Hi there! I’m the guy behind you in line. We should know each other pretty well by now, considering I’ve been standing back here with my roll of Tums for about half an hour.

No, please… take your time arguing with the guy at the cash register. I’m enjoying all the headlines of the magazines in the rack. I mean, who knew Demi Moore was having Pauly Shore’s lovechild? That info will come in really useful for me at my weekly housewives bridge game. You know how we love to gossip! Continue reading…

Dear Creepy Street-Corner Mime,

I just want a word to explain to you why I reacted the way I did when you playfully “discovered” an invisible wall in front of me on the street the other day. I admit that kicking you in the testicles and running away screaming like a girl was an indecorous reaction, but it’s important to me to explain myself before you pass judgment on me.

We’re working on a new version of the VX-7 Scorpions (1.2), and we’ve added a new muzzle flash option.  Wanted to give a quick preview so folks could have a chance to comment:

The new muzzle flash options: "Anime" (lower) and "Standard" (upper)

Personally, I like the “Anime” style a lot better; it’s more refined and makes better use of glow.  However, we’re leaving the “Standard” muzzle flash as an option for those who prefer a more realistic feel or who don’t have glow enabled (both use glow, but “Anime” looks ghastly without it, whereas “Standard” looks okay).

What do you think?  Which should be the default option?

• Ah, product release days. Both lovely and horrific. #
• LittleSnapper = meh. Give me Skitch any day. Completely counter-intuitive interface, missing key features, and $40? Forget it. #
• @torley To give you a way to exercise off the calories in reply to torley #
• Really liking @tweetie for Mac. Missing a dedicated refresh button, and $15 is a bit steep, but I’ll probably end up paying it, damn it. #
• @isfullofcrap It’s perfectly rational to fear gay marriage. After all, if homosexuals get married, then… then… nope, no effect on me. in reply to isfullofcrap #
• @isfullofcrap well, maybe i’d *finally* get to be a flower girl. in reply to isfullofcrap #
• @cliofurie I’ll sell tickets. in reply to cliofurie #
• @Ancyru Well, there’s really no way to do realtime, as Twitter would have to push updates to the software. Its API is based on requests. in reply to Ancyru #
• @tweetie You might want to try some less compelling ads. I’ve found 4 or 5 useful ads so far; tempted to stick with the free version. #
• @Ancyru and what, exactly, are you DOING TO THAT GHOST?!? in reply to Ancyru #
• @designworklife it’s easy. Just click mark all as read and resign yourself to the loss of a few outdated lolcats and lifehacker articles. in reply to designworklife #
• Finally launched: TE.LEPORT.ME HUD: http://tinyurl.com/c7yxwf #
• I don’t get the appeal of LittleSnapper for iPhone any more than I do for the Mac. $3 and it doesn’t do anything you can’t do for free. #
• I mean, really. It takes pics, snaps webpages, and uploads. All of which you can easily do on the iPhone already, so what was my $3 for? #
• @Ancyru uh-huh. sure. in reply to Ancyru #
• @torley yeah, but take the “le” out and you get stab! in reply to torley #

I got this question from ‘taurus:’

I noticed you managed to get the new te.leport.me hud to work on no script land.  I was wondering if you’d tell us how you did this and if you plan to equip your other items with whatever loophole you used here.

I’m actually kind of embarrassed to have overlooked this on the release, but I’m glad we got it worked out now.

Basically, there’s a small, intentional hole in the no-script land restriction, and that hole is the control event.  The no-script restriction is designed to allow things like flight enhancers and animation overriders to continue working, so the parcel assumes that an attachment running a control event is one of those things and allows it to continue operating.

• @Ancyru Dude, IE6? That’s like 8 years old, which in Internet years is roughly 472. in reply to Ancyru #
• @Ancyru That saber thing is my 13 y/o self’s perfect fantasy. ‘Course, I’ve moved on to more adult pursuits, like Firefly and net porn. in reply to Ancyru #
• @torley you had mp3s when you were 16? Christ that makes me feel old. in reply to torley #
