Sweet, do you have the pickguard project live somewhere? I want to check it out!


Crumb is awesome, he let me use this work in a Philip k Dick event I put on years ago

https://www.shipinthewoods.com/owl-in-the-daylight


Looks like a great event!


It was really great, Phil's old editor, David Brin, and a few other of Phil's friends came to join. I made a play that was from an interview he did before he passed away, describing an unfinished book. The interviewer also attended, (RIP Doris), What If Our World is Their Heaven. Great book if you're a pkd fan!


David Brin who is an accomplished scifi author himself? Awesome (also because of dolphins in space).


Yeah, I met him actually through a friend because of this project, was great to have him. He's awesome, one reason is because, Dolphins in space!


Username checks out!


Yeah! read some of your comments, you're def a scifi nerd. Reading any good books at the moment? Just getting through Lems Perfect vacuum, and really like Alan Moores new series. He does such a good job of world building.

Looking for more good books if you have any to recommend!


Sweet!!! Go shred!!! post some music!


Casa video is awesome!! Its been around for ages, so rad to go see it today, its full of DVDs, lots of people playing games and watching movies. Def need some more places like this - Would be cool to do the library version for films, also worked at blockbuster, people would ask me what they should watch and i would get them some solid movies


Does your detail plan outline exactly what to implement/ lines of code to edit? I found if I get a nice detailed plan that sonnet is good enough to implement. Did you try that before and found fable better at implementing?


Yeah. So the benefit of Fable is that it'll find gaps in the system as well. So logic errors get caught. I have a separate backend and frontend so plumbing issues are also caught by Fable.


Interesting, have you tried fable with making the strict plan though, and seeing if that catches all of logic errors ahead of time, and then just sending sonnet out to make the detailed updates? Or are you finding that by having fable implement it still catches things post detailed plan? So many tests to run and try out, trying to figure out to try out next.


Super cool!!! I have a EM pinball in the garage that is calling me to get up and running. The cabinet is trashed but the insides are solid. This will inspire me to get after it today, thank you!


Make sure to keep a record of your work and blog it up for others to enjoy!


Its a good idea, I have found someone working on the same machine I have too, so I am hoping to follow their lead on a few things. The strange thing is this machine is a euro version, so power conversions etc. But for how bad the cabinet is, the inside looks really clean. Gone through cleaning the playfield a bit, but a bit nervous with getting it all up and running without hours of dedicated time on it, I need another engineer friend to come over and tinker with me. Will update when I start making moves on it


That was fun thank you, haven't played quake 3 in awhile, so many memory neurons firing!


Any updates on this? Seems a bit odd, that Reddit post is deleted and a few others in tech support as well? Not seeing the behavior anymore, but would be nice to know what happened.


The cure did this, we got tickets a few days before the shore, bought from reseller directly through ticket master but they could only be relisted at face value, got 8th for $75 I think, it was a great show


Here in Norway they passed a law which states you can only resell tickets at face value. I'm sure there are some scalpers still but I can't recall reading about it in the news the way I did before the law.


Maybe that is what we need in US too.

Matt Haney is trying to do something with AB 1720 (Resale Price Cap), and Ticketmaster is supporting it. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml...

I am not sure why a bill would set some magic and arbitrary percentage other than 0%. This has likely be negotiated with the industry.


Thinking more on those 10% cap, it would allow scalpers to sell the original ticket to themselves, over and over, to eventually reach the price of the market.

Unless Ticketmaster takes a significant proportional bite at every resell, nothing prevents scalpers to triple the price of the original ticket, but reselling in a loop.


I think that is the right way to give the enough price control to the artists. So, if The Cure wants to keep the ticket price low, they can.


And the top tier QuantumSpark?
