i spotted a woodlouse languidly roaming around the skirting board, i dunno how it got in so i went off to put the kettle on, and by the time id come back it had buggered off |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
buggered off, hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
lol you should have said " then we both listened to this " i think he heard it too. ; P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wonder if it will come back, do they have like town council meetings under the floor, and pass along primitive messages with their antenna , "no food found in sector A" for example, he is probably walking around in that Brownian motion way that simple animals do, thinking i must come back in that large space and cheek for dandruff when that giant homunculus isnt looking down at me |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
not sure about these creatures. was he near a outer door or open window or vent? maybe get a glass ready and beer mat and take him outside? i have to do this with spiders spiders are easy to catch in a glass tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or watch where he goes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah i always take care not to tread on them or anything, if i see him again, i'll pop him in an upturned glass, and stick him outside, i think he came through a gap under the window, we had new windows put in a while ago and they didnt do a good job of fixing the masonry for them, so its probably a bit of a woodlouse highway, when i go to sleep they all come in and have a bit of a party probably, cos its nice an warm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
See if you can fill the gaps with readybrek : P |
||||||||

Hi, while you were busy masturbating I programmed these fresh dance moves: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not sure i want to encourage them, knowing my luck the curtain twitchers over the road would see me poking readybrek through my walls first thing in the morning |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was masticating, but not masturbating, i find typing a two hand job |
||||||||
|
|

|
your gif reminds me of Daniel Day Lewis in 'my left foot' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have some kind of reverence for insects |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
^ yes, they are really beautiful when you see them u close, well some of them, iridescent carapaces, really interesting complex behavior, emerging from relatively simplistic rules the follow, woodlouse mind "yeah thats right, turn right once, taste for wood, if i cant taste wood, move forward 5 body lengths, then turn right again until i meet an edge, then turn 90 degrees left, if detect a shadow curl into small ball" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he hasnt come back yet, probably outside now under a small pebble enjoying the imminent dusk, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when i feel one insect is walking on me, i jump like i have been hit by lightning |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah reptilian brain reflex that is actually good album title, 'reptilian brain reflex' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it another brain disease? i collected them all lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
^ its the instinct we have from the most fundamental part of the brain feel something on your skin you just react without thinking consciously about it, like when you burn your hand on an oven |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont know for sure but i guess thats how most brains of insects function, simple input and output signals, i doubt they mull about weather they should go out on a windy day too much cos they dont like the look of an overcast sky, would be interesting if they did though1 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your explanation better than wikipedia |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah sorry that article was a bit on the heavy side |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never seen a documentary about insect behavior, would be interesting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apparently we have creatures all over us and inside us. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whole generations of infinitesimally small crustacean like creatues live, die and reproduce in the tiny pores on the end of your nose, and when you get a blackhead thats their accumulated poo and corpses that is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes docs always show us hunting behaviors, i was thinking to something that explains what you was talking about, movement behaviours, relations to weather and stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, i know what you mean, sort of like Brownian motion, conways game of life type behavior |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when i was young i used to build little 2d mazes for ants out of Technic lego and watch them find the sugar i put in the centre |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my brother was a bit meaner he span them on a small electric motor at like 500rpm or something to see if they got dizzy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah everybody did mean things to animals when we were little. worst i did was steppin on ants nests, drowning insects that i found walking on the sink.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
worst i did was flush a spider down the shower, i still feel slightly guilty about it weirdly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did that too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how?..it was Harrison. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry to trample on your spider conversation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in Scandinavia he is known as Harrison Fjord you know |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, I did not know. I wonder why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahhh the Fjords its pronunciation was my barrier to comedy pleasure.. :P monty python did a sketch on the Fjords, I should have known. ; > I was actaully seeking out text to voice progs today.... weird. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah pining for the fjords, i had one years ago, i like the speak and spell voice sounds like its having a stroke in this one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pining for the fjords, thats the one! haha mske it say aaaaaaapppphhheeexxxsssssssss |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats a pretty awesome circuit bending thingy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that sound so much like a aphex tool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and []pushers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, im pretty sure you could emulate. make a better version in supercollider patch |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
v true, but it does have that cheap plastic case sound. lol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could probably find the samples of the speak spell around on the net and have a play around with the control rates and stuff on supercollider to get an approximate sound, i reckon it wouldnt be too hard to do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and then play the sound back out through the speaker on the speak n spell just for the fun plastic case, naf speaker effect. |
