Me and janga changed it to irc.ruin.net based on some inconveniences at austnet.
Check.
Right, and it's still #nerfchat
But, if wtrent doesn't comply, for SOME wierd reason, we'll have to burn his house down, and steal his favorite shoes. Lets hope it doesn't come to that
*janga beat me to it

Not really exact, but it's useful if you're just playing around.

#853 Counter-strike And Other Hl Mod Players Here!
Posted by Cadmond on 24 January 2003 - 02:05 AM in Off Topic
NS is incredibly fun when you get a good game (no lag.. even-ness)
Other than that, I play FA ALOT these days, probably 1-4 hours a day (addicted .) ... yeah.. I need to get up and go outside. If anyone gets FA, and wants to play me, I'll most likely be at The Downward Spiral, The Armory, or Fluffy's Clan Server. I really like the variety of weapons in the game, and the reduction of whorage, though it's still there (stupid freaking accurate famas)
Oh, and I go by Cadmond in any mod I play.
#18292 Swat Homemade
Posted by Cadmond on 05 February 2004 - 08:21 PM in Homemades
Maybe a cup of tea too..
Question, what kind of homemade scope? Just like, 2 strings and a piece of tubing, or.. other sorts.. the cooler sorts.
#29720 Seattle?
Posted by Cadmond on 28 June 2004 - 12:20 AM in Nerf Wars
I prefer obstacle full parks, and I dislike schools (concrete, kids playing basketball getting in the way, whatever)
Choose one or the other, and I'll try to list some.
Btw, what happened at whitman?
#33084 Stefan Dart Maker
Posted by Cadmond on 04 August 2004 - 02:42 AM in Homemades
The only hard (hardest) part I can think of for this (langley kicked CNC into my mind) is the programming, and drilling a baseboard to hold 10x10 (20x20, 30x30, whatever the hell you want) stefan blanks. Oh, and the monies.. always the monies. Monies for the linear bearings, for the machine shop (if you're like that,) for the electronics, for the extra things you'll buy for yourself during this project so you can feel like a pretty little girl again .... *cough*.. Cutting stefans is easy.. very easy.. I don't think that is needed in the system, but glueing, and whatnot, is much more annoying.
So yeah, CNC glue gun. Basically, a cheapened this with maybe a sinker dispenser, swirling peltier top domer, ect, ect, blah blah blah.
*Prepares for the ridicule and yelling*

#4141 Life...
Posted by Cadmond on 29 April 2003 - 04:38 PM in Modifications
You so crazy.. but if you are serious, I could make a simple diagram. Uh.. if you are.Oh, and the token on-topic note; While my dress shoes (also my walking, running, biking, dancing, and hiking shoes) are so conveniently separated from their soles, I'm going to either insert a steel plate in there (Nails are annoying), or install some kind of spring-loaded knife apparatus... For the sporatic monkey knife fights, of course. Anyone have some suggestions of stuff to work into there while they're apart? The soles are about an inch thick or so at the heel, and 2.5cm at the front, so I could fit something in there... It seems like a waste to just fix them.
You're not going to put some kind of poison that kills in 6 seconds on the tips of these knives, then work for some evil supervillian bent on taking over the world, are you?
#4065 Life...
Posted by Cadmond on 27 April 2003 - 11:49 PM in Modifications
Oh, and I stay the hell away from modding electronics.. I don't know enough about them. Wish I did.
To tell you the truth, I can't think of a bloody thing I've actually modified, as in, in my definition, improved with the deduction and addition of material. I know I have, I just can't remember. It's either fixing, or scratch building that I do the most.
Usually scratch building.. and with me staying away from electronics, it's fairly easy. I gave my mother a garden shovel I built a day or 3 ago. It's shiney ;D
If it counts, I'm painting my cd case (medium hard plastic, round, opens like an accordian) black and white checkers. Zero, you know what I'm talking about... and yes, I have a lot of time on my hands.
Ughh, the fact that I haven't modified much is getting on my nerves! my nerves.. hmmmmm .... Yeah, I'm going to go give my sketchbooks some holders.

#32572 New Ipod
Posted by Cadmond on 29 July 2004 - 02:04 AM in Off Topic
But that part isn't really important. The part I'm getting to, is that I bought a minidisc inbetween those 2 cd players, and loved it. 5 cds in 1/4th the size of 1! Of course, it ends up being a fancy mp3 cd player, but woah ho ho! Look at this!
So, doing the math, we have a 200 dollar minidisc player, vs a 300 dollar ipod with 20 GB capacity.. I don't know who actually fills them up all the way.. but for math's sake, lets say so.
100 dollars difference, and 6 dollars a gig for the MD, and Ipod wins by 20 dollars. But you can easily pocket some of the 100 difference, and live off 3 gigs for a while. Or wait till they sell the HI-MD discs in bulk, instead of one at a time.. which I doubt they'll do any time soon.
Also, they can apparently record video.
But that just confuses me.
Anyways, I dislike sony as well, because its products only work with 98SE + (as does everything these days D: ) so if you don't like the alternative, oh well.
(By comparison, you can get a 100 dollar mp3-cd player, and then buy 30-ish 700 MBs cds for 50 cents each: 15 dollars worth of discs for 20 gbs, $185 saved. Of course, then you're lugging around 30 discs. Ipods might just be one of those "convenient" things. )

A penny a MB, weee!
While I disagree with ripping off artists, I disagree more with lieing about it... somehow.

#17233 4-barreled Crossbow
Posted by Cadmond on 26 January 2004 - 10:35 PM in Modifications
Sheesh, learn how to crop pictures.
Anyways, it's really black. But has only 1 (2) barrels.. you should tape another to it's side. And then grow huge hands, and .. stuff...
No, thats not what I meant!

