Re: Kneenibble's Knack for Knightly Knickers: a Knell for Random Banter #184
See, I rather like brutalist architecture & think that building is neat. Even though I understand why it is generally considered ugly, I wish I could help people unsee their aesthetic expectations!
There is a very modernist building on the campus where I work [not quite brutalist, but close] that is also frequently considered ugly. The University had a number of older buildings crowded onto a small inner-city campus, and rather than purchase any surrounding property, they opted for a rather innovative design that "perched" atop the existing structures.
The campus before [being prepared for building]:

& after, from roughly the same spot:
Spoiler
& from the air [the black snaking building with tan roof]:
Spoiler
Its original modernist design, featuring huge open spaces and a facade almost completely glass, has been liquidated over the years for privacy and more classrooms & offices. Understandable, but an unfortunate violation of its concept. -- a unique concept very much following an explicit philosophy as well as an aesthetic.
I would love to go through your QPAC [built in the late 70s I imagine?] and see how the modernist-brutalist aesthetic at work in its facade informs the interior!
I'm not sure why I bothered posting all of that. Perhaps because I feel like modernist architecture is underappreciated. I don't mean to direct it at you, though.

IRN:
Speaking about programming, had my C exam today. I forgot the precedence order for ++ in method calls (pretty sure it was never brought up in the lectures to start with, actually) and I derped out on what regression tests are as well (but so did everyone else, so there's no point in feeling stupid about that), but the points I could lose on those questions are still fewer than the bonus points I brought with me to the exam, so I'm not especially worried about my grade as a whole.Last edited by Kneenibble; 2012-10-24 at 01:43 PM.

Emily's doing better, apparently. They switched her to 'the other vent' (not sure what that means) and she squeezed her mother's hand, so she's starting to show responsiveness.

Re: Kneenibble's Knack for Knightly Knickers: a Knell for Random Banter #184
Yeah, at least when I try. Given, trying to teach the precedence rules for ++ in C to the general mass would still be tricky. And pointless (not to be confused with "pointerless", which it definitely wouldn't be).
EDIT:
Good to hear. My own view on medical science might be overly optimistic in general, but I have good hopes for your cousin's recovery.Last edited by Teddy; 2012-10-24 at 02:36 PM.

Re: Kneenibble's Knack for Knightly Knickers: a Knell for Random Banter #184
What does that mean? How does the design clash with its function?
Brutalism is an unfortunate false friend of our word brutal. It comes of the French brut, raw/rough/uncut, referring to the style's use of unclad concrete [although it looks like that building might be limestone?].
The concert hall and art gallery in my city are both brutalist, and thrive.
I am glad to hear that.Last edited by Kneenibble; 2012-10-24 at 02:44 PM.

Pneumonia could mean bacterial infection, and that's good news. Just pump her full of antibiotics and she'll live. Don't expect her to move quickly or do anything strenuous for a couple of months though.
How do you call someone coarse, brutal, raw and crude and not have it be pejorative?Last edited by Asta Kask; 2012-10-24 at 02:51 PM.

Metal.. Culture? If any deserve the negative english honorific of barbaric, it is those uncultured fellows of whom i share a bit of musical taste. But I guess pubk can also take that title, and have a good claim to it.

Re: Kneenibble's Knack for Knightly Knickers: a Knell for Random Banter #184
So... frustrated...
(yes, there's a story here).
OK, so my dad is pretty much the best DM ever, but he's decided that with all of us kids off at college, he's done DMing, so he gave me all of his old notes. The guy has - for one campaign world that he designed - 11 pages of notes on random cities and various locations within them. The frustrating part is that I found this old dungeon he designed, and it's clear that part of it is a chess puzzle. I enjoy a game of chess every now and again, and literally every single player in my campaign was on their high school chess team, so I figured I'd try and see what the puzzle was. That's the ONE DUNGEON I can't find any notes for. *weeps bitter tears*.
