A Lava Lamp to stare at. - Dav - 09-26-2024 Something kind of silly but was fun to make. I started playing with some plasma code and it morphed into a lava lamp somehow. Never had one in real life. This runs slow on my older laptop - commenting out the _LIMIT 30 didn't speed it up at all for me. So if the blobs and plasma go too fast for you on your modern PC, play with the t = TIMER * .7 line to adjust speed. - Dav Code: (Select All)
RE: A Lava Lamp to stare at. - TerryRitchie - 09-26-2024 Hey that's cool! Now where did I put my bong? RE: A Lava Lamp to stare at. - bplus - 09-26-2024 @Dav nice lighting effect! I missed it last night, too dark to see the lighting effect on the walls aound the lamp. I like! I never had lava lamp either but I imagine this effect is realistic enough. RE: A Lava Lamp to stare at. - Dav - 09-27-2024 Thanks, ya’ll. I may redo the lamp shape one day. I’ll be offline for a while again. Storms/flood took out our internet line again. They will have to run another new line. Wish they would put it OVER the creek instead of through it. Browsing from a coffee shop right now. Hope our power at least comes on today. - Dav RE: A Lava Lamp to stare at. - TerryRitchie - 09-27-2024 (09-27-2024, 02:06 PM)Dav Wrote: Thanks, ya’ll. I may redo the lamp shape one day.Stay safe. My son lives in Tampa and said the storm was a big one this time. RE: A Lava Lamp to stare at. - Dav - 09-27-2024 Yep I hear it hit FL hard. We visited Cedar Key, FL last summer, looks like it got nearly wiped out from the pictures I've seen. We're in NC right now. Lots of wind and rain, falling trees. This coffee shop is packed with people who lost power and internet. - Dav RE: A Lava Lamp to stare at. - SMcNeill - 09-27-2024 Flooding has never been an issue here, but I may end up offline for a few days just like Dav. The issue we're facing is the dang winds this time around! Living in the mountains, with the hills all straight up and down, the wind will knock down old trees and then those fall on top of the powerlines... Which the electric guys then have to basically cut a road back into to fix. (Or dangle those poor guys out in those helicopters who don't make enough money at a zillion dollars an hour for their job!) We've had power flick off and on a dozen times already today. I'm kinda imagining that power may just decided to die for good eventually before this mess passes us on by completely.

Technologically high advanced, and then something like that - like in a "Third world country". Especially in rural areas like yours, it would be much cheaper to put the cables underground than to repair power cables every year. An old picture from Cleveland Ohio. I could not do it any better now.

Windier than crap right now, about 40 to 50MPH gusts. Not enough to knock down trees but some huge limbs dropping on power lines could cause power to go at any time now. Gotta love living in a first world country with third world wiring.
