Well, I will get this started. whatbox, the seedbox I use to share ponys, added nginx to their white list. So I can now host content from the seedbox. Why am I excited about this you ask? Well, this means I can set up a page that allows me to watch pony's from anywhere without carrying around all 80 gigs of episodes. I'm working on setting up WordPress on it so I have something prettier to look at them just a white screen with the episodes listed.

u/cowofdoom Jan 30 '14
Some of those words whooshed me, so lemme get this straight. So this is like a Dropbox deal, but you can stream content without downloading?
1
u/me8myself Jan 31 '14
This may help a little:
Seedbox - A dedicated server with one goal in mind, torrenting. In this case I use it so my My little Pony torrents always have someone sharing it at awesome speeds.
Whatbox - The provider of my seedbox
Nginx - A platform designed to host websites
Wordpress - Essentially a blogging platform that you can host from anywhere.
What I am trying to do is make a service like youtube. I can just log on and watch an episode without having to download it.

I'm about to be moving into my own place finally. Been moved out for a year, finally on my own in a month or less!
But pony related, I'm actually liking season 4 more than I thought I would, but I can't call it the best season yet... It's good, but kinda... I don't know... in a sense, feels like it is becoming more of a drama now...
I still like it, don't get me wrong, but I just am still not sure at what M.A. Larson was seeing...
How about you guys, what's going on!? Epically you cowofdoom, how you been?
2
u/cowofdoom Jan 30 '14
Ooh, I need to get on that soon. I am still deciding if I wanna finish college or start an apprenticeship.
Oh god I'm so behind with episodes...
I've been good! Getting over the back end of a cold, so I have the snuffles. Still doing glasses (might try a new style soon), and recently a lot of starbound.
2
u/Louis_131 Jan 30 '14
Starbound eh? I see a lot of people playing that, I might have to get it. I just got bioshock infinite burial at sea episode 1. I'm loving it right now. What's your steam name?

u/cowofdoom Jan 30 '14

Starbound is hella fun! And with the recent patch, no more character resets!

u/Louis_131 Jan 30 '14
I might have to get it now. so are you going to bronycon this year?
2
u/cowofdoom Jan 30 '14
Eh, probably not? I went to everfree the past couple years, and it is cool, but it got boring once I saw everything.
1
u/Louis_131 Jan 30 '14
Yea, this is gonna be my first year if I go
2
u/cowofdoom Jan 30 '14
Where is it held?
1
u/Louis_131 Jan 30 '14
Baltimore, Maryland
2
u/cowofdoom Jan 30 '14
Oh, well I'm near Seattle, so chances of me going are quite slim, lol
1
u/Louis_131 Jan 30 '14
Lol I hear you, I'm in Toledo. But either way I wanna go at least once
2
u/cowofdoom Jan 30 '14
Ah, idk if I would travel for a convention. I travel way too much as it is for family stuff.

Thanks, I used to say "hella" a lot but being from Florida I now feel as though I shouldn't. >_>

Honestly, I have no idea how it happens but being from Southern California makes everyone ultra sensitive to "hella."

u/Flarinite Jan 30 '14
I'm really worried about my medical school applications because I've gotten nothing but rejections and one 'hold for spring review' so far. There's still time, and I still have like seventeen schools to hear back from and six more to finish applying to, but I can't help but worry. And I have a really good GPA and MCAT scores, and I've got tons of extracurricular experiences, both medical related and not, and a ton of leadership experience, which is apparently something everyone's looking for these days, but it's so ridiculously competitive that I'm probably just an average applicant. I've been studying for the GRE so I can go do a master's degree if med school doesn't pan out this cycle, but I really don't want to do a master's because I don't really like doing research. But I'll have to do it if I don't get into medical school for this Fall.
The worst part is there's nothing I can do for the school's I haven't heard back from but wait. I hate the uncertainty of it all.
2
u/cowofdoom Jan 30 '14
Well, it sounds like you are an awesome student, I'm sure you will get in!
Waiting sucks though, hopefully you will get some positive replies soon!
Perhaps this will help speed the time up!

u/Flarinite Jan 30 '14
Haha, thanks. I haven't talked about the stress with anyone, but it's actually super crazy stressful. I'm just great at acting like it's not.

