You can't beat an omnimover for capacity. Unless you're Pirates of the Caribbean. But also, short lines for Astro Blasters are a relatively recent development that came about with the removal of the fastpass system. Before that, you could easily wait 30-45 minutes for it.

You're overpaying for the golden gate bridge. Time to get Fastrak

Engage cheese:

Fun fact, the late Paul Frees (aka your host, your ghost host) was also the voice of Boris on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. Also, Thurl Ravenscroft, the bass singer in the group of singing busts in the graveyard, was also Tony the Tiger. Also proud owner of the award for best name.

I... suspect you're going to have a hard time winning that argument here

Making banana bread tonight. Because I've got some overripe bananas. My go-to recipe for years has been the Joy of Cooking one. Apart from a weird mixing order, it's not especially inventive, but it is bulletproof: http://www.tastebook.com/recipes/2520062-Banana-Bread-The-Joy-of-Cooking-?full_recipe=true My only real change is to toast the walnuts, because what kind of monster bakes with untoasted nuts?

man, in hindsight, I should have had you ship the jake portrait to me, and then I could have left it, with no mailing label, on his doorstep.

Idle Thumbs 142: Unmasking the Brain Burglar
tabacco replied to Jake's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
I haven't listened to the cast yet, but Chris recommended this to me at one point years ago and I found it an excellent starting point: http://www.amazon.com/Unity-Development-Example-Beginners-Guide/dp/1849695261/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390864174&sr=8-1&keywords=game+programming+by+example+unity&tag=idlthu-20 (This is the newer edition, obviously, since 4.x didn't exist a couple of years ago ) I was going to swap out the blog tracker on the front page with a twitch tracker, but... -
Idle Thumbs 140: The Customer's Always An Asshole
tabacco replied to Jake's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
I had a plan for this, and then sort of ran out of steam to follow through on it. I should pick that up again at some point. -
The campo santo office is an office, so assuming it turns up during businessey hours (and I don't know why it shouldn't) then someone should be there to accept it.

Muahahaha. Also, one thing you might consider for some of the unallocated funds is hitting up Cheap Pete's (there's one by the Trader Joe's in San Rafael) and snagging some appropriately tacky gold frames: http://www.cheappetes.com/frame/greatWallFrames It's what we did with some original art from Steve at Telltale back in the day, and it was amazing.

Not without banning them from the whole forum, which they'd probably notice

I always encourage people to check out the Exploratorium, if you like awesome science museums. If you're here for the first Thursday of the month, there's an evening event that's your best bet). I'd suggest a baseball game, but the Giants are away that week. I've never been to Alcatraz and I've lived here for 32 years. Angel Island is a nice trip as well, though.

Just wait until JPL is dropping these things into your yard with skycranes.

Mein Thumbcraft—IdleT Dedicated Minecraft Server
tabacco replied to MrHoatzin's topic in Multiplayer Networking
It was pretty simple to set up as I recall, just a Bukkit plugin. I think it was just a matter of dropping the dynmap.jar and its associated folder of settings and things into the bukkit plugins directory. -

I haven't got 'round to updating idlemc.com yet - I wasn't expecting Jake to plug it on the podcast :/ -
Well obviously. What am I, an animal?

That's my guess. My complaint isn't that the boxes aren't good enough, it's that they seem too good. BAsically I want a cheap little box with no real hardware except a solid video decoder, bluetooth, and networking to handle streaming form the PC I already own, but would rather not keep in the middle of my living room.
-
I'm kind of disappointed in the low end of the steam box spectrum. I was hoping the low-cost options would essentially be very lightweight streaming clients, kind of like the onlive microconsole was.

I don't have any really good suggestions, but Cafepress is indeed pretty bad quality. You could do preorders and then have a real screen printer (or whatever) make a small run to fill the preorders. If volume is low, you can always just do your own fulfillment.

Sorry, a new what?

Yeah it seems to be a bug in the mobile skin that's appeared since we went to ssl. I haven't had a chance to look into it yet but it's pretty harmless.

I'm sorry you're not into animated stuff, but this is really failing to contribute to the discussion. It's fine to not like something, but there's no need to crap on others who do.

This forum's been around a long time, and it's been through a couple of forum software changes. We don't enforce that restriction anymore with the current software because it's better at blocking spammer registrations in the first place.