However.. where's the automatic rotation? losers.
#23778 Construction
Posted by Cadmond on 08 April 2004 - 12:27 AM in Off Topic
I have a (nearly done) easel, some tools, and other junk up here that I built.. If someone would give me a proper sized chunk of steel, tongs and whatnot would be in there, but those are metal! bah..
I suck.. really bad.. at woodwork. Everything is way to thick in it, my holes are never straight (...) and I'm to cheap to buy a drill press... or a table saw. I'm surpised the easel works so far, along with that crappy stand for my large, unoperational, air cannon.
I'll tell you the trick. It's lots and lots of screws and nails. Yes.
But metal is alot better. I've got welding knowledge (wee! pencil holder) and those various other things. Metal is alot easier if you have the right tools.. and fortunately, I can mooch off the school shop unless I want to make a sword. They're dangerous, apparently.
#14809 American Faqs
Posted by Cadmond on 21 December 2003 - 12:36 PM in Off Topic
I'm a big fan of rugby, but was confused when I heard of another sport in australia very similar... If you know what I'm talking about, could you give it a name?
I've never been to Australia, so my opinion would hypothetical..
But I do like accents...

#36741 Archery
Posted by Cadmond on 08 September 2004 - 11:29 PM in Off Topic
What CX said.I've gone back to classic recurve bows.
It's kind of like stock class PB - at some point the state of technology advances past what's good for the sport.
I have a 35 pound bear polar (fiberglass composite) recurve (I was like 12 when I got it if you're about to throw question marks at the draw weight)
I haven't actually used it .. ever really. Never got a chance to go to the range after I bought it, and I'm scared that I'll kill someone if I shoot down the side of my house. I have tried to make 2 so far (after thoroughly engrossing myself in all 3 volumes of the bowyers bible for a year or something), the first one's limb snapped, the second one is sitting on my shelf waiting for tillering. Its too small now anyways.
So technically, I'm out of archery. I still find it fun (except not the olympics.. the mechanical releases were too far I say..)
#5995 Music Choices
Posted by Cadmond on 24 June 2003 - 10:12 PM in Off Topic
Pietasters, Aquabats, Mad Caddies, Hippos, Suburban Legends, Specials, Untouchables, The slackers, Ben Folds Five, The Chinkees (you just have to read along, makes the songs much better) Tilt, Bouncing Souls, and more!
exciting, isn't it?

Just wondering.
man, what a horrible first post.
#2957 CS Or DoD?
Posted by Cadmond on 04 April 2003 - 01:41 AM in Off Topic
As to the poll, DoD. I played CS during the earlier parts of my life (like back when the colt had a scope) and enjoyed it then, but when I came back to it, I saw everything was different, and I .. well, hated it. I've only played DoD a bit, but I loved what I played. MGs are funn..
#15572 Trigger Mods?
Posted by Cadmond on 03 January 2004 - 12:24 PM in Modifications
But anyways, I used to wrap the springs in ribbon and then tape... you could just put hotglue there too, as you've said.
Just find a way to make the spring on the trigger a rigid thing, with no tendencies to compress (well.. a great deal,) and you're done.
Doesn't really reduce the trigger pull.. Just makes it more responsive.
#19819 Do You Hate The Riaa As Much As I Do?
Posted by Cadmond on 25 February 2004 - 01:11 AM in Off Topic
To simplify and restate
Sampling = Good
Stealing = Bad
Nazi = Bad
Music = Good
Poor starving musicians = Bad
Amazon sampling system = Very bad
Saying you have nothing better to spend 10 dollars on because you can = bad
Paying more than 10 dollar for a cd = stupid
C'mon kids, do your bloody research.
#5208 Reggae
Posted by Cadmond on 01 June 2003 - 11:00 PM in Off Topic
But they're good.. listening to them right now in fact.
(actually, I'm sure I'm wrong on the former point, and that they do go a bit reggae-ish on some songs..)
As for reggae, I'm sure I'd enjoy it if I listened to it more. The most I hear is the reggae that the pietasters play (which isn't really much.)
#19899 Do You Hate The Riaa As Much As I Do?
Posted by Cadmond on 25 February 2004 - 09:41 PM in Off Topic
I would have to agree that alot of record labels are simply calling it money now-a-days, and somewhat throwing it around willy nilly. Seriously, there are lots of jobs you can be in not for the money, but for the cool things you can do, if you want to. But it's not always a given.
The people that have posted so far seem to be oblivious to the power of the internet. The very thing you're using right now! Because of it, I can buy cds from England no problem! And sure, you'll miss out on lots of music, because the internet hasn't really affected all regions yet, but the traditional way? You're just screwing yourself up the ass with the traditional way. Hell, you probably can't get out of english speaking countries with it. The new way, even comes with a low, low price, even with shipping. Less middlemen, really.
Also, on the topic of independent labels.
They've worked for me. They don't have to sell through bestbuy, or barnes and noble (talk about ripoffs) and they offer new, good music. They aren't in it for the money, the labels. Nor are most artists. Why?
Because it's art! They handle it with care. It's not something to get rich from, it's something to be heard, not something that needs a producer, label, industry, but just an audience. Christ people, we're talking about something that's supposed to be fucking beautiful, and you're more concerned with paying 10 dollars, than getting goosebumps.
Bastards aren't trying hard enough.
#32187 The Ultimate Site For Homemades!
Posted by Cadmond on 23 July 2004 - 01:54 PM in Homemades
But beside that, this site is useless.
That, and you can make your own castings, milling machines, ect to do this with. You just have to have some ambition.
Well, that and there are local machine shops that generally charge less.
