If you don't know Frankie, this next story will be the litmus test. I laughed so hard that I had to share. https://youtu.be/eZtOyiec5-g?t=2284 Watch the rest if you enjoyed it! #frankieboyle #missionary https://youtu.be/eZtOyiec5-g?t=2284

Turn it up loud. Edit: I posted this quickly as I had listened to it while driving. Obviously I don't watch the video in the car, but I left the dominatrix channel on. When I got to the shops I had to share. World in my Eyes is a great song with some great remixes. I bought the cd single a fews ago and next to Personal Jesus, it had some really great b-sides (on a cd!). Happiest Girl and Sea of Sin are good competition to Dangerous & Kalleid of of PJ's single. What blew me away (AGAIN) was the video having sync'ed Dave Gahan vocal clips. I love it. Even then bloody font is awesome.

Tonight in Ark Extinction Map with Apex. 3 screens of this... We found a cave that kept spawning enemies because we were running in without armour and not enough weapons.

Introduced a mate of mine to the game. He joined me online last night for the first time. He looks bleary eyes this morning...

So my UNRAID Server has been warning me about an imminent drive failure and last week it happened. One of my 8TB's died. Sadly, although it's well within warranty, the fact that I broke it out of an 3.5" external enclosure voided my warranty. Anyhoo, I took the opportunity to buy 2 more drives and a UPS. We've been having power outages these past 2 weeks, so I decided a UPS was way overdue. I bought a cheap (local) Mecer 2000VA UPS and hooked everything up. Unraid wouldn't see it, but I installed the NUT plugin from the Github Link on this page. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/40690-plug-in-nut-network-ups-tools/ The Plugin had a detect UPS option that worked. All I needed to do was save all the configs and restart the daemon and voila, detected! Another nice bonus was that Unraid could give me the barcode serial of the failed drive so it was dead easy to remove. Sweet! I have a spare drive now for the next failure, so it will be a quick swap out next time.

USA Mid Terms coming up. If you're of voting age, this one's for you...red or blue ;) Policy of Truth is not my favourite song, but this one's my favourite remix of it. Moody opening, lovely groovely bassline, minimal vocals. Timeless. Have a great weekend. This one's going into my background playlist that's running on my Discord server while I play Ark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_DAkq_ynCU&feature=share

Cheating a bit. Alan Wilder with Paul Kendall. A stonking Never let me down leads into the Jeep Rock Mix of In your room and then it blends into some Recoil stuff.

So I decided to give Ark another go. I've played a lot of No Man's Sky and was starting to look at Conan, but just realised that if I'm going to chop trees, I'd rather do it with Dinosaurs running around. I picked up the expansion pass for Ark during a Steam sale or something and for what I paid, I don't think I can complain. If you bought the DLC before they had a Season Pass, I can imagine the outrage, but the Season Pass has been great value with one more expansion still to come. To liven things up, I decided to hit the Aberration map. I had tried it before, but had found it impossibly hard to get started. It's a very different beast to the original maps. Firstly, from what I can see, there are no flying creatures you can tame. It seems almost always dark, but there is a day/night cycle of sorts. There are a lot more dangerous creatures that are very unlike what you might be used to in Ark. Where I am, metal is scarce, so getting to decent weapons/armou

To complete the trilogy of Spirit tracks, I'm going to post a song that I'm not especially a big fan of, but the opening verse just resonates with me when I'm in the mood (most of the time). I do confess I've hit skip a few times it's randomly cropped into a playlist as it generally will destroy a mood and get me to think dark thoughts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm6BBvYle4Y It seems like the video is a mashup some guy did. More interesting than the official one. Opening verse. People Do we call this trying? We're hopeless Forget the denying Our souls are corrupt Our minds are messed up Our consciences bankrupt Oh, we're fucked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm6BBvYle4Y

I hate posting single tracks at a time, so I'm going to take a few minutes and highlight (probably) my favourite track of the album Spirit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZYFy-WiWv4 It's a bonus track on the Deluxe Edition, but most fans have it anyway! The remix is largely instrumental with a few vocal samples, but the percussion and sounds / effects are just killer. I learn to like electronic music with percussion with Prodigy and since Mode now have a permanent drummer, I imagine the mix of machine and human drums is what makes this track stick out for me. I hope I'm not the only one! EDIT: nothing wrong with the regular version of Scum. I just prefer this one. #depechemode #spirit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZYFy-WiWv4

