DISQUS

HELP!!!!
i can't seem to get my own photo on there it just won't work...

please help me!!!!!!

Haha, I saw that page as well. :)

The delay in it was just enough for me to send it to all of my friends before the "incident" happened :)

Wow great work mate, it's really coming together!

It must be awesome to be where you are at after working on it for so long. I have been meaning to check out MSRS for ages now and seeing someone else use it successfully is really inspiring. I already use Visual Studio 24x7 for my dev so developing stuff for it would probably be quite easy.

How did you import the mesh etc for your model into it? Was it the dxfs from your cad package?

Have you noticed anything particularly annoying/awesome about it?

 Keep up the good work :) 

wow this is incredible... so inspiring... I'm going tp be using this kind of idea of a flat surface being brought to life for an art project of mine... but I will just be painting it on paper as i dont have skills that come close to these guys when painting on a street and making it look so fantastic!

Hehe, coincidence? I think not... :)

To Anonymous above, I know that is you Ed you son-of-a-mofo :)

Ed (who I work with) keeps telling me that a string on a motor is a better way to do it.

My ancestors didn't crawl out of the oceans all those years ago to recreate the most fundamental experiment the human universe has ever seen with a light on a string man! :)

Also I dont want people at the pary to lose their limbs when they try to touch it :)

Hehe sorry, forgot to mention that I had to blow away the entire DB in the end because it automatically upgraded it when I installed Wordpress 2.6. That's why you couldn't log in.

For testing you can sign in using:

user: test

pass: test1234

That will give you enough to start posting stuff and seeing how it works. Note that the visual editor is currently disabled for some reason and it will look a lot nicer once I get it turned back on.

I'll run the sync script tomorrow when I get home from work.

 

 

 

Holy crap dude, the website has blown up. WTF???

Does this comment take up the whole screen for you??

Here's a linux distro that seems to be focused towards running nicely on the Beagle and other small devices.

Actually that reminds me, I finally saw a copy of Robot Magazine in my (semi) local newsagent (The awesome MagNation in the CBD). Good to see these sort of mags finally making it all the way over here!

i like it

That's awesome :)

Can you point me to the link where you bought those cameras from? I have been looking for some cheap stuff to put around my house as part of my universal facial/gait detection system I am working on off and on.

Put up a vid when you get it processed, I would love to see the results of your stuff so far! Also particle filters are another technique I have seen used in robot navigation a lot. I haven't looked into them a heap but they seem to be another way to integrate multiple sensors in a sensible way.

Also, I saw a video of the finished version of the tracked chassis you posted above (I am pretty sure it's that one). Impressive!

You are right :)

It works for me in FF3 but running it on browsershots.org it seems to fail on 2.0... How strange!

haha :)

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll work on it this week and let you know.

You wrote: “While I do not believe Adam's first sin was his silence (God never judges or rebukes him for this) I do believe men are guilty of silencing their God-given partner....”




First, God did judge Adam for his silence. Within God’s judgment for Adam’s sin of silence is God’s rebuke for Adam remaining silent and not reminding Eve that to eat of the tree was to disobey God.



Just as in God’s judgment regarding Eve is God’s blaming her for allowing herself to be deceived.



You make an unwarranted assumption that God would have had to make a statement detailing Adam and Eve’s sins within some precise outlining of them before a Bible reader can know that Adam’s sin was silence AND open rebellion to what God had told him (and Eve) NOT to do in the garden.



God didn’t name Eve’s precise sin of being deceived when He judged them for their disobedience either (He didn’t deny that she was deceived when that was her explanation for why she had disobeyed Him, but He didn't rebuke her for that precise part of her sin).



God didn’t rebuke Adam’s lie that God was to blame for his sin, either. In Adam’s excuse for why he had sinned was that it was God’s fault because if God hadn’t given him Eve, he wouldn’t have sinned.



The historical reality is that their sin of rebellion had several sins inherent in the act of disobeying God.



Re: Freedom in the Body of Christ -- Women have every right to do anything a man makes the decision to do in/among the body of Christ.



There are no masters or leaders in the New Covenant. That is what Jesus taught in Matthew 23.



Only Jesus Christ is our master or leaders. We are ALL servants in the church.



