Saline and cat hair do not mix

Catseye! The cup full of clear liquid on my desk is NOT water for you to drink! It's pH-balanced saline solution that needs to be kept in a state of static electrolysis for my contacts. If you insist on drinking from it while the little wires are there, not only will it give you one hell of a shock, but you'll also ruin the solution and I'll have to run the salinization cycle all over again.

And if you could return my #8 Torx driver, I'd really appreciate it. Yes, I know it's shiny, but I *need* it for my work, okay?

What am I, an assembly line? Not everything I build is pro bono for the masses.

Whoa. They're linked into your PDA, right? What interface language are you using to get what I'm assuming are eyemovements into commands?

For that matter, what did you use for the sets of eye movements and blinks? I mean, you could just go straight morse, I suppose, or some kind of directional codes. There's a couple of possibilities I can see there.

Micro RFID transmitters, actually. The interface language is all on the mobile, hardcoded onto a set of EPROMs. It's cascading menu-driven, off of a system I saw used once for stroke victims, only cleaner, neater, and smaller.

Only real bitch is orienting them when I put them in and getting the calibration set. A tad bit dizzying.

Toss me a copy of your source code? I'd be interested in taking a look at that.

Yeah, I can see why you'd get dizzy. I take it you put in some kind of code to prevent yourself from totally frelling up the mobile before you've got the contacts in then?

Wait until I get the patent, THEN I'll toss the source code around. Do I *look* like one of those unwashed granola-crunching patchouli-smelling open source nuts?

Dude, chill. I just wanted to take a look at it. I'm curious as to how you handeled cross-platform commands with one interface.

And Open Source gave us Mozilla, and don't you -dare- dis Mozilla. Mozilla is awesome. Tabbed browsing, man. You can't tell me tabbed browsing isn't awesome.

I like Firefox personally. But since that's an offshoot of Mozilla (If I'm remembering my browsers correctly) then I guess that's moot point.

Open Source gives you people who actually want to give things to the unwashed masses for free. Brilliance belongs only to those who are ready to comprehend it.

Mozilla's a fine piece of code, as far as software goes. Once you strip out all the bells and whistles.

Um. Yeah, okay. Not getting into the economics of Open Source, man. Obviously you missed a discussion or twelve.

Moz isn't bad. I could probably knock out of couple of the more cludgy places, as it has a few sticky points in the source, but I think it'd just be eaiser to write my own browser from scratch if I wanted to do that.

*innocent look* Pro Bono? Isn't he like the lead singer of U2?

And not an assembly line, just someone with a really cool set of contact lenses.

Alas, I have no actual money of my own, thus I shall just have to covert them quietly over here.