Whenever I start listening to a Mode album, I go through this phase of discovering and getting into the tracks as I develop a feel for each one. My favourite track varies over time and I'll come back to the album and realize a I like most of it and love some of the tracks just a bit more than the rest. Today the Worst Crime just won me over. I think it's a combination of the soft vocal and the minimalist arrangement. I got the sense that the vocal married with the subtle backing was so moving. This extract also just resonated with the world. Every now and then a subtle guitar or synth note will punctuate the vocal. I sit and wonder how the song would be without that note. Jazz fans talk about the space between notes, but a band that makes music for 30 years can do it in rock or electronica and I would imagine its true for really talented musicians in every genre. Mmm. RunDMC & Beastie Boys did that when they were younger so maybe I'm full of crap. This verse g

So, to hold myself accountable, I'm going to post the current WIP opening start screen of my game. The font scaling is horrible and the terrain/scenery needs a lot of work. The water effect is ok, but need something more stylish / cartoonish. I'm going to look at some low poly assets when I work on this again. Currently bashing my head against the wall with Pythagoras in the game itself! The cube's rotate and the water has reflections. Haven't tested on my phone yet...

With my road I generate planes in code which end up being the road tiles (like scalextric pieces).

So, I'm not sure how we're going to do this, but I wanted to kick this off and say that my idea was to get "something" in the Google Play Store before I turn 50. I thought by now it would be done, but here we are. I decided to use Unity / C# as I had been teaching myself Android Xamarin dev anyway and the skills were transferrable. I broke the problems I needed to solve into a bunch of technical bullets and for most of them, I have code that works. * Procedurally generated road * External geometry for the road loaded via .csv * Input control that works on keyboard, controller (windows) and accelerometer (android) * Ability to play sounds / music simply * Level management * Title screen * Options screen * Replacing .csv with sqlite I have code most of the above. I'm not sure if any of it is worth sharing and most of it comes from Brackey's Tutorials, but I'm willing to share what I've written or answer any questions on anything I've written. I&#

One more. I really love the entire Disentegration era of the Cure more than any other part of their career. I also remember seeing Lily Allen at Glastonbury, beer in hand, singing in the rain. Love the attitude and voice. Then this one appeared in my playlist a few years ago and made itself at home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTWIn7An678 #TheCure #Cover #LilyAllen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTWIn7An678

One last one that I couldn't resist. I love the odd Depeche Mode instrumental that comes along now and then. Nothing to Fear is one of those tracks that gave Dave a chance to have a drink and a massage while the boys just ignored the crowd and were head down in the synths playing this track. You rarely get to see Andy Fletcher's hands on the keyboard in videos, but here you get to see him holding down the bassline. It's an old clip of an early track, but I love this track! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjI-Dlw7vs4 As a bonus, when I played it on YouTube, the next track was My Secret Garden, so just let it play... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjI-Dlw7vs4

To finish my trilogy of People are People versions, this is one by Jonas Öberg. A few years ago Alan Wilder sold off his old DM samples and Jonas bought a bunch of disks in the auction. This remix is his version using the same samples (and others) and is a modern interpretation. It is a much more traditional sounding mix, but remade with newer tech. Really nice version. One of the YT commenters says Alan should be in the pic and I 100% agree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PmCOSkeIWc #depechemode #peoplearepeople #alanwilder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PmCOSkeIWc

Time to piss off some people. I present to you Are People People https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmD0dd3NV38 Release by DM after what must be a virus wiped there floppy disk of a remix of People are People. Somebody probably used Norton Undelete and had to manually rename the files and got them wrong. My favourite lyric: Da da da dang zuum zuum zuum bab bab bab.. (see if you make it that far). I know G+ doesn't have a -1 button, but feel free to type -1 in the comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmD0dd3NV38

I'm normally absolutely against mixes that bear very little resemblance to the source material's mood, but I can't resist this one. I love People are People in it's original percussive noise form, but this version is just so trippy and the vibe is so much at odds with the lyrics, it just feels almost sarcastic. https://youtu.be/iibKLJmJpVg https://youtu.be/iibKLJmJpVg

One of my infrastructure projects at home is an Unraid NAS. I started the trial with unraid and my hardware wasn't suitable, so I should get it back after the trial expires. I will probably ask for an extension! Anyways, I ordered desktop components + notebook RAM. Bought and paid for, my mistake. The vendor just let me know that they think I ordered the wrong RAM and suggested a change (AFTER the fact), but before shipping. There's a slight price adjustment, but no horrific realisation when the delivery happens. I'm really impressed with the service.

