Sionide · « **on:** 02 May 2005, 06:50 »

Hello everyone...

From the creator of the QC Wallpaper Gallery - comes a new creation exclusively for the QC community.

Presenting......

The AnthroPC Handbook

Inspired by countless topics here in the forums about how AnthroPCs actually work, for example their connectivity, disk drives, system specs etc. - The AnthroPC Handbook is a place for everyone to jot down their ideas on this new generation of Personal Computer

There's obviously not much there right now, but it's a Wiki - so if you can think of an article or page you'd like to write about AnthroPCs then go ahead.

Make your way to http://www.sionide.net/anthropc/

Be creative, be imaginative, be technical. I know you're all so good at that!! Comments and suggestions most welcome, I need someone to create a logo for the top left-hand corner too!

Anyway, that's that. So.... Enjoy.

Hehe, cool. I look forward to reading some.

Switchblade · « **Reply #2 on:** 02 May 2005, 14:22 »

hold on, I'll go get the stuff I wrote on AnthroPC gender...

oh my god, coolest thing EVER! my god this is awesome, dude. i'd like to shake yr hand.

Samari · « **Reply #4 on:** 03 May 2005, 02:10 »

this could be fun if everyone can bust out their technical writing skills.

QC_fan · « **Reply #5 on:** 03 May 2005, 02:36 »

Very good...like it alot

_grace_ · « **Reply #6 on:** 03 May 2005, 03:03 »

oooh... technical language? sounds good.

Sionide · « **Reply #7 on:** 03 May 2005, 03:05 »

Haha, a good response. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves and develops!

lb969 · « **Reply #8 on:** 03 May 2005, 09:51 »

Updated with a little blurb about hardware...

_grace_ · « **Reply #9 on:** 04 May 2005, 02:04 »

hmmm... a section on "interacting with you AnthroPC" with example dialogs would be useful...

and and modifications you could make, including precautions to take if your AnthroPC doesn't like them. (reference to one of pintsize's friends who was painted and given a glass panelled chest)

kaida avari · « **Reply #10 on:** 04 May 2005, 05:36 »

i was reading the handbook and noticed that it says that anthropc's cant conume food, but there is a strip in which pintsize eats spaghetti sauce and then poops it out all over the couch. there is also an explanation of how he can taste things, but it must be his new chassis that allows him to eat things now. i will have to look up the strip and try my hand at writing something unless someone else gets to it first

the strip i am talking about is this one after faye cuts her hand and has to have stitches

Sionide · « **Reply #11 on:** 04 May 2005, 06:29 »

_grace_ - go for it, write about it... make it up! it'll be cool..

kaidia avari - yep, we need to build on stuff like this then... edit it out and replace it with what it should be!!

I just sorted out the main page.. bit of a tidy up. Added things to new pages instead of using the main page for everything, looks better now. Check out the disclaimer, hehe.

lb969 · « **Reply #12 on:** 04 May 2005, 06:33 »

I just fixed the food thing... Now it just says, avoid massive quanties (tomato sauce), and cake mix.

Its getting good!

Switchblade · « **Reply #13 on:** 04 May 2005, 12:31 »

added some stuff about clothes, tidied up the grammar in the section on lasers, added an introduction paragraph, and came up with the concept of "AnthrOS" - the operating system.

Sionide · « **Reply #14 on:** 04 May 2005, 13:54 »

Haha!! Switchblade you rock!! I knew you'd like this

Any budding artists out there come up with a logo for it??

You have a 135x135 canvas to work with (.png format, please use transparent background) Ideally it should have a picture of pintsize and the words "AnthroPC Handbook" on it...

lb969 · « **Reply #15 on:** 04 May 2005, 19:48 »

Anthrix, the AnthroPC Linux version...

I'll give the logo a shot, just gotta find a pintsize i like....

