Some OT questions to the DEV's (for afterwork)

[Warper]

Hi Scawen, Eric and Vic

i have some questions a bit away from the main LFS part. Maybe you get some time to answear them. But another chance is (the reason why i'm posting in this board) to get an answer from some well informed fan boys :) over here.

1.) Communication
How are you communicating between each other in the "devteam". By video-conferencing? Only by phone, chat, mail? I don't think you all are living really close to each other, right? At least not all of you...

2.) Office/Workplace
It would be really interesting to see the holy machines LFS is developed on, or maybe your workplace. Are you working at home? I know, these questions are maybe a bit "private" - but then just don't answer :)

Would be nice to get some information, would be just nice to know.

Greetings from Germany

1. I'd guess they are just using e-mail and phone.

2. Here are two pics of Scawen's gaming PC:

Oh, I was waiting for something similar to GrandSurf's cockpit setup. :D

[three_jump]

nah, this is more or less the way I expected it...
clamps, a wooden board, beams sticking out, just looks natural and rough (and a bit like the man himself ;)).
But also professional like the racing seat and the exalted pedals.... and the widescreen

It's looking "different", but I'm sure its awesome when you sit there and drive :D

Thanks for the information Flo. But i don't think that scawen is developing on this seat and with this table :) Maybe there is something more...

And you think they are only using phone and email? Would be really hard to communicate i think. Atleast a bit circumstancial wouldnt it?

Greetings

[StanleyCarter]

hmm, interesting topic, now that you've brought it up, I'm curious on how they communicate with each other in developing LFS too, would be interesting to know more :P

[SlamDunk]

Phone and E-mail? Why not just one of those private IM clients (not MSN etc.) with a voice & video feature? Cheaper and more efficient :)

[Hyperactive]

I bet they are using telepathy... :scratchch

[tristancliffe]

I bet they never talk to each other, and they have to keep up with whatever 'promises' the others suggest. So Victor will say "Aero patch coming soon" and Scawen will read it and say "Shit, better start making one". Then Scawen will say "LFSW is getting a big update" and Victor has to run around like a madman making it happen...

Eric talks to no one, so he just gets on with it and emails the results to Scawen occasionally :p

ROFL, ROFL, ROFL

Yeah the, and I quote, "Apart from the aerodynamic and tyre improvements, there might be an interesting surprise." means "OK, some peeps been complaining about those things for a while, so I'll give Scawen a month to sort it out. I dunno what Eric has been up to for the past 8 months, so let's call it a "surprise" and lets hope he can cook something up " :razz:

I think it's remarkable they've been able to work for what, 5 years like this.

Now seriously, I'm pretty sure they're telepatically linked to each other, their minds are one. Like Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit... Theyre all the same, but they all are different...

I really should stop drinking now...

What are drinking, btw?

[Forbin]

Absinth. Or so it would seem.

[PLAYLIFE]

Always meant to try it. Is it as different as they say?

What I finds I drinks

student... are you!?

No idea, never tried it myself. Pretty sure it's illegal in my country.

[filur]

At the height of its popularity, absinthe was portrayed as a dangerously addictive, psychoactive drug and similarly banned in other European countries and in the United States. In fact, high alcohol content and a suggestive reputation are now considered to be its most active ingredients. A modern-day absinthe revival began in the 1990s, as countries in the European Union began to reauthorize its manufacture and sale.

High alcohol content, psychoactive drug, whatever, we have it (http://www.systembolaget.se/SokDrycker/Produkt?VaruNr=762). :)

lol... from lfsforum.net just turned from an autosport simulation BB to a "High alcohol content, psychoactive, illegal in many countries drug, " pedling business :D:D Soon to be closd by da authorities... :razz:


P.S. Thanks for the nfo.

Well apparently you're not really supposed to drink it neat, like you would with a shot of vodka. Which I wish someone had told me before I tried it...

[PLAYLIFE]

lol. The main reason I never bought it was I wouldn't know what to do with it. So WHAT is the procedure?

[STROBE]

Errr, tbh I'm not sure. :p I vaguely recall something about using a teaspoon and warming it and letting it partially crystalise. Then again, whoever told me that may have been worse for wear himself and getting confused with crystal meth...

ROFL, funny how i could definatly see that!! ":D

Me want Scrawen's dingy.

errr... not sure what u have in mind when you say "dingy" (and probably don't wanna know) but please do stay on topic, I'm sure "Scrawen's dingy" has nothing to do with absinthe at all...

[szyszek]

Totally agreeing. I really was interested in an answer to my two little questions... :(

As far as I know, you put teaspoon of sugar in it, then set on flame the whole drink, take off flames and drink it:) .
At least that is what I can remember of that night:)

Couple of bottles from my collection. Absinthe almost got me six feet under last year as I passed out and nearly choked in my vomit. Haven't drank a drop of alcohol since then. Drink responsibly kids! Btw you can see part of another collection of mine: rotting stuff.
