OT - I am a huge dork

[Ryan]

Working on some research and development at work and gotta crazy idea. I about shit myself when it actually worked...

My 21" flat panel seems really small now...

[Fraz]

Ah, the joys of having TV-out on your computer, plus the bonus of a nice big TV. Pretty schweet, ain't it?

[Broman]

Uhh.... like when I get all of the slobber off of my keyboard I am going to go wipe my ass, 'cuz I just shit myself when I saw that pic. I waste too much time here already !!!

[plan9]

hah, and i thought my 24 inch screen was cool... you went plasma!!

iam jealous, very very very jealous... you know, iam looking for a new family. daddy?

[Ryan]

That ain't tv-out homie... That's firewire - all digital... Running through a hybrid 528mb video card. That there is the future - TV merges with the internet. Full motion video from a streaming server loads in seconds and is every bit of DVD quality.

Like I said, shitting my pants...

[Unkl Ian]

Can that be done with a regular TV,or does it have to be a megabux flatscreen plasma deal?

[Ryan]

Ohh and BTW, that ain't my plasma... It's at home for some R&D I am doing... Gotta take it back to work next week... That part sucks.

uhhh, where do you work?? i want to shit my pants as well http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

528mb on the card, simply delicious!!!!! what are the specs besides 528mb?

[Ryan]

I work at a technology consulting company... Some people say it's an advertising agency, but I refuse to call it that.

Video card is a mess. It's an ATI prototype with 528meg of Ram, Firewire out, pure digital, etc... Resolution gets crazy: 4096x3072 @ 100hz

[Fraz]

(jealousy) You suck. I'm talking Blue Whale type suckage here. (end jealousy)

[Deyomatic]

Do you ever have problems with your wireless router? I got the same one and every now and then it acts up and the "satelite" computers won't get a good signal.
Linksys is par for the course when I call them for answers.

[Kevin Lee]

How come the work you're doing right now is so much cooler than the work I'm doing right now? I should be at home in my warm basement.

[Ryan]

Deyo, mine seems all good... From what I understand, they run best under windows xp.

Kevin, you need to come over this weekend holmes - we got some crazy mad fabrication shit going on with above plasma screen. You are gonna shit yourself too!

[4t64rd]

About 10 years ago I worked for a print shop that printed spec sheets for AT&T Paradyne products, they made (make?) commercial grade routers, modems, etc., I had illustrate a big poster of the schematic their room full of working prototype equipment. The head engineer took me in so I could sketch what the equipment looked like. He told me then, that the future was on-demand movies from the internet. getting closer and closer everyday.

Sell your "Blockbuster" stock!!!!

[Kevin Lee]

I like the fabrication - and shitting my self would be a fine bonus. Let me know before the weekend when I should come over.

[Deyomatic]

Thanks for the info. I know I'm not going to try calling them again.

[plan9]

awesome ryan, would be nice to have that card as a production piece... i could do most of my work solely on the card while rendering on the CPU's!

[SLAMIT]

You know it is funny I am reading this post saying to myself what the fuck are you guys talking about. All these numbers dont mean shit to me I am not impressed at all. Then I think about all the people that Hear me bullshittin about rods and then I am wonderin if they are sayin the same to them selves. I guess that it goes for any hobbie. I found it very humorous though.
By the way ryan your car looks great in the new rod and custom (dirty bastard) He He. Send me some more pics of that thing if you got em I love it.
Later

[Fat Cat]

Oh thats nothing. My new 52" HDTV has a built in web browser. All I have to do is plug it into my LAN and set down on the couch with the keyboard/mouse/remote and surf the net, including the HAMB. I can also watch TV on a screen about 14" diagonally and use the rest to surf the net.

It sucked 2 months ago when it desided to break and allow all the smoke out of the electronic parts. It took RCA 2 months to replace all the smoke. Some of it was on back order.

[Friday's Gurl]

Yeah, what he said.

Reminds me of when my dad got a 60" projection TV - what's the VERY FIRST thing we did after it was delivered?

Hooked up the Nintendo.

you have waaaaay too much time on your hands man!