I'm an old school (Basic, Pascal, Delphi) programmer / networking / infrastructure guy who actually enjoys programming ;) For work I've transitioned into C# .Net via VB.Net to the point that I'm doing a fair amount of it in different spheres including Android. Despite being inexperienced at C# / Mobile, I have been informally helping colleagues along and feel like I am helping them getting over hurdles that were making them afraid to get involved. Lately I've discovered Unity and I'm finding it almost revolutionary. Random posts on this forum have lead me to believe there are more of you lurking here who might be interested to walk this journey with the rest of us.

Are any of you interest in being part of a coding sub-community of GGG+ One of the things I enjoy most about G+ and the communities that formed around Elite Dangerous has been the gathering of personalities that seem to share a lot of hobbies and interests. Many walks of life and philosophies interested in overlapping topics like music, tv, movies, humour, food, wine, etc. One of my hobbies has always been coding. The past is littered with 100's of started projects and abandoned code. Clearly, I haven't been an 'completionist' or 'achievement unlocked' kind of person in this regard. I guess in my case, I was not able to sustain that level of drive and enthusiasm for most of those pet projects. With Unity, I've found a system that allows me to express my gameplay idle thoughts as something tangible and I've started watching tutorials and putting objects on the screen and animating them. The results have been quick and rewarding and I'm starting t

Is there a post summarising the Felicia Winters attempted expansion into LTT 4961. I was a dumb grunt in the fight.

Last one for the day. #thegrid #synthpop https://youtu.be/ShrZVNspfIw This one reminds me of my Rob Hubbard / Martin Galway music history which I still indulge. For years, my ringtone is taken from Commando C64 by Rob Hubbard. This instrumental (mostly) track has the repetitive pattern based sequences that 8 bit programmers resorted to do make 10 minute long soundtracks in 4k of memory. It connects me in a very specific way with my memories of that era and encountering computers for the first time. There is a sequence that starts at 2:38 and goes on for about half a minute that is just sublime for me. It's that thing I've always liked in music where you get to get really inside the track and hear it reinvent itself half way through. https://youtu.be/ShrZVNspfIw?t=132 (I've cued it up with 20 seconds earlier so you can hear the track change) It's best heard REALLY loud on a nice headset. When chatting to others I've noticed they don't really like the chip

Another one from my coding playlist... #neworder #technique I like songs Electronic music in general, but have a weakness for synth tracks like: New Order's Fine Time https://youtu.be/MYwNLlTt3AQ This was one of the first New Order albums I bought. I had bootlegged it, but have since bought it twice over the years. There are a bunch of really good tracks which I would imagine are not as popular to early New Order fans. It's not as moody as earlier albums, but I was very much in my synth pop phase growing up when I encountered it. https://youtu.be/MYwNLlTt3AQ

#neworder #electronic #synth Whenever I'm coding I like to have some background music. This is one of those I keep coming back to. I can literally put it in a playlist of 2 songs on repeat. The other one is off the same album, track #2, Reality. I can recommend the whole album as worth a buy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocaK0am7vA8

Inspired by Dennis Wronka, let me tell you a cautionary tale about Alpha Rex'es and overzealous idiot friends. Soon after I logged in yesterday, Apex shouted that he needed me to bring all the dino's to kill an Alpha. No problem, I started gathering them, they followed eagerly and while I was organising them I asked. Is it a Raptor or a Carno? In other words, do I need 1 Rex or 2 along with the 2 Allosaurs, 2 Bears, 2 Sabretooth Tigers, 2 Thylacoleo's and 2 Theras. We always tame 2 of each, except for Argy's. No, it's a Rex, he says casually? Are you serious, I'm turning back, says cowardly me. No, we can do it, says Captain Optimistic. What happened next was pure carnage. Thankfully I had not taken all the dino's so I still have a Doedic, Ankly, 2 Argy's and 1 Thera left. Have since managed to tame a single Rex. The worst part of all of this is that we managed to kill the rex with about 30 rifle shots.... And the saddles lost...Quite a few of

Found this on reddit. Amazing depth to this game. Interesting that you can have different play styles... https://www.reddit.com/r/ARK/comments/886yqv/learned_about_mega_rabies_today/ My crew and I are set up on the shores of the Viking 1 spawn zone in Ragnarock. We play on a hardcore mode server, for those who don't know that means we loose our character if we die. We have mitigated this a bit by having a "cornerstone" in our tribe. Basically just a character from a random account that keeps our belongings in the tribe if we all wipe on an adventure. It's also worth noting that my favorite part of Ark is the adventure! So I tend not to research things online before checking it out myself. Just across the pond and up the hill from our beach is a cool looking castle ruin. It's a location I have explored a few times but never find anything inside. I keep going back because my tribe mates swear it is filled with spiders and bats. I want to get a look at them myself b

