What is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything? Mar 16 19:33:02 2016 <NinjaPotato> i don't think that works over irc :-p Mar 16 19:45:05 2016 <Lucifer_arma> ;) Mar 16 19:45:25 2016 * Lucifer_arma just enabled Google Now on his phone and has been playing with it. Mar 16 19:47:40 2016 <NinjaPotato> hehe Mar 16 19:47:44 2016 <NinjaPotato> i might try that too Mar 16 19:48:03 2016 <NinjaPotato> but i can't really imagine using it for anything but messing around with it that one time :p Mar 16 19:58:24 2016 <Lucifer_arma> I've gotten some use out of it Mar 16 19:58:38 2016 <Lucifer_arma> I suspect I'll get more if I have a car mount for the phone and a headset for while in the car Mar 16 19:59:19 2016 <Lucifer_arma> you know, something I don't have to wear, but if my wife texts me, I can put the headset on and have Google now read it to me, and reply Mar 16 19:59:40 2016 <NinjaPotato> heh that'd make sense Mar 16 20:00:37 2016 <Lucifer_arma> you're also supposed to leave it on for a week or so while it collects data about your movements and stuff. It's supposed to get a lot more useful after that. Mar 16 20:04:40 2016 <Lucifer_arma> I wonder if it'll pick up on the gas station and grocery stores that I go to and start making useful suggestions ;) Mar 16 20:05:56 2016 <NinjaPotato> for me it'd probably do stuff like say "your train's late again" then :p Mar 16 20:07:02 2016 <Lucifer_arma> heh. I live in Texas. I don't know what a train looks like. ;) Mar 16 20:07:12 2016 <Lucifer_arma> I saw a comparison not too long ago comparing the state of public rail in Austin to other cities of comparable size, and it was just atrocious Mar 16 20:07:26 2016 <NinjaPotato> hah Mar 16 20:08:02 2016 <Lucifer_arma> we have ONE SINGLE TRAIN. It goes from Cedar Park to downtown. THAT'S IT. Mar 16 20:08:02 2016 <Lucifer_arma> and it shares the rails with freight trains, and I believe the public transit has to yield to them Mar 16 20:08:37 2016 <NinjaPotato> here it's the faster trains that have priority Mar 16 20:08:41 2016 <Lucifer_arma> what's really screwy is that I live about 10 minutes from the nearest stop, and I'm near Cedar Park, but if I had to go downtown, I'd probably beat the train vs going to catch it Mar 16 20:09:05 2016 <NinjaPotato> always sucks to see that fast thing zoom by though when you totally know its late and responsible for your train being late too :D Mar 16 20:09:17 2016 <Lucifer_arma> well, you know, Europe's been building public rail for like a hundred years Mar 16 20:09:43 2016 <Lucifer_arma> Austin has spent the last 20 years arguing about it, and whining about bad traffic Mar 16 20:09:43 2016 <NinjaPotato> i once went from germany to sweden with a train Mar 16 20:09:56 2016 <NinjaPotato> at one point they load the actual train on a boat and ship it over :D Mar 16 20:10:17 2016 <Lucifer_arma> where we *should* be right now is high speed rail connecting the entire Texas Triangle, with lower speed trains running in each metro area Mar 16 20:10:29 2016 <NinjaPotato> hehe Mar 16 20:10:29 2016 <Lucifer_arma> heh, I've seen photos of those ferries Mar 16 20:11:23 2016 <Lucifer_arma> we're supposed to be a bicycle-loving city, but we don't live up to that claim until it's possible to live and work without a car. Mar 16 20:11:51 2016 <Lucifer_arma> and while I've pulled that one off for short periods, it's not a long-term lifestyle right now. Not unless you make $100k+/year, anyway Mar 16 20:12:09 2016 <NinjaPotato> best place for bicycles is probably the netherlands here Mar 16 20:12:20 2016 <NinjaPotato> they got bike lanes EVERYWHERE Mar 16 20:12:23 2016 <Lucifer_arma> I've heard Finland is a great place, too Mar 16 20:12:48 2016 <NinjaPotato> haven't been there yet, but in sweden it's not bad either Mar 16 20:12:59 2016 <Lucifer_arma> well, see, Austin has gotten a lot better. A lot of our previously two lane streets have been aggressively restriped to be one-lane and a large bicycle lane Mar 16 20:13:20 2016 <Lucifer_arma> but public transit coverage is so bad that unless you live in Central Austin, you have to have a car Mar 16 20:13:27 2016 <NinjaPotato> meh Mar 16 20:13:42 2016 <Lucifer_arma> even the buses quit running around midnight, while advertising a safe ride home from the bars, which close at 2am Mar 16 20:13:49 2016 <ct|kyle> Just make the transcontinental hyper loop Mar 16 20:14:11 2016 <Lucifer_arma> I'll be happy to see rail covering the major suburbs, to be honest Mar 16 20:14:15 2016 <NinjaPotato> oh, and hoverboards too please Mar 16 20:14:26 2016 <Lucifer_arma> and 24-hour bussing Mar 16 20:14:48 2016 <Lucifer_arma> they have bike racks on the buses, so if the bus coverage were better outside of central austin, it would be more feasible to live without a car Mar 16 20:15:22 2016 <Lucifer_arma> our answer has been more toll roads to alleviate traffic congestion. Which, of course, only helps cars. Mar 16 20:15:52 2016 <ct|kyle> we just sell out toll roads Mar 16 20:15:55 2016 <ct|kyle> our* Mar 16 20:16:01 2016 <NinjaPotato> for me the train to the nearest larger town is the best thing here Mar 16 20:16:09 2016 <NinjaPotato> we do even have a bus going there though Mar 16 20:16:21 2016 <NinjaPotato> although i'm faster with my bike than with that bus :p Mar 16 20:19:41 2016 <Lucifer_arma> I'm actually in Austin, and there just isn't the coverage we need. There's a few buses that come by here, and they all go downtown. Mar 16 20:19:42 2016 <Lucifer_arma> So if I wanted to ride the bus from here (in NW Austin) to a place five miles east of me, I have to ride 45 minutes downtown, catch another bus from there and ride another 45 minutes Mar 16 20:19:52 2016 <Lucifer_arma> that same file mile distance can be crossed on a bicycle in like half an hour (if I were riding regularly, which I'm not, right now) Mar 16 20:20:44 2016 <Lucifer_arma> we really need grid-like coverage, where the trains that we don't have are the primary downtown shuttles Mar 16 20:20:45 2016 <NinjaPotato> hmm that does suck Mar 16 20:21:09 2016 <Lucifer_arma> on the flip side, in the same two 45 minute bus rides, I can almost anywhere in SOUTH Austin Mar 16 20:23:00 2016 <Lucifer_arma> and anyone who lives in cedar park has to actually drive to the train stop. It's on the southeast corner of the city. Mar 16 20:23:20 2016 <Lucifer_arma> but most of them work in NW Austin, where you might have noticed the train doesn't go Mar 16 20:23:52 2016 <Lucifer_arma> it's ridiculous. The entire metropolitan area hit 2 million people a few years back. Mar 16 20:25:37 2016 <Lucifer_arma> I just used Google Now to get a distance so I can calculate my wife's eta :) Mar 16 20:25:46 2016 <Lucifer_arma> (She'd be getting here a lot faster if the Texas Triangle were connected with high speed rails, since she was in San Antonio) Mar 16 20:42:28 2016 <Lucifer_arma> it's really depressing looking at the map as it is now :( Mar 16 20:47:13 2016 * NinjaPotato has quit () Mar 16 20:50:11 2016 * Lucifer_arma has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) Mar 16 20:51:25 2016 * Lucifer_arma (~Lucifer_a@cpe-66-68-59-243.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #armagetron Mar 16 21:28:27 2016 <Lucifer_arma> ]ping Mar 16 21:28:28 2016 <ljrbot> pong Mar 16 21:29:04 2016 <ct|kyle> pong Mar 16 21:30:43 2016 <Lucifer_arma> not doing a 2 on 1 pong Mar 16 21:35:29 2016 * nelg-bot (~nelg-bot@45.52.235.236) has joined #armagetron Mar 16 21:35:30 2016 * nelg-bot has quit (Changing host) Mar 16 21:35:30 2016 * nelg-bot (~nelg-bot@unaffiliated/amaroknelg/bot/nelg-bot) has joined #armagetron Mar 16 22:33:37 2016 * ct|kyle has quit (Remote host closed the connection) Mar 16 23:40:48 2016 * sinewav (~Thunderbi@ip68-7-71-95.sd.sd.cox.net) has joined #armagetronView entire month
is a site that has tools, maps, and other various items. It orignally only existed as a server control panel, but I slowly began adding stuff such as a homepage and tools.

This is an LLM-free zone. In general, I am unwilling to use (fight with) any form of "GenAI" to write code for me. So, for the forseeable future, everything on this site will continue to be written by a very silly goose (wait that's me honk honk) with some parts written by other humans as well (silly hu-mon) rather than any plausible-series-of-words token-eating machine. Even my libraries are out of date, and suddenly that's a good thing!
(Although the style has changed several times and content has been added and changed, the base of this site has barely been updated since 2015. But it Ain't Broke!)
This site is also occasionally tested with older browsers, but compatibility is not guarenteed. Although, if you have an old obscure browser and something isn't working that previously did, I guess you can tell me (nelg) about it...
