[06:47] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[07:26] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[07:26] <brobostigon> \o
[07:26] <brobostigon> just submitted my first app for google assistant, :)
[07:28] <zmoylan-pi> keyed on the command 'ok google, i wonder what this does' it sets loud marching band brass band music for 0300? :-P
[07:29] <brobostigon> hehe, :D
[07:29] <brobostigon> nah, its a ST and D&D quiz.
[07:50] <brobostigon> and i have found some pretty obscure questions like, "which actress has been a starfleet captain and starred in murder she wrote?"
[07:59] <zmoylan-pi> not remembering a captain... https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Madlyn_Rhue
[08:05] <knightwise> Kahns great love !
[08:05] <knightwise> actress i'm not sure
[08:05] <knightwise> but acTOR is william Shanerr
[08:05] <knightwise> brobostigon: what is the answer btw ?
[08:06] <brobostigon> knightwise: kate mulgrew.
[08:06] <knightwise> of course
[08:11] <knightwise> New blogpost up : Connect to your server with sshfs from any os: https://knightwise.com/mounting-remote-directories-over-ssh-from-windows-linux-and-the-mac/
[08:12] <brobostigon> :)
[08:18] <knightwise> Been getting a lot more writing done since i've started using this old imac with Helium
[08:18] <knightwise> its a lot more distraction free ...
[08:21] <brobostigon> another pretty obscure one "Which electronic creature in ST:TMP is rumoured to have inspired the creation of the borg?"
[08:22] <knightwise> the binars ?
[08:22] <knightwise>  That or data
[08:22] <knightwise> or those self aware little robot vacuum cleaners
[08:23] <brobostigon> ST:TMP = star trek: the motion picture. sorry, but the binars nor data were in that film.
[08:24] <knightwise> Sorry , then it's of course Vger
[08:24] <knightwise> in the Shatner books they actually have a story where Vger is linked to the borg
[08:25] <brobostigon> :)
[08:26] <zmoylan-pi> there are a lot of books...
[08:26] <brobostigon> i couldnt find a better description for it, than an electronic creature.
[08:26] <zmoylan-pi> electronic entity?
[08:26] <brobostigon> knightwise: i put in an alternative answer, voyager 6, which it is also called in some books.
[08:27] <brobostigon> self aware electronic entity?
[08:28] <zmoylan-pi> entity implies self awareness, no?
[08:28] <brobostigon> possibily.
[08:29] <zmoylan-pi> they kinda covered it well in tng with data's status as a being been questioned and the metacomp episode where the automated drone tools become self aware
[08:30] <brobostigon> good point, yes.
[08:30] <brobostigon> that was a good episode.
[08:31] <brobostigon> or when data created lal.
[08:31] <zmoylan-pi> also great episode
[08:33] <brobostigon> or the one when some one from starfleet wants to disassemble data to study him, and jean-luc fights for datas rights to object to the procedure.
[08:33] <zmoylan-pi> yeah, that's the measure of a man episode i mentioned earlier
[08:34] <brobostigon> because that ep with the nanocomps, is a seperate ep.
[08:34] <zmoylan-pi> i know
[08:34] <brobostigon> :)
[08:34] <knightwise> amazing eip
[08:34] <knightwise> episode
[08:35] <zmoylan-pi> tng had a lot of *GREAT* episodes, some turkeys too mind
[08:37] <knightwise> Oh yesss
[08:37] <knightwise> the one where riker is a higly wanted commodity on a planet ruled by women :)
[08:37] <knightwise> and the one where they are on a planet where nobody walks , just JOGS and Wesley messes up their sacred flowerbeds
[08:37] <zmoylan-pi> wasn't that all of them? :-P
[08:38] <knightwise> No , thats MY autobiography :p
[08:39] <brobostigon> last one that i put in too, which actor was the in TOS pilot 'where no man has gone before' and 2001: a space odyssey?
[08:41] <knightwise> Ah easy
[08:41] <knightwise> Gary Mitchell

[08:42] <brobostigon> gary lockwood.
[08:42] <brobostigon> thats his character name in that ep. :)
[08:43] <knightwise> yep :) I know . I'm realy bad with actor names :p

[08:46] <knightwise> :)
[08:46] <brobostigon> :)
[08:46] <zmoylan-pi> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Lockwood
[08:47] <brobostigon> :)
[08:52] <zmoylan-pi> i just get distracted reading the wikipedia articles of the various actors and what else they where in...
[08:53] <brobostigon> :)
[08:54] <brobostigon> those are the good questions, because they dont just require knowledge of the specific subject, but also much wider.
[08:57] <brobostigon> like, umm. which actor been in ST:TNG, TBBT and diagnosis murder?
[09:03] <knightwise> tbbt ?
[09:03] <knightwise> ah big bang
