How Long Have You Been on TBBS?

I joined a little over five years ago but only started posting regularly two years ago. It's been a (mostly) fun trip. How many wars have I waged in TNZ? Ah, too many to count.

Far too many.

Its definitely the best way to up your post count :lol:
 
Good to see you again blab and I'm especially happy to see you back Dukat. :)

Cheers, Mallory! Good to be back.

I actually joined in Dec 2003 as sisvspkd. My last post was in 2007. Since then I've changed a lot of things including email. So now I'm Sweaty. So I'm starting over now...that's my story and I'm stickin to it!

For anyone who doesn't know, this is the lovely, awesome, artistic, photographer and motorcycle enthusiast that is SPOCKED's sister :)

I joined in 2002. I was Mr. Laser Beam for awhile, then changed to Babaganoosh, now I have my old name back (did that because people kept confusing me with TEH BABA :lol: ).

No one actually confused you with TEH BABA, trust me. They were just kidding around with you. You'd have to start speaking in tongues to be confused with TEH BABA. ;)

Welcome back Blab and Elmo... err I guess I should call you Dukat now. :)

Heh, I guess that'll work :D and thanks, good to be back!!!!

And you know how well I deal with that sort of thing...

Really. That bad, eh?

Elmo... err I guess I should call you Dukat now. :)
THAT's who Dukat's Major is?!? Oh bloody hell. I had no idea. :alienblush: :D

Tee-hee :cardie: :klingon: :bolian:

Welcome back Blab and Elmo... err I guess I should call you Dukat now. :)

She could always ask to change it back. :)

What is she, J. Allen? That guy's like Sybil with all the name changes.

Maybe I am J. Allen :angel:
 
Joined a few days in to 2003, so a little over 7 years and 5 months. Used to mostly known I think for changin avatars like crazy :lol:
Joined in 2004 as Elmo Dukat. Left a couple years ago, now back as Dukat's Major for uh---one day so far. ;)

...still getting used to new vBulletin stuff. Bah!

:cardie::bolian:
Welcome back, missed you! :)

I feel my brother would be very intrested to get to know Sweaty from that description. Then again, at 17 he may be a bit too young for her :lol:
 
To everyone who is coming out of the woodward but it's been a while since you first posted (Like yesterday), welcome back. Glad to see you know this place still indeed exists. :)
 
Oh man, that's fascinating! That's just the kind of thing my group would love to model. It's both interesting when considering fluid flow and considering emergence of structure built by many tiny agents...really, really cool. :bolian:

I said:
Where you go on to talk about forest fires I remembered an automata program I made a few years ago... I wanted to model the burning of a christmas pudding, and I decided that a network flow/automata type approach was the way to do it. [...] I'll see if I can find it tomorrow to show you :)

I found my program, but I couldn't capture the graphics because it was using funny screen mode. But I've updated the graphics with something more up to date, so we can watch it. :)

The flame is modeled with a cellular automata. But the basic idea here was to move away from a flat regular lattice, and model the curved (hemispherical) surface of the pudding. I decided that the most natural way to do this was via a wireframe mesh, so the automata is essentially running over the graph / topological network of that mesh.

The sides of this mesh are cylindrical with a square lattice. This merges with a hexagonal cap at roughly 45 degrees up from the equator. The cap has a triangular tesselation. Like this:

The mesh is described in the software with a node list and an arc list, which can easily be generalised to model cellular automata on more complex surfaces.

Yes, this thread is certainly quite the Equalizer. :bolian:

That's really cool :) I'd love to play around with some different surfaces this summer (I'm going to be participating in the NKS Summer School again).

Thanks for sharing, I love this stuff!! :techman::techman::techman:
 
Looks like I'll be here seven years in about three weeks. Wow. :wtf:

For a little bit of a twist - Those of you who are (or previously have been) staff here, how long have you been (were you) staff members? I'll have been green six years in mid-June.
I became a Mod in November 2006... according to my entry in the Brig. :rommie:

Joined in 2004 as Elmo Dukat. Left a couple years ago, now back as Dukat's Major for uh---one day so far. ;)

Oh goodness, I can't remember how long I've been a mod-I've been here 5.5 years, and I think I've been mod at least 4 of those! I know I was mod at ENT just after it ended :wtf: ETA: The earliest I could find was August, 2006! I've been a mod longer than you?

Yay! Elmo's back :techman:
 
11 years.

I don't know of anyone else who's been a regular longer. Temis joined a few months after I did, and RAMA a few months after that.
