Don't Miss This Week's Live Chat

Max Maxfield

As always, this week's All Programmable Planet live online chat -- which will be held on Thursday, Feb. 14 -- promises to be a rip-roaring, fun-filled, roller-coaster thrill ride of thrust-and-parry ideas. (Only thrill seekers need apply.)

In our last chat, we had a fantastic time discussing a veritable cornucopia of tempting topics. Seriously, it was one of the most interesting, convoluted, and techno-weenie chats I recall here on All Programmable Planet. What? You missed that chat? Well, don't worry -- turn that frown upside down into a smile, because you can see our archived version of those discussions by clicking here.

As for this week's chat, the great thing about All Programmable Planet is that everyone has so much input and such interesting ideas that someone will set a conversational ball rolling, and everyone else will race around adding different thoughts and perspectives. I know that I, for one, want to... but, no, you'll just have to wait.

The chat -- which is similar to using an instant messaging system but actually employs your Web browser -- will commence at noon my time (Central USA Time), which is 1:00 p.m. ET, 10:00 a.m. PT, and 6:00 p.m. UTC/GMT. You'll have to work out your local time from these clues, or you can use this handy-dandy Time Zone Converter.

All you have to do is click here to join the fun and make your opinions known. If you aren't already a member of All Programmable Planet, now would be a perfect time to register.

C U there. B there, or B square.

@Warren: Did you see the episode of The Big Bang Theory where Leanord first moves in with Sheldon and is signing the roommate agreement, and one of the caluses is that if either invents a time machine they will return to that moment in time within 10 seconds -- so they both stand there waiting for 10 seconds... I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!

Re: Interesting / thought-provoking image of the week
If you only need one more component for your time machine quickly go out to your storage shed and look. It will be there because you went back in time and put it there so you would find it and complete your time machine. Just remember sometime in the future to go back in time and put the missing piece in the shed (after making a copy of it so you can return to the future safely). Might as well leave some investment tips too...

Now by induction you could do this with the n-1 component as well. And n-2. etc...

Time travel is so much fun.

@Crusty: It's amazing how far a London Underground pension stretches..

The least we can hope is that you get free travel on the Underground (or you get to ride in the driver's cab :-)

@Crusty: ...number one son is guesting at Crusty Mansions,

That does have a decided ring to it -- I'm assuming supper will be served in the Great Hall after which the gentlemen will retire to the library...

@Max,Brian:

Well the fatted calf will undoubted be slaughtered this week. As number one son is guesting at Crusty Mansions, while he learns how to make a Long Bow at the Weald and Downland Open air museum. Maybe from Monday onwards venison will be on the menu, if his archery skills are up to it.

Yes and you are right the washing up will be calling.

Re: Interesting / thought-provoking image of the week
@Brian: Hmmm...  Precognition?  :-)

Or time-travel -- maybe I eventually find the last component i need for my time machine, go back in time and tell myself about our wireless propeller beanies (thereby spawning an alternate universe), and this is me and a friend at an earlier age doing the best we can to get a head-start implement CapNet using the technology available at the time ...

 

That certainly seems to be the most realistic option...

@Brian: I wonder what Mrs. Crusty will be making for the meal...  :-)

I don't know, but I can take a really good guess as to who will be doing the washing up :-)

@Max: Re: two future members of All Programmable Planet

This looks like an older photo -- maybe they are past APP members [pre-APP] who foresaw the future as well as the need for official headgear... 

Hmmm...  Precognition?  :-)

Hey Max,

I will not be able to make the chat - I will be traveling this Thursday - sorry.  I wonder what Mrs. Crusty will be making for the meal...  :-)

Have fun!
