[10:47] <sagaci> :/ or not
[10:56] <gorilla> or not.. what?
[11:00] <sagaci> ahh, just delayed since I'm capped til tomorrow :/
[11:01] <sagaci> gorilla, lca2013 is in canberra, are you thinking of going?
[12:27] <gorilla> sagaci: I'd love to go but will depend on expenses.
[12:28] <gorilla> I may take my laser tag system with me. (It hasn't been built yet but should be close to completion in time for LCA)
[12:31] <sagaci> laser tag system?
[12:34] <gorilla> Yeah. I soft launched a open source laser tag system. Think Paintball without the paint and also without the pain. Also can get better range :-)
[12:35] <sagaci> how does one prevent a brute force attack?
[12:35] <gorilla> oops.. I soft launched it at LCA in Ballarat.
[12:36] <sagaci> ie. continuous spraying on laser bullets
[12:36] <sagaci> of
[12:37] <gorilla> ahhh..you tweak the parameters... such as limiting the number of bullets.. lower the firing rate... or better barrel overheats if you continuously fire.
[12:37] <sagaci> ah ok
[12:38] <sagaci> does a laser grenade launcher exist?
[12:39] <gorilla> Diffcult to create a grenade to splatter light at a distance from the player. but M72 LAW rockets have been done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNWNEiOcve8
[12:40] <gorilla> I'm with one of the commenters... why is it so bloomin' big.
[12:40] <sagaci> I'll watch tomorrow after 8am
[12:40] <sagaci> when I'm uncapped :)
[12:40] <gorilla> Ha!.. bookmark it for later. :_0
[12:40] <gorilla> :-) rather
[12:40] <sagaci> yup
[12:41] <sagaci> proximity mines?
[12:41] <gorilla> Claymores have been done... either motion sensing or with a coiled remote trigger.
[12:42] <sagaci> is this kind of thing to be played in the office?
[12:43] <gorilla> Some people have. No reason you can't with a little bit of work, such as remove chair so you don't trip over.
[12:44] <gorilla> you left! :-/
