I'm not messing anything up.  I'm just stating publicly that I think that green nebula was very much out of line with what he posted and isn't on my good side right now.  I'm honestly looking forward to SELEM and meeting everyone... especially guys like Bill Bannar and Buffo who I have had differences with in the past... not to cause trouble but to bury the hatchet so to speak.  I know on forums people come across sometimes come across differently than they mean to so this is a chance to be real and get along.

But at the same time, what green nebula said above was just downright rude and uninviting and as of now he is the only person I DON'T look forward to seeing at SELEM.

Are you suggesting we all eat cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower before the event?  ;D

So are you dudes at SELEM now?  I need to square away a few things and I will be there first thing tomorrow.  I'm also going to drive by my old house that I lived in when I was about 4 yrs old.  It is only about 10 miles from where SELEM is.

Just got back, too.  Loved it!  Amazing! wish I had more time to work with this stuff.  Saturday was total over-stimulation.  I had a hard time going to sleep that night even though I was tired, Sunday felt like a laser hangover.  I didn't know that was possible

Gary.

I don't know exactly what to say or how to say it, but I am very sorry about how you were treated by Steve Roberts. I was right behind you when he made his comment.

I'm so disappointed by that incident, I can't even put it into words.

This was your first LEM ever.

Welcome to the laserist community!

Come on in and get personally called an idiot amongst your peers by the loudest mouth asshole in the whole bunch.

And rest assured, that he's one of the "good guys".

You are the trouble maker!

Remember?

Steve is constantly preaching ethics, etiquette, safety and all sorts of other puffed-up bullshit and he is the worst offender of all of the things he preaches about. I can't tolerate that anymore. I'm tired of just rolling my eyes in disgust.

I really wish I had a chance to get to talk to you and know you a little better. I was very impressed. You are obviously a nice, quite, (maybe a bit shy) person with a lot to offer. What I saw of your little projector was really nice. Please take some pictures of it and post them here for the rest of us see. I wish I could hold my RGB rig in one hand!

Both of us and drlava should have thought about it a bit more and just moved our show to the conference room at the inn. I really wanted to see you demo Spaghetti. I think we all might have had a great conversation about the technology in general.

I had a little bit of a chance to show LaserBoy to 300evil, Platinum and Imagelight. Steve and another guy was there. I guess it was DocJohn. I've never communicated with him before. Dean was there too.

I guess I learned a valuable lesson this time.

In general, people really DON'T understand how this stuff works!

My attitude has always been, "LOOK!!! It's so simple and straight forward! Why would you want to do it any other way?"

It's NOT simple or straight forward!

It seems like it's unanimous. If someone already has a laser controller and some software to go with it, they have no interest in LaserBoy.

I have a whole new game plan for the future.

I need to show it to people who have never seen laser show gear before and explain how it works to them.

I'm going to concentrate my efforts on getting together a group of local tech-artists. I think I already have a good start.

James.  :)

Gary,
Thank you for your time at SELEM. I will try to send the TTL source code tonight. I had a great time and learned so much about all of the different platforms.
It sounds like I missed a comment Steve made.

James,
I'm sorry I didn't get to see you on Sunday. I had to leave early to get home. I had to work Monday morning. It sounds like I missed your training session. That makes twice now. Now that my projector is running smoothly I plan to play around with LaserBoy more. Maybe I can pick up most of it on my own. I will call or post ant questions I may have.

Dr.Lava,
Thank you for helping me get Laseroids going. I've always thought of laser shows as something you sit and watch not an interactive real time game. I love it. Also thank you for spending time to explain SoS. I see tons of frames I want to use it on.

Dean,
Your abstract generator is great. It will be another tool in my arsenal used to create great laser shows. Thanks for the intro lesson.

It was great to see everyone again.
