Hey Cat, The Game. XD

Snake: Kept you waiting, huh?

I wonder what would be the performance...

*Solid Snake voice* Tasty! X3

*drinks the two-liter* Ah, that's the stuff... slammin'! X3

These Bezels can be distracting... No wonder why Windows won't let you maximize across the virtual screen. Hehe.

The multiple monitor setup, huh?

$10 says the CSS-fu is easier.

Man, have I worked up a big, Grunty thirst... X3 *grabs a Pepsi*

I blame you for Green wanting to scare me

lol. I totally agree with that, there's like, nothing interesting in the spam boards at the moment that I'm aware of.

Yes it is I. Thought I'd browse around a little while like I did early this morning. That is how after all I learned there was a social club for people like me, who are furry. :3

morning! ouo/)

Your chat presence!

You know how the current forum theme has the background pattern?

Theoretically it could have worked just as well with a completely opaque background PNG. Hmm...

It's supposed to work with Firefox and Chrome. Hmm... Well, the latter is partially true, at least.

By the way you're probably the funniest admin ever. Hehe....

Is it a bad thing that the online GIF generator only worked in IE10 by itself and IE9 with Chrome Frame for me?

*random Covenant Grunt voice* Aiee! Little people first! Save yourself! X3

//attempts to drag the Zoroark around
BU

I see you~

*pokes Cat333Pokémon with a static Zorua frame*

Teehee

Or when I start to run out of colours.

Other favourites I suppose? Until I run up to the file size limit.

//petting teh kitty 8UU

Thanks as always.

My Adoptables' nicknames aren't showing in my Sig. Well Omega's is but not SkySword-EX 's or Armored Tyrant 's.

I think I might want to add some more images into the avatar mix. Hehe...

Going to sleep pretty soon?

Hehe, that's right! That can now be safely removed.

Every single page on Victory Road. Seems like you forgot to do something.

Hmm...

why do I want to dump my Android phone now and switch to WP7

Help me (lol)

*takes a look at the page source*

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9" />

Huh?

It'd be hilarious when IBF somehow ends up linking to a broken image.

Then again, if someone is blocking them, all they see it a blank space... or a broken image.

I wonder whether it's possible to have smileys link to an external image, say something with tracking properties

Should we?

Is there a smiley view count stats counter

Backupception?

Alrighty. :3

Well, I'll probably see you sometime later today... I should probably rest up for work. Fortunately, it's a job that I enjoy, so that makes life easier. :3

Yeah, I can definitely think of some games like that, especially some that I've downloaded for my iPod Touch. I hate when AdMob ads take up a space normally reserved for game controls... >.<

I don't know if this kind of discussion is allowed on Victory Road, but once I get my iPhone, I'm probably going to jailbreak my iPod Touch, only because I want to try creating themes for iOS devices, plus I hear there's a way to control music playback with any of the external buttons (volume controls, sleep button, etc). I would never jailbreak for piracy reasons.

The only time I complain about a free game is when the game in question stinks like day-old sauerkraut.
*Okay, that was random... X3*

If you're into sci-fi type games, I'd strongly recommend the Marathon Trilogy. It used to be commercial software up until recently, but now it's freeware. Can't beat free games, true?

http://marathon.sourceforge.net/

Yeah, I don't really know too much about Shenmue, either. I hope it it's as cool as people say it is...

*victory fanfare plays*

Turns out it's an IE10 bug in the scripting engine.

IT'S FIXED IN THE CONSUMER PREVIEW!

(Yeah, you can remove the <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9" /> part now.)

If I can find it for a nice price, I'd like to get Shenmue for the Dreamcast. From what I've heard of it, it sounds like it would be a really cool game.

Fun fact: There's a lorem ipsum feature in Word!

Placeholder text is awesome for tasting stuff

When they both are available to the general public, and a replacement for VRIM isn't done yet, well, looks like trouble's a-brewing.

Twiggy is doing other things

box-shadow behaviour for blurred shadows:
Firefox is freaking thick
Safari is a close second
Opera, Chrome and IE get about the same thickness

Yeah, it's a pretty rare piece of software. I just had a quick look at it on YouTube... it looks a little too juvenile for my taste. I guess I could stick to the versatility of the software synths and audio stuff that I already have. :3

Yeah, I haven't had much time to really enjoy my Dreamcast, no thanks to school. -_-
Speaking of Dreamcast, I was hoping to be able to use a synthesizer or chip tracker program with it, but it looks like I'm coming to a lot of dead ends... all I see are blog articles and no actual downloads. >.<


EDIT: Wait, I take that back... There's this one sequencer called "O-to-i-re," but it's a Japanese release. Still, it might be worth a shot. :3

Gotcha.

So, have you found any good games/old tech lately? Anything worth noting?

XBMC works decently even on my 5-year-old MacBook, and it only has an Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics processor. That being said, you shouldn't have any issues with XBMC, no matter which platform you're using. :3

If you're looking for some decent media center software, I'd recommend either Plex or XBMC (formerly Xbox Media Center). I have yet to actually try Plex, since there is no Mac version as of yet. XBMC, however, is easy to use, has support for many different media formats (audio and video), and you can get all kinds of themes for it. As for hardware, I really don't know what to tell you.

Yeah, I seriously need to build myself a PC entertainment center, especially one with a powerful video card that can output video via analog composite as well as VGA and/or DVI. You know, gotta have a versatile home entertainment/gaming PC.

o.o also i cant get onto VRIM

............

ISA, huh? Now that's old-school.

