I automatically revert minced oaths to their blasphemous equivalent, making any cartoon a south park swear fest... But I don't like it.

sewing machine follies...
Parker_Izing commented on Parker_Izing's blog entry in Parker_Izing's Blog
It works! Without belt, cranking it by hand spinning the wheel, I just repaired a hole on a pocket, easy as pie... -
Today I picked up my first sewing machine, being in a budget it was either an old machine or a cheapo Chinese one... I did go for a 'Singer' manufactured on the 50's, it wasn't neither old enough to be valued or 'collectible' , but was new enough to be expected to work/find some spares (like the leather belt I snapped trying to unfold the machine). Well, It's quite appealing, it all folds nicely in a nightstand format, got all sorts of regulations, all it needs is a good oiling... Point two, inside a small compartment, I found an oiler can, empty but in pristine condition, as in "It worths more than the whole machine" An oil glass flask, with cork cap, original Singer, and enough spiders to make Fluttershy cringe.

Fixed two different cars in two days, that must be a record or something...
-
nope at all.

well, native as "heard English since the crib", so "All people that speak English" that is correct.
-
English speaking natives, you know, like the indians of old western films... "this pleases us, thy should try it."
-
Since 1989, under the spotlight of Barcelona 92, I studied English in school first,and then by myself, that makes it 25 years... Well, recently I found I'm fully capable to hold converstions with natives, Now I feel I'm capable to roleplay... Must check if I have a character ready...

Each time I cross with someone who try to sound intersting by quoting obscure/old movies, I love to use my Eidetic memory to pop their bubble
-
I'm your father!
-
You have eidetic memory!? That's AWESOME! What kind of stuff do you remember, or are you the kind of "I haven't forgotten anything since I was twelve" person?
-
I can remember also scents, music tunes, pictures, feelings about other people, random things from any moment, I remember one time I dropped my pacifier tru the window, can I playback on my mind former conversations so I can "hear again" some bit I can't catch at first, many times decades old bits.

Recently affirmed my natural talent in merchanics... (engines) but actually can tinker with steam engines too, so, i'd love something mechanics related, I mean, if it's right with you...
-
My Cutie Mark is mechanics related, today I waked a 200cc engine out of it's stupor (got it for free because it didn't work)

Yesterday had to visit the hospital (nothing severe, just the weird sideeffect of a lack of vitamin B) I carryed with me my laptop case just in case it was severe enough to be hospitalized, well after being discharged I was on waiting room, waiting to go home, I decide to whip out my IBM T42, to try to pirate myself on hospital's wifi, a lot of smiles appear around me, then I remember of the Rarity decal I have on screen lid... Sorta of win, nothing exagerated, but not a snide remark either.
-
Aww, just packing mine to get rid of it...

Dashie's Computer Thread!
Parker_Izing replied to DashieInTheDark's topic in Entertainment and Geekery
A time ago, I did build a Holographic drive. (using a Makrolon sample plus the lens head of a DVD burner) It uses a Makrolon Waffle, gold backed plus a laser to burn data like on a disk, but with infinite* layers, now I got around 30TB of data and estimate a 80% is available. I also assembled the laser tray on stepper motors taken from a scanner, summed up with imaginative lens setup, I can burn 2^34 bytes per inch, on a 12x12" waffle with 1024 layers. The downs: The capacity I got is Abysmal compared to other prototypes, It's SLOW on write cycles (slow as in Floppy drive slow) the read speeds are on par with a 52x CD-ROM. so slow compared with a hard disk. Also is HUGE, but it fits in a modified full PC Tower. Consumes a lot of current on write cycle (1200 w dedicated PSU and it croaks after 3 hours of writing non-stop) As time passes the disk would lose capacity and data due to medium corruption (not at he moment) The upside: 150 TB of storage on 2013... I can copy all internet and stop forking to my ISP -

Oh my, I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences.

Our greatest condolences. Cancer is cruel like that...

Sorry to hear that. Cancer sucks.

I dislike the flim flam brothers... Besides that episode being a John Henry ode (that was nice) those two are 'A' grade jerks... I like Babs Seed, she pusher her way in, but as now she had been accepted. Sunset Shimmer didn't fool me with her waterworks... (a bawling jerk is a jerk bawling...) hope to not see her in the series, she's the biggest Mary Sue ever... I support "FlashLight"

I'm back!

Geez, almost a month since I entered last time, perhaps I'm deserting this forum after all, look guys, it's nothing wrong about you, It's about me, I'm 29 now, I'm not sure I can keep a PG character just for here all the time without slipping, my place is not here. Sorry.
