ya know......

this NG has been a bit slow lately.

I'm also quite surprised that no one has posted (ad nauseam) about all
the lego they got for Christmas.

Some of us didn't get any LEGO for Xmas. :)

I've been sorting! Sorting, sorting, sorting. I've filled... <runs to room
for a sec, turns up "Moments are Forever" by Moon Project so I don't miss a
beat, while counting>

-6 "shallow" 50.8 mm Plano's
-1 "deep" 101.6 mm Plano

I still need more! After emptying the contents of my second Technic 4x4
OffRoader, I've found so many new parts I need more bins. I've also noted
that I have a disgustingly large amount of black friction pegs.

I think I'm going to sort out all the pieces I know I don't use very often
and put them all in one bodgy bin. Then I'll have all my "usual" pieces
easily sorted in the Plano.

I forgot to turn down this song, and that's just fine.

in other news I am now working on some kind of way to get 16 bits of
information from one brick into another.

Now THAT'S class!

- do i include error checking?

Nah, you should include a feature that has it play the Canadian National
Anthem every time it sends a bit.

- how complex to make the protocol?

You should make it complex enough that it is statistically required to fail
on each BitSend. Outsource SaraBit (TM) FeatureCheck with Optiv104
CorrectCheck to Kami-Jagerman group. Task oriented impulse bit check, with
each bit requiring a separate task. Use multiple RCX control for thousands
of simultaneous tasks.

- should I reply to Jeff W with an equally petty childish remark?

No, becuase he builds amazing Eight-sided buildings :)

WHICH REMINDS ME.

OMG. DEATH.

I saw the most HILARIOUS commercial. It was for this bed, and they go...

"See how strong our bed is. We put this two hundred fourty pound hexagonal
mechanical roller on it, to prove how strong it is." AND THEN THEY PROCEED
TO SHOW THIS GIANT HEXAGON VIBRATING ON THE BED. I perished.

man this is a tough one.

It often... wait. What is this video on Much? Nelly, come on. Stop it. You
do not play baseball in HIGH HEELS. What the heck! EW! Get this filth off.
Why does EC have to be over now?

(...) Where do you guys get Planos that big? I've been to about 4-5 Wal-Marts in the surrounding area, but the #18 (shallow with tiny compartments) is the largest Plano they had. Where else is a good place to look for them? Home Depot? Ivan "Push to (...) (23 years ago, 30-Dec-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
