Brainwaves of Sken

The funny thing is that I was having, more or less, the same conversation with three separate people, copying pertinent and amusing parts back and forth between the windows. (yes, I think this is a fucking banner day for LJ posting – If you defriend me for talking too much, you’re a jack-booted ne’erdowell!

(I totally shouldn’t post while listening to MC Frontalot vs Kompressor)

Jeska: sometimes i want to go live in a freaking cabin in the woods
Jeska: and other times i can’t imagine not living in a major city
Skennedy Work: I very much relate to both feelings.
Jeska: i sense a market
Skennedy Work: Teleporters are still future tech.
Jeska: hmm
Jeska: true
Skennedy Work: Imagine if you built your house entirely underground. Your -entire- property would be available for anything you wanted!
Jeska: hmmmm
Jeska: i like that
Jeska: we do that in SL ;)
Skennedy Work: With fiberoptics, you could still have plenty of daylight
Skennedy Work: Oh yeah?
Skennedy Work: Ooh. Check it:
Skennedy Work: recessed lighting on the walls that’s based on fiberoptics which concentrate light on top of whatever structure you -do- have on the surface (say, a garage, pool, or nature look-out). Meanwhile, LCD panelling on the ceiling to more-or-less replicate the sky outdoors, a la Potter.
Skennedy Work: Might cost a mil.
Jeska: lol
Jeska: fatal flaw in that plan is the million dollars ;)
Jeska: probably could hack it together cheaper if you were willing to roll up your sleeves :)
Skennedy Work: ‘course, I always wanted a secret lair
maybe a flat metal panel on the ground – use RF to start it, or a panel to announce yourself. small elevator down – traditional door underneath, except more RF for easy access when one’s hands are full of groceries. :)
Skennedy Work: *nodnod* Could build it for a few hundred grand if you were willing to patch together the LCD displays and could create a program to handle the weather output.
Skennedy Work: Which, really, there are lots of components similar to that, you’d just need A) for any inclemence to be coming straight down and B) for it to patch fairly seamlessly, and C) for it to be tied into, say, the reporting from weather.com
Skennedy Work: Imagine how fucked up it would be if that site went down and suddenly you had a GIANT BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH
Jeska: lol
Jeska: You could also probably add a layer of protect against the weather
Jeska: :)
Skennedy Work: what do you mean?
Jeska: Some type of protective layer to protect it from the weather
Skennedy Work: What’s to protect? It’s underground! It’s nearly impervious – if you create it with positive ventilation, you could even prepare it so that if you were expecting flooding, you could add ventilation like a chimney, sort of like how the Hum-Vee can drive in water up to its windshield.
Jeska: hehe

(segue)

Jvar: Building it on higher ground, like into a hill, would be good to help against flooding
Skennedy Work: Absolutely. In fact, I’d want venting that could work at normal capacity or large capacity, so (for instance) I could totally renew the air in a hurry. Maybe I’d have been painting something, or been sick.
Jvar: Totally
Jvar: Or someone let a cat in *grin*
Skennedy Work: *Laugh!*
Skennedy Work: Or someone ate taco bell
Jvar: *eeep*

(segue II)

Dasro Kast: …you are not making sense today.
Skennedy Work: That’s my point, I’m like SECRET LAIR! And you’re all “ohhhh, that makes sense!”
Dasro Kast: You are a confusing man.
Skennedy Work: Er,m thank you?
Dasro Kast: gesundheit
Skennedy Work: YES, I’m totally random today.
Dasro Kast: yeah you are
Dasro Kast: is it friday or something?
Dasro Kast: We all know friday is random day.
Skennedy Work: *laugh* Close enough. Still, it’s all about secret lairs, right?
Dasro Kast: It’s not a secret if everyone knows about it :D
Skennedy Work: *grins* It is if I kill them after! :)
Skennedy Work: I mean…
Skennedy Work: nuthin’