Got it, will work on logo tomorrow morning, to late tonight

Sionide · « **Reply #16 on:** 05 May 2005, 07:17 »

Thanks a lot!! make it good

Heh, Anthrix.. ahhh the fun is never-ending. I've said it before but I'll say it again, a die-cast model of Pintsize (lifesize?) would the COOLEST thing jeph could sell!

lb969 · « **Reply #17 on:** 05 May 2005, 14:24 »

TEST.

Wanted to see if transparency held, and if text was legible before adding any more stuff in, and having to do it all over....

Though... that DOES look good like that....

Feedback, Questions, comments, all appreciated.

lb969 · « **Reply #18 on:** 05 May 2005, 17:10 »

Text can be changed, colored, font swapped, ETC. I just used an 20pt LOXX cause it looked kinda cool... I have not rasterized it yet.

lb969 · « **Reply #19 on:** 06 May 2005, 06:46 »

Deleted to save me webspace

Sionide · « **Reply #20 on:** 06 May 2005, 06:54 »

Triple posting = Bad, use the edit button

Logo = Good! I'll use it. Thanks

lb969 · « **Reply #21 on:** 06 May 2005, 11:33 »

all HOURS apart.

I can change text color to match site, just tell me. (will be done later, im home on lunch hour from work)

Sionide · « **Reply #22 on:** 06 May 2005, 14:53 »

just uploaded, i prefer the first one... if you make a better version with better text or whatever, post it and let me know.

Sounds too much like Anthrax

Switchblade · « **Reply #24 on:** 08 May 2005, 15:23 »

I think that was the point...

Switchblade · « **Reply #25 on:** 09 May 2005, 03:57 »

Just linked to the handbook from the Wikipedia page on QC...

Sionide · « **Reply #26 on:** 09 May 2005, 06:19 »

Uhh... Okay, if it gets slash dotted and swamped with hits I'll have to take it offline, my bandwidth isn't limitless...

That's why I was hoping jeph wouldn't link it from the main site! (He hasn't yet)

This month in the first 6 days, I shifted more bandwidth than the entire month of Jan.

No worries though, I probably won't take it down - it's too cool.

Edit: Forget that, there's a possibility i'll be getting upgraded to 50gb a month so

lb969 · « **Reply #27 on:** 09 May 2005, 18:36 »

If you do get swamped i MAY be able to get my buddy to let me scam some space from his server.

I'd be a ProQStudio.net address tho....

and it would have to be PHP.....

PS:
If you like what you see at ProQ, i can do/redo the graphics for your page.
I do site design, web graphics, and a small amount of programming (PHP, http, and Java)

lol. sorry dude

but seriously, how many people visit the Wikipedia entry on QC anyway?

Sionide · « **Reply #29 on:** 10 May 2005, 13:01 »

Heh, not that many...

Anyway, it matters not! I scored a 50gb /month dedicated server.. No worries at all. Once it's on there, I'd be prepared for linkage off the news postings I reckon, I'll get in touch with Jeph when the time comes!

MEC_Modifier · « **Reply #30 on:** 11 May 2005, 23:36 »

This was a brilliant idea. I couldn't help myself, and had to add some tackiness to the accessories...but the idea of AnthroBling was too hard to pass up.

Sathanas · « **Reply #31 on:** 12 May 2005, 01:48 »

The handbook needs technical diagrams, showing the location of the holding tank, laser, power supply, RAM, etc.

And not diagrams done in Paint, either.

Sionide · « **Reply #32 on:** 13 May 2005, 15:06 »

I think I'll email our man Jeph for that

Revenge_Therapist · « **Reply #33 on:** 13 May 2005, 17:08 »

Just make it up. It doesn't really matter.

_grace_ · « **Reply #34 on:** 16 May 2005, 01:56 »

indeed, it doesn't matter. we could have a bash at doing them!

on the other hand, it would ROCK if jeph did them

lb969 · « **Reply #35 on:** 16 May 2005, 09:26 »

Ok what idiot, IP 24.1.73.236, deleted the table of contents?

compare last edit to current.

Edit:

I know you use comcast, and you use the Easternshore/Texas gateway.

