A couple days ago my neighbor got this installed on the side of his house. I'm curious of what it is or what it does. On the side it has an FCC id number so I'm assuming to transmits, receives, or otherwise communicates with something. On the one end it has a threading as if something can be screwed onto it, and the other end is open with the wiring coming out. The wires of different colors come out and two of the same color wires go respectivly into a plastic thing with a 3M logo on it.

Give me some kind of idea about this device if you can,

Thanks!

I'm writing a screenplay about workers in a 1904 shoe factory whom are going to try and form a union. I have about 10 pages so far but I'm a little stuck, mostly beacuse i'm terrible with dialogue. If someone can give me some input and help with what I have already i'd much appreciate.

Hey guys,

I'm gunna start to learn some C++ because I'm programing illiterate. I've got all my newb tutorials and whatnot but I need a good free compiler. Googling for one presents many many results but what do you all suggest?


Thanks

I have been recieving these very strange emails lately, from different senders, yet they are similar.

They start with a bit of strange text, then an add for some stock (at least I think thats what it is...)

Here are a few of them.

I havent attempted to piece them together or anything, i dont know if they will form something coherant or...not...or...

I dont know, tell me what you think.

A marcher from the Black Parade, any critics are more than welcome.






EDIT:

Changed it up a little, added some highlights in the hair, fixed the spats lacing on his left foot, and made the chest strips different lengths.

I was thinking just now that the television show LOST might make an interesting game. The entire thing is a mystery and adventure...

Of course the game would have to be a lot shorter than the show takes to reveal things or the player would die of old age before completing a puzzle.


Your thoughts?

I got a program from the local second hand store called
"Interplays Learn to Program in BASIC" It says its Junior High level which might be a bit over my head sadly.Ã, 


CD Case:







I just now installed it but i have to get to bed for school tomorrow. I'll tell you all more tomorrow night when i get a chance to play with it.

I totally got a computer from my school dumpster and the janitor told me it works fine but the school is making room for the new computers. I have the tower and monitor. only problem is that there is no power cord. Does anyone have an idea where i could possibly find one free?
Other than just asking around...

Has anyone seen the animated movie "The Last Unicorn"? The music is done by "America". And I think its a totally awesome movie. I found it on DVD recently. 

I am writing this essay about "The improtance of Representative Government to All Americans". It is for my Advanced Placement Goverment class application. I really need the college credits from this class so if you could harshly critiqe this I would greatly appreciate it.

This is me.





And I am goin out with her.




Do you think that I am really lucky? or that we look right for eachother. I just mean that she is 18 and I am 15 so I was woundering if this is amazing. Did I mention I love her?

I am writing a story about three american soldiers in WW1. Tell me what you think of what I have so far.

EDIT: Its only a page and a half
EDIT2: Please someone read this! I really like to have my stuff read for ideas etc.

WW! Story

God I love to go to used stores and get old games. I just got
Starwars Dark Forces for $1.91 (US)!

I am sorry if this has a sticky somewhere or something. I looked in the Crit's lounge but Didnt find it there.

MY question:


What programs do you people use for midi composing? I am thinking about trying my hand and making my own game music.

Im thinking of doing a Great escape game. I think I can handle all the backgrounds and sprites (I would be in dire need of character sprites though). It struck me that this would make a great adventure game because the entire idea is all about puzzle and problem solving. I have some sort of action GE game but it sucks worse than most any game I have ever played. God I hope I can find someone to help me with the coding though.


This is up for free discussion for puzzle/plot ideas (I am going to try to follow the movie though so dont deviate to much  ) Also any thing you have to say otherwise about this idea.

I was just watching the Great Escape with Steve McQueen and I realized how great of a game it would make. So i decide to draw the cooler. I like how it came out but I want to make the wall cinderblock but I cant seem to get it right. If someone could give me a hand, either with a paint-over, tutorial, or whatever, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

EDIT: Damn me! I just checked in the adventure talk/chat and saw the GE game that was made with LASSIE i am downloading nowÃ,  :'(
EDIT2: NVM its just called Great Escape (and uses the music)

This is for the BG blitz and I was wondering what I could do to improve. I cant really seem to do much with the stuff on the other side of the oval entrance.

NO background Yet but I am only looking for crits on the dance floor.

EDIT: sorry no more crits please

This is a little thing I am working on but I cant do the 3d effect on the pillars. Its meant to be a Roman Bath house. Hopefully one of you fellows can lend a hand. Other than that I am truely happy.
