<0> ~/o Another visitor. Stay a while... stay... FOREVER! o/~
<1> even if modules are up and running
<2> Viking667: *grin*
<1> ThomasM: I know dongles are wire...but it doesn work on my linux box at all -.- even if module is ok
<3> Lem0nCeltic: Take a moment. Organize your thoughts. Ask the question again. You have yet to make sense.
<1> sigh
<4> Lem0nCeltic, wireless stuff, especially Broadcom chipsets, are a bit rough to make fully operational on linux
<5> Lem0nCeltic, please go to http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html and pay careful attention to the suggestions there. It'll improve your chances of getting a useful answer.
<1> ok friends, thanks very much
<4> If you got Ubuntu, maybe I can help a bit, I succeded doing it on my laptop
<3> Lem0nCeltic: Want me to take a stab at interpreting your question without all the extra, confusing bits? "How do I get a WiFi USB stick to work with linux?" To which, we reply either "What WiFi USB stick?" And then, you say...
<0> Hi ThomasM
<3> Howdy Viking667
<0> What did you think of "Who Killed Johnny?"?
<6> hello men
<6> hello ***y men
<3> Viking667: I had to leave off on page 17 of 22 (will probably finish up tonight), but it's looking good.
<1> ZyDAS ZD1211 chip
<0> damn. That counts me out.
<0> be aware the last chapters are a bit rough.
<3> Viking667: I do like how you go straight into the work without explaining all the different bits, but you might work on clueing the reader in a bit better. The only other complaint is that you _really_ need to work on paragraph structure for dialog. It's good dialog (except that everybody pretty much has the same voice)--but it needs broken up so the reader can follow who's saying what.
<3> Viking667: On the characters having the same voice count, that'll work itself out in the edits, once you think your characters are real.
<0> lol. That's the sort of stuff I was after.
<0> Oh. And I don't know how to structure dialog.
<3> Viking667: 99% of the time, the basic rule of giving each speaker their own paragraph works wonders.
<0> So what you got was the best that I know how.
<3> One paragraph should not include two people speaking except under special circumstances.
<0> ThomasM: err, my characters speak short sentences, as you probably picked up.
<3> Viking667: Even then.
<0> I would consider it if my chars spoke more than about ten words in a row, but .... they're Joe Workers...
<0> brb
<3> Don't worry about your paragraph lengths, especially when it's dialog.
<0> *sigh* - and I was getting sick of "he said ... she said ... I said ..."
<0> But the other option wasn't much better.
<3> Don't worry about that. Writers always do, but readers never read it.
<3> Think back to reading a book. Do you remember all the attributions past finding out who said it? And if you had a good idea who was speaking or could hear their voice, did you even bother to read the attribution?
<0> ThomasM: I do wonder about it sometimes. In "CRime and punishment" for example, there's attribution to some degree.
<0> But that's old writing.
<3> Viking667: If it's the same people speaking, you can skip the attributions, as well. If you're sure the reader knows who's speaking, you don't need them, especially in a back-and-forth conversation between two people.
<0> Two people wasn't my problem. I was more worrying about when they're ALL discussing things initially...
<3> There are special constructions for when a large group is speaking and you don't care who's actually saying the words. Usually used for mobs and such.
<0> But yeah, setup could be a problem. But I don't know how else to do it without an introduction. And I HATE those.
<3> Me, too. You do have a character that was new to all the things there, so you can use them as a foil for introductions on some things.
<0> hrm?
<3> Your main character is from a different culture. Their interactions with others can be used as a foil both for introducing the culture they came from and the one they entered.
<0> "Huh? Who?" "Well, it's like this - before you arrived, ....."
<0> Like that?
<0> Well, that's partially what the Shoeing In was supposed to be for, to "make" him a member of their society.
<0> So he's not a total noob.
<2> "life. the shoeing you deserve"
<2> Thats the first time Ive seen the word "shoeing" used. Viking667's remark being the second
<0> Jostein: oh yeah. You haven't read the book yet...
<2> nope
<3> Viking667: What say we take this to a /MSG, especially seeing as docfu's the only other one that knows what's going on, and he doesn't seem to be around.
<0> lol. Come on over to #whiskey
<7> Holy ****, I so want to kill our users. Grrrrrrrr People this stupid shouldn't be trying to run their own servers of any kind.
<8> 8)
<7> "Why won't this work?" "Because you're a retard."
<8> ahah
<7> "but this isn't working the way I think it should." "That's because your brain isn't working the way it should."
<7> Well, 2 more hours until I get to pretend I'm home :)
<4> I'd tend to say, if it don't work a certain way, stop, think, and try again, or try another way
<9> best tech support scenario:
<9> Customer: "hi there, my printer isn't working correclty"
<9> Tech: "Ok, go ahead and click on Start"
<2> Falchion: sounds like a nice day at work
<7> Jostein: s/nice/typical
<9> Customer: "Whoa whoa waddya think i'm Bill Gates or some ****?"
<2> Falchion: Hey. At least your users are smart enough to setup their own servers, even though incorrectly :P
<7> Comet: We started havign a wall of shame where we'd print off the best and post them up. But after awhile we decided there was no point. They're ALL idiots.
<9> hahahaha
<9> i like that idea
<10> Jostein, thats like saying 'at least your users can go into the toilet even though they **** in the bath'
<7> Jostein: When someone declares that there is a problem with our system because their MX record isn't letting them access their FTP, THEY ARE ****ING MORONS.