Sionide · « **Reply #36 on:** 20 May 2005, 06:11 »

Yeah, I put the cotents back in and banned whoever it was for a little while. Please don't remove other peoples hard work unless you're improving on it.

Purpleman · « **Reply #37 on:** 04 Jun 2005, 08:55 »

great idea. what about a carry bag? and patches would b a good idea too

Sionide · « **Reply #38 on:** 05 Jun 2005, 14:36 »

Don't write about them on here then. Write about them on the wiki!!

We need some more content and less typo-editing!

Purpleman · « **Reply #39 on:** 10 Jun 2005, 07:29 »

Okay, carry bag and fake hair on accessories and personality patches in the personality section. Feel free to change spelling mistakes or grammatical errors, or the whole thing if it sounds crap...

bainidhe_dub · « **Reply #40 on:** 10 Jun 2005, 08:13 »

am i the only one for whom the general setup, personality setup, and hardware pages are blank? i woudn't put it past my computer to just not show them, but then again, they could have been accidentally removed?

Switchblade · « **Reply #41 on:** 10 Jun 2005, 08:47 »

no, I've got that as well...

Purpleman · « **Reply #42 on:** 11 Jun 2005, 04:30 »

yeah, me too. I thought it was an idea someone had but didn't want to fill it in themselves

Sionide · « **Reply #43 on:** 12 Jun 2005, 08:07 »

No, someone has just been mindlessly deleting things. Vandalising a wiki is NOT cool.

Would people mind if I enabled having to register to make changes? It doesn't take 2 seconds to register and it makes it easier to ban people and stuff like that. It would at least help with the problem...

It's either someone from this board, someone who found the link through the wikipedia page or a bot. You think I should take the link off the wikipedia?

Edit: I think I've fixed it and from the look of things, it was someone who didn't know what they were doing because previously they made some good edits. So, please be careful and don't wipe the pages whoever you are!

Spine Transfer · « **Reply #44 on:** 16 Jun 2005, 15:49 »

can anyone add stuff to the site or do u need credentials or summin?

Sydney · « **Reply #45 on:** 19 Jun 2005, 04:22 »

....
THIS IS AWESOME!!
I have to add something sometime.. wow...

Ok i added a rough Malicous Software page but i'm afraid in the process i made a bit of mess. There are two pages "Virus" and "Malicios Software" which are dead and empty atm. They should probably be deleted, sorry

Sionide · « **Reply #46 on:** 22 Jun 2005, 03:39 »

Anyone can add stuff, just click "edit this page" obviously it'd help if you read QC, so you know about Pintsize etc..

Edit: I like the Malicious Software page, well done - Keep up the good work

Sathanas · « **Reply #47 on:** 22 Jun 2005, 08:03 »

I'd just like to put my hand up and say that I contributed to the virus page, so gimme some of the glory. Gimme gimme gimme!

Sionide · « **Reply #48 on:** 23 Jun 2005, 05:08 »

Keep adding to it as much as you can! I'm sure the 'underwear' incident from todays strip can be worked in somewhere

Sydney · « **Reply #49 on:** 23 Jun 2005, 15:03 »

i like your additions, very good.
Hopefully i can add some more fluid stuff this weekend, i was mildy distracted while typing that page by a headache that laste on and of for about a week (some of us get all the luck :-/)
I do hope the underwear incedent can get worked in somewhere.

(edit)
Added a brief and rough note to clothing (influenced by todays strip). Needs refining for sure. (resist temptation to say "fo sho")

A syblings section needed? Owning more than one AnthroPC, brothers, sisters, arguing, ganging up on you/unsuspecting passers by ,etc.
Should fit under the "Relationships" heading i guess. Maybe create a "social" parent section, put everything else, sub-pages and all underneath it?

( edit (again) )

There was a mention somewhere (i think) of AnthroPCs being bisexual (reference to ps's last packet sharing session) somewhere but i can't seem to find it now, anyone help? Wanted to mention c3po (cus he's gay) and ps2 bots (also gay) (i'm sure someone will get the reference)

THESE FORUMS NOW CLOSED (read only)
