2011 Crapperpalooza
August 15th 2011, 20:47 CEST by m0nty The projected itinerary is as follows: October 2: Melbourne to LA to San Francisco via plane 3-4: visit Silicon Valley and catch up with some entrepreneur peeps 5: San Francisco to Boston via plane 6-8: Hang out with McBain, Hugin and other Bostonian Crappers 9: Boston to New York via train (KATG Bingo that evening) 10-12: Hang out in New York, maybe catch up with Funkdrunk and other NY Crappers 13: Visit Cheesypoof in New Jersey 14: New Jersey to Chicago via rental car 15-16: Hang out with jjz, Chunkstyle, Penguinx and other Chi-town-area Crappers 17: Chicago to Indianapolis via rental car 18: Descend upon Gabe and Brett 19-20: Indianapolis to New Orleans (might dawdle here a bit, maybe stop off a night on the way) 21-23: Hang out in New Orleans, possibly with Jibble, or with a bevy of topless babes (tough choice I know) 24: New Orleans to Beaumont via rental car, visit (hopefully) with UncleJeet and his brood 25: Beaumont to Dallas via rental car 26: Visit Jibble, Mrs Jibble and their plushly-cushioned abode 27: Dallas to LA via plane 28-29: Disneyland, bitches! Or other LA things. 30: LA to Melbourne via plane Part of this itinerary is fixed, particularly around some football matches (MIN @ CHI on the 16th, IND @ NO on the 23rd). The rest of it is open to suggestion, especially the rental car bits. Sadly, Bob and honeypower will be moving interstate and internationally respectively, mere weeks before I blow through Alabama. Which is rather suspicious if you ask me, but hardly unexpected. For those of you who had heard about this previously and are wondering why I stop at Texas, given that my original concept was to breeze right up the left coast to Vancouver... fear not, I have just delayed that part for 12 months. You won't get away that easily. I realise I have not asked some of you aforementioned for permission to visit yet... consider this my request! I will, of course, be contacting people privately and asking nicely. And if you're not on the list but want to get on it, post or forever hold your peace! I want to meet as many of you as my liver can stand. And if some of you are too shy or frightened, that's cool. Except Hugin, no excuses for you. I shall bring wonderment, joy and good vibes to America. I'll deliver more hope and freedom than Obama ever could. It shall be glorious. Oh yes. |

FATALITY "One part disembowels me while another slowly eats its way through the gas line. As I bleed out on the floor, it reminds me that I need to buy milk." - Jibble

"I *got* that SOB! Stupid game!" <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

"Cheap, cheap, play right asshole!" Don't forget garnishes such as: Fish shaped solid waste.

#38 by G-Man trying to keep it small (and losing). Good luck with that. It'll be whatever size she wants. "THE FUCKING KITTY LITTER FUCKING BOMB GHRHGURHGUHGRUGHRUGHURHGURHGHHGHUAHUHU KITTY" -- greg

Yeah, I know. The tactics I use when negotiating settlements don't really work on her that well. Re: captions - maybe something like "OMG HAX!" or "RROD again!?". I dunno. Everything sounds so cliched. |
|
Invite us all to the wedding, idiot. 99% of us won't show but a non-zero amount might send a gift. |
|
Woo! As the OP says, I'm there on the 3rd and 4th. The 4th would likely work best for my schedule. How much time do you have free? Depending on that, I may be able to throw in a tour of the ranches. I'll email you specifics once I get things set up. |
|
#43 by McBain Aww, baby's first chainsaw kill. |
|
I have enough coal... |
|
You probably don't have any. |
|
Does charcoal count? |
|
Yes. But you can never have enough charcoal. |
|
Jibble, are you on Steam at all? I just realized that I had the wrong Jibble on my Steam friends list for like 2 years. I was chatting with him for about 5 minutes before I figured it out. |
|
I stayed inside and played video games all weekend. |
|
#56 by G-Man Jibble, are you on Steam at all? I just realized that I had the wrong Jibble on my Steam friends list for like 2 years. I was chatting with him for about 5 minutes before I figured it out. I'm on steam, but haven't touched it since I installed it on the Mac for free Portal. User name is TheJibble. Good luck seeing me online ever. Also I wouldn't buy you coal. I'd probably get you a glass or a spoon or something minimally useful. |
|
I suppose I should book my vacation and just do something. m0nty, when are you where again? I might go down to LA for a comedy show on Sept 28. "I hope you one day decide to smarten the fuck up so I can stand to look at your posts." - gaggle

