Geeks In Space Hiatus
Geeks in space is on an indefinite hiatus while we sort out the (ahem) issues surrounding continuing production while we are located in 3 cities and 2 time zones. Since Hemos's wedding and move to boston, and Nate's move to california to continue work on Everything 2, that leaves CowboyNeal and I all by ourselves. When we figure out a good way to continue the show, we will. If you have solutions, let us know. Perhaps now is the time to start streaming and switch to a live broadcast with an IRC simulcast. But we're still thinkin'
Get a phone bank, have people call in. Then, for the first 20 minutes of the show, people can call in and say "First Call!" and hang up. This is fabulously interesting and exciting if you're in the 'First Post' crowd, and a guaranteed ratings grabber.
But seriously, although I'm sure that the delicate interplay of personalities was brought about by having everyone there, physically, can't you all just call in and record that way?
ZOMG I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS ON MACINTOSH VERSUS WINDOWS, VI VERSUS EMACS, AND HOW YOU'RE NOT A DORK
You need to do the same thing that the TV studios have been doing for years when a popular program runs it's course...
Spinoff Shows! Perhaps one about Nate's new job as a talk-radio psychologist, or one in which Hemos joins the army and annoys the heck out of Sargeant Carter.
Taco and CoyboyNeal can of course, begin production on GIS: TNG
If you've ever heard the Kevin & Bean show in LA, they sound like they are in the same studio when in fact one is on a remote island near Seattle. Seriously it sounds that good! The technology is there for everyone to work together. I don't know if this is a prohibitively expensive solution or not but it's certainly something to look into. You guys have great chemistry, though, and it would be a shame if you called it quits!!! Can't Dibona through something together for you guys?? I hope it all works out :-)
Have a Happy.
Well I guess I better unload all my conspericy theries...
Slashdot is out to take over the earth using Debian Gnu/Linux. There is a back door hidden in the Trasmedia chips and AMD chips and VA hardware that will alow CmdrTaco to transmit subliminal messages....
Geeks In Space is a test run of this idea.. Thow GiS dosn't accually use the back door sence you volentarly download the MP3 and lissen to them instead of having it flashed on your screen.
This is why Linux gets such poor graphics preformence. No Linux itself has no graphic defect but the hardware is triggered by Linux.
It won't work with Windows becouse any interfearence causes the system to crash.. this is why the BSoD... the screen is blue becouse that is where the subliminal message WOULD have been if the operating system hadn't crashed...
There is work in progress to make this work on BSD and Solarus as well...
Sun however refused to join in this conspericy as they are allready attempting to take over the world.
The Windows defect is due to the fact that Bill Gates recognised the branwashing and is attempting to stop it becouse it interfears with his own efforts to take over the world.
IBM is working with Linux knowing the efforts of Bill Gates will be discovered and in part allready has been uncovered. The Slashdot/VA/Transmeta/Linus/Debian consepricy has yet to be uncovered...
The Krull is a ruse... They are still busy inslaving The Torvela... They attack the Slashdot/VA/etc conspericy as target practace only...
Ok enough with that one....
Next
CmdrTaco is a Torvelian... He is part of the Krull resitence force.. A rebelion out to free the Cosmose from the tirany of the Krull...
RMS, ESR, even Linus are all a part of the rebelion and of vareous races...
Linus is from a race that evolved from flightless artic birds...
The Torvelian keep monkey like creatures as pets and often train them to do complex tasks like review Slashdot submitions...
ID is created by the trainning devision of the rebelion...The first person shooters are trainning us to be able to handle high powered wepons and shoot strange creates...
John Carmak is a Volak.. The Volak are a race of intelectual warlords... They often win battles with small things like sprikling aliminum dust around a secter of space before a battle... this dust messes with krull wepons and ship systems... and shorts out krull shields... The Krull have learned of this trick and have addepted accordingly.. so have the Volak.... Now they use Sand....
PS. Yes the Volak want the Krull to know... every time they discover this the Krull waist resorces refitting ships... while the Volak are allready prepaired....
IBM was founded by the Krull... in the late 1980s however the Krull needed to sell IBM to afford to refit ships (The Volak again) the rebelion bought IBM in the late 1990s and now use it to premote Linux etc...
VA, Andover etc were founded by the rebelion...
Bill Gates is human and mearly a pon of the Krull however Bill Gates outsmarted the Krull and have sence addapted the Krull plan for his own gains. He is therefor a threat to both the Krull empire and the rebelion... But no one knows exactly how to deal with him as he has Krull defence technology built into his home... no wepons so he modifyed the class 47 shilds... The normal class 47 allowed Krull wepons to shot out but lacking any such wepons the MS Shield has no shuch openning preventing any wepons fire eather way... This shield is impenitrable... unless Bill Gates house BSoDs....
Ok enough of that...
Next conspericy...
Someone is putting something in our water. There are no Krull.. no evil overlords or anything...
To make matters worse.. what they put in our water isn't making us delusional but PREVENTING us from going delusional... Humans as a race are natrally insain and need Tetracell white to keep us sain...
Some aliens are dumpping this into our water so we'll stay sain...
Now for the catch...
Caffine counter acts...... and beer increases the madness.. the side effect of the drug is it also reduces our intelect... You can see the dumbing down effect in some people....
The subspecies Geek are becomming more and more immunine to the drug every day...
It seems the dumbing down is more pronounced than the insaity...
Bill Gates hasn't had any tetracell in his life...
Nither has Linus... CmdrTaco... and I am compleatly immune to it....
Also air is the narcotic causing the madness...
A few more quicky conspericys
We are all batterys.......
The real number of the beast is 3137
CmdrTaco, Myself, Bill Gates, etc etc. Bush, Al Gore and Dominos pizza are all part of a conspericy to prevent you from realising you are your own worst enemy and no one is accually out to get you exlcuding yourself so you don't have to accept the fact that in the end you alone are responsable for all your pains and all your successes.... We can't let you know that....
I don't actually exist.
