[06:47] morning boys and girls. [07:26] o/ [07:26] \o [07:26] just submitted my first app for google assistant, :) [07:28] keyed on the command 'ok google, i wonder what this does' it sets loud marching band brass band music for 0300? :-P [07:29] hehe, :D [07:29] nah, its a ST and D&D quiz. [07:50] and i have found some pretty obscure questions like, "which actress has been a starfleet captain and starred in murder she wrote?" [07:59] not remembering a captain... https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Madlyn_Rhue [08:05] Kahns great love ! [08:05] actress i'm not sure [08:05] but acTOR is william Shanerr [08:05] brobostigon: what is the answer btw ? [08:06] knightwise: kate mulgrew. [08:06] of course [08:11] 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] :) [08:18] Been getting a lot more writing done since i've started using this old imac with Helium [08:18] its a lot more distraction free ... [08:21] another pretty obscure one "Which electronic creature in ST:TMP is rumoured to have inspired the creation of the borg?" [08:22] the binars ? [08:22] That or data [08:22] or those self aware little robot vacuum cleaners [08:23] ST:TMP = star trek: the motion picture. sorry, but the binars nor data were in that film. [08:24] Sorry , then it's of course Vger [08:24] in the Shatner books they actually have a story where Vger is linked to the borg [08:25] :) [08:26] there are a lot of books... [08:26] i couldnt find a better description for it, than an electronic creature. [08:26] electronic entity? [08:26] knightwise: i put in an alternative answer, voyager 6, which it is also called in some books. [08:27] self aware electronic entity? [08:28] entity implies self awareness, no? [08:28] possibily. [08:29] 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] good point, yes. [08:30] that was a good episode. [08:31] or when data created lal. [08:31] also great episode [08:33] 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] yeah, that's the measure of a man episode i mentioned earlier [08:34] because that ep with the nanocomps, is a seperate ep. [08:34] i know [08:34] :) [08:34] amazing eip [08:34] episode [08:35] tng had a lot of *GREAT* episodes, some turkeys too mind [08:37] Oh yesss [08:37] the one where riker is a higly wanted commodity on a planet ruled by women :) [08:37] and the one where they are on a planet where nobody walks , just JOGS and Wesley messes up their sacred flowerbeds [08:37] wasn't that all of them? :-P [08:38] No , thats MY autobiography :p [08:39] 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] Ah easy [08:41] Gary Mitchell [08:41] Helmsman-turns-god and Dave Bowman in 2°°1 [08:42] gary lockwood. [08:42] thats his character name in that ep. :) [08:43] yep :) I know . I'm realy bad with actor names :p [08:43] :) [08:43] i thought up 20 in total. [08:46] :) [08:46] :) [08:46] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Lockwood [08:47] :) [08:52] i just get distracted reading the wikipedia articles of the various actors and what else they where in... [08:53] :) [08:54] those are the good questions, because they dont just require knowledge of the specific subject, but also much wider. [08:57] like, umm. which actor been in ST:TNG, TBBT and diagnosis murder? [09:03] tbbt ? [09:03] ah big bang [09:03] leonard nemoy ? [09:03] nImoy [09:04] wil wheaton [09:06] leonard nimoy was in columbo. [09:08] ah .. i don't know diagnosis murder [09:08] nimoy was also in mission impossible [09:08] didnt know that, :) [09:09] the original series with jim phelps [09:09] ah.