It's in the OP, bitch! |
|
This seems as good a place as any. I have questions! 1. How is everyone? 2. How is morn? 3. Does anyone have a topic that's been sitting in their pipeline for over nine years like I do? 4. When is Planetcrap 7.0 coming? 5. Will avatars ruin Planetcrap? Y/N? "I don't bemoan the great paste" - LPMiller
|
|
1. Fine, thanks for asking. 2. Seems good. 3. Nope, Gabe pushes them. 4. Just after Jesus. 5. Rainbow puppy certainly won't. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.
|
|
Planetcrap is the most beautiful forum ever created. Hey, how do I install the owenbutler thing? That might get me to post more. |
|
1. I am very well, thanks for asking. It is good to see you too. 2. Pops into IRC every now and then, seems OK. 3. No, like Chunk says we ask Gabe to push them and he does. 4. Seventh of never. 5. Of course not. The Santa hat avatar thing is the best thing that ever happened to this site. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
1. I am in Vancouver now. You should come see me do comedy. 2. Better than Tom. 3. I have never written a topic. 4. It came out and sucked so we all rolled back to XP. 5. Define "ruin" in the context of 'crap. "I hope you one day decide to smarten the fuck up so I can stand to look at your posts." - gaggle
|
|
1. I am rather stressed out, with a big business deal in my pipeline to sell out for interweb squillions. 2. morn is now living in Berlin, doing short-term corporate programming as always. Seems like there are a lot of Crappers who do that, none of whom are really happy with it. We were discussing it last night in IRC when Ashiran dropped by. It's not the greatest outcome, I reckon. 3. I generally get topics pushed on the rare occasion I am moved to create one. You could too if you came to IRC. Thanks Gabe! 4. NEVAR. THE DEVELOPERS OWE US NOTHING. 5. Avatars without Santa hats will ruin PlanetCrap. |

I'm pretty annoyed with Apple right now. File sharing in Lion is a piece of shit, they switched from samba which always worked flawlessly to some new bullshit. So now I can't open .doc files shared from the macbook to the pc. They also fucked up the VNC and made is half as fast. I would be fine with just downgrading back to Snow Leopard but they won't let you install an older OS than the one your piece of shit apple computer came with. I'm half tempted to just install windows 7 on it and give up on OSX for good, they haven't made any bona fide improvement in years, they have only broken shit. I'm trying a samba 3 workaround right now and if it doesn't work I expect I'll have to stab someone 33 times. |
|
Thanks for the answers! I did actually notice the recurring Santa hats outside the yuletide season and figured it must have become some kind of PC tradition. Shadarr, I will take you up on that. When and where do you your stand-up? Also, I tried 25peeps.com and got a page not found. I am kind of 50/50 on that probably being a good thing. "I don't bemoan the great paste" - LPMiller

lwf: I'm pretty annoyed with Apple right now. File sharing in Lion is a piece of shit, they switched from samba which always worked flawlessly to some new bullshit.

I'm trying a samba 3 workaround right now and if it doesn't work I expect I'll have to stab someone 33 times. They haven't 'switched from samba ... to some now bullshit'. When you activate sharing in OS X, it always enables AFP by default. You have to manually enable samba. |
|
Also, are you connecting to the Macbook from the PC via VNC? Because if you are then it was always shit-slow - Apple use a proprietary version of the protocol that is mostly-compatible with non-Apple clients but doesn't support compression. |
|
Finally, I'm surprised that you can't install SL on your MacBook - they haven't introduced any new models recently, they've just started shipping the existing range with Lion pre-installed instead of SL. What problem are you running into (bearing in mind that pretty much *no* operating system on Earth supports downgrading cleanly to an earlier version). |
|
I haven't even tried. They have a kb article on it basically saying you will get a black screen if you try. Apparently it has always been apple policy to disallow downgrading from the OS version shipped with. For instance if you bought a macbook pro that shipped with SL 10.6.6 you'd need to use your restore DVD and not a 10.6 DVD. Relevant link. Also, they have switched from samba. They are using an in-house SMB instead, and it fucking blows. I can't open .doc files in Word 2003, I get a privilege error - now that is as much a problem with Office 2003 as it is with Lion, but it fucking worked fine in SL. Also, file sharing in SL seemed much, much faster overall when editing/saving documents over the network. I'm just pissed off at Apple's arbitrary controlling bullshit. I would be perfectly happy if I could just downgrade to SL. I might even consider returning this fucking thing. |
|
My Save Anywhere topic is still in my pipeline. It's from 2002. |
|
lwf: Ah, it's a Macbook Air. It's odd that you wouldn't be able to downgrade that though - they haven't bumped the specs since Lion was released, have they? Re: SMB - I hadn't realised they'd ditched Samba. That does seem a bit boneheaded, even if they do appear to have added support for SMB2 to their own suite. |
|
They bumped the specs on the Airs with Lion. So I guess SL doesn't have the right drivers - particularly no support for the display. Seems lame. The improved display is one of the main reasons I went with the Air. |
|
#68 by Creole Ned Shadarr, I will take you up on that. When and where do you your stand-up? I just moved, so it's probably going to be a few weeks before I get booked on a show. Are you on FB? That's the easiest way for me to invite people to shows, because it's where most of them are booked. "I hope you one day decide to smarten the fuck up so I can stand to look at your posts." - gaggle

