@Elizafox oh, that is a good point. Yeah, I think your other idea is a more likely answer.

@Elizafox they probably make the gel part thick enough that the liquid inside reaches saturation before it manages to dissolve enough to get out.

and being node it is really easy to add more properties to global objects. It makes writing the communication part of the plugins pretty straight forward and you don't have to touch any of the other code.

I just need to get dodo cleaned up so it is organised like my other code.

The way the web socket server part works is there are requests (outgoing messages) and data handlers (for incoming messages)

When a message is received than the message type gets checked against a list of known message types and if it matches it is passed off to the handler for that type.

So to extend functionality you make a plugin that adds requests and handlers for the message types you want to use.

I have learned a lot more about how to make servers since I started Dodo. This is interesting to see how I was trying to make it work before. It works, but it is much more complex than it needs to be.

@zatnosk .....

But the point of doing all this in node is that it makes it easy for people who know javascript to make things for it. And I know nothing about rust.

the main script is two lines that requires two other scripts.

And looking at it now it only needs to load one of them. With means that other script should be the main script...

Yeah, this code is a bit of a mess.

@Jo the prime directive goes out the window whenever Kirk finds it inconvenient or boring.

People like robbie, I just need to get better at making it easy for people to see robbie stuff.

So that I can get enough money to both not starve and get someone to help out with the social bits of this. Which would help get the money to pay for it. And the circle of trying to figure out how to fund the thing that is supposed to bring in funds continues.

or perhaps I can't access it for some other reason. Who knows? Not me.

Either dreamhost is down or I just can't access it from my vpn.

This weeks robbie 360 video is crossing the Bir Hakeim bridge in Paris. It was used in the movie Inception, other than that it is just a pretty bridge.

Robbie has been crossing a lot of bridges lately so you may be seeing a lot of the Seine over the next few weeks.

Also last week didn't exist. Any memories you have of last wednesday are a conspiracy.

Here is the current Celluloid Nightmare setup. It actually works now. It is a system for making 4k (or better) quality transfers of old 16mm film.

Tomorrow should be the designing and cutting the final design for the box and then we start really using it. This has taken far longer than expected.

Also my workspace is covered in different projects.

@bunnyhero I watched those captain america movies. I like how, at least in the first one, his principle action in every fight is to run away.

It works, but it isn't very superheroy.

Celluloid nightmare may actually work and be usable now.

It takes about 1.5 seconds per frame because of how big the image files are. So that means that a full reel of 18mm film takes about 20 hours to capture in full quality.

But it is automated, so it doesn't matter how long it takes.
