The Mind Of OverlordTomala

Best day I’ve had in awhile!

Well, aside from my morning shift (still groggy from that and may pass out after dinnerbreakfast), I bought a new laptop, 2 1TB 7200 RPM drives AND made it into the Steam Linux beta! So I might have to download the latest Ubuntu ISO later on to prepare, either that or wait for my new gaming system to arrive. I’ll post specs about it later when I’m less tired.

On another note I have a couple SFM things in the pipeline. One of them being my latest dream from last night. I think I’ll start on that one first.

Gonna go read up on some stuff now.

Early Morning Open Thread

Haven’t been feeling very great today. The weather hasn’t been helping either, been stuck in this hibernation cycle. So I just kicked back and did something easy. I built a scene for an upcoming vid in SFM, and refined a small script I’ve been working on since yesterday (which combines about 3 dreams that I had recently). Now all I need is the voices so I can animate it!

On another note I’ve been looking at gaming laptops again, although it isn’t a must at this point since my current one still kicks ass. However, it’s nice to have an idea of what you’re going to buy when you finally make your decision.

Help an awesome girl with an awesomely groovy project.

A good friend of mine from the Slackers forums has a cool daughter attempting to make a super special awesome kickstarter project called “The Beaded Body”

I’m super excited to get going on this sculpture. I’ll use off-loom beadweaving techniques with a needle and thread to weave a complete covering in beads from around the world onto a life-size female form. I see this project as the first in a series of beaded human figures.

Here’s a pic of the miniature model I’m working on to demonstrate the process. The finished model will be a reward!

Depending on how much you donate they also have some cool prizes! Check out the kickstarter for details!

Queen of dumb blondes robs bank then youtubes about it.

Remember awhile back when I blogged about the Wal Mart employees filming their quality handling of iPads? Well, just when I start to lose faith in humanity another story and video comes along, and I lose even more faith in humanity. 🙄

Some dumbassed blond chick not only robbed a bank and stole a car, but decided to vlog about it!

The suspect pointed what appeared to be a gun and handed tellers a note that said “You are being robbed! NO ALARMS OR LOCKS OR PHONES or INK BAGS! I have a loaded gun. You have 2 minutes,” deputies told NTV.

It was unclear how Sabata intends to plead. The name of her attorney was not immediately known.

When looking up the definition of dumb blond, you need not look further than for the one named Hannah Sabata.

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

Sometimes I think Cyan is about as organized as the Hindenburg.

An emergency situation has arisen quite rapidly over the last 24 hours. In short, one file in the CWE sources is in violation of licensed code by RAD Game Tools: Plasma20/Sources/Plasma/FeatureLib/pfSurface/plLayerBink.cpp You absolutely have to delete this file from any cloned repository you might have – completely. This means that you must perform a complete rebase removing this file from the initial source release, so that it never appears ever again. As a first measure, make a commit removing that file from your fork. It contains code belonging to RAD Game Tools, and was accidentally released by Cyan as they were unaware of its origin at the time..

This affects all known forks and branches, including H’uru.

Failure to so could result in prosecution of Cyan Worlds by RAD Game Tools for releasing copyrighted code, which would be A Bad Thing(TM).

If you need help removing this file, please contact one of the developers (including me) for instructions on how to proceed. Speed is essential in removing this file.

Note: your client will probably no longer compile if you remove this file. A fix will be distributed once it has been found.

Note 2: end-users need take no action. Cool