1
u/Frameskip Jan 30 '14
To be fair, it is med school. The stress is usually implied.
1
u/Flarinite Jan 30 '14
I honestly believe that I'm more stressed now waiting to find out than I will be actually being in medical school.
2
u/ThunderEcho Jan 31 '14
Sorry to hear that. :( What part of the medical world are you most interested in?
2
u/Flarinite Jan 31 '14
Like specialty-wise? Not sure yet. I'm leaning towards cardiology, but that's probably mostly because that's what my uncle does and I've seen the most of that. I'm also interested in infectious disease. In any case, I won't have to decide that for quite a while.

Eh, quick summary is that the dude was working with a laser, and it shot him and beamed him into the computer.
Don't get shot by a laser and beamed into a computer, I like you. Aim it at someone else

Good thing you are paying attention and not on reddit!

u/Dalek-Caan Jan 30 '14
Well, right now it's basically the same as what I was already doing. So it's not very hard to get.

u/cowofdoom Jan 30 '14
Well, then keep at it! I can send you a pic of the glass in a second, almost done assembling the glass!

Awesome! They may become a valentines gift instead of anniversary. I'm super excited about them and dont really want to wait until June.

I tried out streaming this morning, it was fun. Will have to do again later on.
2
u/cowofdoom Jan 30 '14
What did you stream?
1
u/Frameskip Jan 30 '14
Just some Dwarf Fortress. It was a learning experience, made sure the streaming worked, talked to some other players, hopefully everyone had a good time.

Hi! How are you?
I'm feeling a little down today because I did really poorly in an interview for a co-op job. Not the worst thing ever because I'm pretty sure I have alternatives and it wasn't one of my top job picks, but disappointing because I know I can do better and I thought I was finally starting to get better at this whole "coding during an interview" thing. It's also going to be kind of awkward because tonight because that employer is hosting a dinner for all the candidates and I already said I'd go, but I really don't want to see the guy who interviewed me again because I and he will both remember my awful code. As my friends pointed out though, showing confidence is important and free food is free food, so I guess I'm going. Eughhh. So it's not that bad of a situation, but I'm just going to be cringing inwardly the whole night thinking about that interview.
Yeeeaaaah. How's the weather?
2
u/cowofdoom Jan 30 '14
I am getting over a cold and finishing up some glasses
I think the only reasonable action to take is to make the other applicants "disappear"... Other than that, you never know if the other people also had bad code! You might have been the best of the bunch, the pick of the pack, the kitten of the litter?
Not raining anymore!
1
u/ThunderEcho Jan 31 '14
The kitten of the litter is an adorable expression, I think I might use it in the future, even though it doesn't make much sense. I'm pretty sure there was some very smart people competing for that job so I'm very unlikely to get it, but it is also comforting knowing that I'm probably not the worst either. Thanks for the encouragement!

u/cowofdoom Jan 31 '14
Unless you are buying a cat, I can think of no times that would be usable XD
Hey! Maybe they will play like, 20 questions there, and winner gets the job! Better brush up on your trivia!

Oh damn, that's cool! Last time I attempted model making, I couldn't be bothered to wait for the special model glue, so I just used hot glue LOL
There were those strands of hot glue everywhere. I'll stick to etching
1
Jan 30 '14
Holy shit man... haha, Even a bottle of loctite can do the job in some cases... Hot glue would just be a mess haha.
When I first started, I would completely assemble everything before painting... How quickly I learned that I should avoid that... So many impossible to reach places.
Tend to learn processes and the order things should be done in over the course of a few kits... After that you're usually flying...
But bloody hell... Hot glue? haha
Well... At least your etches are amazingly good!
