@theoutrider every time I see Prism I think of US government spying things.

Ok, I am giving up on parsing postscript files. It could be really simple but there aren't any parsers that I can find that give me the strokes in a flattened format.

But DXF files are easy. So far we have SVG and DXF files as inputs for the Sinister Plotter.

Now I have to figure out what else to add to it.

And in todays bit of internet weirdness, postscript is not only a turing complete language, it can be used to do stuff like control electronics. This may have to go into my list of future things to play with.

well, it is a turing complete language. If I can find a reasonable list of what each command does parsing out the bits that I need may not be too terribly difficult.

We have cut through 3mm plywood with the frickin laser!!!

So for 'testing' we are going to make a bunch of puzzles and stuff.

@ekaitz_zarraga weird, it says you are following this account.

the EPS definition language is an almost complete programming language. I am not sure if it is turing complete, but it can display output and do math at least.

I was not expecting this.

This will make getting vector paths from the EPS files either much easier than I expected or ridiculously difficult. We shall see.

I in no way understand the asyncio stuff in python, but it works so I am going to call that a win and let the sinister plotter do its thing.

And now I get to figure out how to do asyncio stuff in python.

It looks like this account will get more use. I will probably move most of my tech stuff here. Javert and most other things will stay on @inmysocks@kitty.town I think.

MS is down again. I think that I should just move my main account to a new server. I was hoping to wait until I was in a position to just start my own but that isn't gonig to happen soon and MS keeps going down.

I think that someone was off by a decimal place or two on the throttling on mastodon.social.

It looks like mastodon.social has decided that any use of the site in too much at it throttles everything.

So since I have this account anyway I will be here for a bit.

Awoo?

Perhaps I will be version awoo for a bit since mastodon.social seems to be having troubles.

Awoo

@zatnosk yeah, I just spent like 6 hours yesterday playing with it and there aren't really other people running around. Once it gets going it may try to eat my life. I need to be careful.

@zatnosk check out children of ur! You can play something at least. I am not sure how complete it is.

@zatnosk I had looked at that a while ago, I haven't checked the progress in a long time.

I miss Glitch. If you never played Glitch you missed out. The company that made it went on to make Slack and released most of the game assets into the public domain.

This is brought to you by random irrelevant thoughts.
