... Duna. Time to return window : 167 days.

Hello people, 38,3°C/101°F actually, according to national sources. And well it got in the news, at least here in France. Here's a cap of an article from FranceTVinfo, with its google translation : Strasbourg is located in a basin, in the Rhine valley, and is sheltered from the dominant winds by the Vosges and Black Forest mountains. Heat accumulates there, and it also makes it one of the most polluted city of the country. Cheers

Forget your rules. This is kerbal roleplaying. What you need is talking to your screen with your nose pinched, just like we certainly all do already. Have fun ! <-- leprechaun voice

... Duna, Bob does his best impersonation. --- Please share your crews' killing-time moments. Happy family photos, exotourism pictures, kerbal towers, EVA stunts and other escapades, anything goes.

Yep, 39°C/102°F here in the east of France. I've been unable to toy around with KSP for a week, my PC shuts itself down after a few minutes when the game is running. Bah, at least it's ok with my graph applications. So, Let's work ! (with a vaporous brain) It makes sense after all, but it always surprises me how much KSP is resource demanding. I can have Illustrator, Photoshop and Soundforge open, while Premiere is rendering a video in the background, without exploding the thermometer. PS : still, "Summertime, yay!"

Banned for letting your base, and the whole, quite large celestial body it is located on escape Kerbin's orbit.

Bwarg ! I can't cope with this ! ... Hello, Can anyone tell me how to approve comments that were posted on my blog ? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but well, I didn't find. As a regular paranoid and (averagely effective) tidy-up maniac, I had the "Moderate comments before displaying" box checked in my Permissions & Privacy settings. I noticed today I had a few comments submitted here and there since early June... (my apologies to the people who posted these nice comments.) So where's the "approve comment" button ? : ) Thanks for your forthcoming answer.

Bububut, Interstellar is already a parody of... ... Solaris. Jokes aside, your illustrations are well done. I wish you all the luck with the laborious path of multiple copy/pastes ! Cheers

Changed. Now it's this head... ...coming from this quick drawn, greatly discontent UFO.

Here you go : Avatar version 64x64 pixels, 19,2 kb. The solution to decrease the weight of the .gif, beside resizing the picture, was to drastically reduce its color palette. So it's a bit grainy, but I didn't want to remove images for extra lightness. and Profile Picture version 100x100 pixels, 63kb. Cheers !

Thanks Mikki. Well no, I haven't gone nuts : )... (I just have a terrible headache with the current heat peak). Making a hypnotic video was kind of the idea. I'm glad it took you there too. There's another Bob's Music Box online. More thought as a lullaby / screensaver / nap-companion. , if you missed it.I've just started filling a dusty Youtube account with recreational combinations of audio works and footage from KSP. Cheers

Yar.

Great ! Feel free to add them in the Summertime, yay ! thread ; ) For once, I will share something I have not made. This was originally posted by L3GO right here. I hope he'll forgive me, but this is what I consider one of the best, most touching screen capture from KSP I've ever seen. You have all my admiration for this one, L3GO.

It could work. But you'd need a lot of lights. For a color screen, using 3 lights, one red, one green, one blue for each pixel of your screen would give you a palette of 8 colors, as lights' colors are additive (as they should be) in KSP : - red, green & blue (1 light functioning) - magenta, yellow & cyan (2 of 3 lights functioning) - then white (all 3 lit) and black (all 3 turned off, and assuming the screen surface is dark enough). That screen would end up being very large. The difficulty would be to map all these lights to specific action groups, in order to turn the lights on and off and form a picture for every frame. Then activate the action groups successively. That would be a lot of action groups, and hell to organize. : ) Black and White would be easier, but would still require a lot of action groups even for a simple animation. But it should be possible. A 10-frame animation is conceivable with the 10 basic action groups. I'm toying around with lights in KSP, and all available action groups were used just for this : (I know, here it comes again, but Bob's so proud of his very own personal mini-lab)

!! 35°C here in France, a few hundreds km south. : ) --- Also, anyone has some kSP-related games, puzzles, riddles... that they could share here ? It was the basic idea. Triop, if you read me, your Something is wrong... but what ? series would be great in here. I'm working on the next game... No ETA. Any ETA I'd give would have to be doubled. Cheers.

I know that feeling. I can now open a pack of biscuits by pulling the tab.

(Thanks !) It's great ! I love mini-ships !

Lol. A great loss, apparently !

To add a touch of "Victorian time-machine" style to vessels.

How interesting. From the article : "Understanding how to adjust our internal seasonal clock could lead to effective ways of helping people whose internal clocks have been disrupted." That's me. Help, indeed ! I'm curious. What was your old signature ?

you asked. ----- Mystery revealed, this is the picture it was cropped from. Now everyone knows whose eye it is. Surely everyone recognized â–‘â–‘â–‘â–‘â–‘â–‘â–‘â–‘â–‘ taking a selfie.

Thanks Geschosskopf and Thomas988 ! Well I lost myself in my Illustrator layers and got late. : ) A sudden attack of "All my groups & paths shall have a specific name."

tinier is harder. ok, that was in the VAB.
