With the exception of 124 Monday/Tuesday evenings, I am amenable to most any day/time. 125 L'homme: After our conversation, I expected to log on here and find the 126 Great American Novel (or at least the BW edition). 127 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::O O::::::::voyeur::::::::O O::::::::::: 128 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 129 ALL ARCHIVE: well, assuming that the Ninja and Voyeur are not the one and 130 same, we have 5. I want to go for it as soon as we co-ordinate our format 131 differences. But, if a sixth shows up, individual copy cost would be 132 reduced to approx. $20 for the complete set. Additional takers? Printing 133 could be arranged, probably have it laser printed. 134 135 ALL Para-Psych: Sorry, you can't have my birthday.

How about Eastern Mysticism? 139 140 BARD: You were counted in that archive 5. 141 142 L'homme: Gee, and I thought I was running for Secretary of BW Defence. Are 143 you involved with this NETWORK (ahem) game? I fear that MF&E is moving 144 towards a simple "MF". Checked up on my "a-lazing", eh? SOMEWHAT correct 145 you say? I'll bet I have a better "auntie a-lazing" algoritm than Mead! 146 Seems some basic theoretical research was done in a similar area in sig. 147 proc. a few years back, hasn't been applied to graphics, though the theory 148 (as you acknoledged) is the same. Even if I don't know nothin' 'bout 149 graphix! Nyah! On to other topics.. seems you and the adventure 150 have come to something of a stand-still. Too bad the Doc wouldn't let you 151 borrow his dimensional stabilizer... Might I suggest that this device.. 152 maybe a computer.. maybe a very powerfull computer.. could help you out 153 of this situation itself? If you could find a floating input, perhaps 154 you could serialize a message.... 155 156 PAM: yup, snides aside (gulp!), it's you! Got your reply on BitB. 157 Aaron 158 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 159 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp 160 Bard -- I doubt that power traces could help us. The scale voltage i 161 dangerous (like around 60 kv rough gess) and you need a moving magnetic 162 field to pick up anything by induction. We need to find a signal line 163 that has a fluctuating magnetic field -- your machine does have rectifying 164 inputs doesn't it? Input filtering and voltage limiting? With the rapid 165 rise and fall caused by square waves, we may end up with awfully spikey 166 power! Not waiting for the bard to answer the piper took a loop of cable 167 and arraomnged it along a likely looking trace. 168 As he worked he spoke: "My pipes are useless at this scale for several 169 reasons -- the viscosity of the air as bard mentioned, and the scale. 170 They are simple acoustical resonators -- imagine what their fundamental 171 frequency is at this scale! I could probably use them for cleaning teeth 172 if the frequency is not too high." The piper had not noticed the ninja 173 waking behind him. A rustle caused him to turn... to behold the most 174 terrifying sight of his life -- a charging ninja brandishing his dreaded 175 stick shift! Blanching, the piper took a single step backwards, stumbled, 176 and fell as the ninja slowly approached. 177 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp 178 +++++++++ Now working on new code............... Milchar +++++++++++++++++++ 179 Bard looked up in time to see the ninja attempt to attack Piper. He 180 responded by throwing a wrench at Ninja. The results of these attacks were 181 rather startling. 182 Bard's wrench describe an exceedingly odd curve, while Ninja was 183 dragged out of line by his stick shift. The magnetic field of the traces had 184 cancelled attacks. 185 Before Ninja could recover Bard had reached over and activated the 186 stasis. While everyone else was frozen, he bound the ninja and carried him 187 over to the car. He then restored the 'normal' time flow and started a scan 188 of the ninja. He soon spotted an anomaly in the scan. 189 Using great care (and VERY well insulated tongs) he placed the gem(?) 190 in a stasis capsule and switched the field on at the fourth quantum. There! 191 Turning to piper he commented, "Don't worry about whether or not 192 it's a signal trace. If it's a power trace I'll just use the MMF inputs 193 instead of EMF!" 194 They soon had the power packs charged. Voyeur took a look at a meter 195 while bard was charging them and turned white! In a short time, all was 196 ready. The furry animals had been coaxed into the pack (and everything 197 secured so that they couldn't hurt it (or themselves). Everyone was in place 198 waiting... 199 Bard entered the co-ordinates & typed "Execute". 200 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BARD~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 201 The apprentice was almost at the inn when there was a loud "POP" behind 202 him. There in the middle of the road stood L'homme's "car". Climbing out 203 were Bard, voyeur, Piper, and a stranger with a wolf! 204 ............................ 205 Milords, thou hadst been wandering for quite long enough! 206 ..............................the apprentice................................ 207 0101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 208 XRYFU VDQPM BYSVC UEOEX UYRNP TXITH ETTSQ 209 END 210 The FIRST requirement for NETWORK membership is a properly 211 formatted application.
