Fan Creations / Paintchat! All of us!
« on: May 31, 2011, 11:57:53 AM »
Awright, since there are enough people interested~ Let's Pchat!

Firstly, you should all get Opencanvas 1.1, which is the program which we'll be paintchatting with. Find it here~

Next! You'll also need Hamachi. If you're old enough you'll probably already have it, but it'd be the old version so you should probably update it anyway because ever since Steam got popular no one uses Hamachi for LAN gaming anymore. But I digress, anyway! Hamachi, Get it here

Now, you all need to join the same network, I have an OC Hamachi network set up from years ago called 'Opencanvas 1'. The pw should be my username in all lower letters iirc.

Now, if enough members see this and join, we'll have a way to see who is online (as in, their computer are turned on) at any time, and can organise Pchat sessions whenever we see enough people on. Some people may be busy that that is /ok. Please note that only 4 people can be at a Pchat session at any one time, so try not to invite too many spectators.
Or invite only spectators and show off how you draw. Up to you.
Otherwise, if everyone is on the forum, we can always organise it there. The number you see on Hamachi is your networking IP, and if you use that one, the rest will work itself out. Oh and just so you know, if you want to network outside of Hamachi, you need to switch Hamachi off.

Opencanvas 1.1 is a pretty simple and self-explanatory program to draw in, but if you need hotkeys, you can find them in Help > Show Help. To host a Pchat session, go to Network > Show Network Window. In the window that pops up, choose a username and a password (if you want...), go to the Network Preference tab and make the canvas a good size (1000-2500 is good) choose a good max member, then go back and Stand by.
To join, Show Network Window, Client, type in the host's Hamachi IP, pick a name, type in the password if there is one, then Join! Simple as that.


Anyway, enough talk, everyone get Pchat-happy! Or just join the network. Or try to and then tell me if the password embarassingly doesn't work.

General / Laptop Recommendations
« on: May 23, 2011, 01:29:23 PM »
Hmm, you don't have a thread that recommends what latest technology people should buy do you? Whelp, no matter~

Harrow boys and girls, Krystal here with a request for all of you tech-savvy people and not-so-tech-savvy-people and just people in general.

But I shall skip that and skip to the point. I'm looking to buy a new laptop and I really want to know what other people think is a good one to get.

I don't have the money to waste on a Macbook, and I really want a tabletPC with Wacom technology but if there isn't a good one out there that's okay too.

I don't want it to be any heavier than a handgun and I want at least as much power as Xion. Who is 2 years old =w=b

tl;dr I WANT AWSM LAPTOP WHAT SHOULD I GET

Off The Wall / Electronics/Devices/Computer Names
« on: March 21, 2011, 02:54:26 PM »
I'm sure there's more than one person on this forum who affectionately names inanimate objects, so let's share our embarrassing naming conventions!

I'll start first.

Xion D33
Type: Personal computer.
History: That's his full name right there, there's something interesting in his initials but that's for me to know and bored people to figure out. There isn't much of a story as to why I named him Xion. I just chose a name that began with X because his chassis is decorated with them of course, I chose the chassis myself. Xion is the PC I do everything on.

Nix
Type: External HDD
History: A tiny external bought to back up Xion's most important files. Polar opposites but also just different sides of the same coin 8D

Morte YP-U3
Type: Mp3 player
History: Morte is the first device I named. He was a B'day present from my high school friends what the hell I used to go to school?! and so I became affectionate and named him and his sister on the spot. They were named after their colours~

Ichigo
Type: Blankie
History: Yes, blankie. I called her strawberry because she was pink and cute. Okay? I don't actually like Bleach.

Cantilena
Type: Piano
History: She's like 10 years old, but I only named her recently. She's served me well over the years and deserves some love.

Virgil
Type: B'day present - I mean, DS Lite
History: 1 year after Morte, my friends gave me a Virgil. Aww, I wub them >w< Virgil has actually met and befriended Lucent, a somewhat older female DS Lite who accidentally got dropped a few times.

Aaaand that's it~ What do you mean that's it? You mean holy [parasitic bomb] it finally ended man
Unless anyone is interested in the fact that I named my current USB 'Blues' because of its colour scheme and to give me an incentive to not leave it behind. My friends question my colour naming. I tell them it's a music genre.
