LOL.  Interesting approach to generating interest in your software.  Your slogan should be: "LaserBoy does stuff."  :)

Maybe we can all get together real early Saturday morning and come up with a skit to perform on stage about how cool it is to use Spaghetti and LaserBoy.

Dude!

All the world is a stage.....

The place is crawling with "characters".  8)

There's PLENTY of "acting" and "high drama" going on there the whole time!  ;) ;D

DAZE Before SELEM !!!  ;D

As usual, Dean called me up and asked his famous litany of questions...

It's all F-ed up!  %)

I wish I had gotten some more testing and reporting on the text reading and writing stuff...

Anyway, I'm looking at some of that now.

I fixed a bunch of color / palette issues. I made the "black level" setting more effective. I added some new functions that directly effect wave files. LaserBoy is starting to become much more of an 8 channel wave environment than ever before! Maybe that's because I now use an 8 channel DAC!  ;) ;D

I should be releasing it again very soon!

I also have plans to add yet another feature to LaserBoy that will be the first of its kind in the laser industry! It might be done before SELEM!

James.  :)

Over at PL it sounds like they are worried about trouble starting.   Hmm.  Are they worried about a PL vs LaserBoy forums turf war?  I guess I better bring my num-chucks and brass knuckles.  :)  Who's got my back?

Wow -

THAT kind of attitude should bring out the warm welcome between members of "this" site and "the other" site!!

Interesting how the big SELEM event has been opened up to everyone interested in attending, yet the only negative comments being posted are coming from members of THIS forum.

WTF is up with that?  Why do you guys even bother to attend, if that is really the way you feel?

As far as "turf war" - nah, it's just about getting together and having fun shooting lasers - but I would be willing to bet that the majority of the rigs there will be powered by Pangolin...

BTW -

I think if you'll read Buffo's comments in their entirety on "the other" site, you'll see he explained the liability issues as the reason he felt necessary to post his concerns. Also, concerning the skit, a full schedule of events has been posted, including where they will be presented.  Keep in mind that the events were selected by vote of the active members of that forum.

And yeah, the "photo-ops" should be entertaining, along with all the additional "acting" and "high drama" you guys choose to bring along.

Geez, it looks like you guys need to get a life, and focus more on what your software can do, and less on the "us" versus "them" BS.
Just an observation....

Not sure who you are but if you can't tell I was joking you should just go back to where you came from.  It was on PL that there was a bunch of drama about someone possibly causing trouble and warning about police involvement, etc, etc.  I am starting to think I should just stay home.

Do you really think I was serious about putting on a stupid skit?  Geez.  Get a sense of humor.

Perhaps you're not aware of all of the things that led up to why this forum even exists.

I was at SELEM last year. So were some of the other members here.

I'm snotty because I am the creator of LaserBoy.

If you don't get that, too bad.

My goal is to ruin everything by creating useful software that does things that no other software can do and give it away for free. I am an evil person.

I have not written anything negative about seeing anyone or being present at SELEM.

So piss-off.

Hope to see you there!  ;D

James.  :)

PS. I almost forgot.....

Wecome to the LaserBoy Forum!  ;D

Nah, it wasn't about the comment about the num-chucks and brass knuckles, it was just the ever-lasting "us" versus "them" attitude that some of you have maintained, sometimes quite openly, sometimes subtlety, since leaving PL, even though that type of banter has pretty much disappeared on that site.

And the comment about the skit - knowing it was a joke, duh - was more of a gentle reminder that the SELEM meet will be HEAVY into synchronized multi-projector  - and heavily Pangolin-driven - shows.  Evidently, that was quite an issue last year with some of the folks now on this forum, based on some of their acidic post-SELEM commentary last summer.

Nobody is - or ever has - knocked the software efforts from anyone now on this site.  However, the "us" versus "them", anti-Pangolin, anti-ILDA, stance you guys continue to take gets tiresome. 

It's one thing to take that stance on this little web site, but when you bring that attitude to SELEM, that is another matter entirely.  Many of us rearrange, plan, and spend a lot of time and money to get ready for this once-a-year event.  Most of are very happy with the fact that we have the top leadership from ILDA and Pangolin willing to show up and freely give demonstrations & presentations that are generally only available at events that would cost much more to attend.

So all the snide comments aside, if you guys could show up with Laserboy, Spaghetti, etc. and just hang out and enjoy the lasers, I think eveyone will have a good time.  However, if you're going to show up with that "us" versus "them" chip on your shoulder, I'm sure most of us would prefer you just kept that BS at home.

And thanks for the welcome, BTW... :)

Yeah. I get it.

I plan on wearing my fire-proof hazmat suit.

"Nobody is - or ever has - knocked the software efforts from anyone now on this site"

This might be somewhat true; but I have certainly taken a beating over being absolutely honest and correct, with proof.

What's wrong with a little "industry competitive bragging"?

Is that you Bill?  :P

If you are genuinely concerned about this, please feel free to call me right now.