Every act of service is a voluntary “going along” in order to meet the needs of fellow-members or to preach to unbelievers.



We do not go along with anyone who asks us to act outside the morality of Jesus Christ (we are slaves to no one).



Paul (writer of Christian letters) is the best friend of women. He has not denied their right of equality with men. In fact, he has stood along side their personal liberty under Christ.



Every teaching that presents a double-standard is not the teaching of Paul or Jesus (or any other writer of the New Covenant scriptures).



Every mistaught view about women comes from one thing... not accepting the teaching within context (consistently).



Women were not silent in the meetings nor were they silent outside of the meetings. Women taught men.



Women spoke publicly and those who challenged that as being right, were challenged by Paul as being incorrect.



Paul is far ahead of every generation and taught the perfect sexual equality of men and women (a concept that neither the secular or religious world has yet to understand and accept).



Just as the early powerbrokers within the growing Christian movement accepted the secular view regarding men and women, this view was accepted and re-interpreted into the early church.



It is time the Body of Christ accepts what Jesus taught and Paul affirmed in his teachings about the liberty under the New Covenant for both men and women.

Haha :)

 Does anyone actually "make" things with a Dremel?

It's more like a universal "make-the-bit-that-doesn't-fit--fit" tool as far as I am concerned.

I still don't have a glue gun yet which is the other part of the equation of course.... :)

Hey mate, looking into your post problem now. I haven't touched em! :)

Looking good Kym :)

Was that GPS unit from an actual satellite dish? Is that for an auto calibration function or something?

Hi guys, try viewing the video on the YouTube site itself.

Their embedding policy sometimes seems to make it seem as though it has been removed when you view the embedded version.

Also, cool pic! :) Is that a 360deg camera lens on there?

Hey Kym :)

Are they actually disappearing or not appearing in the first place?

They used to not get pushed to the front page automatically (not sure if that was what was causing the issue) but now they should show up straight away.

I couldn't see anything in the spam cache when I last checked but who knows that the hell is going on in the depths of Drupal's codebase :)

 

 

I wish the crowd had been fuller for Lupe. He was sick and more people deserved to experience it. He's a great preformer. I LOVED Pharrell and NERD. I thought they KILLED it. And Chris Brown on stage with them was cool too. I don't know where you were sitting, but my entire section was going CRAZY during "Spaz." I wasn't a fan of Rihanna. I thought the time it took to set her stage up was way to long, and the dancers and lights were too much. It wasn't her show. We were there for Kanye. And she did WAY too many slow songs. We were pumped up and wanted to dance! Not hear her cry about God knows what for 15 minutes. Rihanna is an incredibly talented artist, but I wish she had just come on with perhaps one or two dancers if she needed it, an outfit with MUCH less leather, and just sang her up-beat songs with as much energy as Lupe and N.E.R.D.
KanYe KILLED it. It was ridiculous. Maybe KanYe hid his band because it IS a one man show. KanYe is one of the greatest artists ever created. You never hear about his band. You never see his band. We were there to see the "greatest star in the universe," not four guys playing the guitar and a drummer. And with such an elaborate set, who would want to see the band, anyway? And with a sold out set, KanYe might as well be the brightest star. He's not being egotistic. He's being what he is, the best.

Hey mate :)

Yeah the plastic is regularly stocked in the art store. I have a feeling it is used for a lot of pre-school collages and the like :)

I bought it from Deans Art which is on 369 Lonsdale Street, Melb. I can't remember how much it was but it was quite cheap. It might be pretty cool for mocking up some upper body shapes over a stronger base piece.

I thought that the bot base I bought recently was made out of HDPE but looking at the Sintra description it might possibly be that. The plastic discs that make up the base are made out of something really light and strong that might be good material to use for your quadruped frame.

If weight is a concern then you could possibly consider building the structural frame out of sintra or something and then the upper body in something lighter.

Wow! So that was the gang you bought the robot dog from?

It sounds as if someone threw your highly important documents into a bin or something and then someone found it. Or do you think it was the actual guys you bought the product from?? I assume your bank will refund everything?

Funnily enough I am currently watching 'Insight' on SBS at the moment. Tonights episode is on identity fraud of all things :)

Good luck with the investigation!
