    shhhhhhhhhhhh just breaking the site again don't mind me

    very, very, very experimental fic continues its slow progress as the deadline for bicyclette's sci-fi contest draws near. these chapters are about on-par with what if in terms of length, but oh boy have they been an interesting experience to write.

    hey hey btw i've got a (couple of) public minecraft server(s)!

    yeah so anyway here is my webbed site lol. there's an MC Classic server for building whatever, and an MC Beta 1.7.3 server for playing survival. I might eventually also put up a modern vanilla server as well, though given how I'm hosting a bunch of servers already for friends and a couple of discord servers, idk if the little slab of a PC I'm using to host 'em all would be able to manage lol.

    summer break is almost here :V

    basically got one week left lol. got an experimental fic in the works that's a sort-of direct sequel picking off right where Splintershard ended. no prior reading is necessary.

    MAN it's been a while since I've toyed with writing styles.

Random Facts #110 · 5:33am Jun 8th, 2017

Once again, I nearly forgot that this existed. Let’s get straight into it now, shall we?


Acer’s proprietary “Converter Port” appears to be some sort of weird conglomerate of displayport’s receptacle, Thunderbolt/USB’s signaling, and some other random crap thrown in. No wonder why to this day, there’s hardly any support for the thing.

Thunderbolt, originally developed by Intel and Apple, is technically a successor to both USB and Expresscard, with the latter already entirely phased out, and the former simply being utilized in conjunction with Thunderbolt, which not only provides a standard USB interface, but also serves as an external connection for PCI-e.

Socket 7, (and it’s AMD-developed upgrade, Super Socket 7,) are still so well known for its wide range of compatibility that a (kind-of) recent study revealed that a modified Intel Atom CPU emulated on an FPGA and put into a socket adapter was able to not only be recognized by the test PC, but was even able to run a full version of Windows XP with few hiccups.

Firewire, unlike USB, supported “daisy-chaining”, meaning that instead of having a port for each device, a single port would provide connectivity for all devices, as each device would simply plug into the previous one, which would then connect all devices to the host device.

Claw machines often are indeed rigged, with the claw exerting varying levels of force each time, and having a generally weak motor that’s often unable to lift larger or heavier objects without failing.
