25 14:56:20) Kelsei A.T.: now if youll excuse me, i have a dinner and a long nap ahead of me.
(06/25 14:56:21) Monterey Jack claps his hands
(06/25 14:56:22) uru348 thanks you very much!

Thanks for the update. I wasn't able to attend, dang it. Color coded banners for the Chiso books will be cool!

Looking forward to eventual Kirel and Descent news in the future