[C9]

Dork, dork, dork, dork of Earl, Earl, Earl, Dork of Earl....

Too cool Ryan - the optometrists are gonna hate you.

[Kommuter]

Yea, you're a dork alright.

So are we, or we wouldn't be here.

And if you weren't such a big dork, we wouldn't have this cool playground to goof off in.

What we need is a few more dorks like you in the world. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

BTW, that is some coool stuff, dork. Thanks for making us so jealous, (even if I only about half understand it all).

[hankcash]

Ok, I'll start the bidding for that set-up at $20.
this is an auction right?

[LaGrasta]

I run my Powerbook on the tv all the time. I watch DVDs that way and play computer games too. It pipes through the sterio as well so I have HUGE sterio sound and a HUGE picture. I have yet to go plasma though.

[SamIyam]

That aint nuthin'! I hooked my 220 gigajiggle, to my 36" pro-master-silverstation to crossfeed the whatchacallit over to the big (for me) 330amp per minute mixmastergeneral...

You guys are killin me!

I am the equivalent to the "gas goes here, key goes there car person" when it comes to computers...

but I am impressed!
Sam.

[Smokin Joe]

So now you get to wear those taped black rim glasses, right! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Too bad Air Warrior is dead. You'd be in vultcher's paradise! Also, it'd be great diving on buffs over the pond and saying, "Here goes your left engine sucker" on the radio...BBRRRAAAAP! Grim Reapers rule! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

3000 HAMBERS just went "HUH???" http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Boones]

thanks for bumming me out.. My 14 black and white was cool until you showed that one...

you such a computer geek................

[Rocket88]

Is that the wide screen version of the HAMB?

[Gr8ballsofir]

You're not a Huge Dork, Ryan. You're a HUGE GEEK. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's screen's alright for a monitor but its a bit small for anything else...

A girl once told me that she preferred a bigger Dork over a small Dork...... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[burndup]

Do you actually LIKE that HM Aeron chair? I had one of those at my last place of employment, didn't like it... couldn't fall asleep in it. Wasn't all that comfortable. Had to re-adjust it every day... Course, I didn't have a lot of desk time...

To its credit, the Mesh surface is great for farting thru...

oh, wait, your back, thats right. Theres a company called Charvoz Dauphin out of germany or somewhere near that makes the worlds best ergo seating... beats herman miller in the comfiness per dollar ratio, too.... I used to assemble them for a distributor, when my back would get tired, I'd sit in it for like 5 minutes, and be as refreshed as I was when I had gotten up in the morning. good stuff.

[TWO]

That's not very trad. I think the HAMB looks best on my monochromatic black and green monitor.

[Smokin Joe]

Nuthin' more trad than a DP-90 black CPU. Bet his joystick has red buttons and trigger too... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">I may have bought the hole "Dork" thing before I met you.

Now i'm thinking........

DWEEB,

Yeah,

That's it! </font>

Gr8, That's my wallet!! HOT TOPIC, OHHH YEAAH!! lol.. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Yeah, I think I'm the real geek! But you know what a geek used to be right?! It was the "lost link" guy at the circus who ate live chickens! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[desertdroog]

Ryan is not kidding when he mentions the merger of tv and the net. Technology has advanced so well that they are able to take what looks like a pane of glass and project moving images through it... imagine a huge picture window with that can give your weed infested front yard a view of the grand canyon at sunset or an ocean view any time of the day. Or 10 foot vaginas for you porn freaks... breakfast will never be the same.

You should see what the military has been working on with the Internet2. Full streaming 3 hour movies that you can download in about 15 seconds.

We are moving towards the jetsons age every day.

Which is why driving old cars have that much more soul, especially when customized and hopped up.

Ok I heard someone mention Herman Miller. That shit I could talk about all day long. I was Furniture systems lead installer and part owner in a company for 3 years for that shit. Then the silicon Valley folded and I went to work for V.W. By the way I hated the aeron chair It was so uncomfortable But I loved my Equa chair best damn chair I ever sat in. But you are right you can fart real good through that mesh.
Oh fuck am I a Dork
Cool
