<dlowe> I once foolishly made a 3d game engine in ruby, figuring I could do the heavy lifting with C extensions. The C part did lighting, polygon culling, back-to-front sorting of polygons, texture mapping, and updating position based on velocity. The ruby part incremented the velocity with the acceleration.

<shimr> Mags and I had replaced one of her toilets about a month ago and

key
<whitaker> but most of them have that wax ring now, you just gotta line
it all up
<shimr> yes it is most precious, the one ring to bring them all and in
the darkness bind them

There is, in short, nothing I liked about "My Life in Ruins," except some of the ruins. The tourists are even allowed to consult the Oracle at Delphi. That scene reminded of when Chaz and I visited an ancient temple at Ise in Japan. Outside the gates, monks sat on platforms inscribing scrolls. "You may ask anything you want," our guide told us. "Will there be peace in our time?" asked Chaz. The monk gave a look at our guide. Our guide said, "Ah, I think maybe a better question may be more like, 'How many monks live in temple?' "

<derek> That's why I don't eat eggs - if you wait, you get even tastier chickens!
<nathan> When the waitress asks how you'd like your eggs, you say "hatched" ?
<derek> That's exactly right.
