i really wish i could pick the brain of the people who developed the first eyemodule for technical information on how the camera works and the file format it outputs

Show thread

oh, yeah, jeez. didn't think to compare with the generated b/w copy (used for displaying in the visor), it has the same waffle effect. i think the sensor itself is damaged, then. bummer

for comparison, a picture i took with the first version of eyemodtool that supported the first eyemodule's color pictures (eyemodule2 just spits out straight jpeg)

it looks about right so something was being done right but i'm wondering if it's just off enough that more extreme colors would've always been broken with my converter

sadly i never actually used the eyemodule much to compare

the first shot was taken with a visor deluxe on the cartridge version of the eyemodule software, this one on a neo with the updated version of the software (the cartridge version does not support the neo), and it looks about the same, so it's not a version issue

either i'm doing something wrong on conversion or my eyemodule has gotten damaged somehow

starting to think eyemodule1 color pictures are not quite YUV (UYVY), and/or that the eyemodule1 color format is different depending on the version of the eyemodule software (since i only tried before on newer visors which needed a newer software than the one inside the eyemodule itself)

i accidentally overwrote the original PDB file with the pictures i took yesterday in retrieving the one with this test pattern so those are forever locked in exported funky mode

It has been 24 hours and I just needed to get some words down about my experience of being trans in the UK. These days do not stand out. chrisn.xyz/it-is-the-13th-july

oh you got a grammar pet peeve? you should of have not said that to me

Roughly 4 months ago, my primary Vehicle - a recumbent e-trike - was stolen from my home. Because I have no income, I can't save up to replace it, and it sucks to not have reliable transportation without begging. Help? Maybe? gofund.me/f1442f7c

Encona West Indian Exxxtra Hot Pepper Sauce

Extremely potent, still managing to not be bland. Not my favourite but certainly up there, and fun at parties to get reactions out of people.

Dollee Chilli Flavoured Oil with Crispy Shrimps

You will be compelled to put more than a single teaspoon of this in your noodles. You will then make a mistake.

and i only mention such an overkill approach so that it can adapt by itself to whatever dialog du jour websites have this week without having to constantly make new block rules manually

the only use i can think of for "A" "I" is for an extension to my browser that clicks the "reject all" buttons for me in websites so i don't have to do it manually and thus close an entirely automated loop that used a lot of CPU cycles in order to do absolutely nothing at all

asking about this on Reddit got my post deleted and locked for piracy. for wanting to chart my own custom songs. Incredible software, shit community. once clone hero finally supports vocals I'm probably dropping .