1. As good as any corporate whore is doing these days. 2. Wunderbar 3. No 4. After Windows goes open source. 5. TROTSKY LIVES! |
|
So with Qt3 imploding can we expect a return of many PC'ers? She's probably had sex with like 4 different guys by now and has no idea who he is anymore, his face lost in a memory sea of dicks.
|
|
Imploding? This is the most healthy Qt3 has been in years. BUYBUYBUY
|
|
Did Tom explicitly state he was leaving? I imagine if he bars himself from partaking in his own forum he might just as soon shut it down. She's probably had sex with like 4 different guys by now and has no idea who he is anymore, his face lost in a memory sea of dicks.
|
|
He's still updating the front page, recording podcasts, and doing some light moderation (or someone is). It's only been two days so it's hard to predict anything yet. I expect him back within two weeks and the random bannings to start back up within two months. BUYBUYBUY
|
|
Oh for fuck's sake, there is enough Tomcockgobbling over there, please don't bring that drama queen bullshit here too. |
|
Are you a millionaire yet? No? Then put a cork in it. "I hope you one day decide to smarten the fuck up so I can stand to look at your posts." - gaggle

#80 by Gunp01nt Did Tom explicitly state he was leaving? I imagine if he bars himself from partaking in his own forum he might just as soon shut it down. I think he did. Someone posted a quote, apparently from Tom, saying that he was staying out of the forums but would continue updating the front page etc. I'm not sure how that works given that the main audience for the stuff on the front page appears to be the forum and most of the contributors to the podcast are drawn from the forum. Anyway, he's a bit of a drama queen so the likelihood is that he'll start posting again in a few weeks. Whoop-de-fucking-doo. There is a lot of Tomcockgobbling going on over there at the moment. I too hope that this place gets a lease of life from the shenanigans over there but I'm not holding my breath. Although, you never know. |

Jaysus, the two topics in the submission bin are there since the start of last year! |
|
lwf: They bumped the specs on the Airs with Lion. So I guess SL doesn't have the right drivers - particularly no support for the display. Seems lame. The improved display is one of the main reasons I went with the Air. It's just occurred to me that I haven't noticed any of the issues you're having with Lion because I'm generally connecting from my Macbook (Lion) to my Linux file server or my Macmini (SL, because there's only a gig of RAM in it). If I was doing things the other way round I'd probably be having more problems. Yay me? Does anyone have any idea why the Chrome version of the PC user-script doesn't work most of the time? |
|
deadlock (#85): Jaysus, the two topics in the submission bin are there since the start of last year! Hello dermot, welcome to PlanetCrap. |
|
I tried to drum up some traffic for PC. We got Ned to post so that's a win. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Man PC really needs a mobile interface. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Shadarr (#83): Are you a millionaire yet? No? Then put a cork in it. What does that mean, anyway? I have to be a millionaire to criticise Tom? How peculiar. |
|
m0nty: Hello dermot, welcome to PlanetCrap. The fact that I never bother looking at the submission bin should be proof that I'm an old hand on PC :P m0nty: What does that mean, anyway? I have to be a millionaire to criticise Tom? How peculiar. I don't think even being a millionaire qualifies you to criticise Tom Chick. CheesyPoof: What does that mean, anyway? I have to be a millionaire to criticise Tom? How peculiar. I've thought about writing one as a sort of exercise in learning Android and/or Web App development. |
|
#90 by m0nty Shadarr (#83): Are you a millionaire yet? No? Then put a cork in it. What does that mean, anyway? I have to be a millionaire to criticise Tom? How peculiar. No, you can criticize all you want. You have to be a millionaire to tell other people what to talk about. "I hope you one day decide to smarten the fuck up so I can stand to look at your posts." - gaggle

You're such a tool Shadarr. You have to be a billionaire to tell other people what to talk about. Inflation, dude. Fuck, on paper I'm probably a millionaire and not even my son does what I tell him. |