Google Play was playing Walkin in my Shoes, but I decided to check out the Spotify Daily Mix as there auto playlists are supposed to be soooo good. First track was the linked Personal Jesus mix. Damn. I was punching the steering wheel and revelling in the punchy bass and malicious synths. Such a good version of the song. When my Spotify trial ends, I won't be subscribing as they don't offer a family plan in ZA, but I might come back if they do. It's the Cape Town Jazz Festival tonight. Screw that crap.

2 Quick tips if you didn't already know. Above the inventory slots is an icon with a down arrow. It will pull items from all containers near you. Sometimes you need more wood. Click the icon, scroll down to wood and pull. Useful! If you need lots of raw meat to be spoiled quickly. Select all the meat in your inventory and do split all. They will all spoil at the same time. Hope this is useful to somebody.

I was pleased as I wouldn't mind taming one as they have higher strength and carry potential.   My excitement was spoiled when it attacked the 2 tame Pteranodons we had recently acquired.  We were in the process of acquiring a second saddle, so only one was flyable.  The 2 Pterry's responded to the attack and the 3 birds swirled higher and higher.  I'd seen this before so I immediately tried to recall them, but they didn't respond to a general call, I eventually had to do a "follow one" to each bird in sequence.  Only the first one responded.  As luck would have it, the one without the saddle.  It looks like my other one killed the Argy and is now flying high above the base.  I hope he decides to land because he didn't respond to any hails from me, way below.  Only option now is to build a large enough building

After scouting with the raft, I've found where I want to put a more permanent structure in Ark. Metal/Pearls/Oil/CementingPaste and near the swamp too. Dennis Wronka Go have a look on the flyer ;)

Unusual lighting for after 9pm ingame. Light subsided shortly after

Fun in Ark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TFNpFlJNu0&feature=autoshare

Thera killed me earlier.

ARK special pricing on Steam ends in 5 hours. Highly recommended. You don't need the Season pass.

Starting again in Ark is hard after a long time. The game seems less rough than I remember. Managed to find Apex on Max Acceleration server. Started a new tribe. Trying to drop a bed near a ton of metal.

Love the gentle guitar in the introduction. #depechemode +DominatrixRMX https://youtu.be/kEyHC0hyN4s

I'm just posting this to confirm that the Amazon special refurbished TM-AC900 that I bought end of December 2017 can be upgraded to the latest ASUS Firmware support AIMesh WiFi I used this tutorial. https://slickdeals.net/forums/ showpost.php?p=92917711 It was purchased based on this $48 offer.  Price is now $60 https://deals.kinja.com/heres-an-insane-deal-on-our-readers-favorite-wi-fi-rout-1821739132 The downgrade process is a pain! I used an Allen Key to help me keep the reset button in for what felt like a very long time, but was probably about 2 minutes. Tip for the initial downgrade. set your pc ip to 192.168.29.2 start a ping 192.168.29.1 -t  on cmd hold down wps, wifi enable/disabe & reset while power is off. power on wait until fast flashing led release wps, wifi, KEEP reset pressed (I used an Allen key) once the ping comes up you can do upload of the tm downgrade firmware The TM firmware downgrade worked fine and I was able to enable SSH

Taking a break from social media.

Never heard of Chromeo before but very good. Also the collaborations with Ceelo Green, Dave Stewart and many other gems in the channel are worth checking out. https://youtu.be/WOE1-2Fza5Q

Such a good version. Lots more recordings available on Daryl Hall live https://youtu.be/MOabsfRNyxs

Did V1 of this playlist from memory. Will refine as I realise my errors & omissions ;) #depechemode #googleplaymusic https://play.google.com/music/playlist/AMaBXylTTCugVeT6cidRZrTap9erBOn4eHzAcBY3kuxt6W9daNBLaU0OJsZzkfP8Zvv0wCZ7yrZX4l0LRU6oZQQM8gmUugHusA%3D%3D?utm_medium=organic_share&utm_source=googleplus

Quite a bit of Peter Capaldi in my life recently. Doctor Who Xmas special, Torchwood season 3 and this. https://youtu.be/Cg-pnGFbwMQ