It's a shame that none of my computers have PCI slots or ISA slots. Then again, that's the price I pay for owning laptops. X3

I think Opera has the worst hardware acceleration, compared to Firefox, and especially IE. Hmm...

Oh, and it's that bad. Opera 12 and VRIM just do not mix. This is the desktop version: (admittedly it's beta, but since Opera Mobile 12 isn't beta, I have a hunch that this is going to stick)

*harming

Opera Mobile now autoposts and that plus autocorrect is just...

The sloppy coding is baiting modern browsers

Getting a bit too hungry?

First Internet Explorer, now Opera Mobile. Sooner or later fragile code in VRIM will get everyone.

Yeah, I wish I had a computer with PCI slots to use the modem in, or I'd happily accept the offer. :3
Either way, I figure I can live with or without internet on any of my game consoles.

I have seen where I could connect the Dreamcast to a PC using a standard modem, but alas, the only other thing in my house that still has a modem, is my iBook. Unless I can figure out how to emulate Windows 98 on the iBook and use a server program, there's very little hope in getting the Dreamcast connected to the internet. Of course, that's of least concern to me.

As for Windows CE on the Dreamcast, I'll have to look into it a little further.

Thanks, I'll need it.
My friend from Japanese class and I had a wonderful idea to order white sweaters with "Graduating class of 2014" in Japanese and maybe some other stuff as well as a big image of a Totoro on the back all in red writing. We're gonna talk to our teacher about maybe getting those for when we reach grade 12. Cool idea, ね。

Remember the stuff I said in the chat?

Replace all of the following with something that is in common use 10 years ago. You can substitute something from a completely different vendor.

H.264
MPEG-4
Google+
Facebook
Twitter
This forum
Windows Internet Explorer 9
Mozilla Firefox 10
CSS3
iTunes
iPhone series
Android smartphones

Sometimes it might work a bit to jog your memory or something.

*Has to be similar

Yeah, eventually I'd like to have three more controllers and probably another VMU for my Dreamcast. Maybe even an Ethernet interface card would be nice, :3

hi admin!!!

Isbragg has informed me to contact you for a prize. I took 2nd in the MK7 tourney.

Finals are underway in the MK7 Tournament. I'll PM you the results when it concludes and have the prize winners contact you

ADLMIDI can handle 16-track MIDIs just fine. Just remember to extend the Command Prompt window be a bit, until you can see the entire thing - it's not the program, but rather Command Prompt's constant rescrolling due to partial updates that can cause hangups.

*Glomps* Hey Kitty~ :3 I can't wait until I'll be able to read Japanese nearly as well as you. I'm slowly gettin' there!

A seven-year-old laptop, huh? That's like an epic hamburger with awesome sauce. X3
Lately, I've been enjoying the Dreamcast that I scored on Thursday... I've been wanting one since my neighbor moved out a few summers ago, because he had two of them, and I secretly wanted one of them. Being the honest person that I am, I only went as far as having a closer look at the consoles, but never took anything.

Fun fact: the beat to that song is perfect for keeping time with CPR chest compressions.

Yeah but it have to live it life in my mom's restroom.

At the one in my house is getting better.

Oh, and there exists add-ons for IE that add its button not to the Command bar, but instead to the address bar-navigation-home/favourites/settings combo single-line bar if it's on IE9+. If only others did that, too.

At least IE8 fails on layout only on edge cases (stuff that you don't usually do in production sites). I personally haven't made something that needed hacks for it. Yet.

That said...

A redesign is coming.

It's the only decade-old browser that still has a sizable market share. XD

I wonder how retro is IE8 at this point? XD

Yeah, I just gotta figure out how to make it print what I've typed rather than the code of my text editor. X3

Thanks Cat! I actually feel kind of old, to be honest xD

Just got an old Apple dot matrix printer working again... the print carriage evidently rusted itself frozen, but after a few squirts of WD-40, the carriage moves freely. I still have yet to get my computer to print properly using a USB to IEEE 1284 cable, but at least it works as good as it did in 1982. This was at work, btw. :3

*reads VMs*

*downloads ADLMIDI*

How do I compile the source code on a Windows PC?

I don't think I ever told you, I have two cats with horrible eyes they are so bad. Both have bubble kinda of eyes, one of them in my house and it eye is getting better.

Whenever you're ready.

<3
Fix'd

Cat. VRIM is giving me 503 Server Busy. Can you fix it?

Honest, I had no idea what the heck that pic really was. I thought that those were some kind of toy climbing equipment or pens. I seriously did NOT see what made it...yeeech.

1277 and 1470.
All I have to say is "Uh..."

Hmm... good thing I have a handful of MIDI's that have less than four tracks to test with. :3

Hehe, thank you :3

Hello there, guess who's back ;3

thanks Cat *hugs*

Sweet!
*Wonders if there's a Mac version of it, and then takes off after it*

Dang... no Mac version yet, but hopefully it will be fine under my 32-bit copy of Windows 7.

A few other things that are missing from DS-10 include envelope control for VCO 2 pitch (essential for sync leads), tempo precision to at least one decimal place, and, like you said, some sort of MIDI interface. Other than that, I think DS-10 pretty useful for my experimental style of techno. :3

Hi.

Ah yes, the DS-10... awesome synth, I agree. I'll have to upload my Mortal Kombat Theme cover to YouTube, even though I think I did a crappy job with it. XD

What can I say? Zoroark is probably one of the coolest Pokémon from the 5th generation. :3

Just curious, what is your opinion about some of the Korg Monotron minisynths?

I guess I'll see you then, silly kitty.
