aaaa looking into moving across the country is a Lot

(for non-USians who might not realize, across the country here means a 36 hour drive that will probably be split over three or four days)

You hear about spaghetti code, but is there ever ravioli code? What about rotini code, or penne code? Linguini code?

another game we had on that PDA was another AI-manipulation puzzle where you tried to move your boat around to get the enemy pirate ships (which again followed predictable AI patterns) to collide with and destroy each other, or get them to shoot each other, or collide with islands

would like to find that one again too i think

trying to find an old game we played with once.... i think it was on a palm PDA (remember those?)

you played Totally Not Indiana Jones and were trying to escape some mummies in a pyramid

for every step you took, the opponents took two, always on predictable rules towards you

the whole game was puzzles about abusing the simple AI to get past them

Anyone know what this is, or where we might find it again?

Random fact, people who are annoyed by USians' insistance on not using metric look away 

at least in the US, the standard unit of PCB plating thickness is the "ounce". A regular everyday PCB will be plated with 1oz copper, but some that need to handle higher current will have 2oz copper, and some design restrictions might mean you want 0.5oz copper

you might think this is weird because it's the thickness that matters, not the weight, but not to worry! ounce is a measure of thickness in this context. it's the thickness that results from spreading one ounce of copper over an area of one square foot

you may note that this is specific to copper, and in fact the industry standard (1 oz Cu = 34.79 μm) does not correspond to what you would get using commonly accepted values for the density of pure copper (that comes out to 34.06 μm)--that's because this definition uses a very specific alloy of copper that does not correspond to either pure copper or even the copper you would find in wires

if we get this job we just interviewed for we are going to be moving to bend, oregon, which is apparently 1) a beautiful place to live and 2) *overwhelmingly* full of white people
